I still think the original comments were bitter and douchey, but on the other hand, this guy delivered such a memorably unconditional and deeply ashamed-sounding apology that I’m inclined to allow it. Unequivocal apologies are such a rarity anymore.

I think you’re on to something here. I can’t remember hearing a single negative rumor about her professionalism before, and it strikes me that there’s something very fishy about this dude. There’s something so unnecessarily spiteful about going out of his way to trash her like that. I smell a bitter, bitter little…

Dude gave Adam Fucking Levine a starring role in his movie, for chrissake. His sense of judgment is debatable at best.

“...but it’s very possible for a person to be capable of both good and bad.”

Now I feel like the walrus might usurp the otter as my spirit animal.

But only half of his earnings in the past year of marriage, right? Probably not that big of a percentage of his total worth.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Agreed that he led the raid on Olly’s village and has set aside those ways due in part to self-interest. Arguably, though, he set aside raiding and pillaging and came into Castle Black in order to save his people. So it’s self-interest mitigated by a real desire to ensure wildling survival. The wildling raids were…

It’s interesting how the show portrays some of these characters who have darker pasts. Tormund in the show seems quite a bit less awful than Tormund in the books—though it’s been awhile since I’ve read the books, admittedly, and I can’t recall a ton of his back story details. There’s a story that he fucked a…

PLEASE let it be attraction!

I like Tarthsbane! Far superior to Brormund. Or Torienne.

I do get your meaning! And 100% agree that the concept of a wildling lovah is so very far from her radar that she doesn’t know what to make of it. She was in love with Renly and then in some sort of infatuation with Jaime, after getting past her initial disdain for him. So her “type” seems to be conventionally…

This is 100% my take, too—that she has very visceral, inescapable body memories of what Ramsey did to her. God, was that a powerful scene—and her delivery of those lines was so powerful. So much fury, but delivered in such a poised way. I hate what has been done to Sansa, but her trajectory as a character has been…

Yassssss! But is Brienne *really* not into him, or just confused because she’s so used to being dismissed by men as an attractive, sexual being? I am shipping these two SO HARD.

I agree with a lot of your points. But I am left wondering exactly what it is that you think Sanders is supposed to do here. I think he’s made pretty clear, consistent statements disavowing supporters who use any sort of violence or threat of violence as a tactic. When the whole “Bernie Bro” meme first emerged as a…

Yep, based on things I’ve read about Pitt, that makes sense. I definitely got the impression that there was more to the ending of that marriage than just straight-up having intense chemistry w/Jolie. You definitely didn’t get the impression that the Aniston/Pitt union was without problems prior to his making Mr. &…

I agree. I’m definitely not in the “Jolie’s some sort of sorceress” camp. Ultimately, it’s much more about the choice of the person in the committed relationship. That said, I think there are usually choices the other person (Jolie in this equation) makes, e.g., making it clear that they’re available and would like to…

I thought the same thing!!! When they talked about him barging into the room where she was trying to pee in the funnel, I thought, “Hmmm, that’s a bit over the “just goofing around” line for a married man.” And then I saw the divorce announcement and it made more sense. Seemed more like the behavior of a dude who’s…

Yeaaaahhhh....although Jolie has a pretty solid history of getting involved with men who are in committed situations with other women. She split up Laura Dern and Billy Bob Thornton’s engagement prior to the whole Pitt/Aniston thing. Granted, I think it’s the person who chooses to step out on his/her SO who is the…

Word.
