"And is it good or bad that all the women are becoming as stubborn and arrogant as all the dead men they replaced?" I'd say bad for Westeros, good for narrative convention. Women aren't any more or less suited to ruling than men. GoT is flirting with an oft-raised trope of benevolent female monarchs. Which is frankly…

They are hand-waving a bit of his past 'oh he was exiled and traveling or something', but the actor is such a magnificent ham I just don't care. He was actually menacing in that ship fight too.

She's a classic propagandist - dispensing truth divorced from context, which then creates its own context. Wonderfully clever, actually.

Anyone else notice the absurd amount of reaction cuts when Jon names Sansa lord of the north in his absence? Sansa, then Littlefinger, then Brienne, then Seaworth. It was actually kinda of hilarious.

The Ed Sheeran stunt casting was absurd. Took me out of the fantastical setting and gave yet another opportunity for a medium talent with outsized global reach to enter my home. Sigh. The wrong Shireen got barbecued (this joke works better phonetically..)

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but does anyone else want to see all of Dany's/Arya's/Jon's scenes in order, without all the other story lines? I hope HBO publishes something like this once the series has ended. I'm really enjoying my stay in Westeros, but I keep losing bits of the thread. A 4-5 hour super…

Much like The Office, Malcolm in the Middle is one of those shows where I mostly hate the main character (Michael Scott, Malcolm), but can't get enough of the relationships and antics of the rest of the cast (Dwight, Dewey, Jim, Hal). Finished a full series re-watch over the past three months and actually teared up…

Had the same thought/comment - but with a bit more profanity.

"This isn't exactly how I feel about the original trilogy, why do you have to change things - fuck you Disney!"
"This is exactly how I remember the original trilogy, why don't you idiots have better ideas - fuck you Disney!"

Like most of Emmerich's work this movie looks a lot better than it is. So many characters that do nothing. So many plot threads picked up and then quickly severed or abandoned. No real lead. 'Lost' style introduction of a the deus ex machina Wall-E-type robot that can open holes in space, and shepherd the resistance…

I agree with the grade here - the show is improving on what I already thought was a pretty solid basis and the character's interactions feel more natural and earned.

Seydoux's performance was fine for an emotionless assassin. Everything else I've seen her in has made me think 'pretty, annndd not a great actress'.

I think most of the disappointment (at least mine) was the come down from the first Jack Reacher, which was a great thriller. One of the few 'whodunit' films I've bought and seen several times. Never Go Back had a fun first 20 minutes (the scene in prison was awesome) but then turned into the world's most expensive…

Ghost Protocol was a legitimately great action thriller. I would not be surprised if it becomes Die Hard to people born after 2000. Rogue Nation had inspired moments (the heists never disappoint) but the bad guy felt very under-developed (which is a shame considering Sean Harris had the cold, menacing look down) and…

I've had at least one deleted where I echoed some of the criticism regarding this reviewer's highlighting 'implicit racism' with regard to appropriating "Asian" culture, specifically the "chattering monkeys" line in Episode 3. But apparently measured, respectful disagreement violates community guidelines…

Exactly. Seems the reviewer makes the connection a lot quicker and sharper than most.

I still feel like this reviewer and many of the comments are not effectively placing themselves in Danny Rand's position. He has spent 60% of his life training with warrior monks. He has been surrounded by mysticism for what essentially amounts to his whole life. To Danny, the Iron Fist is a thing. K'un L'ung is a…

I think those questioning Danny's actions when he first returns aren't putting themselves in his "shoes". He leaves his home at 10, turns out it's the last time. Is raised by warrior monks in a pocket dimension for 15 years. Becomes the Iron Fist. Returns home possessing none of the social graces that most people in…

I just love Detective Carter.

Clickbait title.
