I wish AV Club would rethink this whole “publishing articles as fucking videos” thing.

I remember thinking that the twist in the original was so obvious that the filmmakers were deliberately telegraphing in order to do a misdirect. The hints were so obvious and consistent that we were going “well clearly they won’t do that”.

Another example of why I went cold turkey on comic collecting (at least with the big two publishers) after decades in the hobby. Every death, every game changing event, is completely meaningless these days.

“Fans of the Scarlet Witch might still be bummed that the Wanda Maximoff of the Marvel Cinematic Universe turned evil, killed a lot of people, and buried herself under a mountain at the end of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Magic.”

This everyone’s fault but Lil’ Kim’s, cos she been done told ya’ll about Dicki Garbaj’s swagga-jackin’ ass back when they first gassed her air-head up and put a wig on a balloon with a face etched in on it. And this trick is proud to tell you she got an army of old white men (see: “Burstein”) ready and willing to…

the king seems content in his marriage (to, I will stress once again, an underage girl)

I object to Jenna’s description of the final battle as thrilling — everything about it was totally obvious and not shot in an interesting enough way to make up for that. This is my biggest complaint about this show so far: it just seems like box-ticking and moving pieces into place.

He is finally starting to look his age, at least from a recent pic. I agree he had a round baby face for the longest time. 

Uh oh. I spy a gathering of Karens in the comments.

Mysaria was really pregnant, but she did not die in childbirth.

“It’s been half a year since Viserys named his daughter Rhaenyra his heir, but she’s still only a cupbearer at the Small Council meetings. I’m pretty sure a male heir to the Iron Throne wouldn’t be forced to serve as a glorified waiter, but, again, Westeros gonna Westeros.”

Her father has her as his cupbearer so she’s…

Your comment reminded me of that Simpsons bit ...

My impression is that at least a fair number of people go to church out of habit without actually taking in a word that is said. I remember once a priest gave a lengthy and passionate sermon on the necessity of charity and compassion for the poor, using ample Biblical references. Not two hours later, my mom, who…

I'm fairly convinced that a lot of them haven't actually read the damned book, and either go off of what the preacher tells them or skim it to cherry pick things that plausibly can be made to conform to their pre-existing prejudices.

Yeah I thought calling their deaths “untimely” was a little weird, unless the implication was that they should have died much sooner. 

THEIR DEATHS WERE NOT “UNTIMELY”. THEY HAPPENED PRECISELY ON SCHEDULE.

No, no - there’s the one he just buried as a golf bunker to get the tax break on the property, and the one he cheated on with the centerfold who he cheated on with the paid-off porn star. Get it straight for Jesus.

The other one? The one he only knows as “Marla’s kid”?

Why do you think Don is pushing Ivanka towards that role? He knows Don Jr and Eric will just fuck it up, Barron’s too young, and he forgets the other one exists most of the time.

Inspiring when a child so effortlessly assumes handling of the grift machine following their parent’s deaths.
