Well, *of course* there are a lot of people with sand up their ass because the show isn't exactly like the comic. But I've also seen a lot of people who love the comic (myself included), here and on other comment sections, whose reaction has pretty much been "Fuck. Yes. I'm not an imbecile who thought it would be in…

Now, there's a series I would love to see adapted to tv - if they could get the budget to not shrink the scope of the story.

I mostly agree… but I didn't get any of that from Crossed (at least the first few initial arcs Ennis wrote). That just seemed hateful, and kind of juvenile - being as disturbing and violent as possible just to be king of the 'disturbing and violent' hill.

Considering all of that medieval weaponry seemed to be in plain sight when the fighting started, how did Cassidy not notice sooner? Not a complaint, I loved the first episode, and it pretty well put to rest and apprehension I had for how well this would get the source material. Just made me laugh.

I enjoyed The Boys a hell of a lot more than I did Crossed - partly because I goddamn hate the house style of Avatar Press, but mostly because that series took Ennis' most misanthropic and mean-spirited instincts, magnified them, and then stripped away the dark humor in his other work that stopped that misanthropy…

You're right. I'm sorry.

That's fucking horrifying. Who makes shoes out of a baby?

what's the over/under on whether or not Bob Glover and Freddy Allen, Sexual Investigators are going to make it into the series?

Yeah, so it's a safe bet that the Quincannon story line was moved forward and will make up the first season.
Really, I think that's a good plan for the show. That story line in the comics was kind of a long pause to the over-arcing story. Moving it to the front end of the tv series will really let them get across the…

Today's been such an emotionally conflicting day for Canadians. This bullshit, but also the Raptors somehow managed to stay alive and tie things up with the Cavs, all while we're tearing ourselves apart (politely) because half the country doesn't understand the difference between 'accidentally bumping into someone'…

I'd say anything from Up to Here, through to Trouble at the Henhouse.
I'd also say there's no shame in downloading their greatest hits album, Yer Favorites, and then seeing which album(s) your favorite tracks are from.
But I'm an asshole whose favorite Hip song is Bobcaygeon, and favorite album is Fully Completely.

Maybe it's because I have a husky (which I guess looks visually similar to the dire wolves?), but I dunno, I found Summer's death harder to watch than Hodor's.
Jesus Christ, this show is only *slightly* behind PETA in 'eagerness to kill dogs'.

Well HBO would never have been facing this problem if they had of just made the smart executive decision in season 1 to rewrite all the dire wolves as being pugs.

Hey, who's to say the white walkers aren't union?

Under Euron the Ironborn will have the best boats. Really, really great boats.

"Petyr! Petyr, it's Marvin. Your cousin, Marvin Baelish. You know that new sound you're looking for?"

The idea that 'nerd culture' has been embraced is bullshit. The superficial trappings of nerd culture? sure. But *actually* being into nerdy things? not so much.

We get to savor the knowledge that we understand the concept of 'how many seconds anti-skip protection does our discman have?' being a bragging right, and being the last generation whose earliest exposure to porn was most likely discovering random caches of it in the woods.

I'd prefer Survivor: Post-Apocalyptic Los Angeles v. Byzantine Empire.

Can someone explain to me what actually constitutes a Millennial?
