Not that long ago, I would have answered South Park, but alas, I’ve given up on the show entirely once Randy became a marihuana farmer. Never has a more middling and annoying plot point been more stretched out and expanded to engulf an entire show like a giant all-comsuming black hole.

There was once a time when South

By now it’s apparent to all but the most ideologically blinded that race-swapping has become a hoary cliche that big studios use to shill a terrible product and silence any legitimate criticism of said product via accusations of racism.

I can’t help but thinking I’m rewatching the movie ‘The Player’, you know, the one where Hollywood takes a genuine and moving story and turns it into a shallow Bruce Willis/Julia Roberts vehicle, complete with the incredibly hokey ‘happy ending’ where Bruce Willis’ character stops the execution of Julia Roberts’

Some female readers might consider it sexual harassment.

There is one thing, and one thing only Eleanor should have written:
‘’This is the bad place.’’

Well, in S1 of GOT Jon was furious that for all his swordsmanship skills he had been assigned to be nothing more than a glorified house maid to the Lord Commander, even though the reason was pretty much the same as in Rhaenyra’s case. So, this is a prime example of being too blinded by one’s ideological biases to

We have a saying in Serbian: ‘’They’ll be making Game of Thrones out of mud.’’

73 episodes and 8 seasons not enough for all the ‘devoted fans’? They’ll be lucky if this lives to be even half as long.

Hard disagree here. I love that the characters are, for a lack of a better word, themselves. None is trying to be what they aren’t. And what they are is a bunch of court people, dutifully following the rules of their environment all their lives. None have ever had any outside life experience to be witty, or for that

Yeah, I’m all for equal rights, representation and all that stuff, but would it be too much to ask for a reviewer who is not ideologically biased to such an extent that they fundamentally misread major plot beats of the show (Jon kills Dany because he doesn’t want a woman on the throne, Viserys is grooming Allicent)?

As a fellow skin-around-the-nail-ripper, I can tell you why she is doing it. It has nothing to do with stress, at least not with the immediate sense of the word, but a lifetime of parental-induced anxiety. It often comes from parents projecting themselves and their expectations onto their child from a young age.

You

I guess anything mainstream that takes a turn in another direction can expect that kind of result’

You think? How I Met Your Mother, Game of Thrones, the ending of Myst, Twin Peaks 3. season ....

Aegon saw absolute darkness riding in those winds and what was in it would destroy the world of the living. When this great winter comes, all of Westeros must stand against it. And if the world of men is to survive a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne.’

Dany rode in from the north on her dragon and her quest

Well, the prophecy was not for naught. A Targ (Aegon) was definitely needed to be close to the Throne to prevent evil from spreading across the world (Daenerys).

It wouldn’t have been hard to setup [Dany’s turn], but they clearly had not intended that direction until the final season,’

Dany’s turn was definitely planned since the beginning of the show. The showrunners purposely never allowed Emilia to show any warmth in her character, which lead to complaints of her ‘wooden

I think it’s less (at least for me) that I’m bothered by her going full mad queen then the fact that it was done so abruptly.’

No, it wasn’t. You were just looking at her red flags through rose-colored glasses. People in the west have this idiotic idea that one can be violent and cruel without being evil.

Legit we

The most outrageous moment was one Targaryen stabbing another in the back metaphorically and in the heart literally.

This moment was the pinnacle and climax of the entire show!

Uh, huh, we really want to be equal, but since we aren’t yet equal, we shouldn’t be equal... now, that is what is called sticking to your principles!

See, the fun part is that I don’t even need to be rude to you to own you. All I have to do is take your arguments seriously.

I’ve read the Verses and found it an excellent book. The big irony is that the dream sequences which have angered the Islamic world aren’t even the focal point of the novel. I’ve read nothing else of him, but the novel is very much in a magical realist tone, i.e. a mostly realistic tale with some fantastic elements

Ah Jezebel, the home of such journalistic nuggets as:

Have You Ever Beat Up A Boyfriend? Cause, Uh, We Have’

Motherfuckers are up here like “same slapping rules should apply for,” even though the same pregnancy/parenting rules don’t apply for everyone.’

Oh, this is rich coming from the ‘men and women should be absolutely equal’ and ‘gender is a social construct’ crowd. You guys are all for equality only as long as you
