dude just listen to the isolated audio of the show is you need to in order to be understand the criticism: the writing on this show is bad, obnoxious, cringe, shite. it just is. it's ridiculous we're pretending otherwise

Just wanted to say they I really appreciate this well written, thoughtful, and even handed article. This was the highest quality article AV Club 3.0 (or whatever version we’re on now post LA relocation) that I can remember reading. Blissfully minimal unearned snark or hot takes.

Pepperidge Farm remembers

there are black characters in his world, he just didn’t make the Valyrians black. and given that he wants them to be inc*stuous, bloodline-obsesses, violent weirdos prone to going insane and mass murder, so much the better.

First time after the tragedy is probably least likely time for things to repeat, but I'd still stay away 

he doesn't really know his number, he has the same number because they are the same soul in a different person. also it's hilarious.

it’s a new low every day around here

that’s fucked up

They always were 

An IQ of 120 is 1.3 standard deviations above average (mean = 100, standard deviation = 15), which is in the 98th percentile of the reference sample

In this clip they are actually pretty balanced in their analysis of the movie (Dowd is mostly positive, Rife seems skeptical but open to changing her mind on certain points). Dodd’s initial review was also pretty balanced, and here he basically acknowledges that it was ridiculous that AVclub labeled it as one of the…

Everyone deserves a trial

couldn’t agree more. Jon Snow is firmly established as an inspiring example of valor and nobility that is also a gallant idiot. That’s been a defining trait of his since pretty much day 1. He is truly Ned Stark’s son, regardless of his lineage.

Don’t sweat the haters, your recaps are the best part of watching this show.

I have enjoyed Soylent Green’s recaps for years. Definitely the best part of watching this show, and one of the few best running bits left on AVclub in the post-Kinjapocalypse era.

Excellent analysis, you should be writing for avclub
