And yeah, the bronn Jaime shenanigans were the weakest part of the episode. I'm OK with Jon telling stories about the snow elves. You can assume its folklore in the north, and as an educated bastard and commander of the nights watch he would be familiar with the stories. They didn't need to...

Yeah, I'd let dany ride me too. Dose eyebrows.

Mac and Charlie are White Trash!

Well, it only took them seven years to GET TO THE FUCKING POINT. It was a good episode. If the whole series had been of that caliber instead of just one or two episodes per season... that woulda been something special.

Maybe it was legitimate rape. You do realize that a woman can't get preagnent if its really rape, right?

What about hodor coming back as a zombie but he can talk now. So the night king basically unretarded him. Switcharoo! The night magic is healing magic! Man was the villain all along!

Hmm, yeah. The problem is that the internet castrates the book. The premise and the theme. Bradbury saw vr and wall sized televisions coming though. Its a great book to read for some 50s Americana. Ultimately its about authoritarian censorship and the liberty of the individual. Somehow I...

I'll just tell them I'm so scared its making my dick hard. Then show them. Free booze!!!

The thing is, dick isn't even talking about androids. He's talking about extreme loss of affect. He's talking about what the internet is breeding. The voight kamph test doest test for androids. It tests for psychopathy. It just so happens that all androids are psychopaths. Emotion can be...

There's a powerful chapter in the book where a replicant instill doubt in deckard about his own humanity. But it does not translate into the movie. I don't think that character exists. And the power of it is deck coming to terms with HIS humanity, and making a moral choice. That's what Scott...

Well dammit,next time I fly I'm acting crazy. Free booze.

Well dammit,next time I fly I'm acting crazy. Free booze.

Martin does hit that problem of scale sometimes, it seems. The lannister standing army is ten thousand strong. And this is after a few wars. So the lannister kingdom must be at least a million people, but spread fairly wide in medieval agriculture. And they have to have an industrial base to...

They're from the same city, I think. That's what I took away from it at least. Dickless and Titless share a heritage, and Dickless knows exactly what sort of trouble she is. He wanted her to just go away, and he wanted to insult her a little bit before she did. And for her part, she really...

HAVE YOU BEEN TO SUNSET BEACH?!?!? I like how it's building up into a Jesus story though, and you can tell that it is... and then he goes FULL JESUS. Unapologetically FULL JESUS. Neo does the same thing in the Matrix. They really are incredibly similar movies. The Matrix just does it with...

The rest of the episode made me laugh though. Sansa is like "oh no, my brother... the Lord of Winterfell... did WAY TOO MUCH ACID while he was north of the wall."

Dany has been pretty consisitently one of my favorite characters in the show. But they went way over the top with the pomp and circumstance of her homecoming. The entire show is about how there is no actual respect for tradition, titles, or what happened yesterday. It's not even a central...

Well, that's the whole thing isn't it. For all her talk of "breaking the wheel" she sure is acting exactly like another cog in it. Except, you know, stupider and frittering away an unlosable election. If I'm Jon Snow i've got a real case of "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" going on too.

Well, he addressed that too. He was basically elected King. And Dany told him, "We all enjoy doing what we're good at" and he replied "No. Not me." Dany came off like a real cunt at the exact time in the story where she can't afford to be and is pretending not to be -- is the upshot. lol...

Dark City, it's consistently under rated. Suffered a lot from coming out the same year as the matrix and having a very similar theme. Of course you can make a fair argument that's not Sci-Fi at all, it's just a Fable. But if you ever looked for it, it would be catagorized as sci-fi.

He kinda did. He told her that as near as he could tell her entire claim to legitimacy rested with the name of her father (and the huge army that she is systematically suiciding). I mean they telegraphed that so. fucking. hard. with her list of titles in the first scene. It was heavyhanded...

riding on a plane is like riding on a bus. I'm not a big traveller. I've done it a few times. The anticipation is far worse than the reality. Because look, if it does crash, you'll only have about 60-90 seconds to be afraid. And then you'll be a pink on fire smear in a crater. There are...

I mean basically the deus ex machina is Dany's complete incompetence. Oh, and she doesn't want to kill 10,000 civilians. Nevermind she'll wind up having a lot more blood on her hands by doing it this way.

Because the primary law of feudal societies is that the King (or Queen) can do what the fuck they want. Might makes right, and all that. She even said it this episode. That's her vision of law, and it's Jaime's too. I'm not saying it's mine, but mine doesn't matter. It's reliably been hers...

It even comes through on the show. He doesn't value the stuff, he values the mayhem. Not Chaos, like littlefinger. Mayhem, like Odin. Littlefinger is Neutral Evil. Euron is Chaotic Evil. Cersei is Lawful Evil. Jaime is just a one handed cuck. And yeah, if Dany is becoming more like book...

That's over the line girl shit. You don't even demand anal. She could show a little appreciation!

No,you're not wrong. There's no good way to deflect the question that should have not been asked. It is hurtful. But you aren't wrong. The best you could do is instead of just point blank saying no is remind her some questions should not be asked. Still distancing and hurtful, but more pointed.

Oh, its a great story and I appreciate it as one. I think people would actually get triggered. If you told that story as straight as Herbert did, it would offend just about everyone. He wrote a religious story. And a good one.

Jesus. I don't know about dune. I love books one and two like any nerd, but the story is ISIS in space. Talk about clash of cultures. The thing is that in dune, the Muslims win. Even if Paul does a little Jesus homage. His son sure fucking doesn't.

I don't think that it matters at all in westeros. Shit is straight roman. The two worst emperors, Nero and Commodus, were the two that no one had the means to ursurp. Kinda like Geoffrey and tommen.

Wow yeah, me either. And that's really clever. I wonder is there's a trick to hiding the curve. On the flat screen it looks flat. But the might just be an optical trick created by foreground background perspective. I'm gonna focus on the background next time and see if the curve shows. I...

And scams. I get at least one scam a week. I answered one claiming to be policeman benevolent (it obviously wasnt) and told the dude to go shoot some American Inventors running phone scams. That worked. They never called back! He got so mad, lol.

Yeah, I liked her in dread and connor. She's probably one of the better actors on the show. I mean Charles Dance was great. I did notice that Jon Snow is laying that accent on thick as fuck this season. It seems thicker than in previous, but maybe I just don't remember.

Yeah, dany is just dany. Cersi.. dani... they both fucking suck, tbh. I think Cersi had her lips done, too.

That episode wasn't so bad. "That's not you" actually made sense, without knowing the reference. Without the reference I just took it to be Arya granting the wolf the same respect that she grants a human. More respect, actually. And they needed that scene. Because without it her turn to the...

Are scripts really formatted that way? Do actors just not know how to read, or something? Center justified. You may as well write them in comic sans!

Soys lady is Asian. Shell live to ninety, so its been considered and answered.

It is too old. Defects skyrocket. Sorry, but there is am age range. Who is going to take care of the downie when they're sixty five and dead? Not to be an asshole about it. These are real issues that merit and demand consideration. At 40 "hope for the best" is not a good enough fucking plan.

They will need a new formula. They've already homaged all the big ones. There was a plot. It was just a very simple plot surrounded by a boatload of ambience. It was a good plot, even. With children as protagonists you want simple. That's the strength of it.
