Yeah, it's shaping up to be nearly BvS-level bad at least as far as critics' responses. My friends are dragging me to see it on Thursday. At least I can settle in and enjoy the unnecessarily ubiquitous ass cheeks.

Maybe, but then why the CGI? Again, it's just a dumb and meaningless nitpick anyway.

We finished this yesterday. My wife normally has zero interest in any kind of sci-fi stuff, but we both loved the show. There really wasn't much to complain about, but if I were to put on my internet asshole hat, I'd say a couple spots of writing were a bit too lazy and predictable. Those...

The cast is the reason to keep watching these movies. I even enjoyed Into Darkness for that reason despite the horrible decision to make Khan the antagonist. Uhura and Sulu kind of bug me, mainly because they bear little resemblance to their TOS counterparts beyond being a black woman and an...

Wait, wait...did someone actually complain about the fact that they didn't feature a TOS villain in this like they did in the last movie? That Khan reboot shit was terrible. Please don't encourage more of that nonsense.

They all start out that way. It'll drop down a lot by release.

Oats was absolutely rocking it. What a way to go out. I happened to jump on a stream of Zoast running the game yesterday, and he was easily on a world-record breaking pace. He died in exactly the same way. Crazy. That seems like a really uncommon place for these guys to die.

How? It's plainly forecasted in the first book in a Bran vision. If anything, it's more likely to happen in the books than the show.

He's been busy blacksmithing a wave machine that'll send Dany back to Mereen for another three seasons.

Jamie the Queenslayer would not be unsurprising. I was perhaps reading too much into it, but when he first walked into the throne room I totally thought he gave a look like, "Really? I gotta do this shit again?"

It was almost note for note identical for a bit there. So awesome. Easily the best episode 10 of the show.

And there's still like 40 minutes left.

That was quite the stab, boom, splat combo. Christ.

I only just finished W1 within the past few months, after first buying it the day of release almost eight years ago. It's an odd mix of fantastic and clunky, rewarding and tedious, innovative for its time but not so much today, etc. I'm certainly glad I finished it despite some challenging spots...

I wasn't bitching about it, and I thought it turned out terribly..maybe Dorne-level bad, with the additional bonus that we spent 800% more time on it. Ugh. I did really like a lot of the episode, but that was just dumb all around. Also, did people really expect to see rusty old Brynden...

I wasn't under the impression that it was Braavos at all. I'm sure they'd have the Titan show up in the background somewhere to establish the location. Plus they're on their way to Daenerys, so that's more evidence against.

Worst of the season? No way. This was one of the best IMO, other than the last scene. Arya being stupid was completely in character. She let her excitement overtake all caution and sense, as she often has.

Cleganes' gonna be going apeshit. Other than the silly ending, this episode felt like good old fashioned Game of Thrones. I'm surprised that this season has been so enjoyable, despite some of the shitty bits.

I definitely felt a lot more momentum in this episode than in any other this season, and somehow without anyone dying. The Aerys flashback was unexpected and awesome, but so brief. More, please. Also Randyll Tarly was perfect. I hope we get a lot more of him. The show has been sorely...

It's been a long time since I read the books, but I remember Euron coming off as far more menacing. This guy just seems like a generic dick who knows how to woo a bunch of dumb redneck sailors. No Silence? No Victarion? Meh.

So as a fan of Total War games in general (at least in their optimized, non-buggy forms), but as someone who has never played Warhammer anything, is this worth a buy?

I know people who can't get emotionally moved by works of fiction. These people don't waste their time involving themselves in works of fiction, which is perfectly reasonable. So, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Now that's a profound realization to make after considering you've missed out on over 5 seasons of buildup. I shall wait eagerly and somewhat impatiently for your next moment of brilliant contemplation.

Ghost and Arya's. Rickon's maybe if you believe the theory that it was just a big wolf's head.

And now the countdown to the impending avalanche of poorly composited Hold the Door in memorium memes begins.

Okay, I'll settle for those Sansa tits. Also, SummerandHodor? Dammit.

Not to defend Column, but I don't think I'm capable of reading comics anymore. I've tried going back to some of my old favorites, and I just can't. I enjoy the movies, but my comic collection memories will fondly remain in the 80s/90s where they belong. That shit just doesn't hold up for me.

I finally saw it. Awesome. Even my wife enjoyed it, and she typically hates superhero/sci-fi/fantasy movies with a fiery passion.

I was considering countering most of your points, but once I arrived at your conclusion of Cap 1 being the best, yeah, peace out.

I don't see a big problem with either of those. Like you said, Rhodes's suit was completely dead. There was nothing to mitigate the impact of the fall other than the physical structure of the suit itself. And Cap's shield is supposed to be made of the strongest metal on the planet, so his...

I finally saw this, and despite a week of listening to others gush about it, it actually lived up to nearly all of the praise. Spider-Man was perfect, and his characterization seemed so effortless that it's a wonder it took them this long to get it right. His performance was precisely the right...

Not a fan of Doogie Howser Goes LARPing?

Yeah, Stannis's army had been gutted by the time he marched on the Boltons. I imagine Jon + Wildlings + some other Northern scheming (I'm not at all convinced that the Umbers are on Ramsey's side despite the Rickon offering) would be suitable to crush Ramsey. Also, I thought ToJ was pretty...

Am I the only person who thought WS was "only" pretty good? Maybe I waited too long to watch it - it was a couple weeks after release - and got too worked up over all the hype, but I didn't really think it was all that amazing. I hope and am expecting to like this one a good deal more.

It's not about Davos having developed some sort of instant man crush on Jon, nor is it about him now forgiving Mel of all of her past transgressions. It's about Davos being fully aware that Jon is his only real chance to not only defeat the traitorous assholes who killed his king, but to rally...

Looks like ToJ next week. "I've got a gift for you." Rickon?

X-Men? I don't think quantum mechanics are enough to bridge the gap between Fox and Marvel.

I'd be more shocked if that didn't already exist.

One thread, book spoilers relating to the few plotlines that may still show up on TV in tags.

That's the point. We're shown early on that he is clearly a powerhouse of deadly force abilities, but we eventually come to realize that his fatal flaw is his almost complete lack of control whenever he is emotionally compromised. It's the same reason we see Luke continually fail in ESB...
