    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    People have already asked, but really, how did he seem perfect? I'm a bit fascinated that you all missed seeing any flags of this guy being a loser. When a friend of yours is in a relationship, isn't it pretty natural to ask what the person does for a living? If he didn't have a GED and he...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If after riding on a horse for 18 hours straight and bleeding from the thighs and anus, she then preceded to do that for 30 minutes while you tried to stop her, I think you might have a right to file charges.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Her marriage night was consensual (kinda). The nights after were not. She was forced to have sex with Drogo night after night, even after she was badly hurt and bleeding from riding a horse for weeks straight after having never ridden one.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    GRRM has stated multiple times that he wanted to turn Theon into someone that we root for and I'm sure the show wanted to do that also. The problem with that is that its hard to root for a character who absolutely won't stand up for themselves. I really don't see how Theon redeems himself at...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Of course they are going to end in the same way. It has been known for quite a while that Benioff and Weiss know the ending. Things have changed, side characters have dropped, but they know the major character deaths. They aren't going to kill Dany off in the show if she lives in the books and...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This is probably the high point of Euron's fleet though. We knew they were going to delay Dany's overwhelming power at least for a bit, we just didn't expect the whole Euron deus ex machina. What is his fleet going to do now? They have the Unsullied surrounded but we know they will all starve...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I didn't like how Euron wasn't at all in the first 3 books, then comes out of nowhere in the 4th book and seems to have a pivotal part. It felt to me a bit like GRRM padding, he wanted to add a Dorne plot and it felt a bit forced to me. Man is it way worse in the show atm. Euron's teleporting...

    Yep. The Dany hate bandwagon is kind of stupid, she did great this episode.

    Cersei is fucking incredible on the show. If you think Lena Headey is doing a bad job, you are off your rocker. The only possible complaint is that she is different from her book character really.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    How exactly was his advice shit? Tyrion's advice was to avoid falling into the narrative that their enemies are trying to push. Cersei and Jaime both pushed that all the houses had to ignore how horrible the Lannisters were because they at least weren't killers and crazy dothraki's.

    Killed off sandsnakes, Tyrion is set up to take Castle Crag, Jorah got flayed and got to see Missendei tits. Not bad.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    So they are claiming that this will be a more serious take on Trek, with more conflict amongst the crew and more multi-episode storylines. Will be interesting to see if it pans out. Like a lot of the cast. This vs Orville will be interesting to see. Hopefully at least one of them is good.

    There is never going to be a policy of stopping people from posting anything that is aired after the episode. Read the title of the thread and get over it. If you are that picky, you should just stay away from the internet for the next 7 weeks.

    Thank god we have some sanity now. @Tuco always trying to split the show into multiple threads was flat retarded.

    American Gods

    Or they are just taking time to tell a story and not worrying about how long it takes them to do it. Last week's episode was largely from the book. I expected that this story would be quickly glossed over in 5 to 10 minutes. Instead they spent a whole episode on it, which is what I hope they do...

    American Gods

    Yeah, I agree. Plenty of shows go out of their way to give you action and plot movement every episode. I'm enjoying this slow burn as we learn about the characters and their backstory. American Gods is about the characters, not about the end climactic fight.

    Jesus fuck are you kidding me? "Privileged", the whole concept of it starts by asking people to make value judgements based on a persons skin color. Black? Good race. White, evil race. Jew, evil race. Palestinian, good race. Play all the word games you want, that shit is vile and a gigantic step...

    The main argument from the people that were upset about the politican leanings of the show wasn't that there was a political leaning, but that it was ridiculously heavy-handed and eye-roll inducing. Not that it had a political slant by itself.

    So you came into this thread to post your own views on the politics of the show but you really dont want anyone to argue with you about it. If you don't want people to engage you on specific topics, I suggest that rather than putting people on ignore that want to engage you, you just not...

    Very true. It also was about immigration. It isn't one or the other. Fuck, it isn't like Quaid and I are Sadris level anti-immigration. Not by a long stretch. The show just has that slant. Doesn't make it bad or good. It just is.

    American Gods

    The fucking author has stated the political slant of the book. The makers of the show have stated in interviews the show is politically slanted. Review after review, right and left, have stated the slant. That doesn't make the show bad or good. It just is that way. Stop embarrassing yourself...

    American Gods

    The book was political, at least as far as immigration goes. Gaiman also tends to throw in the typical euro view that the midwest is basically Deliverance in some of his writings. Given that, it is no shock at all that the show has a very strong pro-immigration stance. It isn't just people here...

    I didn't say it shouldn't be political. I'm saying it obviously fucking is. That yes, a few people in this thread were over the top complaining about it, but saying it wasn't is fucking moronic.

    I love this show, but lets get fucking real here. The show creators have stated they are making it political. Almost every review of the show has mentioned its overt politics. If you cant see it, you are the one with the problem.

    Several times now people that have wanted to no longer be mods have decided to go out with a bang by breaking the rules of conduct. The only way to stop that kind of crap followed by a lolvictorylap is to start instituting bans for moderator abuse. I find it hard to believe that anyone that...

    If someone dislikes the game, fine, hell I dislike a lot of it. That would be a difference of opinion. However, that isn't what people were discussing the last two pages as far as trolling goes. Accusing everyone that even simply likes parts of the game a shill (Khorum) or pondering whether we...

    I've never claimed ME3 was a perfect game, but yes I think it was a great game outside of the ending. Kai Lang was dumb, didn't remotely ruin the game.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Agreed pretty much. Given the history of this forum, it was clear before the game came out that it was going to get panned here regardless of the quality. It coming out in a completely substandard state put the trolls into a frenzy.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I say the game was a big dropoff from ME2 and ME3. That it feels heavily rushed and lacks polish. That while the animation isn't all extreme like the endlessly played clips, that the animations ARE bad. That one of the biggest selling points of the previous games, the bonding with your...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Game is not a complete disaster like many are saying in this thread, but it most definitely is a big dropoff from 2 and 3 so far for me. It feels like an alpha build tbh, just reeks of being heavily rushed and is just lacking any kind of polish. While the clips everyone is sharing of the...
