Partially. I mean, the prick-faced little shit sucked the life out of every scene he was ever in. But there's another factor you've got to bear in mind. Ollie was growing fast. I mean, how long was Jon dead? A day or two? And Ollie is already half a head taller when Jon wakes up? A young mutineer is one thing. But a young mutinner who's going to be the size of Wun-Wun soon is just terifying.

Whoever was left there dusting the place probably dove into the sea and starting swimmimg like hell as soon as they saw three giant dragons. Maybe while they're in the water they'll meet Gendry.

People Arya should kill and impersonate: 1. Cersei Lannister. Then she could ask FrankenMountain to take off his armor for some sexytime. Then she could kill him. 2. FrankenMountain. Apparently putting his face on would turn her into a seven foot tall monster that owns a full suit of plate armor. 3. Littlefinger. LF has so many deals going on in so many sectors, she could use his face to go anywhere. Plus, I hate Littlefinger. 4. Urine Greyjoy. Because somebody has got to make him knock off those dime store Jack Sparow impersonations. 5. Old Man Tarly. Not that she has any reason to even meet him. But I still just think he's a dick. But, actually, I'm wondering if we might get another Arya/Hound teamup. How far apart are they, geographically?

About those nutrient bars that the woman said she couldn't eat... anybody else wondering if the strigoi are making Soylent Green?

This was wonderful. I really didn't enjoy seasons 5 and 6 as much as I did the earlier ones. Oh, I still wanted to see how it ended, and there were still great moments intermingled with moments that were... less great, but it had drifted from like an A plus to an A minus or B plus. This one, however, was the same show that I fell in love with. I have very high hopes for the rest of the season. Although I am curious as hell about how they kept those enormous dragons fed while flying across the ocean.

Arthur needs to keep dressing up in silly costumes. He is way more fun that way.

Maybe this marks me as a horribly subversive heathen, but I like that they didn't treat a very early abortion as such a big deal that you had to stop making jokes or bickering about donuts.

They've actually reached a point where I like everybody.

Wolf Girl confuses me. Since when do wolves wear heavy eyeliner, long black wigs and fishnet stockings? And... an additional layer of fur, in SoCal? The other silly personae are fine, because they're fake. But if that one is real, it bugs me a little. It also bugs me how much I'm warming up to Maron's character. As a standup comedian he's fucking awful, but this role is a perfect fit for him.

Yay! This one actually felt like a comedy! I hope the new zany tone sticks.

Way better than the pilot. They actually lampshaded the fact that Cherry's larger role was turning them into an ensemble show, and as an ensemble show this does work. If it was still all "Oh, poor, poor Ruth," I would be done with it.

I don't like Ruth. She's supposed to be all plucky and sympathetic, but... why? Because she can't pay her bills? So get a job! Other actors wait tables or whatever until they make it big. I see a lot of things happening to her that make her sympathetic, but no more so than anybody else. She wants an acting gig? Well so do all the other applicants. On "Community" there was a funny joke about Brie's character not knowing who Sam and Diane were. Now she's playing Diane, albeit a very second-rate not-particularly-funny Diane. Actually, scratch that. At least Diane was willing to lower herself enough to work a peasant job. I'm gonna try one more episode to see if it gets better, but I have a bad feeling that this is going to continue the long tradition of Netflix shows that I can not sit through a season of.

This show really came into its own just in time to be cancelled. The early episodes were something I wanted to like, but the later ones were just inherantly fun!

I'm going to try really, really hard to say something nice about Zack. Uh...... well... I suppose it's possible that... no, never mind... um... hey! I've got one. At least we didn't have to watch him have sex with Spider Girl. Yes, this is how low the bar actually is for that kid. You know why all the vampires worship him, don't you? It's because he doesn't even have a stinger yet and he still sucks more than all of them combined.

Well, I guess if you're deciding who to eat, the people named "Rib Bone" and "Fat Elvis" are the most obvious targets. And Rib Bone doesn't die so easily. He kind of reminds me of Sandor Clegane. Even though the dog makes him more sympathetic to me, I'm not completely sure how much plot armor it gives. This is easily the kind of show that would have a puppy killed by a falling piano or something, just to be unexpected.

I'd actually been toying with the idea that Slink might turn out to be Satan. Nope. He's just another cog in the big evil corporate machine. The problem with Rib Bone adopting Caligula is that now I have to care what happens to him. There isn't enough expendable competition any more. I mean, Fat Elvis is already dead, The Gentleman and The Scholar are obviously meant to stick around as recurring characters, so... who the hell is left? Just Clown Dick? Oh, I know perfectly well we'll see carnage aplenty among non racers. But I feel like the race itself should have a higher death toll. Is that wrong?

This is some truly silly fun. I can't wait for the next ep.

Based on the trailer, the quality of this show could be... anything. Being made by the people behind "Orange is the New Black" worries me, because OitNB is a mindnumbingly dull piece of over rated crap. As are most Netflix series. But, if Allison Brie is in, so am I.

I think that the virus has mutated. One of the story suggestions made at the newspaper meeting was about a new SARS-like virus being discovered locally. Perhaps there is a new form of slower-manifesting zombi-ism that no longer requires the new host to receive direct insertion of the established host's cellular material. It could be caused by any of a zillion things, most of which would not necessarily be revealed to us yet, but if I have to place a bet I'm going to say that Ravi's experiments have altered the disease. Which means that Major and/or Blane might be Patient Zero for the new strain. Or... FG might be continuing Ravi's experiments, using the stolen cure samples. But, either way, I don't think that bit about the new virus was a throwaway line.

This is a place to share all of your loving thoughts about Dumpster Diva and The Garbage Pail Kids. I've got them on my mind again after watching the animated version of "The Dark Knight Returns," because there's a gang in it called The Mutants that seem to have inspired them. The Mutants like to hold their meetings in a trash dump, you can only win their respect by kicking ass in front of them, and they have their own stupid pidgin dialect, which they sometimes forget to use because it's obviously just an affectation. Only the wardrobe and hairstyles are different. But of course they have to be. If Diva had a shaved head, she wouldn't be able to say "Me like bangs. Bang Rick now, yes?"

I don't know what Mr. Bosss is going to be angrier about: Blane still being alive, or not being invited to the Dungeons and Dragons game.

All the problems we have with lead could have been avoided if the writers had simply replaced the word "lead" with word "daxomite." And called the people themselves Daxomians or something. OK, sure, daxomite wouldn't be common enough to make bullets out of, but since they're not meant to be quite as powerful as Kryptonians anyway you could still make it so that things that would be very, very fatal to a human be a painful inconvenience to them. Say, a bullet to the midsection could knock the wind out of them. Or a shotgun blast to the face would leave them dazed and unable to open their eyes for a minute. Heavy artillery might even kill them. It could have worked, because anybody who watches a show like this one understands that there's going to have to be a lot of suspension of disbelief. But... spreading lead through the earth's atmosphere instantaneously means blasting out lead particles very, very quickly. I don't care how tiny those particles are, there should be deaths, injuries, and broken windows all over the city from that.

Here's my thoughts on the Superfight. I tried, I really did, to fanwank something along the lines of "A Kryptonian on Earth has the strength of a human their size and build, plus, say, one million horsepower or whatever." So the fact that Clark was built stronger than Kara would mean so little as to be meaningless. I can even stretch it to assuming that it's normal for men to grow larger than women, and they tend, all things being equal, to grow more upper-body muscle, so the difference could be written off as simply signs of normal health.. except that this is a ridiculously muscular Superman. Kara looks like a healthy young woman who exercises a few times a week. Clark looks like a bodybuilder who spends four hours at a time lifting huge, huge weights. Frequently. And other krytponian males that we've seen did not look like that. So he's obviously doing some kind of extreme strength-building. What does he lift? Aircraft carriers? The best I can offer as an explanation is that 'stronger" simply meant "able to win." Kara has spent an indeterminate amount of time, with her powers turned off, sparring with Alex and Jonn. Clark's been doing a lot of strength training, but hasn't really had much in the way of fighting practice, because he has traditionally distrusted the DEO but in the outside world he really has nobody to train with. He generally wins by having a Kryptonian ability that his opponent is entirely lacking in. Kara, meanwhile, is taught to not always expect to be the superest fighter in the room. Although none of that explains how later on Queen Lois was able to put up such a fight. Except that she had kryptonite. Except that kryptonite doesn't really matter that much anyway! WTF? And speaking of kryptonite complaints, let me see if I understand this one. Silver kryptonite causes Kryptonians to see their cousin as their most feared enemy. Not anybody else in the room. They don't see whole city full of General Zods or anything. Nope. It just makes them see their cousin that way. Holy oddly specific radiation effects, Batm.. um, Supergirl! Is there also a mauve kryptonite that causes left-handed Kryptonians with hats on to be allergic to small brown dogs on the third Wednesday of the month? Or a fuschia kryptonite that makes them fart twice whenever a baseball team scores?

I want to see that crappy little spaceship every week. It looks like an albino Siamese fighting fish had sex with a shoe! I love it! Not quite sure why flying away in that thing was supposed to keep the air from killing Monorail, though. "The atmosphere is now toxic! I know! I'll fill this giant fishy-shoe with toxic air and fly into space with it! Where I will... continue breathing the same exact toxic air..." I'm gonna guess Supergirl didn't choose that guy for his intellect.
