quote:Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was making GBS threads brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water. quote:She was sopping wet when he entered her. “drat you,” she said. “drat you drat you drat you.” He sucked her nipples till she cried out half in pain and half in pleasure. Her oval office became the world. quote:"He found a line and pulled on it, fighting toward the hatch to get himself below out of the storm, but a gust of wind knocked his feet from under him and a second slammed him into the rail and there he clung. Rain lashed at his face, blinding him. His mouth was full of blood again. The ship groaned and growled beneath him like a constipated fat man straining to poo poo." These are quotes from A Song of Ice and Fire. Please don't support George RR Martin by watching Game of Thrones. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Jun 20, 2014 |

FactsAreUseless posted:The really depressing thing is that no, it isn't. George R. R. Martin thinks he has never written anything so fine and so good. A lot of people agree. You can judge writing on a lot of different criteria. What I like a lot about Martin is that, goon-selected lines on making GBS threads notwithstanding, he's not a particularly flowery writer. He's very to the point, communicates characters effectively, and tends to use prose sparingly and thus to grander effect. There's a really cool scene I remember from, I think the second book, where the Lannisters and their entourage are riding into a city, where peasants are starving and near the point of revolt, and it shows off the state of the common people, whom you rarely tend to see, and it has a really cool moment where the people start shouting the names of various kings they want to see win the upcoming war, but soon they all start rioting, shouting for bread and food, and Martin writes this in a way like "And then it wasn't Stannis or Stark, but King Bread who reigned" or something like that and then the peasants revolt. VVVV--As a child who grew up reading Brian Jacques, I have no issue with this. BottledBodhisvata fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Jun 20, 2014 |

I would agree that, in this video at least, Keith was a curmudgeon. Also considering that they said hey these are Game of Thrones spoilers, I don't really see the big deal with them talking about them. Maybe add a notation that says spoilers over at blank? For the people that haven't watched the season yet that wanted to, and are maybe waiting for the Blu ray release. That way they can still watch the LP episode.

PSWII60 posted:I would agree that, in this video at least, Keith was a curmudgeon. There's already a notation when the spoilers start saying they go until the end of the video. I'd assume they cut the video where it was specifically because that's when the spoilers ended (it did seem somewhat abrupt). People are just babies about GoT spoilers and don't even like hearing the word spoiler. I keep seeing previews for future episodes on my Facebook and the loving previews warn about spoilers. That's kind of what previews are.

T.G. Xarbala posted:GoT/ASOIAF being written to be both manipulative and spiteful was one of the biggest reasons I couldn't get into it. It just feels like an incredibly cynical and calculated soap opera with swords and rape and the most punchable boy in the world. On top of that, I never was as interested in stories that focused on dynastic squabbling and court scheming at the expense of drawing the readers/audience in to see the bigger picture and giving events a sense of history. Game of Thrones isn't about nations or states, it's about nobles and royals, and while some people prefer that, I don't. One of the few times Game of Thrones really, really got my attention was when Tyrion re-enacted the Battle of Red Cliffs. And that's mostly because I recognized what it was referencing. And because he gave a good speech, too. Tyrion's the only character anyone can give a drat about, for a number of reasons. One of which is the fact that compared to other sympathetic characters, he doesn't subject the audience to pathos fatigue. Or do something incredibly stupid and/or deplorable. I didn't know Anime Nathan was a goon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us50t5fYo58

FRINGE is a great show. It sounds like you stopped when they were still feeling out the tone and slowly laying groundwork, before the cast gelled and the constant threat of cancellation made them get to the point. The best part of the names of the alternate versions of characters is that they were just B-Olivia, B-Walter, etc in the scripts until they saw fans making up the portmanteaus online and put them in later episodes. poo poo, now I'm spending my whole day watching FRINGE clips.

Maybe I'll get back to it. Not sure what I said in the episode but I watched -almost- the entire first season (but maybe the whole thing). I checked but couldn't really place an exact episode. I'm totally willing to believe there's something to it.

The last two episodes kick the show into an excellent gear that lasts for the following two seasons. It's a pretty clever show with amazing performances all around. Even Pacey, in his way.

Jack Gladney posted:The last two episodes kick the show into an excellent gear that lasts for the following two seasons. This is very true, it's worth getting into. Although even early <i>Fringe</i> was pretty entertaining in terms of how the writers would make up obstacles blocking whatever the characters were trying to do, only to immediately solve them so they could finish the story in one episode. "The only way we could find that information is if we could read the mind of a dead person! ...which we can do. ...only it requires an incredibly rare item. ...which we have in a desk back at the office." I'm paraphrasing, but that basically happened in one episode (unless I dreamed the whole thing, it has been a while).
