Episodes 3 and 4 really showed me something. I think it's grabbed me now. Seems like it will only get better. Loved the "'S all good, man!" And really looking forward to seeing him battle it out with the big law firm.

Okay, stuff is finally happening. I'm interested now.

I agree that the latest episode was awful. Very disappointing. Hopefully it'll get better.

I envy you reading the books for the first time. The first three are some of my favorite books ever. FWIW, I think the second book drags just a little in the first half, with the exception of the Tyrion chapters, which are entertaining as all get-out from the very beginning. All the other...

I liked the second episode, but the show has yet to grab me. I plan to keep watching and hope it eventually does.

Well, apparently the review embargo for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is over, and it's currently got an 87 on Metacritic, with only 2/21 reviews below an 80/100 (and frankly, the complaints that those two reviewers make are quite silly, for reasons I could easily explain). Although there are...

I'm also way excited for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, which comes out this Friday, February 13th for the Nintendo 3DS. It's the kind of game you can easily play for hundreds of hours without getting bored. I'm sure I'll be playing it to the exclusion of everything else at least until Bloodborne...

IGN just put up this developer walkthrough of the first 18 minutes or so of Bloodborne, due out for PS4 on March 24th. There's a lot of new details in the video on how the gameplay works. It's lookin' awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sbmzXkE6TI

First episode didn't really grab me. It was fine but not great. Although I have to wonder if opinions will change after episode 2. The fact that they're airing back-to-back episodes suggests that they might have known that the first episode alone was underwhelming and that the second episode...

By far my most hated season 1 deviation from the book was that they gave the Hound's backstory to Littlefinger to convey to Sansa. Having it told to her as a piece of gossip stole most of its power, as opposed to the Hound drunkenly relaying it to her himself. Luckily, the scene survives in...

Regarding Illyrio, he was originally played by the guy who was the town crier in Rome (another great HBO series with some definite similarities to GoT). Here's what he looked like in the unaired pilot episode: Still no yellow beard, but somewhat closer to the books, I think. Most of...

I liked it. Most of it was a bit better than the main game, I thought. I had a really tough time beating those three thief boss guys. I played the DLC on playthrough 2 and that fight kicked my ***.

FYI, looks now like Netflix is keeping a lot of their BBC content: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2015/01/16/dont-worry-doctor-who-isnt-disappearing-from-netflix-at-the-end-of-january/

I watched Snow Piercer all the way through and came out underwhelmed. It just never grabbed me.

I remember thinking that Brent Sexton was pretty amazing in that show. And both the mains were good.

It was AMC for the first three seasons, then they cancelled it and Netflix picked it up for a final half-season (six episodes).

I was surprised when the murder didn't get solved at the end of season one... I think a lot of people were. But after that initial "WTF? I thought this case was going to end now," I enjoyed the first two seasons. Pretty compelling stuff. Very dark -- not just in tone, but literally the color...

And likewise in closing, I would ask you to consider that though there are many examples of irrational religious beliefs, there are also religious beliefs that are simply non-rational, i.e. not based on or subject to reason. E.g. panexperientialism versus non-panexperientialism can't be...

Well, I don't think we can take this too much further. We both agree that blind faith is bad, but you are saying that faith in "absolute truths" is a necessary aspect to religion, while I do not. You think I'm conflating concepts and defining "religion" too broadly, while I think you're...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zirehYtoxoI It's all great, but watch at least from 13mins to 17mins for a high-energy montage of some of the craziest stuff.
