Who else here thinks Thanos in Endgame got disrespected by the writers? In many ways, Thanos feels like a different character than the one in Infinity War.

The episodes are slow paced in S8. Basically nothing had in the first 2 episodes and there are only 6 episodes in total. I doubt we'll get to see the White Walkers reach King's Landing.

One thing I still have trouble wrapping my head around this episode is the fact that it started off with a mystery which involved a kid getting burned to his death. That felt too gorey for me. It felt out of place. It didn't look like the initial mystery of the missing kid was anything other than plot device so I saw no need for Mofatiss to make it so dark.

This video does a good job of explaining what kind writer Moffat is based off how he writes Sherlock and Doctor Who:

Not sure where to put this but this is a great video essay on how Sherlock uses its editing to aid its visual storytelling:

So this guy claims that Sherlock isn't really a mystery series and says that Harry Potter is: Do any of you agree with him? Personally I think the first few episodes were mystery stories but starting from The Reichenbach Fall, the series started devolving into what we have in The Final Problem which is barely a mystery in my eyes.

According to my friend's wife, some women (not all) have an innate desire to be admired for their beauty, especially by men. It helps them build self-confidence.

I hope this series is good though. I need a good mystery series to watch because nobody knows how long it will take for another Sherlock season to premiere.

Is this game still going? K please.

Wait so it isn't a joke?

At 18:30 this video starts explaining one of the main flaws of Game of Thrones' writing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iePTjdDXslM#t=18m30s I generally agree with what this guy is saying but I believe that his criticisms apply more to the TV show than the books. I also believe Martin has an ending planned that he hopes he can write before he dies.

You're not Democrat? Didn't you support Hilary last year?

This is what Trump tweeted about the hurricane:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-trump-charlottesville-violence-20170812-story.html Trump blames 'many sides' for the for the violence in Charlottesville protests. I wonder if these 'many sides' include the neo-nazis?
