Reply to Is there an expression for liking the the experience of watching a character regardless if they are likeable? by Holmbone
Sally on Barry is an example of this. The character is great. She's well written and well acted, but she's a terrible person in a realistic way. I really appreciate and enjoy the character but I don't think I like her.

I love Brett Goldsteins story about getting Harrison Ford for Shrinking.

The Winds of Winter is the best episode of the show for me.

Reply to Is “The Shield” episodic? by saulgoodman673
The shield is for the most part a very episodic show. There typically is some sort of case of the week for most episodes, but like others are saying there is typically an overarching plot throughout the season and most episodes.
I'd compare it to Justified in that sense. But I'll say this, I'm not huge into episodic shows/procedural. But I absolutely love The Shield, it is one of my favorite shows of all time. I do think it gets more serialized in the later seasons but yes overall it is a show about crooked cops and a lot of the episodes are about a case.

>For starters, it would've been another storyline/character that D&D would have had to wrap up before the end and they clearly were struggling with what they already had.
Absolutely not, as the beginning of Lady Stoneheart was the end of Beric Dondarrion.

Oberyn and Tyrion's "I will be your champion" scene is the best in the show.

"'That's not a monster,' I told Cersei. 'That's just a baby.' And she said, 'He killed my mother.... Everyone says he will die soon. I hope they are right. He should not have lived this long.'"

Very few characters are mentioned in both the 4th and 5th books, they take place at the same time in different parts of the world. As of where the books left off, Lady Stoneheart is moments away from executing two of the most important characters in the story, I would say that definitely seems to be going somewhere.

He played a great focused, calm bad guy so well. It’s scary because it makes you kind of like the guy lol. That’s way more interesting than some obnoxious lunatic.

Yeah. I don't really understand why so many people seem to extend their justified anger about the last two season to S5+6 as well.
Yes, both seasons start to show some cracks, but they are not a big step down from the first 4 in my opinion. They also deliver a lot on the build up from previous seasons which to me almost makes up for some of the areas that were not as great.

It's not a real quote. Someone misquoted them as they were live-tweeting an event, and publications ran with it. When the audio turned up with what they actually said, those publications didn't rush to correct themselves. What they actually said:
>“With the fantasy genre on television, tonally it’s very easy [go too] campy. Every scene, you change these two lines and it’s Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” Weiss jokes. “Also, in terms of fantasy exposition, with proper nouns, it’s almost like a game of Jenga, where you’re trying to plow as many of them as possible without the whole thing falling over. In the first pilot, we had one too many and the whole thing fell over. Going forward, we tried to keep that stuff to a minimum, because we didn’t just want to appeal to a fantasy fanbase. We wanted them to love it, and we wanted our parents to love it, and people who play professional football to love it. We wanted to reach a wider audience, and to do that keeping the tone [under control] was very important.”
