HBO: Game of Thrones
Is this season just 10 like the last? I thought I read somewhere that the next or future seasons would be 12 episodes? It doesn't matter to me either way but just curious. I suppose for consistency's sake they should keep it at 10.... The finale will be awesome....depending on what decisions they make regarding several important scenes. I hope they pack them all in as it should be but I won't be surprised if they spread them out randomly. They've already shown their incompetence with the rape scene in the church. Excited for Littlefinger and Sansa next week....Lysa is too funny..

Lol at Lily Allen. That's too funny and so true. Show Asha is definitely less pretty than Book Asha and way too sentimental. Especially for Iron Born. Rewatching the rescue attempt sequence and it's even more weird the second time around. So Asha fled because of ramsays rabid dogs? Is that what we're supposed to believe? The fighting itself was so chaotic and random. Just pointless all around and it's not like anyone really thought she'd succeed. Looking forward to the Trial by Combat and other pivotal scenes but I'm hoping that by the end they'll have caught up to the books. At that point I'll know they're just pulling it out of their butts then and not be offended by it

LOL....true I should give Kristen credit for going toe to toe with Aviva. Cuz I doubt Cindy would have even tried. Carole was pretty hilarious this last episode and Sonja is just a bag of nutty. One minute I love her. The next she's so embarrassing to watch as she flirts with a boy who's 20 years old...SMDH

Kristen was super pathetic and beyond annoying. Ramona made her argument very well and also apologized for her reaction. But the bottom line is she told the b*tch not to throw water at her hair. Kristen did. They were out in the middle of a lake. Ramona had the glass in her hands and on instinct threw it right back at the person she thought threw something at her. For every action there's going to be a reaction. What I didn't like was Ramona plotting to escape the very next day. That was a cowardly move on her part and I did lose some respect for her then. And her little meltdown in the woods seemed genuine to me but given all that happened before and how she used it to escape the rest of the trip it does make me wonder.... Looks like LuMann is pulling a Yolanda the Idiot move next week and trying to ambush Ramona. But whatevs it doesn't look like Ramona is going to take it lying down. LMAO at Kristen and her husband (whos name I can't even remember) fighting about dinner on the table. This lady is even worst than Cindy.

A long history? New York has been on air for what 5/6 seasons? How is that much longer than Atlanta? 2 years for Kenya vs 5/6 years for Ramona? Please...you can't have it both ways

You post that after that lengthy essay on Nene and yet you attack Ramona as trash based of her antics on NY. double standard much?

I say ADD Phaedra and keep crazy Kenya and you have the recipe for even better ratings than this previous season. I think it would be INCREDIBLE to see.

I'm literally worried that Karlie is going insane......her scenes are so hilarious but at the same its quite sad to see her act so desperate and needy for a man. Yes Young Joc is semi cute (he does need to work on that body) but he's not the be all end all Karlie. Get it together gurl! Wow at Benzino being the voice of reason in this Kirk/Rasheeda bs. And I never believed that Kirk wasn't the father. Rasheeda is too dumb to realize that there are billions of men, both young and old, that are hotter than Kirk will ever be and more worthy of her attention.

Lol at the Persecution of Ramona above.....girl was absolutely justified in throwing the ish at Kristin. The whole trip looked utterly boring and I don't blame Ramona for moving to a better event. Luanna might as well have been a housewife considering all the airtime she's getting. But this is good cuz she doesn't get paid and remains irrelevant while still stirring the pot.

HOLD UP....please don't tell me Erica is paying for this fool's tab at the bowling alley! That guy must not have any self respect and then Erica just dogged him out on national tv about not getting that many jobs....priceless. Scrappy is so pathetic but I'm glad he laughed right in Milk Dud's face about the "emotionally scarred" bit. What a freaking joke. Why is this idiot on my screen and why is Rasheeda still on this show?

The Politics Thread
I was very worried for Pryor (esp after the media and especially Morning Joe tried to make him seem elitist for calling out Tom Cotton on his whole military service giving him a sense of entitlement to the Senate gaffe). However I think Pryor is doing everything he can possibly do to show voters out there that he's not some random stranger from Washington DC who just happens to be their Senator. He actually knows them and is working hard to earn their votes again which makes all the difference in the world.

HBO: Game of Thrones
How are my posts spoiling anything? I watch the episode and I post. I don't say anything about the future unless another person has talked about it. And just like 90% of your posts are just gushing about how amazing the show is and the writing team is for writing nothing but sex, violence, and random plots that go no where and have no rhyme or reason just so they can appeal to the lowest common denominator of viewers.

You can be hostile all you want but I'm not going to stop stating my opinion or pointing out differences so long as its not breaking the rules. Plus I find it interesting to compare the two. Finally if you don't like my posts on the topic then simply don't read them. But getting mad because I dislike the show and think the writers are beyond stupid and putting out sh*t for the most part when it comes to the plot isn't going to drive me away. More to the point where have I ever said that I contacted them to demand that they change things? If I really thought I had that power I would have exercised it beginning at the end of season 2. But I know I don't have that power. Nor do I have the time or energy to waste on what I know would be a fruitless effort. So NO I haven't started a Change.com petition to remove the writers and change the story to more align with the books. Because that's just dumb. However I can point out when they have effed up and display it whether or not u want to know. Lastly I haven't said I'm "shocked" by changes. Words matter....I'm not surprised or shocked. Its just disappointing and sad in a way. But overall I find it frustrating as I've said plenty of times before....

Who is Porsha? She's even less relevant than Kenya...... If Miss Lies about Everything had beat Nene or Kandi or Phaedra then we can talk bout this...

Appreciate that. I know it's fun to gang up on the lone book fan but I just think it's a valid to point out what is different between the two even if you don't care. I care and that's enough for me....

HBO: Game of Thrones
No one's expecting them to be 100% to the book but glaring things like that completely destroy how good the story is in the books IMO. And its utterly unnecessary. So now we have to refer to them as Book X and Show X? Book Stannis vs Show Stannis? Its ridiculous but whatever. The bottom line is that Shae on the shows is a dumb figure who doesn't deserve that much screen time or frankly any attention at all given how minor a role she plays in the books and her ultimate betrayal of Tyrion. And the way the writers crafted her on the show went entirely against the grain of the books which was my only point.

The Politics Thread
I don't know if that's sarcasm or a genuine question but there are several independent and even a very small group of Democratic leaning pollsters who are showing Dems behind in several key races. I think Dems have giving up any chance of winning the West Virginia and South Dakota Senate races. Montana is looking increasingly tough for the Walsh who was appointed by the Dem governor to take over for Baucus. Lastly, Colorado is also going to be a very tough fight for Mark Udall. That being said there are good signs in the South and so I do think Pryor and Kagan might eke out a victory. I'm convinced Allison Lundergan-Grimes will also pull a shocking upset of Mitch McConnell and I'm starting to get hopeful about Michelle Nunn's chances in Georgia to be honest. DRW50 what do you think of all this Jeb Bush chatter on Politico's homepage? I don't know if this is them trying to generate buzz and further entice him or his donors in getting behind a run for the Presidency. But I'm completely fascinated by the family dynamics at play. The one article on who's for and who's against was definitely interesting. Personally I think he would pose a huge challenge to Hillary Clinton but at the same time I do wonder if the Bush fatigue and the Bush name itself would be a big weight on him.

Yeah that Theon/Ramsay scene was one step away from becoming gay fantasy porn or something. They have way too good chemistry.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Its funny how she's both the worst and best thing to happen to this show since Nene came along....I truly dislike her now intensely and yet without her I think the show would be utterly boring...in a weird way she and Nene need each other IMO. And I do think she was going from bank to bank to get a baby daddy. She's had no man now for how many years? She's old and only getting older as another poster mentioned last season (I think Cheap but if not forgive me). She's getting desperate and it shows. Her face told the entire story throughout Part 3 of the reunion. She was utterly wrecked by Phaedra and Nene continued the destruction throughout beginning with exposing just how broke the dumb attention whore is. Aside from the Apollo mess and this Marlo/Nene situation all Kenya was doing was twerking around her house on that stupid piano and getting evicted. Hardly riveting television....

But of course Kenya had plenty of time between the reunion and that interview with Andy to come up with talking points and how she could deflect Phaedra's attack. Kenya is only effective when she's had time to think and come up with preplanned attacks. Otherwise she's dumber than even Porsha and has no way to defend herself.

HBO: Game of Thrones
She was a chameleon that's for sure...the problem with we saw today is that it's hard to decipher what intentions they wanted us to imply from that scene. Overall though I do think that was the first time we've seen book Shae. She's a ruthless, cold hearted b*tch who didn't give a flying fig about Tyrion and really only pretended to all this time. On top of that Tyrion KNEW all this time. Again not to b*tch about the books but in the books you know that Tyrion is well aware of the fact that Shae is a whore. That she couldn't possibly love him. He keeps trying to tell himself that over and over again but doesn't do what's necessary to get rid of her. Until its too late.... The Tywin/Jaime scene was also weird....and seemed so random. I understand Tywin's motives and why he would so readily agree to it but I find it weird that Jaime would naively agree to it.

HBO: Game of Thrones
The ending was pretty powerful but felt rushed. They should have escorted Shae out before that amazing scene by Peter Dinklage. I don't understand why they feel the need to portray him as this wounded animal and had him plead "Shae....please don't". It would have been just as effective to have him sit their silent and in pain. The Shae scene was perfect overall. The total humiliation of Tyrion was exactly how it came across in the books aside from the part I mentioned above.

The Politics Thread
With NC being my original state if I had to pick one vulnerable Dem and only one Dem that woulds survive this November it would be Kay Hagan....voted for her in 2008 and I have a feeling that she's a fighter and will ultimately prevail. However it will be a hard battle despite this guys extreme views and his legislative agenda...

I really hope Lisa doesn't leave but I'll understand if she does....Carlton gone is official!? If so YESSS...now get rid of the Idiot Yolanda and I'll be so happy.
