Little freaky, little creepy, very weird
I also can’t believe that Ted Cruz said, “Whether you are gay or straight, you should be able to live according to your own conscience.”
Like… since when did you believe that, dude? I mean, good on ya but you probably should have said that back when it could have garnered you some votes.
I don’t like him and I disagree with A LOT of what he says but it’s hard not to wish it was him winning the nomination instead of Trump.

How Game of Thrones fans just witnessed an unprecedented shift in how stories are told across media:
“Game of Thrones just dealt a major blow to one of my least favorite nerd arguments: that the book is better than its adaptation. I think two things are chiefly driving this belief: one, the book comes first, making it the primary text; any other medium must therefore be a form of derivative reboot. Two, we assume the author had full creative control over the book, and an adaptation’s writers and director merely came along later to dilute the author’s genius.”
“[…] The TV show passed up Martin’s slow-running source material this season, and the most rabid fans of the A Song of Ice and Fire universe no longer have a bible to pore over while constructing their elaborate fan theories. Unless Martin starts putting out new books at an impossible (for him) rate, the show is definitely going to end first. Once, the book came first. Now, the TV show is the original text. To put it in Machiavellian terms, the balance of power has permanently shifted.”
Hold the Door: Game of Thrones and the New Frontier of Storytelling
See this is an interesting idea but I entirely disagree insofar as the author in this case provided the plot direction for the show. Whereas in many situations a book is allowed to develop at an established pace according to the needs of the plot, and the show (or film) hastily tried to assemble itself- here we have a story that is taking an unnecessarily long time to develop as a book and a very scheduled time to develop as a show. It is precisely because Game of Thrones the show has outpaced it’s source book and must move so carefully to develop it’s story that it is able to surpass it’s origin work. This is not the case for many shows who abandon the completed formula of a book series in favor of a method of story delivery which would allow for optimal box office results.
