What's with the Pauls?

Once upon a time there was a social platform called Vine where you could make short videos to share to your followers or the world at large. Key word - short. We're talking a couple of seconds here.




There are some EXCELLENT Viners - Thomas Sanders for example is just amazing and everyone should obsessively watch him at all times. Well, no, the dude deserves his time off let's not go nuts.
Point is - he was charming, funny, and obviously put a lot of effort into his short skits, even the ones that were obviously not very expensive to do.

This platform also gave rise to two brothers by the name of Paul. Again - usually quite funny and agreeable in small doses.

However - Vine somehow died in this world that seemingly favours short and brief interactions that can be used to glorify yourself and reach a wide audience such as what Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram can provide.

Thus, many Viners were left socially homeless and made the transition to other mediums like YouTube. Well, if you're lucky. Otherwise sometimes they somehow get a lot more attention than they deserve. 

Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul are two examples of this. They are EVERYWHERE. They are on TV shows. They are making music videos (in the loosest sense possible), they are teaming up with other Viners or YouTubers that no one particularly cares about and they keep getting into the news either for their terrible behaviour, terrible music or the forced drama shoved down our throats with their ridiculous reaction/retort videos.

Sweet mercy, why is this? Who.. apart from the brothers themselves.. actually care about this?

Disney child stars have a way of being forced into our way of life - but in this technological day and age it's never been more infuriating. Now everything is documented.
Before it was Britney and Christina are in the Mickey Mouse club.

Game of Thrones S7 Ep4


In contrast to last episode, this one seemed like it was all battlefield drama. In reality, the fight only took about ten minutes but it felt longer.



It was also the shortest episode this season. Which confuses me. How can one episode not be the same length as the rest? Finales are usually longer but we're only at episode four!

So far I've been enjoying this season even though every episode is a painful reminder that I've forgotten some bit character or a minor plot set-up from a previous season.

I've also forgotten most of the non-main character's names.

In my defence, a lot of them do have silly fantasy names and a lot of them do sound a lot.

As always... spoilers.
