    I don't like them talking about being old. I hope they never retire.

    What do you mean?

    Here's how it goes:

    I hope they do this justice.

    So it goes.

    I'd have been more annoyed about the Psychic Paper as a ripoff except that they played it fairly well, and part of Constantine's shtick is that he's a "magician" of sorts, so introducing it as literally a playing card trick was the way to go.

    Why do we need drone-carriers to fight against multiple insurgencies utilizing asymmetric guerrilla warfare tactics, who by and large don't have airplanes or *radar*? Or *tanks* in large numbers? We're fighting against a lightly armed insurgency...why do we need *that* much tankbuster capability? What we *need* is

    The Scoutmaster. Wrong on many levels.

    While outright saying the moon landings were faked is impossible (Eleventh Doctor anyone?)...that's not really Nolan's point. It's satire. He's making fun of those "corrected" science books coming out of Texas which outright state "Global Warming is a Myth" because it's what they choose to believe, rather than what

    Which one is the image at the top of the article from?

    War...war never changes...

    Is Heisenberg in danger?

    Yes, here we have an artist's rendering of Fingon saving Maedhros.

    It's a funny story. Well, it's not so much "funny"...as it is "long".

    Long story short: in the Silmarillion, Sauron was the lieutenant to the first dark lord, Morgoth. His dark empire was located in the far north, and called Angband. It's capital was sort of the uber-version of Mount Doom, a giant triple-peaked volcano called Thangorodrim.

    The joke of the costume is

    Ugh...sexy Thangorodrim....for the rare girl who actually read the Silmarillion. But such a thing is unfortunately as rare as a unicorn.

    That sort of sums it up best: more Burton in tone than Nolan. I wouldn't call Burton "cartoony" but "lyrical"...like a nightmare or a folk legend. It's not necessarily "100% realism" (which Nolan strove for, in a good way) NOR is it "campy Adam West, Schumacher" levels of awful cartoony camp. Burton at least

    I also enjoyed the "Venom" setup.

    I'm the new head Admin on Game of Thrones Wiki: while I wouldn't mind Tyrion actually meeting Daenerys (he's in Meereen in the pit but she doesn't speak to him face to face just yet in the books)....I would point out that this might just be Dinklage sitting in the royal pavilion during an off-take. Notice that

    A board with a nail in it!
