ANDURIL?!

Daenerys is one step closer to exterminating the dogs and cats of the Usurper!

I just don't know how I can handle this at all.

Well, in that case I'm baffled why Jane blogs many paragraphs giving out advice on writing....when she has faced heavy criticism for some of her scripts like the BSG ones, that she doesn't write dialogue well in all circumstances.

1 -....you seem to have assumed I don't like Jane Espenson because I myself am a writer. I am not a writer and have no aspirations of being a writer. And earlier in the thread, the first assumption was that I must dislike Jane because she is a woman (I've explained I prefer other writers who are themselves…

God help us all.

"Is this because Espenson is a woman in a genre field? That's the only reason I can think for the vitriol being so insanely over the top."

If its this hard, why was Jane Espenson hand-picked into writing on Battlestar Galactica? Promoted above the likes of Toni Graphia into being a BSG executive producer, then made show-runner on Caprica? Only to then run the show into the ground to the point that she was forced into stepping down? (which,…

so suddenly "chub" is anything above "starving herself to the point that her ribs are accentuated through her skin?"

there's a big hate-dom for Sansa, but given that George RR Martin planned out the books in advance (at least in broad brushstrokes) I increasingly believe that his entire plan was to *intentionally* make Sansa this annoying, and naive, at first, and the idea is that she's supposed to gradually grow and change as the…

The old Dany, Tamizen Merchant, looked like an anorexic stick-figure. Yeah her face was angular enough, but she didn't have enough of the "puppy needlessly kicked around and suffering" look that Emilia Clarke brings.

Never judge a human dead until you see the body, and even then, you can make a mistake.

According to the producers, they added that first scene with Cersei and Jaime you didn't like, because when they test-screened the episode to people who hadn't read the books, a *large* number of them said that by the end of the episode, they didn't realize that Cersei and Jaime are brother and sister. I mean, even…

I don't like Being Human, its not big enough to be a tent-pole series; Alphas sounds like a rip off of Mutant X, Push, Birds of Prey, and X-Men; Battlestar and Caprica went downhill, REALLY downhill....even if Caprica got better once Jane Espenson was gone, it was too late; does this mean Blood & Chrome would be…

While Andrew Ryan is presented as a villain and his Objectivist utopian vision for the city of Rapture is presented as failure, the "real villain" of Bioshock is generally presented as Frank Fontaine; Bioshock wasn’t so much "against Objectivism" as "against extremism". In many ways, I saw Ryan as an almost tragic…

I didn't even like how the basic premise sounded; this is less encouraging.

So you've seen the Renly/Loras "praying" scenes? He shaves his chest hair? From the description you give it seems almost comical; is it meant to be ironic? Or does this just sound weird on paper, but they edited it together well?

I love Doctor Who, but I'm excited for Game of Thrones because it is unprecedented.
