Varys is Lawful Neutral, not Neutral Good. Well, it depends on whose side he's on....he's the "Order" to contrast with Baelish's "Chaos" — Varys is capable of viscious "Realpolitik", but he only does things he thinks are necessary for the safety of the realm. He *may* have had some hand in Ned Stark's downfall, but…

They've mentioned they want "a huge special effects battle" at the end of Season 4, which I think we can assume means the Battle of Castle Black.

They have mentioned his "uncles" plural before; and they said they kind of need Damphair and were holding off on casting him until later. I don't think they'll simplify that down to one uncle, just give each less screentime.

Hey, I'm one of the Admins that works for Werthead on the Game of Thrones Wiki (there I'm known as "The Dragon Demands" )

While it is a trope, thankfully they're not going to overplay it: Yewll made it a point to say that they could never get the sleeper agents to work properly, so the project was discontinued - so I don't think we'll be running into this again.

This was a solid episode, I think. Not "stellar", but all around solid. We learn more about Yewll's past, and while it is something of a cliche, the whole "is a robot programmed to think he's human to the point he has fake human memories" cliche is a classic *for a reason*. And Rafe's speech to him at the end,…

"Treacly" - adj. Cloyingly sweet or sentimental.

I thought the glowing spine was just Thompson & Weddle doing a blatant fun shout-out to their old series. I thought it was fun, an obvious shout-out to the fans, and didn't really fixate on it.

The Winter Soldier will win this for Mother Russia!

In which case, much like Frey in Futurama, you'd accidentally trip and fall into the time machine anyway. It *already happened*.

Two words: shine job.

So it goes.

Kagame always was the bomber. To use your analogy....it's as if you went back in time, and discovered that you *always were* John Wilkes Booth.....or rather, that what history records about John Wilkes Booth is a cover story of some kind, when in reality, you're the one that shot Lincoln.

My running theory, albeit kind of vague, is that we're working under "Twelve Monkeys" laws of time travel here: the past is immutable, and it is impossible to alter the timeline. The reason people are interest in time travel, therefore, isn't so much to change the present but to *set up* the present, if that makes…

"It's shaping up to be 'World War Z in Name Only'"— Max Brooks

This free clip re-enacting the Breckinridge Scott "Phalanx" interview is worth more to me than watching this film.

I would pay real money to see a well-acted film in which people just sit down for interviews and act out the "interviews" from the book, interspersed with "found footage" or archival footage from the actual war — sort of like McNamara's "Fog of War" documentary about Vietnam....just about a zombie war. I.e. news…

Spoilers for the ending from a linked review:

Spoilers:

Forget the lieutenant stripes...Yeoman Rand only ever wore red or gold - she's clearly wearing a blue Med/Sci uniform; I'd have guessed Nurse Chapel if I was going to go with someone specific but as her hair doesn't match the color but she put effort into the style and everything I would assume this is not accidental,…

The Kzinti aren't canon! They were only in the cartoon! Error! Error!
