    I'm one of the Administrators over on the Game of Thrones Wiki (for the TV show; hardcore book fans knew there would inevitably be a TV-only wiki so we took over from the ground level, rather than competing with Westeros.org we interlink with it). Over there I'm known as "The Dragon Demands"

    Anyway, we made up a giant

    There simply wasn't a major superhero movie out this summer (other than Man of Steel).

    The irony with the 300 sequel is....real-life actually provided a clear sequel: what were the Athenians doing? How did the other Greeks ultimately turn back the Persians?

    All he's doing is rehashing things he already said about the Miniseries in 2003...ten years ago. How about "wow, my creative process is OPENLY to make it up as I go along, like Jazz!"

    Everyone needed to put annotations DIRECTLY OVER HIS FACE so we can't see the artwork?

    Once again, Max Brooks says what we're all thinking, and in an even-handed way.

    Ghidorah was always his arch-enemy. Or was that Mecha-Godzilla? The modern 1990's films went EXTREME and made Mecha-Ghidorah, which was okay I guess, but it's just not the same.

    The attack that devastated Earth was the First Invasion.

    "And some of them, some of them... forget me. I supposed in the end...they break my heart."

    Ron Moore - shockingly, openly - revealed in the 2009 Paley Center panel right after the BSG finale that his "creative process" is to NEVER plan anything out, to throw a lot of clues out....which even Ron doesn't know the meaning of. He said it's "like jazz", free-form improvization. Then just hope to retroactively

    "“There will be clues, and they will pay off,” adds showrunner Steven Maeda. “Our goal is to unpack things deliberately and hide things and make you go ‘wait, did that mean something?’ and hopefully go back and rewatch it when we get to a big reveal to see what was really going on.”

    Ever since basically the writer's strike of 07-08, the channel has been just coasting along. I call it the "Eureka era" because it coincides with the point, after BSG season 3 premiered (and sucked, and ratings dropped like a stone) that they sort of shifted focus to Eureka and other dirt-cheap, Earth-bound projects

    This looks nothing like the Cylon Baseships on either the Original or Re-Imagines Series.
    EDIT: apparently it's based on concept art from which original series which he preferred to the final design. Fair enough.

    Question: is Annalee's chain-tattoo around her wrist a reference to BioShock?

    Ron Moore in 1988....so I could tell him to go home and get his shine box, and stay a college drop-out working as the front-desk clerk at a veterinarian's office.

    Someone else replied to my post yesterday and thus the thread came up in my feed today.

    I dress up in a V costume and run panels at comic book conventions in it, mostly anime and comic book stuff. Sort of my meta-commentary on how for all intents and purposes our online screenames and avatars have *become* our social masks. More simply, I started using a V screename when the movie came out (though I

    I don't personally blame Powell, as even Powell got duped into doing that performance; at least Powell subsequently and vocally complained to the press, in later years, that he was lied to and felt utterly used. I mean think about it; what's more effective than a liar trying to convince a crowd that lies are the

    Just because she called Harry Osborn "the Green Goblin" in an off-the-cuff remark doesn't necessarily mean he will become "The Green Goblin" within the second film; they might be setting up the third film.
