If memory serves, Elio and Linda - owners of Westeros.org itself - live in Stockholm. Well, Elio is a Cuban-American army brat who moved around a lot, Linda is from Sweden, eventually Elio moved and they live there now. Linda even handles the Swedish translation for the Game of Thrones releases there.
I thought the Lottery was that show where the winner gets killed in a Thunderdome-style rap battle
My guess is that it's Zuko....who is stated to still be alive: he resigned being Fire Lord and let the throne pass to his daughter, and then began travelling the world encouraging peace and cooperation (lingering atonement for his family's role in the Hundred Year War). They even say this on-screen in Season 2.
God help us all.
Oh....I loved the show as a fanatic in Seasons 1 and 2, then when Seasons 3 and 4, as the show turned to garbage, I realized that Ron Moore had played me for a fool. I *defended* him, put my faith in him - as did many other scifi fans. He faced an uphill battle in this high-concept show and we were cheering him on.
…
It's amazing how this show still inspires such blind devotion, and yet, no one has actually provided a structured *defense* of how off the rails it went, other than to *deny the very concept of standards*.
To be blunt: No, Ron didn't deserve an Emmy for this shit. He didn't deserve a Hugo for anything in Seasons 3…
Oh, I forgot to mention, Werthead: you point out that Anne Cofell Saunders stayed on the show in Season 3, after all of those others mysteriously disappeared after Season 2. Well, yes and no. For starters, we don't even know when "half the writers" left - Graphia and Robinson don't appear in the Season 2.5 credits…
What weirds me out most is...that whole point about "rewarding close analysis"....Ron Moore himself would state with pride that "I have the most intelligent fandom in scifi"....these weren't just fanboys oggling female cast members: physicists enjoyed how (relatively) grounded the science was, female professionals…
Oh yeah, I don't blame Grazier, I blame Ron.
I was there analyzing each episode in exacting detail one week at a time....yes, I'm happy someone else noticed that....you know just how *weird* it was that after spending SO MUCH time on the Tomb of Athena/Kobol arc (the Season 1 finale itself hinged on finding that…
I'm not even annoyed that it was a stupid idea...which it was...my stress is that it was the *only* idea they actually had, as the DVD commentary painfully admits.
Oh yeah, now that I think about it, they do peel back the layers more, and in that same episode, we find out that Nolan's nickname in his unit during the war was "No-Man Nolan".....a few people assume it's short for "Leave No man behind on the battlefield" Nolan, as if he went on a rescue mission or something.
It turns…
You're getting your dates confused: half the writers left due to unexplained circumstances after *Season Two*....the writer's strike happened *after Season Three*.
I tacitly admit that there was nothing so overtly wrong about Eureka that it didn't deserve to be on the channel, if the ratings sustained it and justified its renewal.
That is exactly the sort of thing I would expect a secret lizard-man to say!
True, true, but it was better than what Star Trek had been doing. Trying to make it used future, putting the command center at the dead center of the ship and no windows, instead of having the bridge needlessly at the top of the ship, etc.
Remember at the end of the show, when fans pointed out that constellations are only visible in that pattern from a specific planet - so if all of the clues from the Tomb of Athena were leading to them Cylon-Earth, not final-Earth, the constellations shown in the Tomb of Athena *should not* have been constellations as…
How do the ironborn get married? Wade into the ocean?
