*SAIGON* I did not lose my legs in Nam, to say "Ho Chi Minh City".

I remember a Q&A, online, it was even a question I submitted: how could Ron justify lying to his fans in the *opening credits* like that? Or in every early podcast, insisting "There is a Cylon Plan, we're just not revealing it yet" (the unstated attachment to that was "though of course, I haven't decided what the…

Battlestar Galactica

Giant octopuses have been known to eat sharks, just not any this big before.

True lobsters actually have claws; this is a rock lobster.

I'm an Administrator on the Game of Thrones Wiki. We don't know any more than you do. However, my personal guess is that the right way to do it is to...not have a straightforward cut to a flashback (this would be awkward), but to frame it as a memory-dream that Cersei is having, and then she wakes up.

One idea about their physiology that I think is interesting (mentioned on the wikipedia page too) is that sort of like plague rats or certain other parasite-borne diseases, while vampirism is caused by a virus, the vector by which the virus is transmitted are "capillary worms", this sort of roundworm-type thing - you…

I agree fully. Do you remember the magazine interviews they were doing at the time? Splitting Season 2 into two ten episodes halves...helped, but it was still a 20 episode expanded order, not 10-13. The writers openly said they felt this is why the only really bad episodes in Season 2 happened, the infamous "Black…

The Dorne/Vietnam analogy is pretty good. Though he doesn't seem to be up to date on the Dance of the Dragons. Each side had dragons but there was no mutually assured destruction, they just tore into each other. Aemond One-Eye basically managed to both devastate Westeros AND lose the war for the Green faction…

Everything after the New Caprica arc, basically all of Season 3 and Season 4, was basically "the writers just plain ran out of ideas" and were making up shit as they went along. EVERYTHING was "bad filler", except it wasn't exactly "filling the gaps" between anything good. Originally, the trial of Baltar was going…

Fight Club

My university cable channel would play it on a loop all the time, at all hours of the night. So things got rough and I was staying awake all night working, and I'd have Fight Club on in the background looped, nodding in and out on it.

I no longer know if my screename persona "V" is my bad dream...or if I…

With the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, there are numerous plot holes because they ran out of ideas after Season 2 ended (there was an actual series bible, and one writer accidentally let it slip in a guidebook that they had indeed exhausted all of their potential ideas after the New Caprica arc ended). This led…
