but they said it would be six John Harrisons!!

I love the idea behind Bartkira, the only thing that's a little disappointing with that project is that the panels are direct rips from Akira only with Simpsons characters mashed in. There are some nice visual gags that reference things from the show, but little else to make it half simpsons. If I think of other…

I can't say I have a wealth of knowledge on their TV escapades. I got into Lost, that kind of fell apart half way through of course, but I stuck with it. I watched a bit of Alcatraz when it was on but it didn't grab me. I haven't seen Fringe or Person of Interest or any of their other shows that are running now or…

Thor frog reminds me of Chrono Trigger so I instantly like him better than the original Thor.

I was gonna say something similar, in that, what if the gas giants are just stars who's growth was interrupted by a larger star, in this case the sun.

It does more than flesh out the Maester, though. Like the scene where Tywin is skinning the deer, then later that season he defeats Stanis Baratheon (who's house sigil is a deer), him catching fish is foreshadowing for something involving House Tully (who's sigil is a fish).

There are a lot of reasons why really good scenes get cut besides broadcast restrictions. It needs to fit in the 50 minutes because HBO wants to run it's ads between shows, and it needs to wrap up so the next show can start on time. But besides time restraints it's possible the director didn't like the way it fit into…

I think if there ever was UFO wreckage or alien bodies at Area-51 they're long gone by now (to be clear, I don't think anything like that has ever been there). As soon as UFO conventions started camping out outside their restricted area they would have packed up and moved it somewhere else and let the people keep on…

Call me crazy but I think Singer shoehorned the character into Days of Future Past simple because Whedon was teasing that him and Scarlet Witch would be in Avengers 2. Singer's Twitter announcement was even vaguely confrontational.

It's all muddy waters when you're empire building.

I'm only familiar with what's in the show, haven't read the books, so from what's been in the show it seems like The Mountain has been evil toward the Hound, but otherwise he's just a bad dude. War criminal maybe. Maybe just lustful for violence. But not necessarily evil or a villain. A villain to the Hound, sure, but…

The biggest hitch in Bad Robot's armor is the same thing that seems to make them successful. Their core team. Abbrams, Kurztman, Orci, Lindelof, they're are all like-minded blockbuster simpletons and if you could just focus their creative energies with competent writers or directors you'd get a quality product. It's…

I think she knows shes a bad mother, but there's nothing she wouldn't do in her children's name. But we also see that she's a part of her father's plots and that she doesn't have control over or love for Joffrey anymore, so where she had power she now has none, and where she was a player she's now becoming a pawn. And…

I agree. When a bad guy is just evil because they're the bad guy and that's it, all I think is that the writer doesn't know who their character is. Every bad guy doesn't have to be some tragic case where you sympathize with them, but we have to understand why they're doing it, where they're coming from (whether we…

That line of reasoning works perfectly because that's true of Hitler. I mean, he wasn't trying to protect Nazis per say, but he was trying to build up his country after the events of WW1. His aspirations soared higher after that of course. But if you ignore his campaign against Jewish people and other minorities, he's…

I've never seen Walter as a bad guy, or an evil guy or whatever. I guess when he poisoned that kid it was the turning point for him, where he was pretty concretely bad. or selfish. I don't know. He starts out as someone who made a fleeting decision in order to support his family after he dies and then gets in way over…

I think it really depends on what kind of villain you're trying to portray and if the story backs it up or not.

Game of Thrones is interesting because there really are no villains. There are people we're lead not to not like, but no one is evil by any means. Everyone has understandable motivation.

Kids gotta learn what the inside of an ostrich neck looks like sooner or later. Rites of passage, man.

I don't mean to say you should sympathize with him, only that he's arguably inexperienced at feature length directing. But he's certainly not brilliant by any means. He just got tossed into the blockbuster franchise arena straight away.
