Didn't know that about the actor, that sucks but I think they'd have kept Bronn around anyways. He's a fan favourite and it's not like he dies in the book, he just becomes a lord because he marries that girl with a bastard and they've skipped over that whole very minor sub-plot so he needs to do something.

Actually, orogenesis doesn't force mountains up directly. It thickens the crust, by compressing and crumpling it, adding new material through volcanism and intrusions, or by doubling the crust by sliding one plate over another, like Tibet sliding over India. Another process, called isostasy, causes the thickened crust…

Season five has been excellent thus far. While I love the show, it does tend to have it's share of weak episodes, and as of episode eight I would be hard pressed to label a single one as disappointing. They even nailed the first episode, which Community has had trouble managing in the past.

The Bagger 288 is so awesome it has its own song (about challenging Godzilla):

Proof that we need to put a stop to orcanized crime.

Is this why Time Lords always seem to be British?

From commentary on the (I think it's first season) DVDs, they talk about shying away from calling them the 'Others' as it's kind of a vague terminology outside the book— in the book it earns the distinction of being capitalized and hence easily recognized for what it is- a proper name— there were fears people would…

I'm pretty sure that suggesting to send out death-squads to kill people with dissenting opinions or shaming them into suicide. 'appropriately' qualifies you as a loony yourself.

I agree. He's hilarious (and in my mind's eye, he's exactly what Rincewind looks like.)

Well she's not a "doctor" but she still seems pretty cool.
