Companion? No, no, Mrs O deserves the honour of being a Time Lady. Can we start that rumour? Can we say that prior to the 2008 speech in question, Michelle Obama hopped in her TARDIS and travelled in time to watch enough of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (premiered in 2010) to plagiarise Twilight Sparkle? I want…

Everything is a spoiler. (My comment contains no actual spoilers) “Jeffrey Dean Morgan cast in Supernatural! We don’t know who he’s playing!” Spoiler. “Jon Snow smiled in last night’s episode of Game of Thrones!” Spoiler. “There are space ships in the new Star Wars movie!” Spoiler. “The Doctor talked to [current…

Ha, the Canadian content thing is a HUGE bee in my bonnet. Netflix has an amazing selection of foreign TV, from across both the Pacific and the Atlantic, but the anime selection alone is probably twice the size of the Canadian TV selection.

That was so cute that it actually hurt. In that “Oh, my heart!” kind of way, with the “aww” and the hand-over-heart sort of thing. <3

No, no, as I understand, it’ll air on Space and Crave gets streaming rights. So if you’ve got Space, you’re just fine. :)

I suppose I should have said “the Canadian version of Netflix”, instead of saying “our Netflix” as shorthand the way I might say, “Our weather has been terrible” when what I mean is “[City]’s weather has been terrible”. But something tells me you knew that perfectly well. Still, I appreciate the lecture! I’m sure I…

Crave’s also getting Doctor Who season 9... and all the rest of Who, of course, so it’ll be leaving Netflix. Damn Bell anyway for snatching up SO MUCH. They’re probably the biggest reason our Netflix is rated so low for content—they keep buying up the rights to everything, for Crave.

I was really surprised when they all showed up a couple of weeks ago (although I can never find Voyager unless I specifically search for it; it doesn’t show up when I browse, no matter what device I use). Because I thought that they were all getting pulled off of Netflix wholesale for the CBS streaming service for the…

Peter Jackson only made The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I remember there was lots of chatter about The Hobbit and making it a trilogy and casting Richard Armitage as Thorin and there might hae been some early pictures released of him looking exactly how I always pictured my dear sweet Gimli... and they might have said…

You left The Birdcage off your list and therefore it is incomplete.

You know, I’ve seen enough people say just that, that I honestly thought it was true—Denis Lawson did turn down showing up in Ep VII and for some reason I’d got it into my head that it was because he was going to die right away, because Wedge was supposed to do what Lor San Tekka did.

I will admit that I don’t know more about the issue with the young lady in this particular post. What you’re saying may very well be the case. I unfortunately did what a lot of people do in comments in articles: write broadly about the issues the post pertain to, rather than directly address the specifics.

Oh my sweet heavens grown ups need to tone it down with the teenagers. I absolutely believe teens need to be engaged and challenged regarding problematic beliefs—like I said, we learn a lot of that shit at home and can’t learn if we don’t have interaction with the better beliefs. But we learn NOTHING if people yell at…

And let’s not forget some “big-name” classic movies that are remakes, like An Affair to Remember, The Magnificent Seven, A Fistful of Dollars, The Jazz Singer, King Solomon’s Mines, Silk Stockings, the 1966 Stagecoach starring Ann-Margaret; A Star Is Born, State Fair, The Swan, THE TEN fucking COMMANDMENTS (yeah, the…

Why did The Magnificent Seven need to get remade? Who asked for it? Who wanted it? Why aren’t people more angry about it—The Magnificent Seven is a properly classic movie. And, like, there are POC in it. And a gay dude. He’s probably not playing gay, but whatever. POC and gays! Remaking an Oscar-nominated movie! WAKE…

I’ve been agonising over something that transpired yesterday, that is an interpersonal problem where bigotry or any kind of -ism doesn’t even play into it. Like, this is sleepless-night-my-friend-is-upset-with-me level shit.

If it’s JUST FINE to execute someone well after the fact because they have a criminal record (and for which they’ve probably already served their sentence, whatever it might have been), then why don’t these same people lobby the American government to just execute all anyone convicted of a crime, upon conviction?

Given that people always crawl out of the woodwork to bring up the criminal records and suspicion of criminal activity of the individuals murdered like police this way, I’m surprised that these same folks aren’t actively lobbying to have all criminals immediately executed upon conviction. It’d surely stop this sort of…

NERD TRIVIA! It’s easy to assume that Ned renamed Jon after Jon Arryn, rather than call him by a Targaryen name his parents could have given the kid, but there was a Jon in the Stark family, who was King in the North and head of House Stark. I think it would be a really nice touch to give him a Stark name to go with…

Ah, I’m nerding hard today.
