Orange Is The New Black is very good. Have a ball.

Weird, I also watched a French movie and read the comic it was based on this week.

TV:

Gravity: Best and most overrated film of the year!

We weren't given a lot of options as far as film goes, tbh.

Sleepy Hollow has been consistently across multiple websites (including this one) and, personally, is one of the best shows I've seen in 2013. Why are you so sure you'd not enjoy it?

Game of Thrones is pretty much defined by people making hard choices which they regret terribly, though. If Telltale was ever going to do a straight fantasy game, Game of Thrones feels like one of the best fits for precisely this reason.

if Dumbledore being gay was also not canon, as none of the Star Trek novelizations 'really' happened.

A big deal was made about that guy IIRC. Hell they got Neal McDonough to play him… for what amounted to a glorified redshirt.

Nope, Archer hooked up with ladies a couple of times. There was some talk about Malcolm Reed, the British guy whose job was to be very British, being gay (the actor, Dominic Keating, was for it) but that never happened.

Explicitly so too, if we count TNG's "The Host."

Oh, I do believe Walking Dead is played best without do-overs. ;) Learning to regret the choices you've made… that's part of the game's power.

Christmas Tidings From Winterfell!

I haven't seen either of the other two versions, so I don't know how much of my problems are original to the Tunnel, but it's just kind of dull and stupid. The Truth Terrorist is a very silly idea taken very, very seriously, and it weighs down the series.

It doesn't belie the assertion. You literally could just read either comment thread.

They made it into the topic of discussion. I suggest you skim the comments here or in the Enlightened post. The entitled anger is palpable.

I've heard rationalizations about the Intrepid crew. But it's a lot of jumping through hoops to justify an idea without actual canon basis - Spock being the first Vulcan in Starfleet - when Occam's Razor would just have other Vulcans enter ahead of him. It's just a simpler explanation.

'Ensured' is too strong a word though. It was an inconclusive battle, the important thing it made the Germans decide to no longer try to break out. They gave up as opposed to being decisively defeated.

They did. Here is the announcement trailer.

I'm aware. It's just a lot of people treat fanon as something the show automatically has to respect (like, famously, the idea Spock was the first Vulcan in Starfleet - hell if that were true how'd they get a whole Vulcan crew for the Intrepid?) which isn't really the case. Andorians and Tellarites in DS9 weren't…
