I was saying "Boo-t."

Wikipedia confirms:

"Submarine captains hate him!"

Remember when he prayed for rain, then much of the state instead caught on fire?

Agreed. This isn't Ghost in the Shell, in LA or NYC with an all American cast, so a Japanese version of Shakespeare is a false analogy. They set the film in Japan and even had Scarlett Johansson dye her hair black, so they're clearly going for the source material. This isn't a fresh take; this is a straightforward…

Yeah, I know Robert was "officially" the father of the children, and therefore Tommen was seen as a legitimate king. I just think it's funny that it was the worst kept secret in the kingdom, and everyone seemed wise to it but him.

A Mongol horde, three dragons, and her own brother are being escorted by Vikings to conquer the continent, and she has no idea.

I think the incest was pretty much a universally-acknowledged fact/public laughing stock. I always laughed when Tommen put on his stag crown. He must have been the only person alive who still thought he was a Baratheon.

"Are things so bad in Westeros that having maternal affection is a noteworthy trait?"

Car hold!

Gina Carano is an MMA fighter-turned-(sort of)-actress.

While you're there, kick her in the ass for not releasing more Pepsi Perfect last year.

The lesson is, never try.

I know what you mean. Getting into the greater mythology of a beloved series is one thing. (I'm currently watching Young Indiana Jones on Hulu.) Making one up rather than accept a plot hole because I love it and it's perfect and can't for a minute believe it has a flaw! is another.

Very well. I must get back to my comic book store, where I dispense insults rather than absorb them.

I know you're kidding, but have you ever listened to a diehard Star Wars apologist try to rationalize the Storm Troopers' terrible marksmanship? They make arguments along the lines of "Vader wanted Luke and Leia alive, so they were just trying to herd them!"

Did you know there's a direct correlation between the decline in Spirograph and the rise in White Walker activity? Think about it.

Yes! But my first thought was the Sopranos take on it.

I meant as opposed to torches or whatever (even if it was only simulated sunlight).

That's a very different opinion from "she's not hot."
