"When you depict a white culture with castle's and advanced politics (even though the political machinations in this series are laughably rudimentary) and you then depict of culture of dark skinned people murdering and screwing like a pack of rapid animals who haven't even thought to make clothes for themselves you're…

Studi is badass. Even his wordless turn in "Dances With Wolves" as "Toughest Pawnee" was insanely memorable.

More "The Fall" and "Wonderfalls" love.

I think the whole "Martin's going to die thing is way overblown." The dude is 63 and somewhat fat, but there are plenty of somewhat fat 73 year olds in the world, assuming he takes five years on the next two books. It's not like he's had a public history of life-threatening health problems or something.

"And he is guarded by a wench who's visibly struggling against internalized oppression and the patriarchy, if that makes you feel better."
"It does not!"

I can't distinguish the complaints about racism in Song of Ice and Fire from the idea that you can't portray anyone who's not white doing anything bad. Maybe that's because I'm a USian, but maybe that's because the complaints are pretty nonsensical.

At this point in the books, you'd know that Jaime is still alive because he's better with a sword than almost anyone. And his father, Tywin, is probably the most powerful person in the kingdom who isn't King Robert. So, it's more that than cleverness. Jaime's not dumb, but he's more direct than clever, except when…

In fact, they should CGI the entire cast into Kens and Barbies!

Well, with his portrayal of Tyrion, I doubt a single political figure at a time would be enough.

I love Tyrion's accent. To me, Dinklage is playing it like Tyrion is always playing a part, which he kinda is. So, I think the accent works as sound like a bit of a put on.

A couple of them were, actually. Which is nonsense for how they're portrayed in the book, but I'd like to see you find a horde of swarthy extras who look like they come from the same tribe in Northern Ireland. It's probably about as hard as finding a location that looks like the Great Plains or the Eurasian Steppe.

Dolorous Edd Tollett is winning, but is too morose to enjoy it.

Needed the IMDB to help:

Daryl Zero: I did find one other thing of interest, though.
Steve Arlo: Holy shit, those are the keys. You found the gold Swiss Army knife.
Daryl Zero: I know.
Steve Arlo: And this is the safe deposit box key. Where'd you find them?
Daryl Zero: They were in the sofa,…

In horn rim glasses.

MILD SPOILING THINGS
There's not much of a reason they couldn't shift Bran's dreams to Season 2, though. Just give a hint or two this season that he's dreaming something funky.

SPOILING THINGS SPOILING THINGS
Now the noobs who read spoilers for some reason think Rob fucks his wolf. Which is correct, non-book readers, because Martin had to top the twincest somehow as the series went on.

The Targaryens are also not exclusively the product of incest. There are references to them marrying others in the books. Rhaegar married Elia Martell, for instance. And according to

The TV show is great, but is pretty atrocious when portraying football or football-related activities. If would really be better if we never saw a game.

According to the entry in "Past Imperfect: History According to the Movies" the main problem with "Glory" historically is that the 54th Massachucets was made up almost entirely of free blacks from Massachucets, not recently escaped slaves. Two of Frederick Douglass' kids enlisted, including one who was the regiment's…

From reading the book, Sean Tuohy is a much more fascinating character than his wife, but he got short-shrift in the movie. The Oher as simple-seeming manchild thing is somewhat present in the book.
