Correct. He's only a bit younger than Robert. I don't think it's every spelled out exactly, but he commanded troops in Robert's Rebellion while Renly was still a child during that war. (13 years ago in the books, 17 in the TV series)

I bet there's going to be more jiggering going forward. We can't have regular cast members disappearing all season just because Martin wrote it that way. 

Yoren is the best. Sure he smells like an outhouse in a plastic fire, but he's a good sort.

I read her book Roseannearchy, which read a fair amount like a Twitter feed. She's funny, but can't or won't stay on any topic at all. I shudder to think what the unedited manuscript was like. 

I was listening to the Opinionated podcast (how was that name not taken by late 2011?) and they pointed out that "intentions aren't magic."

That Cav's owner's the fucking piece of shit. A.) He's a payday lender and B.) he tried to hire away nthe hall of fame basketball coach from the alma mater he allegedly loves.

He's also not a comedian because he's dead. 

Right, because studio execs care that Lucas makes bad movies. That's why they refuse to work with Michael Bay anymore, who couldn't make something as good as the prequels in 100 years of trying.

The trailer appears to have P-51s strafing a German battleship, which I'm pretty sure never happened outside a video game.

Asinus, the snorkel that allowed diesel/electric subs to use their diesel engines without suffocating the crew was put into use during World War II.

I really don't get the hate for the nuclear fridge. It's not any crazier than surviving a plane crash by opening an inflatable raft. Plus, it's a fun detail that fridges used to be lined with lead.

Some
of the props for Empire have to also go to co-writer Leigh Brackett,
no? Having the writer of Rio Bravo and The Long Goodbye work on the
script along with Lawrence Kasdan was the kind of smart thing that Lucas
used to do. He could have gotten almost anyone to work on the new
trilogy with him, but no.

All of Bay's films lack both the touch and the power, it's true.

Why?

I think either those scenarios would be terrible writing on a level the Walking Dead doesn't  usually get to.

Why not the Scarlett Letter? 

Does Tom Cruise not exist, Lobsters? Everything Fox does badly, Cruise does badly in the same way times 10. 

You gotta look closely, but there are a number of orc beheadings that wouldn't look out of place in Dead Alive. Jackson said something on the commentary about figuring out he could get away with much more spurting neck wounds because he made orc blood black. 

We know something Jackson's persona now, but at the time all you'd know of him is that he made these gleefully trashy and outrageous movies. You'd kind expect him to be 1b. 

The trailer made it really obvious he didn't get the book. One of Sebold's best touches was that the afterlife the girl is in is like a vacant suburb. It isn't some wondrous world where everything is awesome. Jackson appeared to be going all What Dreams May Come on it.
