I don't recall anything 'quite' as big as the Red Wedding, or Ned's execution coming up in the next few books, but there's a f***load of great spoiler moments nonetheless. So….here's a few to annoy the crap out of anyone who doesn't pay attention to SPOILER tags (nah, I'll try to keep these vague, or at least their…

Hey! I really liked my idea for 'Doogie Howser, age-appropriate MD in Ancient Rome'

They'd have to set it in ancient Rome though. He meets the mother in season 2. she is killed immediately after giving childbirth, and then the lead guy engages on a 4 season campaign of revenge, oiled men and naked women.

That's what gets me as well - I'd actually be LESS offended if he wasn't also occasionally genuinely funny.

I'm guessing that, as Harvey Dent is around the same age as Bruce Wayne, we won't really be seeing much of him. Unless the show goes for like 8 years, in which case we might get the beginnings of his era as an ADA taking on police corruption (if they're running with the continuity where 'Harvey Twoface' was originally…

Surely John Oliver would be the obvious choice. He's British in the US, so he'll work for peanuts - no, literally, if they just hand the crowd packets of peanuts to throw at him for his daily nutrition it's probably a payrise.

Oddly enough, I have no desire to attract the good opinion of someone who saw nothing wrong with rock and punk - the 'music of rebellion' standing idling by when flattening major civillian centres was becoming an accepted military tactic under 'shock and awe', and civil liberties were being trampled on like toddlers…

Come up with a reason why my self-righteous blathering is factually inaccurate, and I'll bother refuting his point. Seeing as he isn't refuting mine, I'm not going to bother either. Frankly, if the best critique you can come up with is an ad hominum about the writing skills of the person making the argument, that only…

Wow, that's just really convinced me. There I was, pissed off the consumerification of dissent and the self-absorbed solipsism of the 90s emos together with the outright ultra-pro-war conservatism of the metal flagbearers who ditched their pacificism as soon as it meant more than selling a t-shirt, but WOW. Now I…

Never got the 'but their POP punk' criticism. I was in my late teens and like everyone else in the world had been growing up on Dead Kennedies and Black Flag. But fuck those haters - pop-punk had just as much claim to the punk movement and moniker as anyone.

As far I understand it, Ronald Moore's contribution was to insist on each season being set in a different location during a different timeline of the outbreak, with anything from 1 to 3 cast members continuing from the previous season (though key 'through-plot' cast members might show up several seasons later after…

Admittedly, the Originals seem to be hinting in that direction - so long as they don't go the retarded route of having the 2nd most badass human (Cami's uncle, the Priest and head of the 'human faction) die via witch hex, which seems to be the current plan. He had one of the most awesome introductions of any character…

Still doesn't counter the fact that the writers neutered Damon's badboy-ness from being the self-sabotaging guy who would respond to everyone else's well-thought plans by going 'fuck it' and screwing things up on a whim (or killing his brother's best friend - which should have been at least the equivalent of killing…

Am I the only one who MASSIVELY preferred Anna to Bonnie. It's a good thing Annie was killed off because it was making me really creepy. I'm like twice her age (a bit under that when she was on), and she reminded me of precisely the kind of girl who I'd have been so obsessed over that I'd never have worked up the…

I'm hoping that the upcoming spin-off will be urban rather than western. I LOVED the western feel back when Darabont was doing it, and frankly the fans' complaints are precisely why you don't listen t fans so long as they're tuning in - because half the time they doin't KNOW why they're tuning in. All of season 3 was…

Ever since it was revealed that Katherine loved Stefan, but not Damon, the endgame couple has very clearly been Damon and Elena; Stefan and Katherine. They've even started on the groundwork with the whole 'Stefan forgiving Katherine' thing,

Oh come on,it's been obvious ever since they open the crypt in season one that the show will finish with Danon being with Elena and Stefan being with Katherine.

Am I the only one who'd like Matt to take some Alaric lessons in how to wtfpwn elder vampires through a combination of surprise, preparatioh ahd pre-thinking all the angles? Actually, come to think of it, Alaric was basicallly Batman, both in tactics and in terms of tjhe Justice League version of the guy who takes…

I'd make a snarky comment, but it would only serve to mask the fact that I'd absolutely sleep with either of them.

Was I the only one who, upon seeing the beehive-infested corpse, thought 'Yummy! That's going to be some sweet honey-flavoured steak Hannibal's cooking tonight.'
