The point being that one of those movies booked through 2021 could have had a female lead. Is it necessary to have an Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, Black Panther all before Captain Marvel?

Agreed. I thought Lee Pace was fine, but he was given virtually no back story and his motivation was the same as the motivation of every other character in the movie. He was almost indistinguishable from Malekith. Aside from making Gamora a weakling, it was the biggest weak spot in the movie.

Rest assured - Guardians of the Galaxy is probably the most colorful comic book movie we've had in a while.

If it decides that queer Cosima and Tony do have the exact same genes as the rest of the cisgender/heterosexual clones, it’s coming down on the side of “nurture.”

Trepanation, if I'm not mistaken, wasn't really in vogue in the 19th century in England, but you're right, not only did it not look like a lobotomy, but the lobotomy procedure wasn't developed until the 20th century.

WUT he's SO GOOD as Simon on Misfits, that's all I can think of when I see him.

My mother used to teach 3rd grade, and would show them the Princess Bride every year. She stood by her view that Inigo saying "I want my father back, you son of a bitch" was a completely defensible use of that phrase.

I thought this was an EXCELLENT episode. Sansa doing an overt transformation vs. the books' covert one; Arya's bitter laughter; Clegane hitting Oberyn and his TEETH literally spilling across the floor to his paramour.

Whoa, that took less than a day. He must have seen the script or something.

Was just announced - Adam McKay. http://variety.com/2014/fil…

She's a mutant and has been on X-Factor since its post-House of M inception.

I'd be surprised if they include most of the Iron Island stuff. I bet they cut Victarion/Euron, or hold them off until season 6.

Someone on Vulture suggested to Benioff that he cast his wife, Amanda Peet, as septon Unella. She seemed amped at the idea of it.

I think she got remarried and redivorced. No one can stay married to the Whites, apparently.

It seems rather odd that they got married in the first place.

Well, was it post-stroke?

I think Claremont needs an immense amount of time to let the plot breathe, and in the 90s and futher, if you didn't get sales in a few months, that was that, and he doesn't thrive in that kind of environment. His brief return to X-men, Extreme X-Men, Exiles, and X-Men Forever all bear that out.

THE CROSSTIME CAPER

That seems very possible!

I will say that Blink, prior to being introduced in the form we all love in AoA, was actually first in normal 616 continuity in the Phalanx Covenant. She lasts about 2 issues.
