I also love Astrid because she's clearly really, really smart. Doesn't she have degrees in linguistics and computer science? Impressive. And even though she's a glorified babysitter a lot of the time and is really underutilized, she keeps working with the Fringe team because she believes in the work and because she's…

I can't believe that I think something like that is actually necessary. It's really getting ridiculous.

I think the real test will be how he handles the interview scene (can he turn on the charm for the audience?) and the scenes between him and Katniss in the cave (vulnerability). I've read that the actor is a big fan of the books so he should be pretty emotionally invested in the character. I really don't feel ready to…

Oooh, sounds good. I might just check it out On Demand. And then not be able to sleep when refrigerator starts making noises late at night.

YES EXACTLY. He would be so thrilled!

That's okay, Rupert Grint should play the Doctor in a few years anyways. He'd be brilliant! I'm actually more shocked that Dan says that he simply hasn't seen Doctor Who.

John Scalzi is so fucking quality.

GRRM himself wrote the episode, so it should be good! I think I read that they had to budget a lot to make sure they were able to pull off the Blackwater, so fingers crossed.

What, that demonstration about how if you kick someone in the balls on an asteroid they go flying off into space wasn't enough science for you?

Either that or an explanation as to why they're so well-adjusted. It would appear that they have not just been dropped into 2012 the first time we see them on-screen.

The nail polish line is not dead, but they did edit it and change all the names from what was originally put out.

Was Hugo really good? I thought it looked terrible from the trailers.

I kind of feel bad for all those bats - how would you like to be woken up in the middle of the night and have the covers ripped off you?

The Doctor speaks cat, you know.

Mind if I ask why everybody seems to hate 4E? I'm a relatively new D&D player, just started last year and 4E is all I've ever played, so I don't really know much about how the previous editions worked.

"But they got the beak right!"

Did anyone else read this article and just think of this the whole time?

I'm so excited to see that Russell Tovey is going to be in this episode of Sherlock! And I also find it really amusing since he plays the werewolf on Being Human.
