I see that Rufus has left the shadow of Bill & Ted to become Rael. Such betrayal will not go unpunished Rufus.

My biggest concern with this show is that if it sticks to the procedural "who dunnit?" (or I guess, "who's gonna do it?") is going to make it get really old. However, I think there is the shadow of an underlying continuous plot forming concerning the machine. So hopefully they find ways to keep it from being the…

The Golden Gun was the essence of badassness in the Goldeneye game ...

He has shamed himself for being seen and for leaving the witness alive. He should fall on his sword.

Yeah, show. Sorry. That's what I meant.

I'm still trying to figure out how that dragon could fly. As impossible as it seems for most dragons to fly, it seems 10 times more the case with this dragon.

I haven't been too excited to see her sans clothing as I just find it all so creepy and gross. Afterall she is suppose to be just a child. Which is good that they are staying fairly true on that point. But still. Gross.

Just remember to separate the Game of Thrones the book from the Game of Thrones the movie. They are two very separate entities. And a lot of the layers and nuances that are in the book, simply can not translate to film.

I actually think the books did a great job of fashioning Cersei into a woman who, if only she had been born a man would be a lord or king. Unfortunately, she is cursed with the misfortune of being a woman in a man's world.

I'd like to submit two more:

I think what is difficult about finding a single hero in Song of Ice and Fire is that the story's true main character is the Iron Throne. Really, all the characters are just plot devices for the Iron Throne. At least, that is what I've gotten out of the books so far.

Yeah they have to introduce the dreams eventually. I was surprised they didn't include this one. Though I was wondering how they were going to manage to do it.

Well depends on your definition of "noble". Which is an adjective with numerous meanings and I'm not sure in which context the article is actually using it. But I can see what they are getting at, so I didn't really think to stop to correct them.

There is a certain nobility to the Dothraki. I think Drogo is an interesting example. He's fierce and does some terrible things and certainly comes off as savage, but the way he often treats Dany isn't all that savage.

The show is much more medieval. Where magic and monsters really start out as myths and legends. As AllUnderstood said it starts off slow and slowly those different elements come into it. But yes, should be some awesome swordfighting scenes once it really gets going. Should be some epic medieval battles in general.

How about pretty much anything that Guy Gavriel Kay has written? Fionavar was a series, and purely heartbreaking. Then you have the stand alone Tigana, which is the saddest thing I've ever read.

I think its suffering is, in a way, the most realistic of all though. It may not be as earth-shattering as some others, but it felt earth-shattering to her. The whole Buffy series was really all about growing up, and I think that is what made the little things like the one you described so profound. I still think the…

He was, but when you look at his motivations and how broken he is as a character you have to feel bad for him. And he wasn't really all that arrogant. And really it was about the fact that he so desperately wanted to be special and never really was (which is something we all feel, isn't it?).

Also the tragedy that is Boomer. Sheer, terrible, tragedy. So sad.

Maybe Marsters could actually make me like Changes ... no, that is probably impossible. But maybe at least tolerate it.
