Yep, Freddy designed and drew the Queen logo himself, and really liked fantasy.

Kevin is still smarter than most people. He's maybe 80% smart as he used to be, but since now he's not autistic, he can put his smarts to work so his effective genius is actually increased.

Stark was a Magnificent Bastard, and a hottie. I teared up when he died.

I think I'm the only person who really didn't like 100K Kingdoms. I mean, I disliked it.

We see a clear distinction between the European dragons — beasts of burden, used like animals down to their breeding, although they can speak and think (Very akin to slavery) vs. the Chinese ones, which have to support themselves, sometimes in menial jobs, some of them as a result being destitute.

Oh, right.

Wait, there were people who didn't think HAL was gay? (at least in the movie)

"Special Bulletin", though clearly fiction, was much more chilling than "Day After", b/c it was played much more low-key and matter-of-factly. It was shot to look like every breaking news report you've ever seen. No extrapolation.
