I agree almost wholeheartedly, just one minor proviso. Need to deduct -2 Wis for those Neutrals as well. A wise man/woman has the strength of one's convictions:-). In fact, just deduct -2 Wisdom for being a primate, and you've nailed it. If only canines had been the species to attain higher intellect, and the world

Pretty sure 'have someone delete all records of my existence from SHIELD files, and also give me maximum SHIELD security clearance before killing themselves' was somewhere in Kilgrave's first 10 priorities upon mastering his powers. Anyway, Kilgrave almost certainly moved to Canada. It's the only explanation I can

Thing is, Tywin is absolutely right when he says that Tommen has the right personality to be a great king.

It's only weird if Spiderman and Stark hook up. NO, NO DON'T TYPE THE REPLY WHERE YOU MAKE SOME SNARK ABOUT IT BEING WEIRDER IF SPIDERMAN AND AUNT MAY HOOK UP THAT'S DISGUSTING

Probably suggesting this because of KoTOR 2 on the brain right now, but it DOES provide a great model they should have ripped off for the renegade/paragon consequences. Make the paragon choices result in people becoming increasingly reliant on you to fix their problems for them, with the consequences coming to roost

Which, fair enough, but is merely a mirroring of…

In fairness re D'Ualla, the fact that you were screwed if you got attached to any of the characters in a 'this guy/girl will live long, happily and in non-squalid conditions, with a solid marriage and neither descending into corruption nor attaining virtue through extreme physical suffering' sort of way was pretty

I know that this would infuriate a ton of the comic fans on the ground of it being 'another pointless gender swap' (and I don't like those either; I want more female leads, but I can't comprehend why it's 'pro-women' to relegate great female actors to lame cover-versions of male roles 10 years after the roles'

HBO = 'Huge Boob Ogling'.

So…they choose the Tyrion book of the series, and then conclude that the series is about Tyrion? Will they follow it up by examining the first and fourth and saying how it's a story about how Ned Stark's actions cause a really big not-Vikings raid?

It's not the whizz-bang stuff that makes the difference. In this show, Savage has no motivation that the audience can relate to.

You forget Heroes seasons 3 to 5.

All joking aside, it actually WAS the finale for the original show-runner and writing team. They moved on after that, which is why after season 4 the show has a completely different set of characters, whose only resemblance to the original set of characters is that they share the same name, face and voice - they're

Lumen was good, but it really brought home how Dexter was a completely different show once the original show-runner left. It's like they really believed that by having the same actors, with the same voices, the audience wouldn't realise notice that the show and characters were completely different.

HEY! I quit watching AV Club after they murdered Todd VanDeWerff. Sure, he ended up having his own spinoff on Voxx, but I never really got into that.

I really can't see cassettes EVER making a genuine revival (by 'genuine', I mean a revival that sells enough to be commercially significant). They're flat out the worst storage media, and that was true even when they were at their height, when their sole selling point was that they were by far the cheapest option and

Walking Dead suffered with Shane's death largely due to the change in show-runners. At the time, they seemed to have a thematic plan moving forward - Shane was making the ugly choices that LET Rick be the 'good guy', and after his death, Rick was going to have to start making those choices himself.

I still can't believe that '28 Gays Later' only seems to exist in my head:-(

In fairness, whilst there is indeed a racist streak in Lovecraft's works, I think this reading is a common misconception. Yes, the main character is sympathetic to the Elder Things - but just how sympathetic is the reader supposed to be to the main character?

Really? Did they have to cast US heads in this? What, did they think they could just use make-up to make it look like they have pencil-dot eyes and faces that move up and down like there's hinges at the cheek-bones, and we wouldn't notice that they aren't actually Canadian?
