The A.V. Club

Rowan's "careful what you wish for" act is like an evil That's So Raven or something.

Jaime never got a chance to share his Pop Secret.

Please don't consider this a spoiler, but there is a (minor, irrelevant) character in the books named Dickon Manwoody, as well as a trio named Kurleket, Llarys, and Mohor. And there are more examples. Martin absolutely throws random silliness into his character naming (there are several references to the NFL as well,…

Missandei/Jojen 4 lyfe

I thought they had a Valyrian sword that Gerion Lannister took with him when he tried to sail to the Doom of Valyria? Or maybe he just wanted to go try and get some stuff to build one…

I guess she's written some short stories (which I need to get around to), but apparently Susanna Clarke has been working on a sequel of sorts to Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell for ten years.

I'm just starting out now (hey everyone from five years ago!) and I knew of the Albuquerque Isotopes but had no idea the team name was a Simpsons reference. That's pretty cool!

There are people who like Xenocide more than Ender's Shadow? Well ok then.
