There's an amazing fanfiction called "Hearts and Bones" that I would tell every person interested in Renly to read. http://archiveofourown.org/…

My forever pick was Oded Fehr, who is older but damn fine.

The thing with this show is it films all over the world, so Fairley could be literally anywhere on Earth if she was filming. I also have never seen paparazzi or leaked photos from the set. I have only ever seen HBO-distributed behind the scenes photos and video. She only needs a cameo in one episode (they only need…

I always interpreted it as a metaphor for impotency - he's lost use of his strong hand and now she's not attracted to him anymore. This strong, strapping, virile man is now cast down and is almost "a cripple" - it's like any relationship where someone's physicality changes. You become obese, etc. - your partner may…

That's a reasonable guess, but I hope not. The daughters are great and I would have loved a side book for them (and Dorne in general).

I hate both, but at least the old one had a greasier look and had darker skin. I really wanted them to go full Daario. His whole look was so flamboyant and ridiculous that even him without lines would have reminded us how young Dany is and how she's experiencing wholly impractical lust for gross dudes. Also, his look…

SPOILERS
I think they're ending this season with book 3. They have the wedding (seemingly all or part of it happens next week), Sansa's escape, Tyrion and Shae, Tyrion and Tywin, Jon/Ygritte and the Castle Black stuff, Melisandre and Stannis, Petyr and Lysa, and the Stoneheart reveal. There's a LOT to cover and that's…

I'm surprised GRRM wouldn't be writing Tyrion's big episode because he considers Tyrion the proxy. Perhaps he wrote two?

My favorite Olenna moment this week was when she sent those handmaidens out on what was once literally an I Wanna Work for Diddy challenge. This woman is a ten in every way.

Someone tweeted "don't mind my stump, I'm still down to hump" and I lost my god damn mind.

THAT I agree with. He does have the capacity to use his intelligence and general masculine wiles to manipulate her especially because she does have a lot of bright-eyed optimism and while she's not a virgin, she does seem to be very inexperienced and that makes me feel protective towards her.

JEEZ Dude, I hope things get better. Really.

I feel like you haven't watched TV if you're not familiar with the Twinkle Smile (as I call it the Erik Estrada), the 80's freeze-frame ending, and the very similar "Oh, Davey"/kid does something goofy and everyone laughs kind of ending. Community has done the freeze-frame before so of course they'd lampoon the GI Joe…

It would just make me mad if the possible movie had both Glover and Chase missing. I'd like a small cameo by Chase (even as a ghost or voice or whatever) and I would really want Glover in it (maybe they all try to rescue him and LeVar at sea).

I think it wasn't homaged but subverted and conceptualized. The show actively acknowledged some of the ridiculous things about GI Joe (the parachuter in the plane as just one). They analyzed a very masculine piece of media and expanded on people's relationships with the show. For Jeff, it offers childhood nostalgia…

Maybe they didn't want it to be another dad thing "This is something my dad and I shared" or "since my dad left i thought this is what real men were like." I think the show wanted to explore Jeff's age without an advanced childhood rationale. It was a dream - if Jeff passed out thinking about aging, his dreams…

I've learned over the years that something about me absorbed past pop culture in a way my peers didn't - you don't know how many times i'll mention Fred and Ginger only to get blank looks from people even in their late 20's (I'm in my early 20's). I think it's all of the Nick at Nite and I Love the 80's I watched but…

I have the opposite: I dated a 31-year-old when I was 19 (the Annie). His issues were flakiness and a lack of a life-plan, but he was probably the man that respected and valued me the most out of every guy I've dated. It took him a long time to get comfortable with me being my age, and I never felt like he was…

I had a long-time thing with a guy (me at 19, he at 31) that was definitely more physical and emotional than Jeff and Annie and they gross me out. I think that while Alison doesn't look 18, Annie does (clothes, hair, voice). Jeff is this tall dude with a six-pack who has relationships with grown women and a bunch of…

Same - I've never seen GI Joe except for small clips in I Love the 80's but even I know that the visuals, voicework, and commercials were pitch-perfect. Growing up in the 90's, you still saw the residue of that show through other action cartoons and through your average toy commercials for boys. Really, really…
