I wonder that myself. OK, the film does take huge liberties with Diana Wynne Jones' (wonderful wonderful and more wonderful) novel, but as the lady herself said it totally respects the spirit of her work even though it's hardly a straight transcription. Down here in New Zealand, HMC first screened as part of the New…

We don't care if Miyazaki makes 1,000 movies all with an "down with industrialization" vibe, as long as they all star badass bitches like this lady.

Wow, devolving your counter point into a long winded, vitriol laden diatribe about how your superior outlook supersedes mine and anyone elses with a "your sad existence" added for that extra special cliche coup d'état, all of which does little to conceal the fact that you, in all likelihood, know little of what you…

Hey, come on, no book spoilers here please. Talk about anything up to where the TV show is now.

She's a lot younger than he is, right? I think it would be sort of weird if he was in love with her.

I kinda took it as she was in love with him with the whole "I could be your family" line.

Well spotted. I had taken my glasses off by that point. Missed it entirely.

Amy wrote the book!

Considering it was delivered with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, yes.

Dang it BBC America... can't watch your video on youtube... better go watch a promo on Space.ca... Well, then again... Orphan Black is actually Canadian.

Sansa Targaryen is the most unexpected thing I've seen in a long while...

Was that a Judoon? I was thrown by the yellow shirt, couldn't figure out what it was.

New Yorker. Only because I knew a guy with this on a coffee mug.
