The book was released as The Golden Compass in America. Kind of like The Sorcerers Stone for Harry Potter instead of The Philosophers Stone.

There will never be a time when I see Thunderbirds and don't think "Super Mario Nation"

When I say the headline/banner image I asked myself "Kekai Kotaki is that you?"

She beat both of them up, I think this was from the sucky Whedon run.

I feel the same way about LOTR and the Hobbit. I loved the hobbit, but reading Rings was absolutely painful and I barely made myself finish the first book.

I love Kate Beaton, she did this a few days ago.

I was just about to post that the scene reminds me of the fact that Jessica is re-hymenated every time due to VAMPIRE MAGIC

I always thought that the Venture Bros. clone thing was super creepy.

The will do real life matches for wrestling/fighting games right?

Also missed :

Are you the messiah?

The guys who can't cut it have to sashay away.

How many batteries did you go through while reading "Fifty Shades of Grey"?

I was thinking along the lines of "Are you there Maiden? It's me, Sansa".

When I read that there was a pretty, blond, and young man/boy called "The Knight of Flowers" I thought GURRL. When I read he was close to the King's brother, who doesn't like to hunt, "Queens please" immediately came out of my mouth.

I thought Quina was neither/both.

The Tywin/Arya scenes are becoming my favourites in the series.

I'm Latino but at most could be described as "somewhat tan", a large part of my family is also fair skinned. The real problem with Cumberbatch is I don't want to see Sherlock "die" again.

I always found the Arcangel sky sex and the whole Havok/Nurse Annie creepy.

Good call on The Hazards of Love, it completely slipped my mind when I saw the first article about this list. I don't really like The Decemberists, especially the lead singers voice, but I absolutely loved the songs which featured Shara Worden's amazing voice.
