After suddenly becoming aware that Castle is still a show on air, I’ve become intrigued by this feuding. Unfortunately, there are conflicting reports about Fillion and Static being the “diva”. Either way, it’s kind of ridiculous, and with the departure of half the show, the show’s probably going to die an ignominious…

That reminds me, I still have those lamb chorizo sausages in the fridge. I will not be eating fifty-one of them, but several.

Apparently so. ABC didn’t renew her contract supposedly for budgetary reasons, but it appears that Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic unfortunately don’t get along anymore, adding to the turmoil. If his perfunctory statement about her leaving is anything to go by, little love has been lost.

I’ve seen Civil War, and no, it’s not necessary. If you know who Ant-Man is and what his power is, you’re fine.

Ant-Man is a pretty fun B-movie film full of Paul Rudd. It’s an alright way to spend a couple of hours, but not crucial viewing.

Conservation of detail most likely (it’s a serviceable name), but I like to think that:

:P

Yeah, you’re definitely on the money though.

Considering that salt is an ionic compound and dissolves in water, it sort of thematically fits in with the tenuous state of being king in Westeros, but I’m not sure why rulers would want to remind themselves of that constantly. Seastone Throne would have been better.

Aside from visual mirroring of Ramsay and Roose to Roose and Robb, I think Carice van Houten did an incredible job of mimicking the world weary expressions of the deglamoured Melissandre, however inadvertent it may have been. That look she gave Davos was a spot on imitation.

Also, was Hodor being called Willis a…

By contrast, Captain America: Civil War is extremely satisfying. Not flawless, but I haven’t come out of a cinema feeling that content in ages. Every character has room to breathe (old and new alike), their arcs tie together well, there is a significant amount of plotting to justify the runtime, and the ending is no…

Vikander had a stellar 2015, so I’m really happy she’s getting a higher profile role like this. In unrelated news, I am actually looking forward to Tomb Raider, particularly if it’s based off of the rebooted games.

Here’s hoping we’ll see some of your many future novels on this and other prestigious lists in the future Charlie Jane. Obviously a site losing its founder is a massive loss, but io9 will be fundamentally poorer without your daily dose of nuance and insight (and the take-downs of films that somehow still found value…

James, you had me excited for two blissful seconds that Nickelodeon was continuing the Avatar cycle. I am afraid you have consequently ruined my day. ;)

I have only the vaguest idea of Rom lore, but his design is endearing, and the art looks fantastic, so I’m in. Let’s do this.

Prepare for Aquaman harpooning the shit out of every living creature, particularly the people who filmed his cameo.

Come on Funimation, just give me a Harmony English release date please!

I’m personally struggling to be supremely enthused as well mainly because Age of Ultron, but I have liked most of the Russo Brothers’ work and their balancing of character development and action (particularly during their Community days). I think I’ll be far more excited after hopefully enjoying Civil War, which, as…

Shame he was never cast as Anakin in the films either, as he would have looked the part as well. Lanter managed to draw so much empathy for Anakin, even in the Rebels finale. A fantastic casting choice.

Darth Buzzkill spares no one. ;)

Unsolicited opinion: some of the Rebels episodes are actually pretty great, while some are very mediocre, but the Season 2 finale is a stellar piece of Star Wars canon (pun intended).

And if you haven’t watched The Clone Wars from Season 2 onwards, you’ve genuinely missed out on some excellent Star Wars stories. Also,…

To be honest, it reminded me a lot of Predator, and so I’m definitely hoping for that claustrophobic atmosphere and tight shots, so that you genuinely feel these are Rebels in danger and on the run.
