Genocide. But, y'know, they were Daleks.

Huh, like Flight of the Living dead.

I need to find that film, it looks *amazing*.

To be honest if they pitched this as a series about the devil quitting hell to run a bar and solve crimes with nothing whatsoever to do with the comic I'd be fine with that. I'm not sure why they bothered securing the rights if they're going to move this far away from the source material, it seems like a pointless…

Oh, come on, AV Club, only one comment? I've been enjoying this extremely naff adaptation of one of my favourite comics despite myself and I was looking forward to some erudite discussion/merciless mockery/enraged hate-watching diatribes. Step up, people, you can do it.

That's an even better name for a band.

Then how about 'Today's Iniquities'? Or 'Trouncing Indigestion'? Or 'Truncated Insidiousness'? With a title that meaningless the article could then be about anything at all and we could babble away underneath it without feeling any unease about being hopelessly off topic. Maybe 'Torpid Industry'… actually that…

Edgar Allen Poe married his first cousin as well, and he was an American.

He burned the cakes. I know that, historically, he probably never did actually burn some cakes in a peasant woman's hut but for some reason that brought a massive smile to my face, even if it was just a moment.

The weirdest thing about the whole British villain thing is how few historical pieces have been made about the Empire. We were proper villains then, conquering the entire world and committing atrocities everywhere, but we're villains *now* instead. Aside from some dubious stuff in Sleepy Hollow and Sharpe (in which,…

It does but it comes from a french word where the 'h' isn't pronounced. Much as it bugs me (and it makes me want to dig out my red coat and take up my musket every time I hear it) they're closer to the original than we are. Damn it.

He does and they do but I wouldn't say we're supposed to root for anyone but Uhtred and Brida.

Seeing some comments on here that are a little dismissive of the problems with the game, which is fair enough, but please understand; the game is currently unplayable. It's not just the shoddy framerates, there are huge amounts of clearly missing textures, unaccountable crashes and once, when I tried to verify the…

Maybe, but I think the show runners would have cut Beric Dondarrion completely from the series if that was the plan. I honestly think she'll have to go to Thoros and his lot, though a plotline of the next season being Sansa, Melissandre, Brienne, Pod, Theon/Reek and Edd collectively saying 'sod the North' and…

Ah, so a believer in GRRM's 'the final book will be six hundred pages of snow drifting over graves' claim? ;). I doubt it, to be honest, it's possible that the whole R+L=J thing is nonsense but if it *is* then the only way to resolve it is to bring in some new player to take the throne (which wouldn't exactly be very…

That was my first guess but it occurred to me that they've already had Beric Dondarrion in the show and if he doesn't give his life to resurrect Jon (which I now realise I spelled incorrectly in the OP) he would surely be completely pointless?

Surely 'Jon Targaryen rises again'?

Wild speculation time! (*Possible spoilers… if GoT spoilers are even a thing any more?*).

If it's a Baratheon it's Gendry, otherwise it's definitely Daenerys. I suspect Gendry will be coming back next season, maybe turning up at the wall and getting involved with the mess up there. Maybe. It seems unlikely they'd just completely forget about a likely claimant to the throne, 'he rowed off and was never…

You left out that that execution was carried out by guillotine, because nothing that ever happened near him was ever a half measure o.O.
