Not now, Ted. I got problems!

Oh no, certainly not all fans of the book. And it's a tic that certainly can be endemic to any fandom. I wouldn't dare look into what the Fifty Shades fan community thought of the movie, say. But it's always so depressing to see one book-only fan make a snide comment and then see it aggro. And I'm like, 'Is it really…

I've just been shocked at how much he just doesn't come off as really wanting this. He's still leading in endorsements, still got plenty of money, he could do it. But I think he lacks a strong voice, or position. He can't really court evangelicals, he can't embrace the Bush 'legacy' for obvious reasons, nor does he…

- Jeb Bush at the New Hampshire Primaries

It's funny, I had been calling Clinton for a good long while and I had been reasonably cynical enough to think that Jebber was gonna be the nominee on the GOP side. I honestly don't think I've ever been happier to be wrong. As much as Trump's base baiting worries me, and as much as Ted Cruz actively annoys me it's…

Ted Cruz is the annoying neighbor of the sitcom that is the 2016 Presidential Election campaign season.

Oh dear. I may actually have to find a way to watch it this year.

A plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

ASoIaF fandom can get pretty darn tedious at times. Many will write GoT off as 'high budget fanfiction' as if that's a fair assessment. Not since the LotR movies first hit the screens, have I seen a group of fans so willingly denounce a critically praised crossover smash adaption of their favorite series. Game of…

That's right. At the end of season 3 Bran told them to make for Last Hearth.

Weren't they teasing Sansa's storyline in the exact same way last year? Oh well. As long as she isn't raped or beaten horrifically is usually a check in the win column for her.

Dermott would be a great guy to have show up halfway through while Hank is enjoying his new rich playboy lifestyle.

Doc said in an interview over at the Mary Sue that they had something for Orpheus but couldn't fit it into this season, unfortunately.

Presumably also the Last King of Hogsmeade.

With only 11 schools, I think we have to assume that the number of magic-users outside of Britain has to be hugely, ridiculously low.

What's that in quatloos?

Sure, but I guess I expected a little more mystique. You name the British school Hogwart's and I suppose that either you'll be imaginative with the name or try to use local naming customs to make it feel authentic. Particularly when you go through the effort of having the actress who played Luna announce it.

Ilvermorny sounds more a like a great single malt scotch than an overcrowded, American public school of wizarding.

Sooo, the name of the Japanese school is 'Magic Place', basically. Wow. Didja just put that into Google Translate, JK? Criminy.

Yeah. That's the thing. If Kevin Conroy is voicing this oddly soft-looking Batman, I'm not entirely sure what tone we're looking at.
