I agree with just about everything you said. There are repercussions for the character's actions. The hero doesn't live to see another day, just because he's the hero. Real hero's die, they make mistakes that get other people killed. They don't get out of a jam because "Magic!" (Though honestly, a few do in this…

It never occurred to me until watching that episode of ask my mom, just how much she resembles Alton Brown.

It's like my nerd worlds are starting to collapse on themselves.

I may be mistaken, but i believe the fox is pretty well sought after for a number of major components in making a Sport quattro replica. That alone makes it NP.

Martin has been very good about "showing" us the body after someone dies, and I can't think of a case where it didn't happen in the same book.

The white walkers are not reanimated dead, those are wights.

For some people anything north of 110th street is Upstate.

It's not really quattro, it's haldex. There's no shaft in your shaft so you can't diff while you diff

That's odd. I only had to tweak the remote settings once after the initial setup. Changing the source settings for my AV receiver after I rewired it recently only took a couple of minutes at most.

There's far more teasing and "flirting" between Theon and his sister in the book.

So they essentially just made a passat allroad. got it.
