Yeah, that's been really inconsistent. Shelly's creature is monstrous to the point of extreme public panic whenever he shows his face in public. John Clare, on the other hand, tends to get by pretty well without hiding himself. The makeup isn't horrifying at all, just a couple of scars and a bad complexion, there are

@10@10Cities:disqus It's not so much being bad at politics, it's just a lot harder to brand Liberal/Progressive ideas because they tend to have some nuance. It used to be pretty hard for Republicans, too, until they decided to adopt the crazy-pants, caveman version of what were once nuanced positions. "TAXES BAD!!"

I think that's the film equivalent of throwing away a gun when you run out of ammunition. It's just an helpfully obvious "Yup, this thing's empty," for the viewing audience.

The best I've seen where they showed the whole creepy thing was an early Farscape episode. Just as icky as you would imagine.

God, Terry Gilliam would end up with something that took 15 years, rated NC-17, nearly killed half the cast and sent the actress playing Alice into an insane asylum for the next five years.

It's clearly Corben Dallas's herpes.

When I walked out of the theater after watching Fifth Element, I remember turning to my friend and saying, "You know, creating a magic weapon that requires the four earthly elements of air, wind, fire, and water, plus a fifth mysterious element that ends up being "love" is exactly the kind of thing I would've written

When the show started I wasn't super impressed. It was the second episode (the seance one) that blew me away and hooked me forever (the good part starts around 3:10) https://www.youtube.com/wat… Here we've got Eva Green in a performance pitched to the rafters with very few music cues or other sounds to manipulate us,

Eh, I keep the various flavors of NCIS on the DVR. They're perfect for when you're not really paying attention.

Huh, well they SORT-OF used my idea, only in a somewhat dumber, big evil action kind of way. Really wish Rip and the team could've figured it out by themselves instead of through a villain monologue, and I wish the Time Masters weren't working directly with Evil Bearded Overlord, but, eh . . .

Can't wait until next year's "Chicago Streets and Sanitation".

You've gotta wonder if Gwyneth Paltrow is just trolling, at this point.

Honestly, I kinda wanted to see it turn into a PI show with Castle, his daughter, and that one super-spy lady that just kinda hangs around, all doing regular PI stuff like divorce cases and missing teenagers. After Castle finally recovers from that stroke he suffered about five seasons ago when he started legitimately

That works too, but I still like the "multi-week alternaverse" thing. Because, invariably, those episodes are the most fun. You can do crazy things with the characters and kill off whomever you want with no repercussions. You can do silly, terrible stuff or you can do grand, insane, demented stuff, all with characters

Impressions can be fun, but they also have to be funny. Frank Caliendo tended to be pretty good at the former and mostly awful at the latter. As soon as people get past "Hey, he does a damn good John Madden" he ranks somewhere between dull and kinda embarrassing, like a hack stand-up bombing at an open-mic night in

I'm going to ignore that you're apparently asking the "why read the book if you've seen the movie?" question.

My thinking is that he just knows he can't succeed in the fight against the White Walkers as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. When he tried he got killed for his efforts. Regardless, I think his focus is still on the White Walkers, he's just considering another way to fight them.

There was quite a bit in the first season, actually. When Ned sees Jon off to The Wall, he tells him that when he returns from King's Landing, he would tell Jon the truth about his mother. There was also a lot of needling from Robert Baratheon that it was out of character for the noble Ned Stark to have taken up with

Three. Ghost, Summer, and Nymeria.

Oh yeah, one of the last storylines where Martin was still ahead of the show ended tonight when Arya got her eyesight back. Besides that, in the books Jon's still dead, Daenerys has yet to be picked up by the Dothraki, Myrcella and what's his face in Dorne are still alive, and Tyrion has yet to take control of
