or a smatchet, part machete part bolo.

Whine some more, asshole. After you do, go fuck yourself.

I ate 17 carbs while reading this article.

True, centuries ago they were responsible for unfathomable bloodshed and havoc. However, this is an argument I hear all too often to excuse the state of Islam in this century. The fact that Christianity accounted for so much misery centuries ago in no way diminishes the barbarity in the Islamic name committed now.

All the Darin Morgan episodes are phenomenal.

Would not want to piss of that guy.

Morgan and Wong (perhaps my favorite pair of X-Files writers), went on to do interesting stuff — including the original Final Destination movie and American Horror Story. Rob Bowman didn't write for X-Files, but now does Castle. Charles Grant Craig went to Eureka (and Brimstone, which I admit I enjoyed). Darin…

Ah, Kill Switch. That episode had one of my favourite TV quotes of all time:

Am I the only one who has thought an interesting plot twist/device/whatever... Would be to have Mulder and Scully be - at some point - replaced by two other agents with a similar chemistry??? However Mulder transitions into and becomes the new Deep Throat and Dana takes over as Asst. Director, or some derivation…

How has no one mentioned Freaky Links yet? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreakyLin…)

Anyone who believed that they had the ending figured it out has no idea how television work. Hell, they mention on the audio-commentary of Season 1 that they did not know what was in the hatch when they wrote the hatch. I listened to that between Season 1 and 2, and I never got frustrated with the mysteries…

I never bought the whole Shannon-Sayid romance. It felt forced.

Robert Arryn had to be changed to Robin Arryn so that no one would get confused between a sickly boy and ... a portly king.

I was reading the rather lengthy Entertainment Weekly online article about Game of Thrones, and it pointed out something that I hadn't noticed. The show has never really discussed who sent the catspaw to take out Bran Stark while he was in a coma. There was discussion on who owned the blade, when Catelyn brought it to…

Wights are reanimated dead. There's really no point in making reanimated babies unless they're just there to spook the shit out of you, so only other theory is that they're being turned into Others. Don't forget in the books there's also rumours/legends that the Others have never been born (meaning they're made, not…

There's things that they have added to the shows that have not been bad; the example that struck me as the best was in Season 1 when Cersei talked of the child she had that was definitely Robert's, but who died very very young. Such an addition helped make Cersei a more complex character, and it added an interesting…

You bring up something that the haters in the comments threads forget about: when D&D are improvising, they're often more rushed than Martin is (... since Martin hasn't been rushed since the 1990s or so) and so their additions to Game of Thrones are not always good.
