I think, with Akira, part of the issue is that it’s so centered on the way that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki fundamentally changed the course of Japanese history. You’re not just transplanting a crime story or replacing samurai with cowboys.

The only example I can think of would be if you changed the setting…

I agree it’s a big stretch. Shae sticking around in Kings Landing had an unbelievable feeling to me in the same vein as the last act of a bad horror movie where people decide to stick around at the haunted summer camp after a clearly incompetent local cop declares all of the earlier killings were done by a rabid…

I sincerely don’t remember the relevant details of how the show may have shaded some things differently than the books so I’m coming from a book perspective here, but ... I think it’s a mistake to assume Shae functionally had a choice about this stuff. Saying no to either Cersei or Tywin is asking for torture if not…

He wasn’t turning them into zombie wights, he was transforming them into full White Walkers.

That’s not fair.

Alexis has become one of my favourite characters on television. She’s self-absorbed without being hatefully so with a surprising depth and throwaway lines pointing to an incredibly dark past that points to that self-absorption being how she’s been able to cope and survive. The scene with her being on stage for her…

Martin painted himself into a corner partially because of his world size. There was never any way one could effectively communicate the world size in TV form. Nobody wants to watch hours of characters traveling and having an existential crisis. Hell, not that many people want to even read that either. By entertaining…

We do live in an era where if you take a world map onto the street and ask random people to point to the US 8 out of 10 can’t do it...

Nobody said it was a good plan.

The answer is simple; Ron Moore and co. had no idea how to bring Starbuck back or why, when they did, she would have this map in her head or something to find earth.

That blood magic would later resurrect Drago as Aquaman. 

Remember when Jessie pulled Bob the Dummy’s head out of its socket and Bob SCREAMED?

I had to get tested for it to get hired at a job once.  I got the job.  I do not know if that means I have TV or I don’t.  

I don’t think I want this

Funny enough, we’ve covered exactly that in a past Wiki Wormhole:

Tom Cruise’s career is a very serious issue in our society today. You shouldn’t joke about it.

From a report on a Rennsport Reunion, “Of the 19 917s produced, all 21 were present.”

Puddinghead is a long time, consistent member of the AVC commentariat. Back when there was actually a community here it wasn't uncommon to see multiple people read and comment on nearly every article posted. Unfortunately the quality has dipped significantly in the last couple years and all that has changed…
