I hope Varys' mission does not dovetail with the way "A Dance With Dragons" ends.

Apologies if this has been said (close to 500 comments right now), but wasn't the reason Elizabeth Taylor won for "BUtterfield 8" was that, during the voting period, everyone in Hollywood thought she was about to die? I read once that Debbie Reynolds said that she even voted for her that year.

Ohhh!!!!! Thank you! I saw Ratzenberger's name in the cast, and was wondering what he had done. Your Pixar explanation covers that. I had just assumed that the 3D characters were extrapolated from the Oakley/Weinstein Treehouse of Horror.

Reminds me of how some people gloss over how much pain and anguish St Thérèse of Lisieux endured during her struggles with tuberculosis. It diminishes the power of "the Little Flower" to treat her prolonged, horrible death (at age 24, no less) as a mere transition to the afterlife, but that does not stop people from…

Shipp is good, though. I saw him play Gerry in Brian Friel's "Dancing at Lughnasa" on Broadway, and he did a fine job of it. Plus he and some other cast members sold scones before the show.

Spike will be happy
