I'd imagine you'd do decently as part of the common citizenry in King's Landing. There's great poverty and occasionally some army might try to invade, but you'd also be pretty well defended and far enough South to not suffer the worst of the winter (should it ever happen, considering the first episode of the series…

Thank heavens for white people and their magical ice!

'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters 2'

"Replacing worship of God is the prophecy of a Chosen One, living in
secret among the people, who will arise to lead humanity to salvation."

A quick note on Baldrick's final cunning plan. What gives it an additional layer of pathos is the hint that this might actually have been the plan which could've saved Blackadder's life. Right before delivering his signature catchphrase, Baldrick notes that there's a splinter on the ladder out of the trenches which…

This is all very well and marvellous. But I assume the announcement about Ser Pounce becoming the sole focus of the show until Martin writes a few more books is coming later?

This guy seems a bit of a prat, but he did do one extremely cute interview with Allison Williams.

I don't think he was out of control at all. He knew from the moment he smelt Freddie on Will that he was going to be betrayed. He offered Will the chance to save himself, and when it was not taken, knew exactly what had to be done and set about preparing for the destruction of those he loved with the cold precision…

Well yes, I made the mistake of using humanity in the icky Star Trek sense of meaning empathy and compassion for your fellow man. In that respect, the Trek humanity Lecter had been feigning for so long was stripped away to reveal the Chesapeake Ripper standing victorious. In a more honest definition of humanity,…

Absolutely, he was monumental from start to finish. I don't think I've ever seen an actor not only portray absolute evil and destructive power to such a terrifying degree, but to bring it out by exploding it from beneath the surface of an existing performance. Phenomenal.

Can you imagine if Hannibal hadn't been renewed and that had been the series finale? I'd have been laughing for days at the sheer audacity of Hannibal effectively killing all the series leads and getting away with everything. It would have been my all-time favourite series finale.

I watched this the other day, the messages bit absolutely kills me no matter how many times I see it. Homer's chirpy delivery, particularly the high emphasis on 'cube', Mr Burns looking less and less impressed with every fresh message, and the sheer silliness of what is being read out is just too perfect, capped off…

Constantine is probably the only one I'll take a look at - although A to Z might get a cursory glance because Cristin Milioti - but Matt Ryan's performance looks a bit rough from the trailer and his look lacks essential grunginess. Shame he doesn't smoke. I like me some occult weirdness though, so fingers crossed.

Community on an even more reduced budget could only be a monument to compromise. *BURRRPS*

I'm still secretly hoping someone will bring back Victorious.

Timothy Dalton, huzzah! Easily my favourite non-Connery Bond - Licence To Kill and Living Daylights are both among the best the series has produced - and by all accounts an absolutely lovely, eccentric chap with a great deal of passion for his work, which very much comes across in this interview. So pleased that he's…

NBC: "I don't want to kill you anymore, Dr. Lecter, now that I finally find you interesting."

Well, at least it got to go out on a relative high compared to how depressing it would have been if last season had been the final one. It had a fine run, all things considered.

Laugh track snobbery. The idea that a laugh track is an indication of a comedy being lazy or needing to 'tell people when to laugh' is so ignorant it beggars belief. Has it never occurred to these doofuses that different material suits different styles of presentation and a laugh track exists not to telegraph jokes,…

Wasn't mad about this, honestly. It felt like the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen with all the vibrancy and madness taken out, leaving behind a slightly flat supernatural period piece. Hartnett feels very out of place and while Eva Green is as delightful as ever (I bet she'll be made to say 'demi-monde' a lot over…
