I mean, the show SEEMS to be implying that whatever Arya is doing now is exactly what the Faceless Men wanted her to do, anyway. What exactly that entails is unclear. The show has been rather frustratingly silent on exposition regarding the Faceless Men. I got the impression they wanted her to A) a...

"So, my check said I need a 60% deposit. If go for something more expensive, that means I'll be paying less?" "...no ma'am. It'll still be 60%" "Sure, sure, but if instead I went for a more expensive choice, than that 60% would be lower?" "Sorry, no, it would be 60...

Windows 10 installed itself on my PC last week, whilst I had nipped out to the shops. I am informed that my printer is not supported, and no new drivers will be forthcoming. Thanks Microsoft.

The trailer was mediocre. That said, I think some of the jokes they showed may be funnier with proper build-up and timing, the ectoplasm-puke in particular, so if the trailer mercilessly cut periods of no dialogue, it could be the jokes are funnier. Or it just could be the direct has no sense of com...

i had to snicker a bit at parents who drug their kids out during the show due to blood, tits, and dirty jokes. what the hell were they expecting? hadn't they seen any of the trailers? this is not your normal family friendly superhero, and because of that, it's awesome. My favourite part was the mot...

Whilst I think Mad Max is the best film of the year, I think it would be unfair to say it's the best sci-fi movie of the year - the sci fi in it was pretty minimal, and it was a chase/action movie. TFA was a great experience, but I think it will suffer in retrospect as, as much as I love it, it real...

Holy SHIT that's a lot of space marines for one planet! 16+ companies?! A single planet rarely rates more than a couple of squads.

I just wonder why they'd leave the spitting dinosaur thing the ability to spit goop but maybe they didn't consider it too much of a threat if one escaped unless you were trapped by it and that would be unlikely to happen on a populated island with a security force. Explained in the novel - they did...

That said, I'm not sure this is so much a case where Durkula would benefit from Durkon's memories, unless maybe Belkar can somehow use the Ring of Jumping or another magic item to avoid death. Canonically, the Jump skill can reduce falling damage, but not by nearly enough to significantly reduce th...

Also, terribly sloppy of Durkula to throw an adventurer out a window and just presume him dead. Clearly he hasn't been paying all that much attention to Durkon's memories.

Displaying that curious inability to link together memories and learn something new?

On explaining how much a customer can borrow for a mortgage Me: So, have you put an offer in on a property yet, Mrs Customer? Mrs Customer: No, I figure I'll take out the mortgage now, and pay cash when I find a property. Me: ... I think you'll have difficulty finding any lender who will be able to...

I miss Harley's accent, but then I always did love accents.

I'd be very in favour of paying them more but banning them from second jobs. If an MP is doing his job properly, it's a hell of a commitment and I don't begrudge them earning a commensurate salary. Reminds me of what Douglas Adams said about rhino poachers. If you pay the poacher enough that he doe...

That kids is a walking like a quaking like a psyker does no one else notice this? Also who was that? Huh? The Warp knows you? Why is is the Inquisition not being called? What is going on here? Because anyone you sic the Inquisition onto is taken away and bad things happen to them. Is it straining c...

I would blockade them long enough for their sentries to get bored, then sneak in one night with ship's boats and a raiding crew and cut out their pickets (assuming they've made some attempts to block the twin entrances to the bay) and sacrifice a few vessels to send is as fireships. This is assuming...

Well, ok Vlad Dracula. The son. Similar use of terror tactics.

Of course, Vlad was educated in warfare by his enemies, whereas Ramsay was by.... Locke? A hunter.

Ramsay makes me think of a young Vlad Dracul.

As my friend Alex put it "Maybe they could pay it back in the form of a percentage of their monthly pay, and it could be set up so it just gets taken out of their pay every time, like a kind of pay-as-you-earn thing. Oh my mistake, that's how tax already works . Or were they just looking to add...

How about Avatar the Last Airbender, specifically Ozai vs Aang during the finale?

To make matters worse some influential people in the Conservative party think that Jobseekers Allowance should be treated like a loan to be paid when the claimant gets a job. This is to give them more incentive though what benefit there is to giving someone who's already trying their best more ince...

I really liked the scene. It genuinely upset me, because unlike all the other characters who died, it wasn't utterly blatantly obvious what would happen. I couldn't quite bring myself to believe that Stannis would do it, or that the show would do it. Kerry Ingram and Stephen Dillane both really sold...

Is it too much to hope that they follow the story of Iphigenia to its every detail?

She even carried a little wooden deer with her.

Could be leather thonging, to attatch to the jerkin, getting snug fit. Not sure why, but they seem to prefer it tight. Perhaps so it's not flapping about in those blizzard winds?

Still, fairly light leather armour would protect against sharpened obsidian, I'd imagine.

Wait wait, the lord of the white walkers... is played by the guy who also played Joe Chill? That pun is too amazing to be accidental.

Is his pendant thingy a crow skull?
