Pacific Rim was the best massive-robots-vs-massive-dinosaurs movie I have ever seen. They did really well to deal with a bunch of the larger plot problems (why big robots? why two pilots?) right up front. I have a small pile of nitpicks (yes, including nuclear=analog=what?), but it got stepped on by giant freaking robots fighting giant freaking dinosaurs.

Also, after you have a daughter you can't watch scenes of scared young girls. It's...I'm going to stop thinking about it now.

It bothers me that Vikings seem to always get some sort of Scottish accent. It makes no sense.

I still want to know how you're going to quilt me into watching cowboys.

Wait, guilt? Oh, that's not as interesting.

Well he's given a rough outline of the remaining plot to the show producers, so the show could just roll on past the books and the books catch up later. See also: If he dies. He almost seems more concerned about finishing the TV series than the book series.

I also can't see them doing two TV seasons per book for books 4 and 5. I assume they'll mix the plotlines together, but at most you'd get two or three seasons out of the two books. Noooooothing haaaaappens for looooooong stretches.

I did the audiobooks. Haven't a foggy how to spell anyone's name I can pronounce them all though (and get annoyed when the show does it WRONG I TELL YOU WRONG! It's VAY-lar mor-GUL-is)

Another bit regarding Jon's Targaryen roots: His stab wound is described as 'smoking' at the end of book 5. Then again, he did take quite the burn from a lantern in book 1, which doesn't line up with dragon blood.

Incidentally, is anyone else annoyed with the number of people who are 'dead' but (probably) not really? Brienne and Jon are currently in limbo. There were Cat and Gregor too, though they are seriously changed and follow the trend towards introducing more magic. Theon got a fake-out death too, and the fake over Arya's sight also annoyed me, though mostly because she just vanished for at least half a book.

What Trey said, it's not the dress or the bow. It's the sudden loss of some internal organs and the 'come hither' eyes.

I can hear an opening "The What are you doing movie? archives", playing both off the website and from the download. It's a short 'intro' but definitely there, and there is a "friendsinyourhead.com" at the end.

Can the forum/forums link forward thing work again?

Pretty please?
