    Somebody over at Reddit made a cool find. That pic is from one of Bran's visions in season 4, episode 2.Here's a comparisonof what we saw Sunday.

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    It was their first show. It'll be refined and change over time. I've been watching Real Time since it started on HBO, and that show has changed quite a bit over the last 10 years. I did like that it's longer than TDS, since there are no commercials. I also liked that it's not censored. The...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Well, there'sthis videothat retells the tale of the Night's King and his queen. Based on that, I'm thinking that the Night's Queen is The Great Other. She gets killed, but like Azor Ahai, is reborn every few thousand years to do battle with R'rllor's forces. Since she hasn't been reborn yet...

    HBO has confirmed that the Darth Maul walker is the Night's King.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    All we know is thatsomewildlings worship The Others. Craster gives up his male children (of which he could have had many), and they're taken to some sort of altar where the babies are turned into white walkers. White walkers can turn corpses into wights. This new thing turns babies into white...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That thing had horns that kind of looked like a crown. It's face wasn't as wrinkled and freeze-dried like the others we've seen. Since we know it turns babies into what we've seen so far, it's plausible that it's The Great Other.

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    They're distancing themselves from the EU, but not disowning it. That'll allow them to cherry-pick the popular parts and ignore the stuff that didn't work.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Yeah, Joss Whedon hasmade statementsthat a Planet Hulk/World War Hulk movie isn't happening.

    Amazing Spider-Man 2

    The movie was mediocre at best. Subjective and all that, but the thing that totally threw me was the mid-credits scene... What the fuck was that all about? Are Sony and FOX going to start sucking each other's cocks to try and get more cross promotion going on, or what?

    Under the Skin (2014)

    There's apost on Redditwhere a guy did a comparison of her boobs over the last few years. It was kinda creepy and awesome at the same time.

    Californication

    Charlie is the punching bag. That's his part in this. He takes the punch and gets back up. He's an underdog. Besides, most of the shit that happens to Charlie isn't that bad. The shit that happens to Hank typically is way worse, and they use Charlie's mishaps as a way to show us that. Odds are...

    Vikings

    Tonight's episode rocked. And it made me wish Vikings wasn't on basic cable.

    The Machine

    I'd give it a solid 3/5. It was OK. Nothing that will blow you away. Caity Lotz is good in the part, but the writers didn't do anything interesting with the character. Oh, I suppose her baby voice gets kinda annoying after a while...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    August, 2014 -> May 2015 = 8 months They have 4 new series (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage) that will be debuting on Netflix, probably during that 8 month period. They're all supposed to have 13 episodes, culminating in a 4-8 episode Defenders cross-over miniseries. With...

    Vikings

    Ragnar and Floki have been friends for a long time. It was Floki's construction expertise that allows them to the build boats that could sail them to England (of course it was Ragnar's sunstone that allowed them to navigate in cloud cover). Floki is pissed because he's gotten nothing since...

    Arrow

    Not really Arrow related, but I found a decent copy ofThe Machinewith Caity Lotz last night, and gave it a watch. It was better than I thought it'd be, but not awesome or anything. They had some neat ideas for the singularity, but ultimately it was an above average B-flick. Caity Lotz in a skin...

    Vikings

    The show is loosely based on historical figures, but that history is mostly made up of bullet points anyway. The Vikings weren't exactly good record keepers, so most of what we know about their history comes from songs and epic poems and such, which could be passed down from generation to...

    The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

    John Stewartis the highest paidTV personalityon late night television. John Oliver already got his own show. On HBO. Colbert Report will be replaced by another parody/satire news show, likely hosted by another Daily Show alumni. If I had to put money on it, I'd say it'll be a woman or a brown...

    The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

    Here's an interview with Colbert and Neil deGrasse Tysonwhere Colbert isn't in character (for the most part). I think he's a brilliant choice for the Late Show.

    Vikings

    Vikings didn't get renewed until after the 4th episode had aired, which means the other 6 are probably already finished, or close to done. It's kind of hard to do a series like this when you don't know if you'll be getting renewed, so they go for ratings, which means hitting the big stories and...

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    Apparently when you grow up watching American television, movies, and listening to our music, you pick up the American accent pretty easily. Kinda explains why Hollywood has been importing actors from the UK and Australia for the last 20 years or so: They're better trained and are cheaper to boot.

    Lucy with Scarlett Johannson (wholly crap)

    Yeah, but not at the same time. How the fuck is "magic spider bit him"any fucking differentthan "magic drugs" allow ScarJo to psychokinetically toss motherfuckers around? Oh, right. It's not any different. Science fiction is fiction based on fucking science. Science from the present...

    The Walking Dead

    Criticism is a vital function of improving the world. What you call "nitpicking", we call "improving the future by shitting on the past and present".

    Arrow

    Great episode tonight! Unfortunately the DVR copy I was watching had WGN news cut in at the half hour mark to have the Pres talk about the Fort Hood shooting. 6 minutes of "We're still gathering information, and the people who should be on the case are on the case". When they finally got back...

    Lucy with Scarlett Johannson (wholly crap)

    That's a really good point. Superhero movies aren't science fiction, they're modern fantasy. They don't get into the hows and whys, they expect people to accept that radiation can turn people into the Hulk, just like they expect people to accept that a ring can turn midgets invisible. "Don't...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Ugh, that was the best part of the episode... And yeah, there are some better torrent versions of TWS out there, but the one I saw was still pretty bad. Lots of camera shaking, and they cut it at the credits, so you don't get to see the mid-credit tease or the stinger at the end of the...

    Prometheus (Alien 0) - 1 Year Later

    Hey guys, instead of bitching about medical inconsistancies, lets talk about Vickers trying to get out of the path of a massive rolling space ship by running directly along the path that it's rolling.

    Lucy with Scarlett Johannson (wholly crap)

    If people "used" 100% of their brain all the time they'd be unable to function. It'd be like a lightning storm in their brain, causing epileptic seizures and a complete loss of bodily functions. You wouldn't be a superhero, you'd be a shit-stained vegetable that is constantly convulsing and...

    Captain America: Winter Soldier

    There's nothing wrong with nitpicking. I think it's healthy, since good nitpicks force writers to come up with better stories. That's why critics exist. Uh, they were? SHIELD was making tesseract-based weapons in the first Avengers movie, and everybody (Stark, Captain America, Banner...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Yes. It was a scene from The Winter Soldier, but it was cut like it was part of the episode. Makes me think that sequence was supposed to be taking place at the same time as the episode. What you missed... The way they weaved that into the episode was great.

    The Walking Dead

    Well, you also have to remember that playing catch-up with shows that are still running is a hell of a lot easier now a days than it was even ten years ago. You've got on demand services from most cable and satellite providers, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and so on. Prior to all those services...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    It's totally worth watching the original run. It's dated, but they deal with a lot of scientific history and that hasn't changed. Here's episode one. The rest are there too.
