    The Fast Food Thread

    How does a place named weinerschnitzel not sell weiner, or any other, schnitzel? The most German thing on that menu is the Polish Sausage.

    I loved the idea from the book that one reason for the wide spread was Chinese transplant "donors". Pity that could never make it in the movie for fear of losing the precious China market.

    Renal failure in pets: experience and advice with a side of amphibious bears

    Saying that dogs don't eat fish because they are land mammals is like saying bears don't eat fish because they are land mammals. Pretty dumb, simply put.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Could it be that the Ferengi that the Picard encountered were really just a crew of actors hired to do a "reality" show that would tie in to a toy line and make a ton of money back on Ferenginar?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I hope ep 10 ends with the attack on Castle Black and with Jon finding Ygritte's body in the aftermath. One last jab of the knife to ruin people's ideals of love overcoming differences before the waiting begins anew.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I recently heard the name too but it really fits. Joffrey is poisoned with the Strangler, which is a purple crystal disguised as Amethysts in Sansa's jewelry. The Strangler cuases death by asphyxiation, making Joffrey turn purple. The Red Wedding was called such because of all the blood spilled...

    Book of the Month - Merged

    I really liked how he teased the parallels between Carax and Daniel. The two would drift together than you would say "but wait, Daniel doesn't know . . " The writer really sets the book well, and even through the translation, you really get a feel for Barcelona in the post-war period. Glad this...

    Returning to WoW after 18~24 months...

    I think the best thing they've done with MoP is that you actually have to progress through old content to get to the new stuff. They drop helpful one shot quests like the new boots one but for the most part to do the Throne of Thunder you are going to have to do Heart of Fear. So once you hit 90...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Just like Cersei's bone headed threats in this episode, when a character does something stupid in Game of Thrones it's not because of bad writing, it just that they are having a bad day. When faced with fight or flight, Sam will usually choose flight. Cersei will usually overplay her hand at...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    It is extremely ridiculous that Khan could transport to Qo'noS (spell it right damnit Abrams) from Earth. Ships can and have fought at warp, but you generally have to either merge warp bubbles, since phasers are still limited to sub light speeds, or just fire torpedoes, which can have their own...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Probably reading too much into it. The symbol of the kingly line is a paired stag and lion, so the Lannisters somehow got equal footing when Robert did all the heavy lifting during the rebellion. Also, when you have 2 opposing claimants to the throne that were Baratheon, it makes you less likely...

    The Great Gatsby

    But the book is about the dichotomy between our outward face and our inner desires. You have to have sumptuous, over the top visuals to make it work. It's the background composition and actors job to provide the window into the inner turmoil. The scene where Gatsby is coming in from the rain wet...
