Who has a signed issue of Mouse Guard? This guy.
I wonder if actors are ever tempted to subtly insert subtext into their roles. Like when somebody says “I hate them” in a joking fashion, do they ever narrow their eyes for a split second, as if to convey “but really.”

Can we have a Game of Thrones spin-off consisting entirely of Tyrion and Olenna kvetching about their respective families?

This is why I always wondered why Slytherin was full of purebloods. Snape was a half-blood with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. In my personal headcanon, most of Slytherin is actually muggle-born wizards from Surrey who want to kick ass at...

In some ways, I feel that Sunday night’s scene between Tyrion and Tywin summed up the tragedy of the Lannister Family perfectly, and also explored some of the series’s most important themes. Warning: Spoilers below.
Westeros is a world ruled by monsters who dream of being saints. The concept of chivalry not only exists but dominates the imaginations of everybody, from the king down to...
