ABC also announced that there will be a teaser for AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. during this Sunday’s season finale of ONCE UPON A TIME. So set your DVR’s!

Tywin Lannister Knows Best

My children. You've disgraced the Lannister name for far too long
My children. You’ve disgraced the Lannister name for far too long

There are stern fathers and then there are cold, authoritarian, self-esteem crushing fathers like one Lord Tywin Lannister from GAME OF THRONES. The patriarch of the Lannister clan is the anti-Cliff Huxtable. He rarely has a kind word for any of his kids and on the off chance that he does compliment them it is usually immediately followed by him cutting them down especially poor Tyrion who he routinely refers to as a “stump”. So in honor of the Westeros Father of the Year I put together a video of all of Tywin’s interactions with his 3 children so you too can marvel at the world class acting of Charles Dance in the role that I don’t think anyone could possibly play better..

The 3 Game of Thrones Character That I Wish Had Already Shown Up On The TV Show

game-of-thrones
I am a huge GAME OF THRONES fan and this current season is shaping up to be my favorite especially if things occur before the end of the season that I expect to occur. However, my love of the show hasn’t stopped me from wondering why certain characters from the books have not appeared on the show yet. I get that George R.R. Martin’s books are massive and filled with legions of characters so the TV show has been creative in merging characters or eliminating characters entirely and giving their storylines to others (its looking like Willas Tyrell’s place will be taken by his brother Loras). That being said I feel that there are three characters we should have met already on the show just because they are impact players who need (and deserve) to be fleshed out a bit more before being plunged into the middle of already established characters and stories. So click onward brave soldiers and be prepared for spoilers aplenty.

Casting A Female Doctor Who

I recently watched a video of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER/BATTLESTAR GALACTICA/TORCHWOOD writer Jane Espenson where she discussed the women of DOCTOR WHO and the conversation turned to the subject of a female Doctor (with Espenson suggesting that ANGEL alum Amy Ackerson would be a perfect casting choice) and it inspired me to do my own bit of wishful casting. So click onward to see my Top 5 choices of who I think would make pretty cool lady Doctors.

Wilfred Mott would have been on this list but I count his appearance in the END OF TIME ep as being a full on Companion
Wilfred Mott would have been on this list but I count his appearance in the END OF TIME ep as being a full on Companion

Everyone has a few throw away or minor characters that have appeared once or twice on DOCTOR WHO that we all grew attached to and wanted to see them become a fixture on the deck of the TARDIS. So I put together my own little list of modern Who guest stars that would have been perfect as full-time Companions.
