I think it's also worth noting that on the Babylon 5 Facebook page — the one that WB mysteriously took official control of some months ago — they have made an announcement about the WB being at ComicCon, and you should grab their ComicCon schedule, and they have new tv, etc. I mean, there's...

As STANNIS??

I can really see him as the humorless Stannis. I wonder who they're getting to play Melisandre?

If anyone's going to be in London on August 7th, the lovely and talented Claudia Christian is having a pre-Claudia Con dinner, limited to about a dozen people, with special guest Nicola Bryant (Doctor Who's Peri Brown), and of course Claudia herself. Visit the site (link below) for details and...

Chilli, that was quite hilarious (but XKCD often is)! And thanks for the kind words. (BTW, it's Amy. Am I that much of a stranger here these days that people don't know that I'm Amy? Sob!)

Mac, if you're going by old pictures you've seen of me (and it sounds like you're maybe talking about my SyFy-wrapped car photo gallery), you've got outdated information. I've lost quite a bit of weight since then — QUITE a lot, if in fact those are the pictures you mean — and my face has...

Probable, in fact. :-) Thanks very much, Kribu.

And by the way, what I was looking for an explanation of was *what* perspective distortion *is*. That's why I used the fish-eye lens example. What is distorted there? What aspect of my face looks wrong? Because it's pretty much exactly what I see when I look in the mirror, and generally...

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Mac, but like most of the rest of the internet-using world, I'm just going to continue taking my profile/avatar photos with my built-in monitor camera, for good or for ill. I really don't see a problem with this photo for the purposes for which it's intended...

Honestly, I'm a little baffled. I just reread the original comment, and...perspective distortion? Really? What part of me is distorted? That looks pretty much like my face looks. It's not like I have a fish-eye lens on my monitor... Distorted? Really?

Well, this was definitely answered by a *guy*, because a girl would know: blurry is your friend. :-D But seriously, I just snap these pics on just about a weekly basis for Facebook, and they are *always* snaps from my monitor's built-in camera, and they are *always* going to be taken with me...

Mac, you and I don't agree on much, but we agree on this (although I might replace the word "awful" with the word "unsatisfactory" or the phrase "lesser in the B5 canon").

So, was anyone there besides me? Peter performed for us as Londo, reading a passage from "The Gathering" that he particularly liked (it was the bit where he talks to Garibaldi about how the Centauri Empire has been reduced to a tourist attraction, and was in fact what sold him on taking the...

Hi, all. Claudia Christian was supposed to appear at Wizard World/Philadelphia Comic Con, but has cancelled due to a filming schedule conflict. The good news is that Peter Jurasik will be appearing in her place. If anyone in the area is going, I'd love to hear from you! — Amy G.

Weird. I thought the rule with most cable systems is that if you have a premium channel, you have access to that premium channel's OnDemand offerings... You should call your cable company, definitely: it could just be an error of programming and they only need to flip a switch at the central...

hypatia, if you have HBO, you probably also have HBO OnDemand, in which case you can see the previous episodes whenever you want to. Check out your remote and see if you have an OnDemand button, or look on your Guide or Menu sections!

No, it's definitely stated explicitly in the books, because I haven't read the appendices yet and I know I've read about it. And, I believe it's early in book two where we learn about Jorah's wife and how Danaerys resembles her.

I haven't gotten to any change of heart in the books yet, so I can't help you there. I do think we've heard both Mormont's names on the show, and didn't the Old Bear (the Lord Commander) tell someone something about his disappointment about his son already? Or was it another character who...

HA, just for that hilarious line (you made me literally LOL!), but yeah, I do agree with you. It was one of those super-awkward "I'm giving you exposition now!" scenes that have to be handled really carefully by a really expert actor, otherwise they come off as just plain clunky. Really? The...

Hey, was anyone else bothered in tonight's episode by....leaving spoiler space... * * * * * * * ...Joffrey looking so distraught as Robert lay dying? In the book, he was so nonplussed by his father's death that when someone (can't recall who) told him he was sorry for his loss some weeks later...
