I might be more inclined to this it if it wasn't for the fact that last night I watched 'Cyberbully' (a 60 minute TV movie with Maisie Williams) which took the idea of a mysterious online stalker and managed to be absolutely terrifying without delving into supernatural stuff.
It was really effective in getting across the terror of what was happening and actually delivered a really important message in the end. This just kinda looks stupid in comparison.

I'm assuming that D&D will be consolidating her actions into one of the Sand Snakes that have been confirmed. While I'm disappointed Arianne's been cut, I'm not too concerned at this point. The stuff with Arya in Harrenhal were some of my favourite parts in ACOK and when it was changed I wasn't all that enthused. But the back-and-forth's between her and Tywin in the show were just as enjoyable and went on to become some of my favourite parts of the entire series. I suppose what I'm trying to say is, let's see how it pans out in the show before judging it. Honestly the more you view the books and the show as separate entities the more you can enjoy both for what they are. Of course you're right. Tywin and Arya's scenes were in my mind better than what Arya ended up doing in the books. That being said Arianne is one of my favourite characters and I love the storyline of her being next in line rather than Quentyn. Although if that means the Quentyn storyline is cancelled it might all be worth it because that storyline was absolutely dire. As you say though, I'll wait and see before I judge. Just sad one of my favourite character's won't be in the series (much like my devastation at Donal Noye not being cast last season ). Well, if it's one of your favourite characters then, y'know what, you're well within your right to feel a little butthurt. (Please don't take that as sarcasm, as I actually mean it). That sucks that you're losing something you were looking forward to but hopefully whatever the show writers come up with will stil be good. I also really like the setup of the Martell line of succession and really, now that I think of it, it is one the main driving forces behind the plan that takes place. I suppose it could work with one of the Sand Snakes but still it loses that personal edge if it was Arianne initiating it. And yes, as good as the scene with Grenn was, it's a shame that the bad-assery that was Donal Noye never made it to our screens.

Still very annoyed that Arianne has been cut. I've said it before but she's pretty f***ing central to everything that happens in Dorne. Cutting her is beyond annoying. I'm assuming that D&D will be consolidating her actions into one of the Sand Snakes that have been confirmed. While I'm disappointed Arianne's been cut, I'm not too concerned at this point. The stuff with Arya in Harrenhal were some of my favourite parts in ACOK and when it was changed I wasn't all that enthused.

A friend of mine saw Serenity when it was in the cinema and he hated it. In the last few months he watched Firefly, then went back to Serenity and enjoyed it much more.
Take that for what it's worth, I guess.

I think that segment would've been fine enough if Cena didn't throw in "decent human being".
Slapped his father, constantly cheated to win matches, slept with Vickie Guerrero just to have the GM in his pocket, had sex in the middle of the ring, screwed Cena over again and again and again.
Begrudging respect turn to sort-of friendship I can buy. But kayfabe, no way could Cena consider Edge decent.

It is an interesting puzzle. And I don't buy for a second Raegar being Mance Raider. Raegar is dead. Robert would have made sure of it. THAT'S a theory??? Jeez, I must've missed that one on the sub-reddit. I can't imagine the leaps you have to take trying to make that one fit.

I declare for Stannis.
He has the strongest claim, in my opinion he would be a stern but fair ruler and so far he's the only claimant who is acknowledging the true threat to the kingdom.
"Lord Seaworth is a man of humble birth, but he reminded me of my duty, when all I could think of was my rights. I had the cart before the horse, Davos said. I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne."
That is why I'll always back The Mannis.

Top 2 picks are completely right.
I'd have given anything for the camera to have captured Sadistic Sheamus Fan during the beatdown of Jamie Noble...
It's the laughing that makes it wonderful.

Al's speech is 1:10 in length, but I imagine by reducing some of the pauses and removing the "pudding of a woman" line, you could probably get it down to a minute.

I've always been partial to Innocence Lost/Harmful to Minors, eg. Arya Stark or Clementine from the Walking Dead game.
Also I don't know the name of it but whenever someone's evil side manifests physically and takes over completely, eg. Two-Face, Marik from Yu-Gi-Oh, Luna from MLP.

I'd second the OP and say Maisie Williams in GoT is one of the best performances by a child actor I've seen in quite some time.
I'm still annoyed at the fact that she and Charles Dance didn't at least get a nomination at the Emmys for their work together in S2.

Bray Wyatt- great delivery of meaningless nonsense. Well, he is based off crazy cult leaders, so seems like he's doing his job.

I don't know. If it makes people aware of an issue that they may not otherwise have been exposed to, I can't complain too much. I'm sure there's at least three people who ONLY ever watch wrestling, that might make a donation. So, success?

Twin magic is another stupid term that WWE tries to make happen Tries? Look at how many people referred to it as Twin Magic when it happened. They've succeeded.

As far as reasons for Cena to turn, HHH telling him from experience that selling out is inevitable if he wants to last during the older days, is one of the more feasible ones.
