    Y U NO GAME OF THRONES THREAD?!

    Heh. I disagree quite strongly with this, BUT the TV show is surprising its failure to be much worse.

    It says in the story that she came on wearing a wig, and removed it during the panel...

    Guardians of the Galaxy

    I'm not such a fan of the totally bald look, but I love a pixie cut, and that's the obvious next stage when she starts growing it again. *waits expectantly*

    What's your favourite cheese?

    Australopithecus... I used to think you were a decent chap, but now... I... I just... Anyway, favourite cheese? That's really tough, actually.

    Iron man 3 rant (Spoilers and hate aplenty)
