While I started off liking power sources, I've come to the conclusion that what they really did was limit design decisions (especially from a fluff standpoint). I like to think that WotC has started to think the same, given the hybrid power source classes in Essentials. The Monk is an...

There were parts that I thought worked well, and parts that I thought didn't. I was going to enumerate them all, but it all really boils down to the stuff that made sense and carried through from last season worked. The stuff that was completely out of nowhere and wacky didn't. The two...

Right, but the complaint isn't that they didn't show the battle. It's that Tyroin actually participates in the battle and by all accounts acquitted himself well in it. They could have just shown Tyrion charging off with the Hill Tribes, and followed with the scene on the litter. Sneak in the...

I'd strongly suggest that people read the entire interview (all four parts). Not only is it a fascinating look behind the scenes, but it casts a lot more light on the issue. Summing it up though, it sounds as if there was a lot of pushing by the studio and network that Harmon was fighting back...

Why limit it to DC? To use Mike's example: his diplomacy charm power could be an at-will with the Attack line Diplomacy vs. Will (for example).

I wouldn't describe it as being a klutz, I would describe it as the item being ineffective against the target. A weaker monster might actually take burns from weak Alchemist's Acid. A stronger one dodges better, shrugs off the pain, has tough hide, rapidly wipes it off, and so forth. Now...

So in other words, this is probably going to suck. Ah well. A proper Gamma World game would be very cool.

I thought the Syrio scene was great, and then he did that trip move, which moved it straight into awesome. A beautifully choreographed fight, and left me wanting for a lot more. One nitpick: I like Arya/Syrio's similes, and I've been disappointed she hasn't said any of them. It wasn't a huge...

My bad; I didn't realize. She looks a lot like the prostitute from Winterfell, so I assumed it was her, especially with the line about the North.

The redhead was the prostitute from Winterfell Theon was obsessed with... I forget her name though. How apt. :p Littlefinger explicitly calls it out though, when he's admonishing her ("Is that how you do it in the North?") Very minor book spoiler: As for the necessity of the scene, and...

Crescendo shouldn't end the player's song-stance. I understand the intent - a climactic finish to the song. Even so, it's unduly punishing end the stance and use it up. Contrast it with Power Strike/Backstab; those simply add on extra damage. I think Crescendo would be fine if it only had an...

It's fashionable to hate on Catelyn, because she's rash and emotional and cares more about her family than the Game. None of that means she isn't intelligent. It's a little tough to go into specific examples when we're so early into the show, but I'll try. She susses out why it has to be her...

That matte (or whatever) of the Vale behind Tyrion in the cell looked terrible. I've never been a huge fan of the concept of the Aerie (not really practical, I think), and that didn't help sell it. I liked the scene with Arya and Syrio, since it will drive home . Loved Bronn's shrugs at...

While it would be cool to get some more of Jon's growing pains at the Wall, his arc in the first book is (mostly) superfluous, especially compared to everything else going on. It isn't until Clash of Kings where we start to see his story become more linked to the rest. It's not that it's a bad...

What bugs me the most is that there were some great scenes stemming from it. Ryan and Esposito after they figure out the chief? Amazing. Castle and Beckett fighting for real? Great stuff. I like the action movie explanation. While I didn't like this episode, it doesn't hold a candle to the...

Named after the Emperor of a distant land, perhaps? ;)
