    Something tells me AltWalt will be quite sane and quite scary.

    Also he'll hate to be called AltWalt. And he can probably read this somehow so I'd better stop tyf=y3ht0y8op;/////////////////////////////////

    @Makidian: Something tells me that Alt-Walt might be instrumental in the Alt-U's war against Our-U, motivated by the theft of his son. Something along the lines of "You stole my son, now I'm going to destroy your universe."

    As if Marvel actually cares about Fahir returning to the Iron Man sequel. They replaced an actor for a core character, they can easily replace a minor character, who's undoubtedly a henchman.

    Am I the only one exited about the Game of Thrones HBO series? I ask because I don't see much news for it outside of George R.R. Martin fan sites. Maybe it's outside the more sci-fi oriented scope of io9.com.

    Anyway, they finished up photography in Scotland and Morocco for the pilot yesterday, and everything I'm hearing makes it sound like it was a very positive shoot. That said, it could be as late as March (though it'll likely be sooner) before we hear whether or not HBO is ordering more episodes.

    *Fingers crossed*

    @atrus123: No, I'm totally looking forward to it. To be honest, I never read the books for some reason, but when I first heard about the series, I was instantly intrigued. Hope HBO doesn't screw it up...(Sorry, I'm still bitter about Deadwood & Rome.)

    Three hours of "Chuck" in one week? Oh, momma! Bring it on!

    I'm trusting the writers to keep Chuck (the character) likable and relatable even though the Intersect has the potential to make him an action hero god.

    Kenneth Branagh should have written himself in as Fandral.

    And Brian Blessed would make a much better Volstagg than Odin.
