    even if the AD movie was not great I'd still love to see it. even with half the cast.

    the writer is a genius, I'm positive he could make something I'd enjoy, working with whatever actors he gets.

    No, Marcia. The defense doesn't have to prove anything. The prosecution has to. No wonder Cochrane kicked your ass.

    umm the defense does have to explain the proof presented by prosecution, if that proof points to guilt

    cause they argue for not guilty, and all that

    they do have to tell the jury why

    True, but the prosecutor has to prove the point first. From everything I've read about this stupid trial, the prosecutor tried to run with an appeal to emotion.

    Edit: And that "not proven" verdict sounds just horrible.

    And dance with dragons and ghost story ordered on amazon. Because I want hard covers because I enjoy them. For these series at least. I have a signed 1st edition printing of A Feast For Crows. I am very proud of it.

    I love Jaime Lannister in A Song of Ice and Fire.

    Zapp Brannigan said it best: "That young man fills me with hope. Plus some other emotions which are weird and deeply confusing."

    spoilered for a quote of his from the season, later on. no spoilers in the quote but just in case...
    "there are no other men like me. only me"

    I think he's so awesome and yet such an asshole.

    He's awesome from book one, that's for sure. But in the later books
    his character gets a ton of depth and becomes a POV character, so you get to read everything he's thinking. And for as much as you love him as an asshole, you love him even more as a sympathetic character and a hero. It gets troubling because you are cheering for him and feeling for him, yet he's still talking about fucking his sister and putting his awful family first.

    Very end of A Feast for Crows:
    Until he lets Cercei fucking rot in a cell for being such a cunt to him for so long.

    Hedgie, I don't know if anyone has ever told you this, but this thing where you refer to public figures by their first names is kind of annoying in exactly the same way that reading conservatives talking about "Barry Soetoro" is annoying

    you are posting on a forum full of people who are almost certainly not Marcia Clark. maybe try leaving the tsk-tsk, chiding tone for when you're actually addressing someone in the room? Or just not do it at all.

    Yeah, people keep saying "but all the evidence is circumstantial!"

    If I walk into a room, and find someone holding a smoking gun over a dead body, while shouting "I finally did it! I finally killed you, you motherfucker," that, too, is circumstantial evidence.

    It is also more than enough to convict on.
