| Missandei's book character was the most different of all the cast from book to show portrayal.Book Missandei was like 10 and more of Daneyrus' adopted daughter than her handmaiden and possible lover as on the show.I just reread her book sections, anyone else think she had Savant syndrome? |

Ironclad, it had an interesting cast, James Purefoy,Brian Cox, Paul Giametti and Aneurin Barnard, before While Queen turned him into a sex symbol.
Otherwise it was just a gory Seven Samurai rip off set in King John's reign, very historically inaccurate of course. |

| Nicholas II has been canonized as a passion bearer by the Russian Orthodox Church, and as a martyr by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia. The man was not a moron. While Nicholas almost certainly had an IQ over 70 because he spoke several languages, he was incompetent and made the wrong deci... |

| I know there are a lot of amateur and even professional historians on the forums here. Has anyone ever written about the possibility that certain monarchs and world leaders had Aspergers? I remember hearing on C-SPAN about an author suspecting that Calvin Coolidge may have been on the spectrum. Here... |

| Joy Division had what I deem to be the greatest debut album of all time. They are one of the most influential bands of all time in my eyes. However, I couldn't care less if they make it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Joy Division, whether recognized or not, has always been a strong part of my l... |

| A lot of bands who technically should be there because they were very original, but will not be due to the fact that their music will never be radio freindly enough to earn the major record companies a lot of money. --The R&R HOF is really nothing more than a bauble to celebrate the fact that p... |

| Surely Joy Division/New Order must be strong contenders? I don't know who is currently in. I found an article listing possible 2016 inductees (artists who first released a song in 1990), and Blur were the stand outs. Others include Alice In Chains, Fugazi, Smashing Pumpkins, and The La's, plus Ice ... |
