Anna Gunn has a character issue

Anna Gunn, who plays Skyler White on the TV series Breaking Bad, wrote an op-ed in the New York Times, complaining about the hate that she receives from fans for depicting the character. This hate seems mainly driven by mysogeny, which is all the more reason to make people aware of the problem. Read the article.

My stance on various ASOIAF conspiracy theories, part 39

I still have no internet. I could murder the company guys. So I still can't post regularily.
This is the thirty-ninth article of the series. Since there are a lot of theories floating out there and I'm asked often enough what I think of them, I thought I write it down. You can then laugh about me when I am totally proven wrong by "The Winds of Winter" or something like that. Rules are as follows: you put a question about any theory or plot element (really, let's stress "theory" a bit for the sake of interesting questions) either in the comments of any theory post or by mail (stefan_sasse@gmx.de) and I will answer them in an upcoming post. And if you now ask "Stefan, isn't this a shameless rip-off of Sean T. Collin's "Ask me anything"?", I would tell you to shut up, because you are right.
Prepare for part 39. Spoilers for "A Song of Ice and Fire", obviously.

My stance on various ASOIAF conspiracy theories, part 38

Sorry for the long delay. As I wrote, we moved, so no time and no internet connection. The latter will remain an issue for at least a week, so stay patient. :)
