This is the first one of these that's actually funny.

I looked through as many as I could and realized they were all depressingly sad and not funny.

The depressing sadness is what’s funny. At least to me.

It's like the auto-complete feature on Google search. It's just showing the most relevant version of a table based on what other people are doing.

"Computer, show me a table"

Computer: "Gotchya, one table coming up!" *Plain wooden table materializes*

"No no, not like that..."

Computer: "Ohhhh, I understand now." *Plain wooden table transforms into BDSM torture rack*

Computer: *winks*

I mean, the rest of the description is 100% heartbreakingly accurate. They cast Siddig in a role that was a fan favourite power player in the books and on the show he sits around and does nothing and then gets blindsided by a character who's just kind of... there in the story (of the books, at least). But the show was already unraveling like a frayed rope at that point so it didn't really matter in the end.

Still, they wasted Alexander Siddig. Even loving :twentyfour: got its mileage out of the man for as briefly as he was on it.

I adore Siddig. I dunno why, he just looks and feels (onscreen) exquisite. I can't describe. He's just cool af.

Siddig was really good in The Spy. I forget his name but he played the Syrian president's head of security. edit: Suidani. I wasn't even sure it was him at first because he held his jaw so differently than he usually does. He's this totally humorless clench-jawed villain. Who hates and distrusts the main character and is proved completely correct and wins in the end.

I agree with this, and really, really hope it's not going that path. I'm hoping the Romulans are literally trying to reclaim Romulan drones, or something along those lines.

That is what I immediately thought reclamation meant and I feel certain that's what it is.

When they cast him, I immediately thought of the Grass that hides the Viper speech, and was really excited to see Dorne unite together to get revenge for Oberyn.

Instead, we got the bad pussy and then loving Euron Greyjoy the crazy pirate king (not the mystical warlord who made a deal with someone in the Smoking Seas and is now possibly a lich) killed them all.

No, the long-A version was already very common. It's what we always used in Apple II programming class, for example.

But I do think that Sir Patrick did change the way America pronounces a different word: futile.

I recall Jeri Ryan mentioning something like that. She said the rest of the Borg pronounce futile the British way because of Patrick Stewart, but Seven pronounces it the American way.
