Zak Sally will be at Wizard World Minneapolis
Author and historian Danny Fingeroth sent along his panel programming for this weekend's Wizard World Minneapolis, and whatever the ongoing controversy, it is fair to say that WizWorld programming has improved quite a bit. While looking through the programs, we noticed that one participant is indie comics stalwart Zak Sally</a> of La Mano Press, Sammy the Mouse and more. Let's just say that if there is one person we never expected to see at a Wizard World show it's Zak Sally. Maybe he will hang out with "social media sensations" Nash and Hayes Grier and Nathan Fillion, and then the circle will be complete.

Sean T. Collins has a post about the recent rape problems on the show that kind of echoes what I'd been thinking. Basically, that the Jamie/Cersei rape scene wasn't necessarily a fatal misstep, given that we don't know where these characters are going...but the problem is that it probably wasn't meant to be a rape scene by the producers, a view supported by the confused interviews they've given about the scene in question.
