Call me crazy, but maybe the guy who produced, wrote, stared as and based the character off his own life, Rick, maybe just maybe has anger issues?

But next you're gonna tell me Grr Martin writing multiple scenes of brothers raping their sisters and extended scenes of underage girls taking long, stinky, squirty diarrhea shits in the woods might have some unresolved issues with women.
Thing is, this isn't always the case. There are numerous writers whose work contains all kind of messed up stuff but are otherwise pretty normal, down-to-Earth people. Being creative also comes with the potential to go into some very messed up territory and sometimes it can be a sign of underlying issues, but that isn't always the case. I'm sure if I met Martin he'd be a pretty swell guy (I hope).

I dunno, its that "I hope" that worries me. Whedon, creep. King, creep. Rowling, creep. If the new Velma show is anything to go by, Kaling, creep.
Feels like every author is a real creep, and we just don't know it yet. I wouldn't want to be alone with Grr Martin that's for sure.

I get where you are coming from, but not every writer, performer, author, or director is some creep or assholes. They're plenty of others that mind their own business, do their job, and actually help others or don't go out of their way to be terrible people. You don't have to praise nor trust every single one of them, but as long as they're not acting up nor intentionally hurting others, I usually don't have a problem with them.

I didn't know they did a sequel to The Accident Man. Comes out next month on DVD/Blu-Ray. First day buy for me!

Don't know why this needs a revival as it already had a definitive ending with a majority of the kids grown up to young adults and about to start college. I'm happy for the fans, but there's really not much left you can do with this show.

I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from. I'll go now.

HP Lovecraft would not do well in the age of social media, that's for sure. I know he's dead, that just sprang to mind and someone who would else up on the wrong end of the twitter Ratio spectrum real quick.

Well, was King just creepy in his books or was he creepy in real life? Same with GRR Martin. With Whedon, Rowling, and Orsen Scott Card we know they are. Roald Dahl also said some unhinged shit about the jews, along with apparently being a bit of a piece of shit father.

Roald Dahl was born in 1916 and went to war in World War 2. So personally I’m surprised it’s only the Jewish he’s said unhinged shit about.

Well, in the original draft of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the oompa-loompas were a tribe of, like, bushmen from Africa that were seemingly happy to be enslaved by Willy Wonka, but then Dahl's publisher (I think) was like 'Uuuuh no, how about we don't do that'. So it likely wasn't just jews that he was fucking weird about, even for that time.
