Btw this blog is seriously disappointing and I think the whole thing should be moved to Twitter.

To be fair, I did preempt your disappointment with my opening remarks. I could muse about my job, but if you think you're underwhelmed now, you'd be (more) suicidal (than usual) by the end of the first paragraph.
Today, I will mostly be waxing philosophical about the dramatic importance of midgets in the modern televisual age. See, you don't get many midgets in TV shows without them being marginalised or overplayed for comic effect. Well, I can only think of two who hold the gravitas necessary for meaty roles. That impressive wee fucker from Game Of Thrones and that scary diminutive from Twin Peaks and Carnivale. The top end of Masterblaster from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome gets a notable mention, but doesn't count cos he's not on TV.
Who is the better actor? Only one way to find out. Make them fight. Twin Peaks guy gets to have a broken bottle as Game Of Thrones guy has the obvious age advantage.
Yes, I'm quite aware of the medical distinction between midgets and dwarfism, but for the porpoises of this competition, we'll be defining anyone over 20 years of age and under 3 and a half feet high as a midget.

Dr. Loveless in the original Wild Wild West . Basically the Olivier of the short set.
Actor, singer,concert pianist,genius (IQ 178 ),ladies man , pygmy.
Also see here under personal life that he was the original Master Blaster.
As for Game of Thorns and Peter Dinklage I'm sorry but I haven't been watching it.Since the bittards are all a flutter about the series I figured it couldn't be worth shite.
Btw I glad you didn't mention that Ewok Warwick Davis cunt .

Personally I find it deeply disturbing that any parent would willingly set their child up for that much future abuse.

Interesting, if somewhat tragic.
I can vaguely recall reading that one of the Munchkins from The Wizard Of Oz hanged himself on-set after a day's filming. Actually, it probably wasn't a Munchkin. My memory of it has probably warped so I can sing...

Which old titch? The wicked titch.
Hey ho, the wicked titch is dead'.
Might've been a stuntman (arf).
Peter Dinklage is really worth the admission price and towers above the rest of a strong cast. I predict a Golden Globe for him (not that that means anything). You really should give it a go. It's a slow burner, but what the first couple of episodes lack in momentum, they make up for in tits, incest and bloodshed.

Leave my well-endowed dead midget sister out of this.
Game of Thrones lesbianism.

Of the three "big" series I've been watching (GoT,The Borgias and The Killing),Thrones is the one that has been steadily improving and capturing my interest.
The last half of this week's episode was some of the best TV of the year.
The Borgias languishes save for the presence of Jeremy Irons and to a lesser extent, Michael Muller (Charles VIII).
The Killing is just pissing me off.
