The Obama family traveled to Belfast, Ireland, for the G8 Summit this week, but it's just one of many stops around the world that Air Force One has made with the first family since President Obama took office in 2009.

Today the NSA whistle-blower, Edward Snowden, participated in a reader Q&A with The Guardian, offering details on his incentives, his advice for the government, and his reactions to the public response. Last week, he made headlines when he outed himself for exposing the NSA's top-secret PRISM program, and his story flooded the media as everyone wondered: Who is Edward Snowden?
Today's Q&A forum marks an interesting choice — to answer questions from the public rather than engaging in a standard interview — and over about a four-hour period, Snowden addressed questions posted by commenters and Twitter users who used the hashtag #AskSnowden. Covering everything from Obama's duty to his girlfriend's sudden turn in the spotlight, here are some of the most revealing, compelling quotes from Snowden's responses:

Pilot Scoop: Reign
As we look ahead to all the new Fall shows, we've got our eyes on Reign, a new CW series starring Australian actress Adelaide Kane as Mary, Queen of Scots. With an old-meets-new format that blends 16th-century history with contemporary music and story lines, it promises to be a must watch for fans who've been missing Gossip Girl. Find out why Reign may be your next guilty pleasure!

- What it's about: Young Mary, Queen of Scots, is sent to France to marry the heir to the French throne but gets caught up in a tricky love triangle with him and his half-brother, the king's illegitimate son.
- Where it works: Between the scandalous royal love triangle and the teen ladies in waiting, the show features a fun, tangled web of sexy story lines. Add juicy secrets within the monarchy, a possible ghost, plus modern music from groups like Mumford & Sons, and you've got the perfect Gossip Girl-meets-The Tudors guilty pleasure.
- Where it doesn't: The pilot manages to cover a lot of drama in an hour, and parts of the plot feel predictable. Luckily, I was so into the story that even when I did see something coming, I didn't care — I was just excited to see it play out.
- You might like this show if: You're into racy teen dramas and cool, contemporary takes on history like Marie Antoinette.
- When it's on: Thursdays at 9 p.m. on The CW

What Do You Think William and Kate Will Name the Royal Baby?

As the world experiences royal baby fever, one question seems to top all the rest: what will William and Kate name their firstborn? British bookies have a baby-name spread where plenty of people are betting on potential names, drawing on patterns within the royal family and speculation over which names may be meaningful to the couple. Traditionally, royal children tend to be given classic, historical family names that have been passed down through the monarchy, but will the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge take a more contemporary approach?

As for potential girl names, the queen's middle name, Alexandra, is currently the top bet, but other family names like Elizabeth and Diana are also favored.
