I agree. I often get frustrated with book to screen adaptations due to the screen adaptations usually over sexualizing and focusing on less important aspects, just to gain popularity.... it often does the written version an injustice and loses rewarding character development. I get that ‘sex sells’ and blah blah but…

No, I’ve been covering the development of the series for the past few years.
I’ve said before and I’ll say again, I HATE what they’re doing to Sybill. She’s not Batwoman. Her entire thing is that she’s a “big” woman, with a personality and will to match. Her size leads people to continually underestimate her, and it just feels like such a fundamental part of her character to throw away so they…
Can you imagine being a scriptwriter egotistical enough to have a copy of Terry Pratchett’s Guards! Guards! and Night Watch to hand and thinking, “No, I’m a much, much better writer than Pratchett. I’ll just use the names and make up my own stuff.” The arrogance of it is absolutely breathtaking.
You know what I loved the most about that scene? The subtle implication that stormtroopers don’t actually have lousy aim, but are simply limited by crappy equipment issued by a faceless bureaucracy and built in bulk by the lowest-bidder. Like, you know, an actual military.
Yes, it’s a shitty adaptation plot. In the books, human sources are inherently mutants (Chaos alters them) and, due to it, they become sterile. Actually, it can also cause some deformities on some of the most powerful magi because of that. The same happens with Witcher, who are design mutants. All witchers are sterile…
Really really dug the first episode. Definetly not perfect but a good retelling of one of my favorite short stories in the Witcher universe. Gotta say, I love Cavill already and am ready to watch more.
Wha? Beer dates back to the ancient Egypt, if not further. It’s one of the oldest alcoholic drinks known to mankind.
Mead and beer are two completely different beverages.
Depends upon your authority. According to my copy of Willy Ley’s Exotic Zoology (yes, there is such a book, and it’s a great read), there are a number of descriptions of the basilisk, but the most complex and recent account of its genesis says that it is hatched from an egg laid by a seven-year-old cock during the Dog…
Totally! I thought we would see bits and pieces of Baby Yoda. :(
Hey, that’s some great work! You made him MORE adorable!
Do you have a sausage in a bun?
A seemingly well planed and intended internet drama. you don’t change Vetinari unless you WANT a fan outcry for publicity.
Pop corn. Getcher pop corn here. Can’t enjoy your internet drama without your pop corn. Just ten cents a bag and that’s cuttin’ me own throat.
As an extremely powerful sorcerer—she’s known as a “source,” a very rare human born with the natural capacity to cast magic—Yennefer eventually learns how to cast a powerful glamour that hides her true, disfigured appearance (she was born with a spinal curvature exacerbated by abuse at the hands of her father)…
