No, Blanche! I really hope she's not stuck in the Sanatorium for too long - she was adorable practicing for her factory interview. Again, Chair goes after the weakest link.

Her "I can pull an apple cart by myself" line had me full of sympathetic chuckling…which is odd in this day and age.

I'm on the fence as well, and I've been a steady watcher.
While I care about the characters than I did before, the darkness is a bit much at times. And the show veers to the dark unflinchingly, which I haven't decided if I find brave or lazy. I'm in the group that is annoyed by Chair and her shifting motivations,…

"Silence, Chaplin!" was a nice throwaway joke.

Same script, you are correct.
And yes, it was the sexual violence - it jarred the tone (and the text) so far out of place for me that I wasn't able to incorporate it back into the play. I spent the whole rest of the play reflecting on what happens when the level of vindictiveness makes the monster no longer…

That "mini-game" was in the beginning. Also yes, I consider simulating sex to be a different sort of uncomfortable than simulating the butchering of harpies and devil-spawn.

I didn't like the Miller monster version for a couple of storytelling reasons. I missed seeing Cumberbatch as the monster, which made me sad because I would have like to compare the two.

He isn't a full professor. He is…less than.

It won't work unless you place it in the chest!

Not sure why these episodes get such low reviews. I think that the half-hour formula means the writers have to trust the audience to pick up on character ticks quickly and build from there. With all the physical action going on, handling three(+) disparate plot points doesn't give a lot of space for deep character…

That or they could have made Milky White a fake cow. That would have forced some levity…do any of the stage version gimmicks.

They do in the God of War series too - sleep with the whores for bonus exp!

I'm unsure about this. I'm a fan of some game romance sequences - I liked BG2 romances, for example, because there were plenty of story decisions that could alter the outcome - the flirt patch also provided added depth. I also did the ME romance, which I thought worked alright at times (Thane), and then less so…

So awful - mostly because there was zero inflection. I didn't need it to get awkward sound-wise, but that monotone - it took me out of the game with its stupidity.

Ugh - I hated that option specifically for the lame V.O. work. A monotone "bada bing" followed by *SPOILER* the slitting of the throat. So lame.

Lydia oh Lydia - say have you wed Lydia?…

I personally wished that Shepard would get more bonuses for just hanging out drinking with the doctor or the surly chef. Not a mini-game, but something akin.

Apologies for the gap. I was playing video games.

I imagine GoT is going to end more bitter than sweet. Like, everyone dies, but then a kitten plays with a dandelion while a stranger from the future delivers a long epilogue about…turkey legs as a metaphor for the class system.

If it were put in the movie, it would have to be Merry and Pippin that get their moment to shine, as they arguably changed the most in terms of fighting skill. Sam and Frodo changed the most as characters, but straight-up bruising skills go to the bumbling fireworks-stealing hobbits.
