In real life “going in there” will at worst lead to a dusty basement with some rats. Somehow people expect the protagonist in a horror movie to know they are in a horror movie and act accordingly.

Next step is for someone to figure out how to be invulnerable for a second so he can survive the explosion.

Exactly!c Crypto is nature red in claw and tooth, survival of the fittest. If you get scammed it’s not the fault of the market or crypto, you just weren’t good enough so it’s your own fault.

Just split the draft into two books and call the second ADoS. It won’t end the story, but it’ll let them sell twice as many books.

Martin spent too many years teasing how the next book was almost finished. Broke too many deadlines. Had he just said “I have a writers block on this series, I’ll get back to it when I figure out how to continue” it would have been much easier to accept.

Goff really should have understood that talking about peace only when you are locked up in a jar or running out of allies isn’t credible.

Easier to have her killed if she isn’t mentioned anywhere else, or even if you don’t the lack of plot armor adds to suspense.

I love how even the veterinary staff was ready to join. That’s a proper pep talk!

The tension was more how many cops would get killed if their escape didn’t work out well. As it turned out: plenty.

I forgot to add that both of them have taken over the identity of nasty people, by shapeshifting or eating the brain.

Is the similarity between Murn and Hank Henshaw from Supergirl intentional? Both are black guys leading organisations tasked with hunting aliens who turn out to be aliens themselves and have a similar attitude.

The butterfly screams in the factory were right from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Typical human reaction. Kill everything you don’t understand.

Considering the ease with which that senator butterfly resorted to torture, I wouldn’t call him good. Torturing one physchopath in the hope that the other one will start talking isn’t even smart.

Adding the ‘literally’ was begging to be nitpicked to death.

Ohnoray, in the book Nanaeve has a block that only lets her use the power when she is angry. She is basicaly the Hulk minus the green and the shirt ripping. She probably noted long before she had any idea that she could channel that her healing worked better when she was angry, so it’s only natural that she would feed…

It definietely helps to be old enough to remember what other movies at that time looked like to appreciate a New Hope. The special effects were very good for the time, and the slower pacing was just how movies were made.

A lawn with a mix of flowers like clover in it is also a lot more pleasant to look at than a monoculture.

Sexualized perhaps, but certainly not sexy.

The dogs would just form up in packs and eat the zombies. Dogs aren´t picky about rotting meat once they get hungry.
