(Fraser plays a 600-pound man, which has been controversial, to say the least)

Honestly, fair. I’m not certain that physical disabilities like this, that people might not be born with, necessarily require faithfully representative casting? Might be more of a case-by-case thing.

“House Of The Dragon seems to have wildly varying ideas of what a 14-year-old looks like.”

I don’t watch the show for the dragons, and don’t want to sound like a fanboy for the dragons, because that’s the shallow excuse some people levy against GoT as to why its so popular... but... that dragon scene was fucking incredible

The main problem with the time jump is that our relationship with Rhaenyra and Alicent were with the previous actresses. I am rooting for Rhaenyra in part because I liked Milly’s Rhaenyra. When you suddenly switch actresses like that, it’s like they’re whole new characters in that they’re not the people we had…

I don’t know if we’re supposed to be on her side, but I do think we’re to understand how she went from this very naive girl to someone who will slowly lose her humanity to protect her children.

Came to say the same. I know AVClub has kinda turned their operation into a content mill but this is next-level.

Then Nolan’s takeover will truly be complete.

The problem with D&D as a movie or show or anything other then a game is really the fact that it was created entirely so people could pretend to be in the fantasy stories they loved. So by its very nature its derivative of classic fantasy like the LOTR and Conan and such.

Back in my day Led Zeppelin was quintessential music to play while playing D&D. You’d have Zeppelin on along with you cases of Mountain Dew and Doritos and take out and you’d rock on into the wee hours of the morning.

I would have gone with “I’m a snoozer baby, so please don’t you wake me.”

I would argue that Disney took the wrong lesson from TLJ.

That’s all well and good, but I REALLY hope that he also turns away from his own tendency to blunt dramatic moments with comedy. I really enjoyed Ragnarok overall, but there were several occasions where important and emotional scenes were undercut with a joke that should have been used somewhere else or just discarded…

I loved this site so much. Idk why I continue hanging around in the graveyard. Nostalgia, I guess.

I like it, too. But more than that, I love that they relegated “Knives Out” to a series name rather than just numbering them.

The issue is that it’s hard to do it without sounding like a conservative crank, which is a shame because someone seriously needs to.

Just a friendly reminder to all that the term Millennial refers to people ages roughly 30 to 40 :)

I’m still skeptical this can be adapted well (its qualities as a book were somewhat specific to the medium, in my opinion), but this might be good. Moffat does his best work with limited series, rather than ongoing ones, so he might not mess this one up.

So, this isn’t a sequel to B13?

It’s REAL hard for the last-of-a-series to get a novel nod unless the individual books had all been nominated along the way.  I’m thrilled that the Best Series category exists now, so something as brilliant as The Green Bone Saga gets the recognition it deserves.
