Sure, but again, there’s a difference between her not showing up in this movie and her being completely erased from the franchise. I’m not saying they’ll never bring her up the character, just that she may not play a part in this movie, at least not like in the book.

You are correct - it is 2. I may have transposed the real time difference between the two movies with that in my head.

Sure. But none of that negates the possibility of taking Alia out of the second movie. She could be introduced in Messiah pretty easily.

If there’s the 3 year gap in the movie like there was in the book. Villeneuve said that the second movie picks up right where the first left off, which is butting up against the fast forward in the book. If they don’t flash forward in this movie, then they don’t need to introduce Alia. They can just have Jessica take…

Still no Alia, which is interesting. I’m beginning to think they either cut her from the story or they’re doing a CGI thing, which hopefully won’t end up like the kid from the later Twilight movies. Still, CGI is probably the only way they could get capture the idea of her being an abomination.

Well, no. Apologies, but that analogy doesn’t work. No one cared where I was or what I was doing during those events because I didn’t have an entire government hunting me. One with super powerful mages (for lack of a better term) that could sense my presence from miles away. My existence wasn’t considered an…

I’d put the original Martyrs on this list. I’ve been tempted to watch it again, but it’s a lot. I also can’t tell if it was brilliant or sophmoric. Probably both.

A few of my faves:

Nietzsche was right... dead as a doornail.

Thank you. It’s very appreciated.

I’m gonna stop caring about difficulty.

Seems weirdly familiar...

Pretty sure I know what she’s saying...

So happy to see Dark Crystal winning something! That is a show that deserves so much more love and recognition than it got. And a second season.

Grave of the Fireflies

Maybe this episode won me over because it began with the brilliant John Prine, who we lost to this disease, but I liked it. I was very worried watching it that it’d end up with a bunch of JAQ-ing off, but it turns out that the whole thing was a 53-minute dick joke, and that I’m down with. This is the first I’ve heard…

Oh god, she sat on Cousin It!

Seems like putting Superman sauce on something should get someone arrested... at the very least, it sounds very unhygienic.

Who wants to bet his lawyer will turn out to be Larry Klayman?

You know, there’s potentially an easy answer to the tachyon issue. There was no one controlling it, meaning it aimed itself. That also, to me at least, means it was going to aim at Jon no matter where he was standing and hit him.
