ALLOWING FOR DIFFERENT TASTES, PARISIAN HOT CHOCOLATE IS THE BEST.

WELL SAID, THERE ARE MANY MOMENTS IN THESE FILMS WHICH MAKE ONE’S HAIR STAND ON END, PARTICULARLY AS THE MUSIC COMES UP. AND I DO NOT HAVE HAIR, SO THAT IS A BIT OF A TRICK.

THE NARRATIVE PROPER ENDS WITH SAM GOING HOME. IN THE APPENDICES, THERE IS AN ENTRY FOR HIS GOING TO THE HAVENS AND PASSING OVER THE SEA.

PIRACY IS THEFT. “THEFT” IS LITERALLY IN THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD PIRACY. CERTAINLY NOT ALL THEFT IS THE ON THE SAME PLANE MORALLY, BUT DO NOT PRETEND THAT MAKES IT NOT-THEFT.

GOLLY.

THERE IS NUANCE, AND THEN THERE IS NUANCE. THE MAIN CONFLICT IS QUITE CLEARLY BLACK AND WHITE, BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF PLACES WHERE THE NARRATIVE MAKES CLEAR THE ISSUES THAT LAY JUST UNDER THE SURFACE OF SOCIETY. THE TREATMENT OF HOUSE-ELVES, THE USE OF DEMENTORS, THE WILLINGNESS OF THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC TO USE ROUGH…

AND A HAPPY HOGSWATCH TO YOU AS WELL.
HO. HO. HO.

I DON’T GET IT.

HE WAS QUITE THE GENTLEMAN, ACTUALLY.

MY JOB IS NECESSARY, BUT I DO NOT ALWAYS ENJOY WHERE IT TAKES ME.

AS DRAMA, THE FRENCH REVOLUTION IS HARD TO TOP. AS AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW? EH.

TO BE FAIR, MANY PLOT SET UPS, IF HANDLED IN A MATURE WAY BY MATURE CHARACTERS, WOULD ONLY GIVE YOU ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF FILM. UNLESS THEY CHOSE TO SHOW ALL OF THE FILLING OUT OF FORMS, WHICH MIGHT ADD RUNNING TIME BUT WOULD BE BORING FOR THE VIEWER.

YES. THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A STRAND OF THAT, BUT IT HAS BECOME QUITE PERNICIOUS OVER THE PAST 10-20 YEARS. BRO-COUNTRY, THEY CALL IT.

NOT TO WORRY. I HAVE VERY THICK SKIN. METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING.

IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER. BUT I DON’T HAVE ANY LUNGS, SO THAT DOESN’T MATTER.ALSO, I AM A NATURAL DISINFECTANT.

BUT TO YOUR POINT, I DO NOT CHOOSE WHO DIES. I JUST...SEND THEM ALONG TO THE NEXT PLACE.

I VISIT EVERYONE.
EVENTUALLY.

AND 2020 HAD BEEN GOING SO WELL FOR YOU MORTALS UP UNTIL NOW.

PLAYING INQUISITION WILL PROBABLY PROVIDE THE MOST IN TERMS OF LORE AND EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO THE EVENTS OF THE NEW GAME. I WOULD PLAY THAT ONE AT LEAST.

ANYONE WHO EVER REALLY LISTENED TO THE FIRST ALBUM WOULD KNOW THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF MINOR CHORDS AND DARKER ELEMENTS TO THEIR SOUND. THE HITS WERE PURE POP, BUT THE DEEPER CUTS WERE...I DON’T KNOW IF I WOULD SAY MATURE, BUT CERTAINLY COMING FROM ANOTHER, MUCH LESS SHINY, PLACE.
