Iron Fist can absolutely improve. I have no doubt of that. The key problems that I see are:

It actually translates to "Make it less expensive." If they cover everything in leather, then everyone can wear leather armor instead of full plate or chain. Or worse, drybrushed grey wool standing in as chain, or molded plastic/rubber standing in as plate.

Nixon went to Whittier, I thought.

I think Gorn's really coming into their own with this album, both artistically and commercially.

This. The way that Maria Doyle Kennedy played the scene was such that even the effort to shoot Ferdinand in the throat (which I love that she telegraphed) took a lot. The notion that she'd get up and call 911 after that? Not likely. Plus, as stated, the cops are a dodgy lot at best on this show.

Truth. My wife and I honeymooned for a few nights in one up in Northumberland.

Also, it's pretty clear he'll have to find someone else with whom to do the Fandango.

The thing that gets me is that the people who adopt this ethos are so blind about how they benefit from basic social contract theory. They don't seem to get that society, civilization, our government only work if enough of us buy into it. In a way, it's not much different from the anti-vax belief that "herd…

But what about his uncredited voiceover for the opening sequence of forgotten 1997 PC game Emperor of the Fading Suns?

There are more structures available for governing than a strict autocracy or a representative republic or democracy.

Yeah. It reminds me of the concept of a witan, really.

I actually think the show has real potential, and that Finn Jones was giving the performance he was supposed to. He was acting to the material. The major problems with last season, as I saw it, were:

I haven't watched Westworld (I'm reluctant to, since I take a dim view of "mystery box" shows), but Game of Thrones has, in my opinion, succeeded because it has a coherent story and a clear plan with an endpoint in mind.

By that point, I'd given up on the show entirely. I stopped watching at the mid-season break there, and never went back. I just didn't care anymore. I was already tired of how they'd take a 2-issue break in the comics and turn it into half a fucking season, and that incident just made me tip from being mildly…

I read the first three Compendiums. (Compendia?) By the time I got to the end of the 3rd one, I had lost interest in both the comic and the show. It felt like the comics had devolved into at least 30% splash pages, which meant a lot less story actually happening. And yet, the whole thing still felt like it was…

Aw, come on. I'm disappointed the shows ended, but there's no point in being Thor about it, buddy.

Also appropriate when watching:

Indeed.

Hogun and Mogun are awesome! No, I mean Onef and his brother-in-law (Ekkil, I think?). I mean, I wanted to get the Steam achievement for getting a kill with each type of character, but beyond that, I'm not really all that impressed, and I find that other characters that you lose access to by bringing them are more…

I played the first episode or two of Telltale's Game of Thrones and was similarly disappointed. Yes, you get to craft "who" your character will be…but so what? When the end result is the same, it wound up feeling as if — as described above — nothing really matters.
