The show has changed the timeline a bit here - this is actually nine years into his reign. 

There is a very compelling theory that Amelia Earhart was eaten by crabs.

Actually, HBO itself wanted more seasons, and also suggested going to around 10. It was D&D who insisted at keeping it at 8, because they were tired.

No, it got an advance order for five seasons. It’s already renewed.

Young Ned Stark is going to be busy playing Elrond on The Rings of Power for the next several years

I actually heard the opposite - HBO axed it in part because it was so visually different from Game of Thrones, and they felt that it wouldn’t feel like the same franchise. They were going for more of an ancient, Bronze Age esque aesthetic for the First Men.

Rivendell doesn’t appear in the trailer at all, considering it hasn’t been founded yet, so I don’t know what visual cues you’re seeing of it at all.

What I’ve found that is a bit interesting, is the motivation aside from the hoax. He did it in part as a joke, but you also look at his place in life - he had graduated high school but struggled with several false starts at college and by 30 had flunked out and felt like his life had hit a dead end, and he says he’d…

“King Elrond” I don’t think Elrond is really a king of anything.

The last one also included Jerod Carmichael, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Quentin Tarantino. Sounds like they might have a regular game night!

I’m a Star Wars fan who would be excited to talk about The Bad Batch. I didn’t know there was more negativity towards this show, people I interact with seem to like it. :( 

Hey HEY!!

Yeah, it is really starting to feel that way to me too. We’re 2-2 on recent MCU movies featuring TV actors in their role. (And even before that, there was also James D’Arcy as Jarvis in Endgame - it’s like they’re seeding them in.)

His list also included LGBTQ+ people and minority activists (like Paul Robeson, who he deemed “anti-white”).

Yes, the first movie literally opens with him having already finished his manuscript for the book. That was the most disappointing part to me at the time.

He also dated a 19-year-old for a while while he was 32.

It’s because the showrunner is Julian Fellowes, a Tory peer in the House of Lords. So this is an openly conservative take on the Gilded Age. Which is somewhat maddening, because class-based oppression is kind of the whole story of the era. A show like this would kind of need to be Succession like to be any good.

I feel like unfortunately the only country with those kind of balls would be China, and I don’t think they care too much about what goes on in other countries (outside of their B+R thing), and if they did the USA would never take it seriously, and the media would never portray it in a positive light.

Bobbi had also been an agent for quite some time by her first appearance though. For example, she was already an agent before her divorce with Lance (and I think before they were even married).

No one is going to comment that this seems to be like the original Hamlet story? The main character is named Amleth, it’s set in Denmark, and he wants to “save” his mother from the man who murdered his father (probably because she’s married to him).
