Thanks for asking about Ragtime. It’s not how I imagined the book would be adapted, more prestige than magically real but you appreciate it for at least being true to the plot (SPOILERS) in the tragedy of Coalhouse Walker, which sticks in your craw coming at the behest of someone as loveable as Cagney, who offhandedly…

McShane as Swearengen can make anything sound like grandiose wisdom.

Where’s Ditko?

This warms my bitter heart.

He’s done a lot of portentous staring. His eavesdropping on Dany and Jon’s boat lovemaking, his look at the end of Sansa’s rebuke and at the couple again, at the dying Lannister army, right before whatever deal he and Cersei made, they all set up Tyrion for action. Whether that action is boneheaded, boneheaded but…

3 Days in the Valley of Ultron

I finished reading Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks recently. I don’t remember who recommended the Culture novels on here, but thank you, this is my third one. Regardless of the final twist I thought this was a great novel, whose dryness and cynicism was very appropriate for a war tale, and whose high class games…

I would have accepted “Not from this reply” or “Not from I.”

The character is wearing tinted glasses (no joke), and the Mandalorian has very strict ideas about Canon/EU continuity.

Is it possible to learn this power?

It would be really cool if she had a Jack Kirby cosmic alter ego named Haberdasher Quick.

One thing’s for sure, we’re all going to be a lot thinner.

The problem with Littlefinger trading off to a faceless man is Bran would have seen it but they could workaround by having him only looking at certain places in time and missing as he did R + L = J.

What’s wrong with Second Sons? As I remember it’s a great episode, with Tyrion’s wedding and the first Daario’s introduction. It’s probably the only episode with either Daario that works well (we meet Mero his vulgar boss who he kills to serve Dany). But I guess I answered my own question by saying Daario three times.

As always, the (actor-sized) spectacle is on point: I love Littlefinger along the wall, arms folded, watching smugly, snapping out of reverie to get interrogated by Sansa. His plotting hiccupped, finally!

Just as long as it doesn’t interfere with his work with the Umbrella Corporation.

They use invisible jetpacks and plot armor. Also, the dialogue is now exclusively hot air.

And it really, with little dialogue, dramatized the effects of war on non-nobles (well, regular Lannister soldiers at least). And gives us two sides we’re equally rooting for.
