this vexes me about House of the Dragon! It takes place 200 years before GoT, yet the society and technology are fairly 1:1. One can hand-wave it (and the lack of difference on Acolyte) as being a society which is fairly inert and unchanging, but they’re leaving a lot on the table when it comes to…

Black has been campaigning for Biden this year. The optics of Gass’ comment will have negative effects for Biden. I don’t think Jack Black is concerned about losing any fascist fans or a few bucks.

Bondarchuk (Joss Ackland): I don’t care what you have there!
Fetisov : Information...
Bondarchuk :
