The flavor is “red.”

I think you’re crazy, Kastag... er, Credence.

“Free spirit” is an interesting way to spell “idiot.”

Our local ColdStone used to offer a Dark Chocolate Peppermint around the holidays. I have never before or since ordered and eaten a ‘Gotta Have It’ size twice in one week. So good.

Also, if you DON’T like coffee, coffee ice cream isn’t very good either.

TL;DR: “Without Spider-Man, there’s no point.”

The first haggis I ever ate (Craignure Inn, Isle of Mull) was remarkably good. Every one I’ve tried since (various US pubs) has been... less good. Something to be said for authenticity, I guess.

We all know Season Two of the Manalorian will feature a baby Admiral Ackbar, with the catchphrase “It’s a twap!”

I’m one of the lucky ones; as soon as the plane’s off the ground, the drone of the engines has me asleep within minutes. I typically miss drink service and occasionally food, but man it’s nice to be well-rested when you land.

I blame my parents. When I was a baby and couldn’t sleep, they’d take me for a car ride. To…

Nothing wrong with that at all. Although...

For my money, the Dark Chocolate Oreos have won the Oreo wars.

No worries! I appreciate the conversation, and recognize this is largely my own personal preference.

That’s... true, I suppose? But I think that would also make it a wildly different show.

Very valid point. However, I’d argue you could contemporize the Chaucer to be understandable and parsable to a modern ear, and the language construction alone would feel more authentic.

I do not think that, nor did I say that.

This is very true, and an excellent point. It’s specifically the use of the modern label that bothers me, but you’re right, it’s a useful shorthand. 

FWIW, I don’t believe I’m comparing the history of the real world with a fantasy world, but by all appearances, it’s a high middle ages setting, plus magic. I’m sure the worldbuilding is much more nuanced and complicated than that, but certain words and phrases will always sound out of place.

Slightly, but less so? Profanity is a component of language that’s harder to portray for a modern audience with the same impact. Someone saying ‘damn you’ simply doesn’t have the impact that ‘fuck you’ does to a contemporary ear. Plus, believe someone’s traced the earliest use of ‘fuck’ to the early 1300s, so it’s not…

True, the whole idea of ‘mutants’ and the implied genetic engineering involved in creating Witchers (and other things) does have a similar anachronistic feel, but in the context of the show at least it seems implied that that’s magical mutation/genetic manipulation, not modern CRISPR/CAS9-style gene editing.
