This is a good a time as any to say I have always wanted to live in Dennis’s autonomous collective. 

Am I the only one who just doesn’t care about the Harfoots? I find nothing appealing or endearing about them. Hobbits don’t come into play in the lore of the second age. There’s really no reason to have them here.

They’re stacked underneath the deck, head to toe for better compression

Oh I was referring to the books. Young me spent a lot of time skimming and skipping pages. 

and could afford better accents

the peasants in Grail had way less condescending dialogue

Were we watching the same show? There was one, and only one moment in this episode that I actually enjoyed, and it was Nikki agreeing with Mallory to keep Jen in the dark about Intelligencia, only to immediately tell her. Pretty much everything else was bollocks, as was much of last week. I was really looking forward…

Annnnnd another third-rate sitcom episode, not funny enough - heck, just not funny, period - for the genre and sadly lacking in all other departments you’d want for a superhero-based show. Absolutely no reason to turn Mr. Immortal into a narcisstic sleazebag, either. This is hands-down the biggest MCU TV…

So they managed to make this week’s episode even worse than the previous one. That’s some accomplishement, I guess. SoS

“Justify its existence”? Oh, fuck all the way off twice

I really wish we had expert reviews of this show like we got with the original. Reviews that focus on what the episode is setting up with the primary focus being the events of the episode and what they are leading to next with full spoiler talk. And that point out differences from the source.

Yeah, this felt like a classic sitcom’s C plot expanded to full episode (I’d like to say “full half hour”, but these episodes are 20 minutes of script plus 10 minutes of opening and ending credits).

Any other people want to see more of this Blackwood kid? He's gonna be a beast once he can fully swing a sword.

I will have to say Rhaenyra’s seduction of Ser Criston Cole removing slowly every leather strapped gauntlet, pasguard and breast plate was conjointly funny and ultimately sexy.

This show is weird for me. It’s by far, again personal opinion, the worst MCU show so far. Like it isn’t even a competition. Yet I don’t get frustrated watching and not for positive reasons, I just kind of don’t care about a single thing that is happening on screen. At rare times they hit a joke that makes me chuckle,…

Might just be you, I think her face looks almost the same. It may be because her hair is so dramatically different.

Tatiana Maslany is a master of looking like someone else. See Orphan Black.

Yeah the difference is stark. I have a clear memory of being struck by the quality of the animation in “The Honeymooners” (season 4) though when Lana and Archer are falling down the side of giant glass hotel. Just beautiful. I also think I like the space coma-dream season more than most because of the cool sci-fi…

Bana got to work for Ang Lee, then followed that up with working for Steven Spielberg, Curtis Hanson, JJ Abrams, Judd Apatow, Joe Wright, Peter Berg, Scott Derrickson and Guy Richie. Pretty sure he’s fine.

“(I hope that somewhere in Hollywood, Ed Norton is watching this episode and laughing his ass off.)“
