I get that it flies in the face of what they learned in the first episode, that they’re not the stars of their story, but the major caveat was that the Cerritos is the Enterprise of the California Class ships (the ships used for second contact/clean-up) and our Lower Deckers are the heroes of the lower deckers among…

No one is saying it can’t be done. However, it will be a huge headache to do it properly. The royal family is not the actual problem here, it’s our legislative system and how Parliament works. I’m no monarchist, but I recognize that it isn’t a matter of just switching out the art on the money.

It’s not symbolic in the way you're thinking. The way laws are made in this country, they require royal assent. Sure, no GG is going to refuse to give it, but the PM can't just declare something a law. We need someone/thing to replace that system. All government is symbolic when you get right down to it.

And so begins the dissolution of most of the remainder of Britain’s formal links to its former Dominions - and given how badly the Tories have screwed things up, probably not much more than even odds on England remaining in union with Scotland too.

They can finally get to work on the finale now!

crown lands(highways, lands, forests, title claims etc), and a lot of legal instruments in property are derived from royal prerogatives. it would be very complicated to create a whole new system of operations, and a huge burden expecting each province to adapt to the changes.

She meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people, as figureheads often do. Some of my friends are mourning, others are celebrating.

No lover of any monarchy, but - damn - there will never be another woman (or human) like her.

This looks like a product created by engineers who forgot to hire a UX/design team, nodded at each other, and went, “Uh-huh, yup, works well therefore everyone will want it, good job us!”

Was I the only one who initially saw the name of the company making this as “S#!tfall?”

Since The Sandman has been in Netflix’s top 10 since its debut, a renewal was a formality. 

“The Sandman has been quietly renewed for a second season at Netflix.”
Thank you. Really want to see how they do ‘A Game of You’

It’s still returning to the status quo . I’d rather have him actually go vampire , but a combination of vampire hunter blood and Derek being a pretty new vampire have him come out as something ....different. Maybe a day-walker so he has the worst of both worlds ..having to look after the others ..AND deal with being a…

I think it is explicitly meant to be only barely visible from the summit of Meneltarma but it’s been a while since I’ve read the Sil so that may be wrong.

True - maybe it is still just barely visible from Meneltarma.

There was something incredibly silly and off-putting about seeing a grown man’s face/head on a child, major props to the show.

Whereas every year is a bad year for bigotry signaling.

The Tarleys are a well known Hobbit family.

*sniff* This is so sweet and heart-warming that it’s almost all I can do to yell  NEEEERRRRDS!!
