After the series ended I was still able to re-watch seasons 1-5 but a lot of the appeal of the show was wondering where these characters would end up and who would win the titular Game of Thrones. And most of that speculation and theorizing ended up being wildly disappointing in the end. 

I was fine with Jamie coming to peace with who he was in the show. I wasn’t fine with how it affected Brienne, however. I don’t think breaking her heart ruined her character, it made sense, but it was just sad. 

The way the last season unfolded kind of undermines the vast history of the world that those characters inhabited, I agree with you. Knowing that this all ultimately leads to Bran Fucking Stark on the Throne, and that the entire Targaryen line ends with just another crazy dragon ruler laying waste to a city of

I’m betting Geezer was the one behind those shirts. He’s always been an advocate for social justice, any of the political Sabbath lyrics were always written by Geezer Butler, never Ozzy. 

She also sabotaged Iron Maiden’s final performance at Ozzfest 2005 because she felt they were trying to upstage Black Sabbath the whole tour (they had a longer set and were co-headliners and she was mad that a lot of Maiden fans would leave after Maiden’s set throughout the tour) and gave out eggs for other band

“Give the fucking guy some water, he’s black, he’s been through a lot!” 

Whoops! 

And the scene when Ice Cube figures it out is also absolutely hysterical. 

But they acknowledge that pretty early on and then build off of it and make it even more ridiculous than the first one. Also, the reveal of Ice Cube realizing who his daughter’s new boyfriend is might be the funniest moment in either of the two Jump Street movies. 

He’s incredibly funny in Demolition Man. He’s pretty much the main source of comedy in that movie (and Bullock, I guess) and he crushes it. 

I love that scene with Obi-Wan and Padme in III. It shows that Obi-Wan knew there was something going on with the two of them all along, and thus, Obi-Wan wasn’t a fucking clueless idiot like most of the rest of the Jedi, and also that he cares about both of them and feels horrible that Padme is in that awful

I remember the first reunion special which I think aired after season 5 or 6, David (from S2) and Puck (from S3) both tried their best to ruin it. Seeing Rachel and Puck in the same room in 2021 would be absurd, though. 

Obi-Wan is very funny in that movie. When he shows up at the secret clone base and they’re like “Oh, you must be the Jedi they sent to inspect this secret base we’ve been building and working on for 30 years.”  “That’s... why I’m here!” 

I agree with you on almost everything. I do not necessarily think that the world that Richard/Cooper wakes up in on the last part is another dream. I think he has exited all dream worlds at this point and is in the same earth we all inhabit, which is why the woman who answers the door at the Palmer house is the actual

The ending somehow made me laugh really hard and scared the shit out of me at the same time. Which is everything I could have asked for from a Twin Peaks revival series ending. 

Good point. I still enjoy them but they’re definitely flawed. 

Couldn’t agree more. We already saw Anakin possessed pieces of the dark side going back to AOTC (deception and lying -- i.e. getting married in secret and conceiving two children) and if they had had more “fun” with that in Episode III, showing how each time he compromised some of his morals he was more and more

I think he’s most alive in the 3rd one because most of his scenes are done against actual people. In the first 2, he had to deal with Jar Jar and a lot of random animated characters in AOTC in particular. It’s probably not the most inspiring thing for an actor to be talking to a fucking tennis ball on a pole for most

That didn’t bother me, though, because the OT also had a lot of “made up as it went along” stuff. Like, Boba Fett, for instance. Seemingly set up in Empire as the most feared badass bounty hunter in the universe; dismissed in about 5 seconds by a BLIND GUY in ROTJ. I’d rather see 3 semi-related stories that aren’t

You make a great point about The Phantom Menace. Most of the plot doesn’t need to exist. Having Anakin meet Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan does need to happen, though, but the story surrounding that could have been so much better.
