Come on, show some class; this is probably just some sort of tax shelter.

Yep. I had that same thought throughout the whole movie. Is there a term for the opposite of a red herring? A green beta?

This is wonderful analysis. You just deepened my experience of the episode. Thank you for posting!

I was thinking something along those lines too so I’m glad I wasn’t the only one crazy about their view of the ending. My take was that Viscery’s was testing her and putting her in a Catch-22 situation because he doesn’t quite know whether to fully trust her. If Rhaenyra took it, it would mean tactically admitting she…

Probably why the reviewer wrote “almost all” instead of “all”.

Crazy how someone would get online just to be like “I can’t read”.

Very astute observation. Thank you for making it!

Shhh. You’re distracting him from watching an 18-year-old girl in yoga pants and a tight white t-shirt from telling him her vital and important take on the Russia-Ukraine war in a 43-second tiktok.

He responded directly to a question from an interviewer for an article that was mostly about his physical appearance. I’m not that invested in Zac Efron or Hattie Lindert, I just don’t understand the OMG-why-is-he-talking-about-this tone of celebrity gossip bloggers when (1) The answer is usually that someone asked…

I dont think they were obviously fucking either maybe a quick tug after story time but that is all

Absolutely, and whatsmore about the time jump, are other little things, like Corlys’ son being a child last week, and a grown-ass man now... It’s only been 3 years, right?

I think the reason this movie is getting so much hype is strictly because of the controversy of Shia, Wilde and Styles.  

You'll have to forgive Lucy. She's not as evolved as the rest of us. 

I have to agree; I thought it was framed as a very arthouse-y, indie-by-way-of WB film that American audiences just weren't going to be able to handle (!!!). Could have been my interpretation of the coverage as well. It's also possible that Olivia Wilde is so utterly pretentious that she tries to frame everything she…

Well said. There’s a thing in the literature world called “autofiction”, which are essentially autobiographies with a thin veneer of fiction laid over them to avoid any outright calls of narcissism...as well as present themselve- sorry, the totally fictional protagonist of their totally fictional novel in the best…

Good on you Lucy.  Great point, well made.

It would be one thing if the critique was from a different, banal perspective of “titties and dragons”... Jenna’s reviews are just plain inaccurate. She consistently misses obvious foreshadowing/ motif and can barely accurately summarize the plot- making it difficult to judge the review as a review instead of a stream…

+1 for the I, Claudius vs. Dynasty comparison. That’s really good.

I’ve noticed this too. Originally, you could click the comments link from the main page and have it take you directly there. Now, you need to click the article and scroll through its entirety.

Intended or just another bug on a terribly developed site, it’s a toss-up at this point.

It’s a challenge, you know: one doesn’t want to respond to a review with “you just don’t get it man” because the whole purpose of a program like this is to invite discussion: the ambiguities and uncertainties are explicitly designed to position different audiences differently. Its not overly prescriptive about where…
