You are weirdly aggressive about this.

They never say what the boxes are. “Easy to figure out” =/= revealed. Yes, you can infer that they’re more zombie troopers, but it’s never outright stated.

I haven’t seen this brought up before, so now’s as good a time as any: how do Viserys and Alicent have such shit children? Not Helaena, she’s fine, but really now, Aegon and Aemond are almost cartoonishly abhorrent. Where does it come from?

There are two different types of hosts here, and the writers haven’t always done a good job of distinguishing them:

My understanding was that the mob of people were actual humans infected with the nanites or whatever they call the doohickies that allow computers to control human beings.

So HBO gives up early on shows like Lovecraft Country, Carnival & Rome which had plenty of story left to tell in order to keep shows like Westworld around which ran out out ideas half between season 2. Pass.

It is what it is. Netflix has finally learned what the rest of the streaming channels already knew: people don’t stick around if you give them everything at once.

I think this is an interesting conversation to be had since Disney+ has shown that weekly episodes work well in the streaming world.  I enjoyed appointment TV with the MoonKnight miniseries. 

I suppose it’s a reminder there’s a whole other parallel existence sharing my timeline where there are people for whom this hog shit is appointment viewing.

I too created an account to respond, and though I really do appreciate the quality of analysis and writing in these reviews, I do disagree strongly with your take on a big part of season two:

I feel like women go back to shitty men a lot, unfortunately. Everything about her rang true. Someone also pointed out that she may have been 1) afraid of him after killing Armond or 2) thought he’d get better, naively. 

Yeah she could have admitted she had goaded Kai into it and explained why. She was never going to be turned in to the police by the Mossbachers, and she and Olivia could have probably convinced them not to press charges.

“Imagine if she’d joined the Army? It was segregated until 1948.”

Yeah, I’d reckon most pageants in the South and Midwest have racist as hell roots. But I’m not going to blame kids and socially-obligated young adults for participating in something that lost its racist overtones decades ago.

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

So she entered a pageant and/or attended some weird debutante event. Is there any indication that she was aware it had a racist history? It may be hard for some on here to believe, but googling the damn thing wasn’t an option in 1999.

I finally hit upon something. I have no problem with where any of the characters ended up. It was the journey along the way. Whatever reasons they had for doing 13 episodes in 2 seasons instead of 20 or even 18, it was a mistake.

Dany making a heel turn? Totally get it. She always had crazy eyes. We just approved of…

I had no expectations for this movie. Zero. I had very little interest in watching it, but figured I’d give it about an hour just out of curiosity. I didn’t like the previous JL and I have never liked a Snyder film even a little bit.

I think most of the changes made were for the better. I do miss some of the quips, but this movie wasn’t totally devoid of humor (“What’s your superpower? I’m rich.”). I think it’s a little unfair to criticize the runtime, because we can safely assume the theatrical version wouldn’t have been four hours long--some of…

Honestly, if this were actually to come to fruition, all I’m holding out for are vehicle pods. If I could hop into my car, drive to a Loop station and into a pod, then get to, say, Chicago, and not have to take cabs or rideshares everywhere, I would love that. Something like that would shorten roadtrips significantly e…

The car horn thing also struck me as self-defeating (Not to mention the logistics of “Could you pick up the kids after school today? I’d get them with the other car, but, y’know, I have to leave it parked in front of that house.”) but nothing about racism makes a damn lick of sense, so...
