Half Life 3 confirmed!

If youre gonna claim someone is iconic and instantly recognizable, the reaction to them shouldnt be “who?” And it is.

I realize this is a comedy, but when they did that part where the judge needed time to consider if real magic that creates interdimensional portals should be considered the same as sleight-of-hand illusions, I just groaned hard. It wasn’t even a joke or anything, just another damn lazy plot beat.

Are you kidding? I like voting so much I did it twice!

And we don’t even really know Alicent’s age. All we know is that she was close friends with Ryaenyra. That does not mean that they are exactly the same age. Alicent could easily be 2-3 years, maybe even 4 years, older, which would put her at the same age she was in the books, 19. Mind you, 19 is the age of Diana…

I can tell you this; both of them pale drastically in comparison to my multivolume 5000 page epic saga Busty Lesbians of Agarathor, available now at most good bookshops. (Some of them chased me away and called the police when they caught me sneaking it on the shelves, but I shall not be silenced!)

As an Irish I was just disappointed when I looked up the actors and none of them were actually Irish. If you’re going to make them like Leprechauns then can’t some Irish actors at least get the work?

Star Wars and Star Trek are always compared to each other but probably shouldn’t be. I feel the same about these two: LOTR is (mostly) for the whole family and GOT is for adults only. Also, the former is about fantasy while the latter is essentially a fictional historical drama with fantasy elements peppered in it.

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

The time jump was the worst kind. It shunted the characters as they existed at the end of episode 2 forward in time, but did not give them 3 years of character development. It glossed over the things the writers wanted to jettison, and it progressed the things they wanted to retain, all without putting the work in.…

Terrible recaps *and* a slideshow?  SOLD

maggot therapy worked too well.

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…

Take it easy with the snarky asides and exclamation points - what is this, Mad Magazine in the 90s?! Wacka wacka wacka. God damn.

I love how in both shows, whenever a dragon shows up the opposing side gets this look like “Oh, I somehow completely forgot those things exist.”

We’re done with the damn Stepstones.

I’m having a difficult time caring about any of these characters.

I’m with you on feeling a bit disappointed in the show. It’s not bad but it’s not great either. I’m not a big MCU person (came to the show as a Tatiana Maslany fan) so maybe it’s partly because I don’t have the understanding/appreciation of the whole context of the world, but the episode plots feel lacking and the…

“The ultimate protection against trolls is writing a top notch script and sticking the landing with the execution.”

Rings of Power makes House Of The Dragon look silly by comparison. They had good reason to worry.
