The reason House of the Dragon skipped to King Viserys as its starting point is because that’s when the part that makes for a good show starts. Aegon’s story is just scene after scene after scene of “huge army is assembled, then dragons show up and effortlessly roast them all.”

The attempts to get five questions from dead people felt very much like the DM had suddenly decided to be a huge “rule lawyer” dick where even the players’ discussions out of character were added to the limit.

Maybe if they brought Stockard Channing back, with everyone acting like it’s completely normal this obvious old woman is playing a teenager, just like when she was in her 30s. That’s the kind of gag I can get behind.

Hear me out on this one: three or four movies with these same characters, but in vastly different settings. Then the final scene is the same actors revealed to be playing all these campaigns in the real world, with some huge unexpected cameo as the Dungeon Master.

I just love telling people that the star of Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead has a writing Oscar.

So it turns out Jennifer Aniston was just doing some preemptive “The world is too woke for my genius movie” press.

They just got all of the top associates forced to testify because they spent these years chipping away at any possibility of executive privilege claims.

Which is a shame for Nicola, who proved herself a…

That scene from Rear Window is absolutely one where I can imagine the entire theater screaming, and I really hope I get to see it that way sometime.

One adaptation issue I’m really interested in is that the Starks’ big role in the Dance of Dragons only comes after every single major character currently on the show is dead. The people behind the show will definitely want to include them thanks to their popularity from Game of Thrones, but they also have to know…

It’s a weird feeling rewatching The X-Files and realizing that Mulder would absolutely be into Qanon.

This is a weird thing to turn into a cinematic universe. And why did they recast Ralph Fiennes?

Come on, long piece!

We’re about to find out a whole lot of racist characters were an essential part of a lot of people’s childhoods.

There’s also the upcoming prequel series about how Winston came to take over the New York Continental, though I won’t be watching as long as Mel Gibson is a part of it.

And my favorite, Tony nicknaming the Hulkbuster armor Veronica in contrast to Betty.
