“AND OR “ always reminds me of logic gates .

I feel a mention is deserved for Dedra Meero - the imperial intelligence officer who is piecing together evidence of the existence of coordinated rebel activities - along with her colleagues. They’re essentially the Empire’s Gestapo and as the series seems to be taking its inspiration from WW2 spy thrillers, they’re…

Wow what a jerkoff. I would’ve been fucking enraged at the arrogance. As if he’s up to anything so vital that he can’t wait in line with other people for a few minutes.

I think the aspect of Andor I appreciate most is how it repudiates the depiction of “evil” that has dominated Star Wars in both the prequel- and sequel-era films. Any shot at drama in those six movies was undone by bad guys that amounted to Saturday morning cartoon characters that had no motivation to be evil other…

I remember back in The Dark Ages of elementary school, when I first read Romeo and Juliet, that my English teacher’s first words about it were this: “You will find out everything that happens in the story in the first couple of paragraphs. The point is the story, not the ending.”

Wes Anderson is feeling a disturbance in the Force, as if his scripts are in danger

A timeline? No slideshow?

This is a recurring problem with Marvel movies and TV shows. The antagonists are given ample opportunity to reveal their motivations and usually take full advantage of that time to lay out exactly why they do what they do. The protagonists aren’t given much time, if any, to explain themselves or the moral/ethical…

I am not tired of seeing Jennifer Lawrence everywhere.

Well when the alternative is uncle-fucking Rhaenyra who kills and burns an innocent dude so she can ship her gay hubby off, yeah.

“Richest guy in the entire Shire” is basically meaningless, though. It doesn’t translate to any of our current markers of richness, such as power, luxury or lesiure. He was basically on par with all the other hobbits in his class.

I mean... dude’s absolutely right.

Stop blaming mental health. He's just an awful, racist, shitty person

I’d be as disillusioned as Moore if I thought I’d written sufficiently pathetic, disgusting repudiations of the fascist superhero mindset and people decided to unironically declare “Veidt was right!” and “Rorschach is the hero we need!” Then you have all those Thin Blue Line chucklefucks who emblazon Punisher skulls…

Yes. HotD is a misconceived cash grab with no reason to exist. Rings of Power is genuinely inspiring and entertaining. Characters you can root for go a long, long way.

Totally get where you’re coming from. I’ll admit I struggle with this to but try to remember that there are probably huge swaths of the audience for whom this is their entry to LOTR, particularly kids, which I think this show is perfect for. For a newcomer that’s enjoying the show, revealing that Galadriel has a…

The morning after the Stranger does his spell on the tree, the Grove is teeming with new life. The dead tree now bears juicy red apples. In return, Sadoc gives the Stranger directions to the big people, where he might find information on his lost stars. Nori gives him an apple before sending him on his way and…

Hmm, I dunno.

Celeborn is definitely not dead. Galadriel says she ‘never saw him again,’ unlike her brother, whose body was recovered. They’re going to have to answer where he’s been, but there’s an emotional reunion coming up in some future season.
