His palate isn't refined enough to taste the difference between salted caramel (or any flavor) and regular oreos. Granted, neither are what you'd call sophisticated or complex flavor profiles, but there's a certainly a difference. What does food taste like in general to this guy? Cardboard?

Generally, I tend to agree with you. And certainly there's a number of Potter fans who seem to think that simply not liking it because it wasn't what THEY expected is a valid arguement for canonicity. That is some pretty obnoxious entitlement. However, in this particular arguement I've seen so many thoughtful,…

I accept Flipendo being canon from it's use in the video games far more readily than it's use in CC. For no other reason than I refuse to cave to JKR's demands that this particular steaming pile of hot garbage be considered canon.

… a plot device that JKR specifically wrote out of the series for that exact reason. It still boggles my mind that she didn't shut it all down as soon as Thorne, presumably, said "sooo, how about time-travel?".

I hear it is quite amazing to see on stage. I'm sure it is. But the general feedback I've heard is that if you had to pull it off in a small theatre, without a huge budget for effects and top actors, where it would rely heavily on the actual script- it would be pretty awful.

But, what's the major in-universe rule that's going to be conveniently broken, with weak reasoning, to make that happen? Lightsabers don't just lop off limbs, now they can ALSO cut a hole in the space-time continuum! Even that would be better, as to my knowledge that wasn't ever something Lucas SPECIFICALLY wrote in…

Rightfully so. Brace yourselves, Star Wars fans.

Blame Jack Thorne for it being terrible. Blame JKR for letting it be terrible. It certainly would have been less controversial had she not tacked on a "consider it canon" statement. That's what really pissed the fandom off.

Except, he didn't. From everything they've all said on the matter, Rowling was approached by those wanting to do a play, and then she, Tiffany and Thorne met to decide on a plot. So basically Thorne and Tiffany were spit-balling with her input. Cursed Child was definitely not a story she had already written or…

Ha! The Potter fandom is pretty split on that actually and I would say the "Cursed Child is garbage" camp is probably larger, or at least louder. But the point is, there is a very good case to be made that he does not in fact, know how to play in an established universe. Even by accounts from many who enjoyed it…

Yes, I've met more than I care to think about. They are delusional morons. I'm desperately hoping that originally it was an internet prank, given the youtube video they all uphold as their "proof", and just enough people were dumb enough to buy into it. I'm eagerly awaiting the moment this guy comes out with a…

Sean Biggerstaff. 15 year old me was soo into the whole "dreamy Quidditch captain with a Scottish brogue" thing. And with a name like that?..c'mon.

Yeah. Book version she is present for the whole meeting, gets frustrated with negotiations, loses her temper and angrily interrupts. She demands to know why nobody is bothering to talk about the fact that there was some kind of monster attacking everyone, which started the whole conflict. She then gets kicked out…

Oh my god! I was trying to think of that last quote in reference to another conversation awhile back, but for the life of me could not remember the wording or where it came from.. so thanks for that. Those are all oh so perfect.

The thing is, she is foulmouthed WHILE being exceedingly clever. Between the swear words are very carefully crafted thoughts, almost nothing she says is uncalculated. Every f-bomb and otherwise is there for a purpose, either to illicit a reaction, or to make people pay attention when her words might otherwise be…

Yeah, the whole torturing of a belter and betrayal of a friend resulting in his suicide definitely set her up to be pretty dispicable in the show, so I'm somewhat surprised by the turnaround and number of people fangirling/boying her. But, I myself am a huge fan of characters with a certain amount of moral greyness…

In season one there were a few shots of her with them. Not any in S2 so far.

That is a point better established in the books. The relief system is a mess, as is the chain of command regarding the supplies, particularly once they reach Ganymede. People acting out of fear and self-preservation, others taking advantage of the situation, it's just plain chaos.

Yes! I've been holding my tongue about it, not wanting to give anything away. But, agree 100%

Right? They totally skipped over Praxidike's time spent there, where we really learn about the cascade effect and how much of a shitstorm the attack really caused on Ganymede. They are delivering supplies to people who have already begun to starve to death, stuck on a rock whose life support systems could begin to…
