I mean, there’s lots of paths but only six endings; they’re not likely to adapt the Frenzied Flame or Despair endings. The most “cinematic” ending is probably Rannis? 

Does this show actually have anybody organizing against it? Even the MAGA dipshits love it, despite being too stupid to realize it’s about them

I’m still pretty convinced that this is the case. Whoever killed the wookie did it just before Mae arrived (the wound was still smoking), so that lets out anybody else. 

There was a Three Body Problem TV show in China a whole year before the Netflix version. The movie is probably in response to the popularity of that show. 

I don't think anybody's lost that ability, they're just less willing to invest a small fortune to go see these movies when they can wait until they come to Netflix and vaguely watch them while folding laundry.

Maybe not, but my kids didn't know who Travis Scott, Ariana Grande or Billie Eilish were either, and they sure as hell do now. Besides which, the songs they've picked for this are peak pubescent boy tunes, and so pitch-perfect for the playerbase

if there was an in-universe movie about the events of the first game, this would be that movie. it's kind of perfect in an awful way

like most of us I’m bored on a Sunday? why are you here?

tbh this looks like the best possible adaptation of what are very often terrible games, so on that level it is the most faithful adaptation

Wild! 

I don’t know what to tell you other than I’ve seen the OT literally dozens of times, and the Prequels much less often.

is it an iconic line or a hallmark of not-great Lucasian dialogue? i never would have associated it with Star Wars if you hadn’t pointed it out.

God I hope not. Germain is by far the worst reviewer on the site. An unstoppable creator of content, but an abysmal writer.

The answer rhymes with “benormous bolygon brack.”

Yeah, as I said that’s the most generous reading of the material. I’ve seen it elsewhere, and I would be inclined to buy it if this wasn’t RTD’s second kick at a first season of Doctor Who, and there weren’t a healthy history of stories with silly bullshit endings that made no real sense (remember when the world was…

Yeah, that’s the most generous reading I’ve seen so far of the episode -- the rules are just suspended, feel it out -- which is a great copout for RTD

“Boom” was literally about a landmine, so that's 3/4

I was 100% on board with “ghost operating on logic inaccessible to the audience” for the first 75% of the episode, because that’s cool and intriguing; I was even willing to accept “ghost makes people inimical to Ruby specifically except this one time it drives a fascist out of public life just because.”

Drove the world to the brink of nuclear war? Pfft. Call me when the PM enslaves humanity with the help of far future sadistic heads

“so you called your*self* Plagueis?”
