Lol this article was posted for us to laugh at the guy, right? Nobody should feel bad for him. Nobody.

Hard disagreement on Age of Extinction. Not saying Revenge of the Fallen isn’t guilty of everything you wrote. But Age of Extinction was such a relentlessly unpleasant and lazy slog that it made 15 minutes of Dinobot action boring. They were the only reason I bothered to watch the movie and I found myself more drawn

I really appreciate that these recaps/reviews don’t include book spoilers. I understand commenters can’t be expected to hold back direct or indirect references to events in the books, which some commenters seem to relish giving away, but it’s nice to find good recaps/reviews that stick to just the show.

I watched S1 this past weekend for the first time and while I will say the show is pretty excellent so far, I am annoyed that the theme song is the same as it was in GoT.

One nice touch in this episode that was subtle, but a nice throwback to S1E1: after Alicent shoos away her handmaidens in the bath, she scrubs herself rather harshly over and over again in the same spot on her shoulder while staring, eyes unfocused, nearly lost to the tension and fear after her conversation with Larys.

I find it odd too. I would’ve thought that they could have done some variation on the theme and keep it recognizable but somewhat different. Seems a little bit lazy to just keep it identical.

Since the first episode opens cold and doesn’t feature the music until the ending I was hoping the version with the chorus at the end of S1E1 was

In an episode full of great acting, the best is when Jace arrives to inform Rhaenyra of the alliances with the Vale and Winterfell and neither can get many words out without the emotion of Luke’s death seeping through.

The list was going to be my comment. Growing up in the 1980s and 1990s, this was a phrase I heard all the time and it made sense. Use less. Reuse what you can. Recycle the rest. But by the mid 1990s, all you ever heard was recycling, which was always the most difficult, the most energy intensive, and the least likely

This is what happened from Oshas perspective

The lack of media literacy in the reviews and reactions to this weeks episode is staggering.

How was their religion paganistic and selfish? I haven’t heard the Jedi mention anything about God or Christ so does that make them pagans too? Maybe it’s because the coven was made up entirely of women. That always sets certain types of for some reason.

Rather also outed and harassed Elliot Page on the set of X-Men 3.

Except, if you look closely, they weren’t burned. They were dead before the fire reached them. How’d that happen? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Routh is gay.

And not on the subtle side either. She's a legit lunatic about it.

Stepping away from what seems like the obvious choice (wealth and fame) can feel scary at times, but stepping into your dharma replaces the fear with fulfillment.

She wants time off to spend with her friends:

Right... so lots of mixed feelings about this one. Much like the previous story, 73 Yards, it’s an episode that keeps you glued to the screen and mostly hits, but as soon as it’s over, you immediately stop and think “wait a second, that’s one hell of a gaping plot hole. Why wasn’t that fixed in the final draft?”

I took the “you’re not one of us” comment to mean his socio-economic status. These are the uber-rich after all. Lindy saw him as working class, thanked him for doing his job of getting her out as he should have, but otherwise had no time for him. The main reason I didn’t, and still don’t, see the racist angle is
