Glad to hear. I'm terrible at these sort of games, but I want to get around to it eventually because the world sounds so appealing.

Does archery get more fun? On my playthrough I toyed with being a mage, but defaulted back to my 2-handed weapon-wielding Qunari badass and everytime I switched to the dwarf I got annoyed how sponged the enemies are.

Why though? Isn't the point kind of that if you want to play as a mage, throw them in your party and play as a mage?

Dragon Age's main story is great, but if a side mission seems boring, please God, for your own sake, skip it. It's flooded with traditional, manipulative side quests.

Call me when it rains.

Yeah, 8 or 9 episodes with fewer directors certainly would have helped its cohesion.

There's a built-in drama in making you root for and against characters you already are familiar with and maybe even like, as opposed to whatever the MCU is doing with Thanos right now. I'd rather see this than another generic uber-villain.

That was my first exposure to Nick Fury, to be honest. Made me a fan of the character immediately.

Foggy would work if Karen & Matt both groaned audibly and kind of hated his puns, but instead they embrace him wholly and think he's just a great little stinker.

I love Full Metal Jacket, but it came out 12 YEARS after the end of the Vietnam War?

It's part of the reason I never got around to the book. I just saw the movie, proceeded to read stacks of King for 15 years, and then realized one day (reading Wolves of the Calla) that I hadn't ever actually read the book.

"And seriously, who among us HASN'T wanted to murder Duvall's character?"

The British children were so poised, so unflappable, it was hard to tell how much psychological trauma was actually sinking in.

Though your concept is pretty neat, I still don't automatically disregard it because it's a remake. I'll disregard it when it's bad.

Exactly. If it's good, it's good.

How would it be connected to the original in a way that's not awful? Dan Akyroyd being brought in for a late-movie cameo to explain who Gozer is? Kristin Wiig referencing "the 1984 Manhattan incident"?

That's what they all say!

Yep, it's batboy. It's vintage terror for me too.

I've been watching it on NBC.com (piped into my TV), and for whatever reason it has no ads? Curious if they'll cut me off at some point.

Or just flashes of the title sequence. You'll definitely see that next week!
