  1. I just rewatched this episode, and it reinforced my thought that Richard Rankin is likely the best craftsman on the series. Did he win an Emmy for this episode? If not, he should have. My God. The poor man is saddled with Sophie.
  2. Next season Midge will: Lose Lenny to OD Console her ex-husband who loses his baby and girl to a botched abortion Get back together with her ex-husband, in a drastically different role and place
  3. Please, for the love of God, recast Brianna. Lots of great moments for book readers, some verbatim exchanges too, which were nice to see live acted.
  4. 100% agree. I've been thinking the entire time that the truly funny was gone this season.
  5. Well, here we are. 4 episodes in. Mehdimehmeh. Pretty sure I'm still holding out for A Song of Elisa Marie. Sorry Sikora.
  6. If you go to starz.com you can get an offer for $20 for 6 months.
  7. Yennefer can die in a fire. What is seen, cannot be unseen Geralt. She was going to sacrifice a child. She even admits it with "I didn't know who she was....!" Meaning "If she wasn't who she was, you bet your ass." Then again, we knew this about Yen from The Be-Eeling.
  8. Let's see. Primarily due to the actors, Thom Merrillin is my favorite character so far. Then Perrin. Followed by Nynaeve. Then Mat. The guy playing Lan can stay for the pretty. Everyone else can go hop in a trolloc cookpot.
  9. The diversity casting is really bothering me in the way it's being used. The books went very far out of their way to give so many different regions rich, deep, cultures. From customs, to politics, to physical characteristics, to food, to fashion, to music. The forced blend everywhere is very distracting, especially in places that are supposed to be backwater, out of the way places that no one has come to or left since The Breaking. There would have been no less diversity in this series given that it spans the entire globe, had they just let the cultures be what they are in the books.
  10. This is just so scary realizing how front and center her and Roger become in the series. They needed someone who was as talented as Catriona to take on the female lead role.
  11. I hope Sam was just out of his wig, because blonde Jamie doesn't work at all.
  12. As are most anti-vaxxers. Just because they believe differently than you doesn't make their motivation any less pure or well intentioned. Being good and misguided/stupid are perfectly capable of coexistence. As for the show, Tony Danza was a good guess, but he can definitely sing. Holy cow has he aged badly though.
  13. Robert Jordan. Diana shouldn't feel invincible. He wasn't that old. Git 'er done.
  14. I only fuck with Elisa. No to the show.
  15. Anything interesting from Paleyfest?
  16. Maybe he doesn't want it there and doesn't want to get typecast.
  17. If you've ever been in healthcare, you'll know that you learn to give shots with an orange as it's thickness and resistance feels quite similar to giving shots to a human or animal. Which is how Marsali offed the Brown guy as she was learning to use a syringe. I enjoyed the oranges.
  18. True grief is known in the quiet places. The showers, the bathtubs, the closets, the back yard, the corners, the hallways, the kitchens, the floors, the cover of night and the million other places where no one will see. And then you get up. And get on with it. And, if you do it well, no one sees.
  19. The 'sled' is (theoretically) a travois, and a regular part of Native American toolsets. He undoubtedly learned to build one when he was forced to as the Indians' slave. Interestingly, they were often pulled by by a dog(face). It's made wrong, but they tried.
  20. What is going on with Sophie Skelton and David Berry? Anything? The chemistry between them could have lit the props on fire. There was no Bree and LJG in that scene at all.
  21. It's classic Weiss and Benioff. That shit's endemic out there in Holly-out-of-touch. "It'll make the Roger becomes a minister plot line so much more!" Barf.
  22. The American revolution kicked off at Lexington and Concorde and had nothing to do with tea. The government was attempting to confiscate people's guns.
  23. You gotta be fuckin' kidding me. They're having the Roger Comes Back from the Dead episode on Easter Sunday? I'm not even Christian and that's some callous disrespect. And some dickhead probably laughed about it and skipped this week on purpose.
