  1. I agree it was ridiculous he was there and I thought at least we’d see more of Josh and Charles unexpectedly bonding beyond just seeing them laugh at Liza but nope. However. As much as I find Charles attractive and on paper he SHOULD be the better match I’m finding him boring and really getting tired of him throwing how much he gave up for Liza in her face all the time. I’d start to feel trapped in a relationship like that because yowza what kind of guilt if she decides he’s not right for her? Would she feel obligated to stay? i was team Charles but I’ve switched to team Josh. It could be because this 43 has recently developed a ridiculous crush on a 29 yo .....so maybe I’m projecting. I would love to meet an age appropriate non guilt tripping Charles though. This show. Crazy.
  2. Actually I don’t remember which Indian Jones it was but wasn’t there a scene with Indy fighting someone on a tank or something and his head was really close to the treads? Maybe it actually was raiders. Man it’s been forever since I watched those movies.
  3. Is it awful that when I saw Joyce hugging Will at the end I got totally pulled out of the moment and mumbled “Joyce you have TWO sons are you concerned about Jonathan at ALL?” And THEN she just stood there looking sadly at Eleven instead of going over and hugging HER. Bad form Joyce. The lack of Will and Jonathan interacting was weird and they didn’t even look at each other when they were hiding behind a car together basically hoping not to die. and while I understand Max not wanting Billy to die because she is a good person based on what we SAW of their relationship the extreme sad emotion from her when he died didn’t seem to fit. Maybe if we ever saw kindness in the midst of his torture of her we’d get it but nothing. And I didn’t like the scoop troop separating from everyone almost IMMEDIATELY after reuniting with them. Ok. With all that being said I still do love this show and hope they don’t go so long between seasons.
  4. How big is that hospital? Shouldn’t Will have felt the mindslayer when it was directing those two guys to begin with? And oh my lord that moving glob of melted humans was gross.
  5. I just find it hard to believe Tyrion and Jon were even still alive. That Gray Worm didn’t kill them immediately in anger/grief is shocking. Why is Gray Worm going to listen to a king that isn’t his and is elected by Lords and ladies he doesn’t care about? Is it just because he’s followed orders all his life? I actually said out loud when Tyrion was making his speech for Bran to be king “well this is stupid”. Who has a better story than Bran? How about half the people sitting in those chairs? Also apparently if Tyrion cries I cry. Last episode with Jaime and this one when he finds Jaime and Cersei dead. Rip my heart out Peter Dinklage.
  6. Yes! That is exactly what I thought in that moment. I even sat with my mouth open for a moment and said “nooo” out loud. To an empty room.
  7. I just love that you mentioned he smelled nice. Thanks for the info!
  8. I don’t think she restrained herself. I think she retreated because it was too dangerous for Drogon. I guess...she had enough restraint to protect him. The ships were metal plated on top of having the dragon spears weren’t they? Unless I saw that wrong?
  9. Oh unfortunately I'm an old Highlander fan (ever since the original movie) so It's too late for me...I've already seen the Source. Although I've mostly blocked it out.
  10. Yes! I've watched more episodes since I posted and I think what really bothers me is how much she has to push and push to get him to make forward moves in their relationship. She blackmails him by endangering her own life just to get a key to his place. I think we were supposed to see it as necessary for her to do because he was so repressed and afraid of commitment and that he wouldn't agree to it if he didn't really want it but it just came off as he just wasn't that into her. He never really seemed to make the effort and she chased constantly. It really seemed like a male fantasy of a relationship with a beautiful woman with her doing all the work. Was it all male writers? whew I feel a little better that I'm not all alone in this!
  11. Thanks for the suggestion! I think that's what I'm gonna do. And like everyone else I am drooling at the thought of Adrian as Ras. Holy forking shirtballs that would have been amazing.
  12. Gah! I love my Duncan! I need to figure out what episodes he's in and finally watch them. I have a DVR full of Arrow I just can't get motivated to watch but this photo may finally do it! Or I go watch some Highlander......
  13. I'm ok with Sansa and Tyrion being in the crypt because there are plenty of good reasons for them to be there. What I don't like is that Arya is the only one who thought to give anyone down there a weapon? They had to know there was somewhat of a chance the crypt would be breached...and yeah they may not be fighters down there but if your life or a child's life is in danger you'll at least give it a SHOT. What...did they figure ig the wights got to them then all the soldiers are already dead and they might as well just stop fighting?
  14. I was thinking the same thing while trying to sleep last night. The North fought for everyone but those in the south and Dorn and the iron born ..etc..will maybe just be all "yeah yeah.. winter is coming we've heard these fairytales before northerners." They didn't have to sacrifice a thing! when I saw the night king grab Arya's throat I thought they were going to shock us and kill her...but good for her. She IS getting a tiny bit cocky though and this won't help (love her confidence but caution is never a bad thing either) so I hope that doesn't get her in trouble down the line. Umm did anyone protecting Brann have Valarian Steele on them? Or dragon glass blades? I know the plan was for Jon to show up but they all know plans don't always work obviously so a backup would have been smart. I mean they really gave Theon a suicide mission by not arming him properly.
  15. I just finished this and immediately texted my friend who was considering watching and told her not to. I can see why the acting was recognized everyone did an amazing job but man what a slog this was. TOO much atmosphere and not enough story. And the twist and quick cuts during the credits for the final episode was a bunch of crap. I went to the old threads to read and many more people said it more eloquently than me. I concur. However small towns were getting a lot of crap in those threads. Yes I wanted out of mine (town with a pop of 700 and now live in a city with 3 million people) but not because small towns are an evil hell hole. Yes the boredom and everyone knowing everyone's business could get toxic but there we're also some of the kindest people you will ever meet. Small towns don't have an exclusive on racist sexist homophobic small minded people. It's just that small towns provide the microscope and can also create an echo chamber where you don't get a chance to experience any other truth. I may be undoing my own point here...
  16. I am JUST now getting around to watching this episode and mostly to make room on my DVR for GOT. This is awful. I fast forwarded any time Chloe and Lucifer were alone and started talking about relationships. So basically I ended up fast forwarding EVERY time the two leads of the freaking show were on. I really hate this romance. I know we maybe a bit of a echo chamber on here but surely there can't be that big of a fan base for this chemistry free pair? Please free Lucifer so he can be interesting again or I'm not in for the Netflix revival. Poor Maze. She's right no one deserves her.
  17. Dude. I know. It's going to be a ROUGH weekend.
  18. Yeah id like to say I'm done but I love Margo and Eliot so it's hard. How are they all even really going to tie together anymore? I find I don't care about the library or hedges so...all Fillory all the time? Don't know if I want that either. I have noticed that almost all of the actors have felt the need to jump in on social media and tell the audience they hear them and they are sorry but the writers/showrunners haven't said jack since that initial run of "aren't we the coolest most creative for killing the initial main character/white guy" posts (and Sera posted something about a dog). Otherwise crickets. I really do wonder if they expected the really really negative reaction or thought it would be mostly immediate grief followed by "can't wait to see where the story goes!" I mean I'm really curious. Is it all any press/buzz is good press zippidy dooo dah?
  19. Oh shoot. I just realized you were the poster that was so excited in escape from the happy place thread. I also wanted to jump in and stop you from continuing (probably a lot of us did) and it was heartbreaking to see how thrilled you were knowing what was coming. But we don't "spoil" on here. I feel like the Q/Eliot shippers often feel like they have to justify being angry as not just a shipper thing but if it adds any validation I wasn't a shipper for those two (I wasn't against it I just wasn't invested although I absolutely love both characters) and still hated how this went down. I think I've said it before but I don't really ship anyone on the show which is so odd for me. I just want to see all the friends together saving the day and screwing up but then trying to fix it with fish magic and cake.
  20. I watched episode 2 on Sunday. The writing is comically bad. At one point while Matthew was sniffing her and describing her smell I had to mute it it was just so cringe worthy. It really is a bunch of overwrought vampire/witch lore and everyone is just taking themselves so damn seriously. I "crave her". Witch wind. Seriously? At this point I'm watching for beautiful scenery, and I include Matthew Goode in that, and spotting actors from other shows I love like "Molly" from Sherlock and "evil boyfriend whose name I can't remember" from British version of Being Human. so bad.
  21. I just loved the way Tyrion told Jamie "we are going to die....at Winterfell." The TONE in his voice when he said Winterfell really conveyed it all. I laughed out loud. was it just me or did Ghost look really small? I actually thought it was just some random regular wolf up there with Jon and Sam but It must be Ghost. Why is a dire wolf so much harder to do with effects than a dragon?
  22. Oh my gosh I didn't even think of that! Why would it have broken the mirror and not just flown into the seam? And why ARE nickels bigger than dimes? So I'm an idiot and added Cruel World to my Spotify playlist because it's a pretty song and I thought I'd be fine...then it came on while I was on the train and I started picturing Qs death scene. Not ok. Good song though. I think I've moved to the anger phase of grief. I didn't need to be shocked that they killed the main character. I'm ok accepting that certain characters are safe. There is still drama there. This isn't walking dead or GOT. This is my fun show with friends who work together on quests and even if they die can be called to angrily chime in to do an awesome musical number from the underworld. I don't like that the writers tried to make this show something that it's not or doesn't need to be (at least for me). Can't believe I'm still bothered by this. It really wouldn't bother me as much if Jason wanted to leave and they had to write his death in...fine..but no they just decided to go this way after a pretty disjointed season and seriously...the monster and his sister that was supposed to be 10 times scarier than him just ended up being underwhelming. What did she even do? Talked really slowly, killed some librarians, stole a scroll and got snarky with Alice. To have Q die for THIS storyline? It would have had more impact to die for the quest for goodness sake.
  23. So I rewatched the ending, because I'm a masochist and sometimes you need a good cry. Watching it knowing FOR SURE that there would be no miracle save for Q was even harder. But it also made me notice something I noticed the first time around but was too worked up about Q to mention. After Q dies and Penny and Alice escape the mirror world water leaks out of the mirrors. Was that supposed to be overflowing magic from Qs spell rebound? Something else? I guess it could represent all of our collective tears.
  24. Wow. I think I have a super unpopular opinion but I never saw chemistry between Michael and Fiona. Don't get me wrong I LOVED the show and came to appreciate her as part of the team but the romance felt forced. I'd say it's Gabriel's acting but I did enjoy her friendship with Sam so? Don't know. All I know is I shipped Jeffrey Donavan hard with Vera Formiga on Touching Evil so I've felt the chemistry with him before just not with these two. Fiona can really annoy the hell out of me in an episode. Gonna go hide now. It's just I started rewatching some season 1 because I missed the show and Jeffrey's voice. I love his voice. I wanted to come see what people had to say. (and rewatch is reminding me I've always wanted to really Try breaking a lock with compressed air and a hammer).
  25. So this morning I'm making coffee and randomly Q saying "Falcor..." pops in my head and I smile and then get sad. I also didn't love Q when this story began but somehow grew to love him. I'm gonna miss his genuine heart. Oh my gosh yes!!! Julia being there would have been better although it would have ripped my heart out ten times more. I just don't like Alice. Like at all. They are really going to have to work a miracle for me to be interested in her next year. But it's doable I guess because a couple of Seasons ago I didn't much like Julia. I'd say I'm not sure if I want to watch next year but I'm here for Margo and Elliot as long as there is minimal Josh. I STILL don't understand that romance. Actually I'm not liking any of the romances. Let's stick to friends. Aww Q. I can't believe this is still bothering me the next morning.
