Oh, I was obsessed with her as a kid. Latin American soap operas were the new hit on TV back then and hers were my favorite. My ranking would be: Turmalina Natalia Oreiro Tu Veneno (don't know anything afterwards) I don't understand any Spanish, so it's interesting how much one can like a song while knowing nothing about what it's about.

As long as you're mine and especially For good are IMO pretty strong, but otherwise I agree. One movie would be a lot better, IMO.

I'm not completely sure of the process - can we suggest the images here if the show doesn't have any yet, or should we ask in the show's subforum first? If here, may I suggest this one for Good Omens?

Um. I'm an only child, but I'm pretty sure the answer is no, you don't have to.

IMO, everyone can voice their opinions, but those who have a large number of followers should recognize how much influence they can have over people (some of whom might be pretty stupid and naive and take their advice from their favorite celebrities) and at least think before they post something, especially unverified claims. It doesn't much matter to me if it's anti-vax, anti-trans, antisemitic rewrite of history or some tankie BS. All have capacity to hurt many real people. Then the next problem is that many people now demand statements from celebrities, so it can be a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" thing. Somebody will be mad at them anyway, even if they never post anything political.

Oh, yes. See also many shows/movies about the mob where people excuse them with "Oh, but they do it for their family", "They are such a close family", etc. Who cares? The people they hurt have families too. IMO, Joyce was lowkey retconned into this supermom once they decided to kill her off. And apparently some sort of mother figure to the other kids, which just didn't work with the previous seasons. Sure, there was the Dawn retcon, so she might have been more involved in the new reality, but we remember the original one and she wasn't that.

This is gonna be my new approach. Only watch the shows once they are ended and I've read that they had satisfying conclusion.

I know there is this trend of "tradwife" influencers, but I usually see it when somebody complains about it or tries to reason why it's BS - these women are making money doing their own business while basically arguing against that concept. It sounds quite toxic and it's sad how popular it is becoming, same with those toxic male influencers. I mean, if one likes it for aesthetic, you can get all of that without the backwards mentality. It's not like cooking, decorating homes and such ever went out of fashion. One can even make money in those industries without throwing half of the population under the bus.

I don't see that as a problem? I think Lorelai raised Rory how she wished that she had been raised, which is probably something most people do or at least try to do.

I could swear that Gandalf was confirmed as Gandalf in the last season's finale. Grand-Elf ... looks like some writer wanted their own "Hodor" moment. I've always found the Balrog fascinating as this ancient evil lurking and appearing mysteriously from the dark, but what exactly is his deal? He just exists, without any food, or energy from the light? Did the Dwarves know about him before this episode and why are they so calm now, why does it look like he was dealt with with just some rocks falling on him, surely anyone would presume he survived, no? (I understand that they probably have budget for one Balrog scene per season, but they could have had some council about what to do about him.) LOL, yeah, basically this. Did I miss explanation about Kemen going to the Southlands? He just suddenly appeared there, all smug and with punchable face. The characters in the south are my least favorite so he fits there. I did a little happy dance when Adar was killed. Sorry, but it was hilarious that he was stabbed by one of his "children" who was repeatedly asking him not to let them all die last episode... only for that Orc to be killed by Sauron in turn. Peak of the episode for me. Yes, give him some hot scenes with Miriel. Ehm. Sorry, I haven't shipped anyone in a while and it shows. Not sure if I count, I've read the 3 main books some 20 years ago and couldn't manage to reread them, but I love the movies. (And the Hobbit movies, despite being bored by that book.) No Silmarilion, or anything else. I liked it, but preferred the first season. These last few episodes seemed to pick up the pace, so I liked them more. Overall, I would rate this season as 6-7/10, the first one I guess 8/10. My main points of complain are not in the show itself, but in some parts of the fandom, like the Orc apologia in previous season, or people salivating over Sauron like some emo fuckboy.

After a long time, I have a new favorite straight ship on TV. from The Rings of Power. On the other hand, I can't believe that people are shipping Galadriel and Sauron. 🤮🤮🤮 Ugh. No, just no.

I think there's a trope like that, that a man is often shown with a woman even if it has no meaning for the plot, ideally coming out of his bedroom and never seen again. Not just to establish that he's heterosexual, but to make sure that we know he has an active sex life and is not, God-forbid, a virgin. Because a man is never a virgin, as we all know. /s

So I became invested in Celebrimbor's storyline this episode. Good performance (and a cute little mouse). Man, Sauron went full abuser-speak here, "You are the one making me hurt you, my hands are clean". Shut up, you evil psycho. To think that there are people out there who ship Sauron and Galadriel and are making him into some tragic hero, just like they did with that guy from the new Star Wars. 🤮 I finally got my Elrond&Durin moment, but it became sad with that missing army at the end of the episode. Does anybody else think the lighting is too dark, like the last seasons of GoT? I was watching it with my mom and when Celebrimbor was making his speech about light being the most important to fight darkness, she said "Then why is everything always so dark, hm?" LOL. God, I hope so. See, sad Orc, leaders like Adar are not your friends. They say they care about you, but then they are happy enough to sacrifice all your lives to reach their goals and will use some empty excuses about principles. I agree with those who say that they have a lot to wrap up in the next episode. Staying hopeful (mostly).

I liked the Miriel and Elendil scenes and I am a bit torn about them - I have a weakness for ships that are like: a queen/strong female leader + her bodyguard/captain of guards who is devoted to her. But just recently I have been thinking that it would be nice to see a couple like that that stayed completely platonic and here I thought that we got just that with these two characters. But now I am kind of not opposed to see them probably becoming romantically involved either, because it is working for me. Just a few more times of Elendil calling her "my Queen" and I will be probably all into it... ehm. What I mean is, I liked this episode more then the previous ones and it seems that it is finally picking some pace. Apparently Pharazon and his group didn't read the same guides how to usurp power that the Lannisters did, they should have blackmailed Elendil with his daughter's life if they wanted him to admit to treason and swear loyalty to them. I hate him and I hate his "my children" bullshit. "We are just poor orcs who want to live in peace after we kill a few more people and we want to have our own land, uwu." Yeah, the land that you destroyed and made inhospitable to normal humans last season. Spare me, please.

One of the radio stations that I listen to, that is known as the "oldies" station, is now playing songs from the late 1990's and early 2000's and I feel old. I remember many of them from my childhood. When I think of oldies, I think mostly 1960's to 1980's, but apparently it has changed now.
