  1. We named our son Liam. While that has become an extremely popular name if he ever asks I won’t lie to him. Yes you were named after Liam Neeson
  2. Lol yeah those reviewers probably just got triggered when Egweyne told Rand she was choosing a career over him. Probably set off a lot of their incel tendencies.
  3. High Fantasy Show makes strong debut as Amazon doubles down on genre with sci fi adaption. 🙄 ok deadline
  4. Agreed. I LOVE Sunshine and I also don’t hate the 3rd act. But it’s def a major drop off. The first 2/3’s of the movie are an atmospheric master piece. Then it turns into some shitty horror-esque finale that doesn’t pull off the Event Horizon vibe it was going for.
  5. I like that topic. 28 Days Later comes to mind. That movie is incredible till the soldiers show up.
  6. I don’t know how i forgot to include the first Ori. That game is utterly flawless
  7. that’s how I took it. Above all she has to protect the dynasty and him staying alive would have caused too big a rift or whatever.
  8. Empire is def up there with Tyrion Lannister for favorite TV characters for me. The fact that he could be that cold in his revenge and then be merciful(but really that was disgusting selfishness). Amazing.
  9. Yeah agreed. Those parts were flawlessly done as well. Episode 3 deviates a bunch but it was def my favorite of the 3 episodes so far. Curious to here what you think.
  10. What a fucking finale. Holy shit. I legit have not been this excited about or invested in a show probably since Game of Thrones. From where it started with “well this world is at least pretty I won’t mind spending some time in it” to “omg wtf is going on this is amazing what’s happening next” 😂😂 amazing show and I literally can’t wait for season 2. And yeah, that’s gotta be the most savage punishment in the history of media.
  11. When Moraine tells the story of Monetherane(no idea how to spell that)…yeah they had me all in after that.
  12. I would agree with this almost exactly. Personally im enjoying the music more than most it seems haha. I also really enjoyed Thom’s song. That’s something I was really really hoping they’d so since in the book such a big deal is made of songs for entertainment but you only ever get the names of them(for the most part). Agreed about the humor, the few attempts at it made me chuckle a bit. That’s got to a be a tough balancing act for them. For a TV show you want to have some kind of levity but there really isn’t much from the books for them to go off since no one is really written to be funny. Sorta Mat but not really. Also agree about the CGI, I completely do not understand anyone complaining about it. Looks good to me 🤷🏻‍♂️ The effect they’re using to represent the One Power is outstanding IMO. Like you said, overall I’m most excited that so far this FEELS right. It’s such a balancing act to not make people think oh this is just a LoTR, Game of Thrones, hell even Witcher rip off. But this feels unique from them so far. The one thing I’m still worried about is pacing and the season only being 8 episodes. It feels like they’re teetering on the edge of moving too fast but haven’t yet.
  13. Keep going. The kids don’t have much to do for the first episode and a half. But the latter half of episode two and all of episode 3 they’re isolated with each other a bit more. So you get less of them just running and more time for them to actually talk and play off each other. Personally I’m very much enjoying the music. Nothing particularly of note to describe other than I do enjoy it. And these stories are filled with soooo many different cultural influences that honestly no style of music really will feel out of place. Each episode I’ve enjoyed more than the previous so far with 3 being head and shoulders the best IMO. Every change I think had made sense, I almost trust the show enough to stop worrying about what might be different haha.
  14. Cheesy Gordita Crunch is the goat Taco Bell item IF it’s made properly. But you’ve got about the same odds of getting one made fresh as you do getting fresh salted fries from McDonalds. Also the spicy potato soft taco off the dollar menu is not to be overlooked.
  15. First episode was good. I didn’t feel that particular episode was rushed. There’s def a good number of changes and for the most part I think they make sense. Overall I enjoyed the first episode, excited to see the next two
  16. Covenant, now there’s an utter piece of trash no one asked for. How do you do a sequel to Prometheus and it’s NOT about Shaw and David’s journey or what happens when they get there. F U Ridley. That being said, once more for the people in the back…Prometheus is fucking fantastic!
