    Wheel of Time

    That episode was better than the previous two...so it's back up to the mediocre quality I have come to expect. I would rather watch boring lesbian interactions over the gay warden shit, and an unimpactful 5 minutes of crying funeral. The interpersonal interactions, all generally suck though...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    With paying for the dog and training, is it still cheaper than getting a Jackass or Llama? Was reading recently that Llamas make good heard defense and you can sell their wool for a little something, but they are still rather expensive here (depending on coat quality). Aquick search a few...

    Exactly. I'm good with them all staying clothed. Kovaks, who exactly would you want to see naked? Fringilla: Phillipa: Yennefer: Triss: Fenn: 5 picture limit: Ciri may be 20, but she has the body of a 14yo boy.

    As soon as that funeral for the suicide warden started, I skipped ahead 30 seconds, nothing changed, 30 seconds, nothing changed, 30 seconds, oh now they are crying, 30 seconds, 30 seconds, 30 seconds, 30 seconds...etc...credits roll... The episodes have been progressively less interesting...

    Well he did introduce himself as L'Oréal, son of Mohg, who was son of Fingerbanger the Great (or some such, again, its hard to catch all these fantasy names on first pass).

    Dune (2020)

    Good point. It may be intentional, as to contrast the prim and proper world of the high houses in the first to that of the second movie; where they can show the kinship and comradery of the Fremen.

    Curb your Enthusiasm

    Wat? The Larry and Leon situation is modeled after the real world relationship of OJ and Kato. You know Leon wouldn't snitch on Larry, if he had killed Sheryl.

    Weird, although he is French, and they are a bunch of pederasts, like the dutch...er I mean, their age of consent is 15... Here is his current (4th wife): They were married in 2004, when she was 32. So maybe he...grew out of it.

    Succession

    Well, Pride and Prejudice is great, but only due to the glowing reviews by Mark Twain: "Jane Austen? Why I go so far as to say that any library is a good library that does not contain a volume by Jane Austen. Even if it contains no other book." - quoted in Remembered Yesterdays, Robert...

    Wheel of Time

    Even though the show "Episodes" is a comedy, it is probably pretty accurate in terms of how the writers with a vision can get pushed around by the rest of the crew (and other writers who are just there for a paycheck). Everyone has their own opinions on the script, who should get more screen...

    Wheel of Time

    I agree that it would be nice if they just followed the source and, from what I have read here, it makes little sense to change what they did. Both this show and Foundation could have probably been in the 8.0+ territory, if they had just followed the books. Unfortunately, for book readers, they...

    Well, there could be "plausible" survival paths, maybe. Like his partner's magic/hextech/greengoo experimental body allows him to grab and somehow save/teleport Jayce.

    Wheel of Time

    More like that there is a level of bad acting that people are willing to tolerate, and that bar is dependent on the person. Compounding that is that every Sci-fi or fantasy show seems to have X% of bad actors so it's par for the course. For example, Jason Momoa is a bad actor, and yet, I was...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Small point of personal privilege: A male is a Incubus and it will just be a glyph, so it's whatever. I may skip 9.2, but I will buy at least 6 months for 9.3 (maybe a few shop items as well, hell, will probably buy WC3R and D2R, while I'm in the shop interface)!

    To start off, I guess being a meathead jock computer geek (in high school), instead of a book reading computer nerd pays off in this day and age. I don't have to see EVERYTHING (only some things) I loved as a kid, get ruined by Hollywood. The promise of Reading Rainbow really fucked yall over...

    If you want to go Unifi, you can start in the $120 to $250 range and step it up as needed, you can buy 1 lite disk (access point) for $99 or 1 long range disk (access point) for $179, and place it at the opposite side of the house from the router. See if that gets enough coverage. The more walls...

    Tankless water heaters need some serious energy output and a decent amount a pipe. For what measly amount of pipe that could fit in that head, there is no way that small thing has enough power to take tap water up to 100F. So, this would still need a water heater, and is probably only made to...

    Dune (2020)

    Wasn't it Villeneuve that dismissed all the sound complaints in an interview for BR2049, saying that his movies are tuned for the theater standard, and people with home systems don't have it set up right, or just have shitty equipment?

    The Expanse

    It would be difficult to convincingly age up the whole cast that much, but at the same time, none of them (outside of Avasarala) would be dead from old age yet. I wonder what the minimum amount of years they could get by with, and not ruin the story.

    The Expanse

    How big is the time jump from book 6 to 7? People, previously in the thread, made it sound like they would need a whole new cast of characters for book 7, 8 and 9, anyway. For non-book readers, who don't discuss this show on a message board, a whole new cast would probably cause a bunch of...

    A few different issues with the show in the US, I imagine. Amazon doesn't really promote the UK shows they host, outside of Prime, and then it is only for a short time when it is released. For the show itself, the reviews paint a good picture for why is didn't take off. In large part it is...

    I would assume that part of the issue the writers have, when they are bringing it closer to current times, is that they are afraid of stepping on the toes of people (politicos, oligarchs, & cartels) that have the power to hurt them (the producers, director, actors, crew, & writers). There were...
