I would agree with your synopsis. Overall it was a good binge worthy series.
That kind of makes sense, but it also seems like it would advance technology out of necessity, just like warfare. Of which there seems to be a lot also.
It’s fantasy. Same suspension of disbelief for Lord of the Rings.


It’s funny that for all of the influence that the high Middle Ages has on our cultural zeitgeist, it only lasted a few hundred years as it is portrayed in pop culture and in fantasy.

This is a pretty good summary

I like her leveling up because she has been awful for a long time now. So at least now she can possibly be usefu
Agree on both parts. I wish I could say the same for Ellis. He doesn’t seem to be very involved in the story, except to have conversations about what’s happening.

I like the idea someone mentioned a few pages back that fat Clara didn't give all of the talismans

There has to be a company wide memo that everyone accepts as fact that essentially expresses, if the place promises you are going home, you aren’t. It lies.

quote: -Julie (and her hair) can still storywalk. That's a pretty big ability to reveal and then just set aside.

My biggest gripe of the season I think.


This gets back to my somewhat negative review a few weeks ago comparing it to Lost. That show had so many loose strings that it couldn’t tie them all up. I feel like this golem thing as well as the totems/killer dolls and the lake settlement are going to get pushed aside.

I do think it would have made for better writing if at least one person in the town was suspicious of Sophia and without the knowledge of the Man in the Yellow Suit.

The Boy in White pisses me off. He doesn’t seem very helpful lately.

Speaking about lessons from his mother.
I kind of listened to bands like AC/DC and KISS when I was a teenager, but I was well into my twenties before I really got into 70s classic rock. As a teenager, I was into hair bands, then made the switch to grunge like most of us did.

I was at that show and I don’t know what you are talking about.

The Garth Brooks hate on this site is unreal. He’s the most prolific and successful country singer from the 80s and 90s, his shows are incredible, it’s pretty clear he legitimately loves his fans. He actually wrote a lot of his hits.

The rehashed idea that Garth ruined country music is laughable. He obviously tapped into something that already existed, much like Nirvana or Rush Limbaugh.


OMG, he’s a lib!!!

We just watched this with our great niece. Wow. How do they keep coming up with original stories that are also winners? It really does prove that a well told story trumps everything.

And what an emotional gut punch with Jessie. I didn’t see that coming at all.

Good job Pixar.

I think Adams has a quote that says something to the effect of

“We celebrated the press release instead of the event”

quote:

It felt like a goal was coming the whole match even though it didn’t
I noticed this also. Maybe soccer just isn’t for me.
Imagine watching two golfers putt the ball back and forth for 96 minutes. That’s what I just watched.
So I’ve been watching the World Cup for the last 45 minutes. It’s so boring. They kick the ball back and forth for twenty minutes, then it looks like something will happen. Nothing happens. Then they kick the ball around again. I don’t get soccer.
This one will be remembered for the social media event that is Europeans discovering that the United States is awesome.

Found this at a beer store here in Huntsville.

FBD.




I’ve pretty much abandoned glasses. It is what it is.
They aren’t on their phones and are focusing on the activities
It didn’t make it. Tree guys came today. They left me some firewood. I’m having a beer in its honor.

This isn’t the first time she’s hid something from you. Y’all have issues.


Not gaslighting you, but why would she feel like she needed to hide it from you?
