These are all great possibilities. And each come with their own repercussions.

Love the new opening credits. Much improved.

I was absolutely floored by Paddy the whole season. A lay-about self-soothing king who even the throne rejects with constant cuts and scrapes. A man who refuses to see the world around him and recoils into his own fantasy world while his very real kingdom crumbles from inattention. A man who brings his teenage daughter’s closest friend into his bed, and more often than he needed to ‘do his duty’. That same man made we weep with half a face from his grief. That throne walk. House of onions over here.

They look great. As long as that child is precocious and that man is tall. Loved this story and I hope it is done effectively.

Hard agree about the music, if it ain’t broke and all that. The visuals though are muddy. The house sigils are poorly delineated and the blood lines aren’t well animated. I would love for them to switch it up, at least the way GoT added new territories and houses.

Where’s da birfday boy? I got you some sauzage!

Omg, Liz Lemon is gorgeous! Such ferocity.

Your comment about Deadwood is resonating hard with me. Very well articulated, thank you.

I hated mushrroms my whole childhood. Ate magic mushrooms when I was about 19, and they changed my opinion of mushrroms in general. Like I suddenly appreciated their earthy, woody, umami beauty.

I like the way you think.

Yeah, it’s wild how much denial we’re in about this as a society. Neurological damage was widespread. I personally contracted Covid twice (that I know about) and had noticable difficulty with memory and keeping my train of thought. Something that I never had problems with previously. I think for a lot of people, the difference might not be that noticeable, and therefor is being ignored. I was a hypervigilant stress knot all my life. So now I just have even more anxiety because I can’t remember the entire grocery list in my head anymore.

Seems like you got the intended consequence. If you want to be honest and your partner can’t handle that honesty, maybe it is better to keep looking. I have a very hard time maintaining lies to continue relationships, and as a result I have very few, but incredibly high-quality friends.

I can see that being a core memory. And it would certainly keep me from falling asleep.

I don’t know why I hate it so much but any time it comes on the radio I am bothered by hearing it.
