I read an article that said they were originally planning on Geralt being more talkative in the show, but Cavill is able to convey so much in a single syllable (mostly "hmm" or "fuck", if you follow the memes) that they decided making him terse worked better.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

That's hilarious. But effective

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If you missed the previous discussion -t, Witcher season 1 jumps between multiple time periods and doesn't explicitly tell you it's doing it but rather expects the audience to put it together from dialogue and visual cues. This resulted in a lot of confusion for some people initially.
Ohhhhh. I've watched the first couple of eps and may go back to try again.

Witcher Season 1: Specifically, Ciri's timeline is the "present." While Geralt and Yennifer each start in their respective pasts and hop forward a random amount of time each time we see either of them until all the timelines sync up at the end of the season.

WoT:
I re-watched episode 8 the other night and I'm a little more comfortable with the changes. Especially since they apparently were plagued with production problems (lost ability to film in a key location, loss of a cast member, and COVID restrictions preventing the use of a lot of extras/stunt performers forcing them to completely change one of the major components of the episode. Still my least-favorite of the season, but I don't hate it.
Overall, I'd probably rank the episodes from best to worst 4,7,3,6,5,2,1,8.

New season of Umbrella Academy in March! I think. I can’t find where I saw that to link, so hopefully it wasn’t a dream. Looks like I picked a pretty good time to jump into this universe.
Incidentally, I think I am caught up on the comics. I was thinking they would give me some idea what to expect from season 3. That was pretty foolish. No regrets, though. Except now I have to wait for the next comics run as well. Anyway, that was how I learned that Diego is the Kraken, I had it in my head that Ben was the Kraken.

I had it in my head that Ben was the Kraken.
It would make sense, right?

I’m glad I’m not the only one to think so!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Is anyone else watching Around the World in 80 Days ?
Some interesting variations from the original. I like the changes to Passepartout and Fix.
I think they are off to a good start.

Ok, I went back to try and find what y’all had been saying about Ted Lasso and mostly I’m just gonna nod along but I have to jump in and loudly agree that Trent Crimm: Independent’s hair is Everything
