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!
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
and loudly agree that Trent Crimm: Independent’s hair is Everything
Oooh, my hair is approaching that threshold though it's still more at Big Lebowski/Duderino.
Goals, man. He's a hair role model.
I now have that We're Richmond Til We Die song stuck in my head. Way to choose the least entertaining option, brain!
