Finally saw eps 2 & 3 of RoP; liked them more. Definitely more AU -- for instance, Elendil has a daughter (of which I thoroughly approve!). I like the weird responses to Galadriel in Numenor, although frankly as an Eldar, she should look way less bedraggled. That's the whole point of being from Valinor, isn't it?

I liked both Miriel and Disa, as well. Didn't love the weird rock contest with Durin, but I did appreciate the explanation for his anger at Elrond. That made a lot of sense.

Still struggling with the short hair on the male Elves. WTF, this looks ridiculous.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

LotR: TRoP

I wonder whether Eärien will end up being the primary architect for Gondor.

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.

I didn't realize how much I wanted this. I'm actually more excited for this than any of the upcoming Marvel or Star Wars stuff (though Tales of the Jedi with pre-Sith Dooku looks interesting.)

SW: ANDOR is GOOD! Like, really good? Like, smartly written and well-acted and the plot doesn't so far have huge gaping holes? It leaves a lot of stuff unexplained for you to wonder about but not in an annoying JJ Abrams kind of way.

My one complaint is that there is a lot of mumbling and I had to use closed captions.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I finished League of Their Own and now I'm sad because I want more. Please send S2.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'm one or two seasons back on GBBO, but I just have to say it somewhere: OMG, they sent Jurgen home! Whaaaaaaaaaat???!??!!!?

Is anyone else watching Andor? It's SO GOOD.

Like, not just Star Wars good, but actual-fact good.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

SO GOOD

I’m so used to stupid George Lucas dialog, it’s just WEIRD to hear well-written words come out of all the characters’ mouths.

Thrive to spite them

I haven't started Andor. I'm not sure why, I wasn't as enthused until I saw everyone's reactions and so now it's going on my list.

Is anyone watching Lower Decks ? If they are is it talked about here or another thread?
