The dynasties in ASOIAF get really ridiculous with how they've apparently been around for 1000s of years and yet there's still basic records.

Samwell does point this out in one book, saying that they're not entirely sure when the Andals arrived or how many Lord Commanders there really have been, but still!

It's a bit more excusable in Tolkien because there is a race of beings that can actually live for thousands of years so that would help with the record-keeping. But for humans...

To be honest, the Andals arriving 2,000-ish years ago would make more sense. But it fits with everything being bigger in Westeros!

Not disagreeing but also yknow we could maaaybe not being back predators that were any bigger than, say, a polar bear. Or, to play it on the safe side, a human.

In terms of sci fi, anyway.

I assume a necromancer would have a failsafe where they could just snap their fingers and the thing would go back to being dead. Or if they died, it would also.

Dear necromancers, why would you bother summoning human corpses when dinosaurs are an option

Fun of me, Doctor Muriel? Oh do forgive me, Your Eminence--And will you please stop calling me that?! I'm sick of that title, just Rembrandt, alright? Well, forgive me, erm

Dandadan (Season 1)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Dandadan (Season 1, 2024, Japan)

Director: Fuuga Yamashiro

Writer: Hiroshi Seko (based on the manga by Yukinobu Tatsu)

Mini-review:

Dandadan was one of my most awaited animes of the year, and it did not disappoint. For starters, I wholly vibed with its deranged sense of humor. Sure, there are a lot of potty jokes and stuff like that, but it's all handled in a unhinged way that makes the show so, so fun. Also, as a huge fan of everything related to both aliens and ghosts, the central concept of the story is basically tailor-made for me. All the creature designs are stunning and terrifying in equal measure, and I can't wait to see more of them in the future. Science Saru's action scenes are as gorgeously animated as expected, even if the coloring in some of the more 'normal' scenes fell somewhat flat. Oh, and Kensuke Ushio's score is seriously beautiful, too. Anyway, I'm very glad we won't have to wait much for season two.

Towards new Adventures

These two never sit still; there are always new things to discover in such a vast and vibrant galaxy such as Ember!

What if there were two astronauts on the moon and one of them picked up a moon rock and used it to kill the other one, just bash his helmet in but because there’s no law on the moon nobody could do anything about it and this astronaut got away with murder and then they took the murder rock back and it actually turned out to be a really significant specimen that revolutionized what we know about the geology of the moon so now we super couldn’t do anything about the murder?

Would that be fucked up or what?

My take on genre demarcation pedantry re: "science fiction" is that, yes, I agree that good science fiction ought to have at least some speculative element. However, the "what if?" in question need not be deep: a lot of excellent science fiction merely asks "hey, if this happened, would that be fucked up or what?"
