This show started with children making a different choice from their parents and elders, and returning a lost child to its parent.

And it turns out this all started because, millennia ago, a parent lost his child and turned his grief into vengeance.

I’m watching The Innkeeper, and Izzy says “I know you think you understand him.”

Trying to undermine Stede’s relationship with Ed yet again and then Stede cuts straight to it.

“He was gonna watch the world burn or die trying.” He does know Ed, knows Ed better than Izzy would ever give him credit for. And he knows Ed better than Izzy ever will.

"eursulon is going to keep his face from ame, because he's feeling disappointment for one of the first times in his life" my heart???

just think it's neat that ob said "this was a fiction problem" so it required a fiction solution, fiction is a story and story is born out of belief, not unlike how gods were born. and who is the one person in the entirety of the show who has consistently believe in loki? mobius told loki he could be 'whoever whatever you wanna be, even someone good' and so in turn loki becomes a god of stories, god of all time and space in all the multiverses, just to save him, save them all. oh they are sick for this

i can't stop thinking about how during the wedding oneshot Vax was so different, so Championlike, how he spoke and moved slowly and felt so detached and he hugged his sister but it didn't really feel like Vax hugging her, it felt like someone else wearing his face, but here, after being freed, he feels like a person, like Vax, and I don't know if that's because of the thirty years that have passed or the fact that he was just tortured for two months or that he's disoriented or what but it's actually Vax, there's something alive about him this time, something that says he wants to hold on to this moment even if that's all he gets.

Spock helping Kirk forget Rayna because Kirk wanted to in his grief and Spock didn't want to see him in pain...immediately after McCoy felt sorry for Spock because he would never know love.

Maybe this is still a controversial take (honestly, i don't know why) but Condal and Co are far worse than D&D and deserve a huge backlash. They shouldn't even be in the same sentence. D&D were actually good at adapting and while the later seasons weren't that great in many aspects, they are still superior to s2 of HotD by far. Maybe even to s1. However, five years later a big chunk of the fandom is obsessively hating on D&D, while praising Condal & co. Journalists, youtubers... I'm sorry, but the character assassination of Alicent and even Aemond are far worse than what happened to, let's say, Daenerys (i never saw it as a character assassination anyway, just a result of the shortened seasons and bad pacing). Also, the dialogues in hotd s2 are clunky and forced, the characters inconsistent, the plotholes jarring, even the technical aspects are not that great ... The list is endless, really. And Condal & co are deeply biased, unprofessional and dare I say, not so talented at all. Therefore, I just don't understand how the same people who were sh*tting on GoT and d&d are happy with the pile of c*ap that HotD s2 turned out to be.

no..........i think you're right. d&d made many mistakes and even the good seasons of asoiaf weren't "perfect" but they were excellent television because they were aces at captatio benevolentiae. they knew how to arrest your attention and once they had it, you couldn't look away. think of how so many people were hooked after just watching the pilot of GoT. ending the pilot with the shocking revelation of twincest and the cliffhanger of bran's fall was a stroke of genius.

not just bc it was "shocking" and "titillating", but they had good instincts for how to structure a season and how to sprinkle the action throughout to make it engaging. the pacing of the early seasons was on point! think of how tyrion gets arrested at the end of ep 4, robert dying, ned's execution, dany hatching her eggs to end S1.

and, for the love of god, the plot had STAKES. GoT lived by the idiom "fuck around and find out". mistakes were punished. what characters did mattered. when people died, it had an impact.

ofc that later on they introduced too many looney tunes plots and it was obvious they didn't know what to do once they ran out of written material. they didn't know what to do with main POV characters: arya, jon, bran. honestly, it's their love of cersei that was their prevailing grace during the last seasons, because they gave her the best possible ending and, as a cersei stan, i couldn't be, you know, MAD mad.

which makes me think that perhaps they would have adapted the dance of the dragons in a more satisfying manner. as both rhaenyra and alicent are a little cersei-coded in their own way, i imagine D&D could have softened them without completely declawing them or making them straight-up boring, as that was one of the few female archetypes for which they could produce some decent writing

(ironic bc when they tried to cersify other female characters with differing personalities like sansa or arya, they became straight-up cold and robotic)

Oliver: "I've seen [men with that ability/symbol/alien/magic object/secret technique] before..."

Felicity/Dig: "Where?"

Me: "Don't say it, don't you fucking say it--"

Oliver, looking up: "The island."
