Game of Stones

This is an incomplete list of my issues with the Amazon Prime Tolkien series (Game of Stones). And make no mistake, I will keep complaining about each new bit of information we learn, but I think what bothers me most is what they add up to, not any particular decision, but an approach I fear they have because of who is making this series and what is driving the production.

I don’t think I have to explain how bad a start it is that this is Amazon money behind it. If Amazon is notorious for anything it is for making money at any cost. No one is making this series out of the goodness of their hearts and dedication to Tolkien’s legacy. Money is the bottom line. I hardly need to get into it here because it’s all just a Google search away.

Another red flag is the inconsistency around Pete’s involvement with the production of the series. Especially because there has been a lot less ambiguity on the production side of it. He, Fran and Pippa are the only ones with experience in adapting Tolkien for screen and as of right now, none of them are said to be involved. And no one seems to have indicated otherwise since 2018.

This brings me to the next thing. One of the most glaring issues has to do with understanding the source material. There were several Tolkien scholars involved with LOTR, including Tom Shippey. As of now, there is no confirmed Tolkien scholar on board as a consultant. Just some “lore experts”, whatever that means. It sure sounds like they found a couple people off Twitter posting Tolkien memes or something. The bad omen here is that although Tom Shippey (generally considered one of the world’s preeminent Tolkien scholars) was initially on board, he left the project in early 2020. I also doubt this is for some arbitrary reason, given how dedicated Shippey is to Tolkien. The reason also couldn’t be because of something like him fulfilling his role as a consultant given how extensive the material is and that Amazon’s filming rights have been extended considerably from what they originally covered, now also including  parts of The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. This seems highly suspicious and concerning. Not to mention that no replacement has been named as far as I’m aware.

This is also alarming if we look at the very short tenures of people working on it, before we get to them individually. Game of Stones isn’t supposed to be an anthology series, but seemingly every episode has a different director, writers come and go. I really wonder how they are going to build a cohesive whole and how anyone involved would be able to familiarize themselves with the material in any significant way if they’re not even going to work on a season, but a single episode.

Now lets take a look at the people in charge of making this series. Perhaps most concerningly, Brian Cogman, the husband of David Benioff’s nanny. That’s how he got Benioff to read his writing which Benioff was amazed by. If that alone isn’t bad enough a sign, he also has no prior experience as a writer or producer. But has since given us such beloved gems as Game of Thrones S8 E2 (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms), Game of Thrones S5E6 (Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken), S4E4 (Oathkeeper). Cogman has already packed his bags and left The Game of Stones however.

What sticks out to me like a sore thumb however is how the entire executive branch consists overwhelmingly of Americans. And I have an underlying fear that there is a layer of meaning that is lost when the makers, particularly the writers of something like this don’t have a deep personal connection to the material and for whom it is first and foremost another franchise like action films based on comics, not legendarium, mythology and culture. This is a disconnection I fear because Tolkien didn’t set out to create entertainment. The driving force and idea behind Middle-Earth is creating mythopoeia, specifically for England. And there is so much depth to the material that writers who don’t have an understanding of it couldn’t possibly do it justice.

I’m just looking at this incomplete list of things sticking out to me and I am not feeling confident. Please tell me I shouldn’t worry about all this.

Game of Thrones (S5E6) - Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken

[theabominableblogger]

My Reaction to “Gotham” S5E6

*sighs*

AN:  I managed to record my reactions to this episode and hopefully I can transcribe what I said into this post. 

*does the spirit fingers during the FOX logo for Hulu*

*imitates the Epic Voice Trailer guy doing the Gotham commercials*

“Everybody, raise your glasses to the killer of Jeremiah Valeska!”  *shakes head*  Noooo...

*Recaps shows Jim kissing Barbara*  God... no...

So far, I actually do like Shane West as Eduardo.  It’ll be interesting to see how he does Bane.

“Walker wants Ed Nygma taken out.”  Are we ever gonna see Walker?

*Recap shows Jim sliding down the chute to escape Eduardo*  YEET

*Recap shows Ed going after Jim*  YEET

WHOA

Oh this starts off like right afterwards!

GO GO GO GO GO GO

Oh this camera is awesome!  And I know Ben McKenzie directed this episode too so... dang!

Oh and it’s one shot too!  Shit!

*gasps when Jim gets shot at through an abandoned car*

*Jim gets clipped in the neck*  Ooooohhh!

“Your chances at survival are astronomically low, James.”  That sounds so weird.

Also, how is Ed able to keep up with Jim?

*Jim searches for medical supplies in an abandoned ambulance*  Jimm, what are you doing?!?

*gasps when Ed tries to strangle Jim with a medical tube*

*gasps when Jim uses the AED to short out Ed*  OOHHHHHHHHH!!!

*jaw drops*  WHAA--

SHOOT... JIM!! WHAA-

*gasps in delight*  Edward!  I love that dog so much.

“Cash and jewels aplenty/ Sparkle in the sky/ Five and ten and twenty/ time to say bye bye!”  *gasps*  Magpie!

Her voice is giving Jeremiah’s Tim Curry impression a run for his money!

“Penguin!  Didn’t think you’d miss a couple things.  Couple things go missing all the time!”  I love her already.

*says “Bang bang!” along with Magpie*

*gasps when the double Magpie gives Oswald starts heating up*  What?!?

“Who... the hell... WAS THAT?!?”  *laughs*

“What did I do?”  “Tried to kill me.”  “Oh... is that all?”  *scoffs in hilarity*

“I need answers, Ed.  I know Walker gave the orders to destroy Haven and the supply helicopter.”  OK, so it was Ed who also took down the chopper!

Oooohhh, Bruce lookin’ sharp!  With the coat.... oooohhh!!

“What is it?”  Wh-what?

“No, it’s just this unit.  Their motto is ‘Born in Blood.’”  Wait, Alfred knows Eduardo’s unit?  What?

“Where’s Captain Gordon?”  Shooot, man!

*Some of the soldiers try to escort Bruce and Alfred out*  Uh-uh!  Don’t you dare!

Oh yeah, like that’s gonna keep them down there-

*Bruce and Alfred take out the soldiers in the hallway*  OHH GO!  YES!  YES!

“Bruce hit me up on the radio a little while ago, looking for you.  Said things are a mess in the GCPD.”  OK wow, so like everybody’s in contact with each other.  Wow!

“But you [Jim] have me [Barbara].”  “And me [Ed].”  “I [Jim] don’t trust you-”  *laughs*

“Can I [Barbara] just help?”  “Not you, not usually.”  *sits back in doubt*

“So where’s that first aid kit?”  *laughs*  Ed’s like “I don’t wanna interrupt you two doing whatever but I’m gonna go make myself useful!”

“I’d [Eduardo] listen to her, Jim.”  Shiit!

Mmmmmm.... dang it!

What the heck is PSYOPS?

AN:  Oh my God...

“Civilians?  This hellhole is infested with criminals and terrorists.  Sometimes you just have to clean house, you know?”  Ohhhhh God

“I’m not dead yet.”  I’m still not dead yet!

*gasps when Ed marches in to kill Jim*

Ohhh it’s a fake out!

“If I die... you’ll never get... the evidence!”  *laughs*  Jim, your fake acting... is amazing.

*gasps when Ed throws a cleaver into one of the soldier’s heads*  Ooohhhh my God!

*Jim and Ed leap over the bar table*  YEET

*gasps when a bunch of injured robbers run by Oswald*

*chuckles at Selina eating cereal*

Oh my God... she’s eating Cocoa Pebbles!

*Oswald finds some fingers near Selina*  Oh my God.

“I [Selina] killed Jeremiah Valeska.”  Sure Jan.

This kinda feels like a filler episode so far but it’s... not.

“White hair, feathered collar, kinda resembles a goth chicken?”  *giggles*

“What makes you [Oswald] think I [Selina] would help you after you killed Tabitha in cold blood?”  *gasps*  Shoot, she did find out!  Barbara probably told her when she threw that little party.

*laughs when Oswald gives Selina an incredulous look*

*Selina boops Oswald’s nose*  Boop!

“Ethan, Sumiko.  We’re moving to Phase 2.”  What the heck is Phase 2?

Are they gonna kill... prisoners?

*gasps when Eduardo shoots a couple of prisoners dead*

Oh my God... it’s that one episode of “Game of Thrones” where they thought about eliminating prisoners but Tywin Lannister stepped in at the last minute and made them all workers.

What.  Is.  Everyone’s Plan?

What is Walker’s plan?

Lucius!

“Well, if you would be more careful, I [Ed] wouldn’t potato all the long legs from the hidden spoon!”  What?

“I [Lucius] believe the chip is installed against his speech center.”  “Hmm.  Do it again.”  *laughs*

*Please don’t habituate the curtain rod!”  *gives Ed a confused look*

OK, why is Ed still awake when they’re removing something from his head?

“Thank you, Lucius.”  *applauds*

“It appears the chip retains an audio log of every verbal communication with Nygma while he was under.”  What?

“It has to be Walker.  They won’t be able to sweep this under the rug anymore.”  How would they be able to spread the message to other people?

“We have someone here who wants to say hello.”  *gasps*  Oh my God, it’s Lee!

*gasps when Lee is revealed*  LEE!

WHAT?!?

Oh God, please don’t tell me she has a chip in her brain too!

“Tell me, how how many ex-fiancees do you [Jim] have anyway?”  God... dammit!

“She’s a criminal and all criminals in Gotham are now under a death sentence.”  *eyes widen in shock*

“A trade, perhaps?  Lee Thompkins for Ed Nygma.”  Eeugh!

“Fine.”  What.

“OK.  I’ll play your game.”  *mutters*  Oh my God...

“What would it take to broadcast the information from the chip to the mainland?”  “A transmitter, which I [Lucius] have, and a very large antenna, which I do not.”  Isn’t there one at the GCPD?

“I [Jim] know where’s an antenna in the Green Zone but you’re not gonna like it.”  “The roof of the GCPD.”  Yep.

Oh my God, please don’t me she [Lee] has a chip in her head too.  I’m gonna be so head if she turns out to have a chip in her brain.  She does not deserve all of this shit that’s happened.

*Bruce and Co. suit up*  Whoa, what is all that?

I really love how Ben McKenzie is directing this episode so far.  These shots here like the Western showdown camera angles- this is so good.

*Jim holds up the chip*  It’s a fake.

*drops jaw when Jim starts listing off the people killed under Eduardo’s leadership in the military*

“Yeah... put a bullet in my mouth and shut me [Jim] up.”  Oooh hoo hoo!

“No.  Not a bullet.  But I [Eduardo] am gonna shut your mouth.  Once and for all...”  Oh my God...

Oh my God.

OK, I wanna see this team up more.  More Penguin and Selina teaming up please.

*Selina manages to take down Magpie with her whip*  Ooooh!

“[Selina] You killed Jeremiah.  You’re famous.”  *imitates Magpie’s hand movement when she says the last line*

*giggles when Oswald and Selina freak out in unison when Magpie tosses a pocket watch at them*

“We tie our shoelaces together then we lasso the keys off the desk.”  *giggles like a lunatic*

“HELLO!  Hope you don’t mind, I [Ed] borrowed some COP STUFF from the garage!”  *laughs*

“Is it not obvious?!?  IT’S A BOMB!”  *cracks up*

“LET’S PLAY A GAME!”  *imitates the way Ed throws his hands up*  Great!

*imitates Ed saying “IT’S A BOMB!”  while laughing*

“You gomers-”  GOMERS?!?  GOMERS?!?

*starts laughing when Ed starts talking about the pallid beach mouse*

“How many pallid beach mice would we have at the end of one year?”  What?

*gasps*  Is that a grappling hook?  Please tell me-

*Bruce climbs up onto the rooftop*  YEAHHH!

Bruce looks amazing in this episode.

Also, I want these three [Alfred, Barbara, and Lucius] to team up more.  Yes!

*A soldier catches Bruce on the roof*  Shit!

*gasps when it catches back to Jim and Eduardo beating the crap out of each other*

“The fact that one man was able to safely house and rescue hundreds of innocent civilians showed the military higher-ups that the criminal element of Gotham must not be so big and scary after all.  They were ready to send in relief, so it had to come down.”  What?

“They were innocent people, children!”  “They were an acceptable loss for the mission.”  What’s the mission?!?

*Jim football tackles Eduardo to the ground*  Oooooh!

*Jim starts punching Eduardo*  Oh, go!  Go Jim!

“Take her [Lee] out back and shoot her.”  What?!?

*jaw drops in horror*  No!

Get up, Jim!  C’mon!

*gasps when Jim shoots down one of the soldiers*

“I know the answer!”  “Nope, don’t think you do, Bullock.”  *laughs*

“High school was a long time ago, so let’s just take the full minute, shall we?”  *still laughs*

“The pallid beach mouse is extinct!”  *jaw drops in shock*

“Trust me on this, I got in trouble and had to write an essay about it, I swear to God.”  *giggles and reels back in chair*  OK but like Harvey remembering that one distant fact is such a mood!

*The soldiers fire at Ed*  Guys, he’s wearing Kevlar. 

But that is still extremely funny though.

Is that knockout gas?

*laughs when Ed triumphantly and weakly throws his fist in the air*

*gasps when Eduardo kicks Jim on the ground*

“You want to know why Ramirez and the rest didn't make it out? After your tour of duty was up, we were caught behind enemy lines, taken to the darkest hell on Earth:  Pena Duro!”  *gasps*

“It’s where we were left to die by our government..”  *jaw drops*  Oh my God...

AN:  Why wasn’t this episode called “Pena Dura” or whatever?

*gasps in horror when Eduardo drives a metal rod into Jim’s side*

*gasps and reels back in shock when Jim manages to impale Eduardo on a bunch of Haven debris*  OH MY GOD!

Oh my God!  Wait, so that’s how he becomes Bane?!?  Because he got freaking impaled?!?

*gasps when Jim finds Lee surrounded by dead soldiers*  What?!?

*slightly impressed*  Lee...

“Unless The diamond is worth something on the mainland.. and I bet you have way more where that came from.  You're [Oswald] leaving Gotham.”  Why?

“‘Alexander the Great then looked upon his land and wept, for there was nothing left to conquer.’“  So?

“I [Selina] don’t want to be the person that killed Jeremiah Valeska.”  ‘Cause he’s not dead!

“I gotta be honest with you, man.  I don’t know how many more of these close calls this old heart can take.”  Harvey, you better not.

“I’m [Ed] not gonna wait around to watch their [Lee and Jim’s] touching reunion.”  *laughs*

Oh, Barbara’s gonna go get jealous now?  OK, I see where this is freaking going.

“The last thing that I [Lee] remember is Jeremiah destroying the bridges.”  Wait, she doesn’t remember stabbing Ed?  What?!?

“Wait... oh... he stabbed me.”  OK, wh-wh- wait, she does remember.

“There was so much blood.”  Not really.

Jesus... they just left him [Eduardo] there?!?

*gasps when someone shoots a refugee trying to pick Eduardo’s pockets*  Oh my God, is that Walker?

“Eduardo...”  How is he still alive?

Where have I seen the actress [that plays Walker] before?

AN:  Apparently she (Jaime Murray] also plays the Black Fairy on “Once Upon a Time”

“You won’t die yet, my warrior.”  *grimaces*

“Professor Strange will have you fixed up in no time.”  Oh my God...

*gasps when Walker puts the mask on Eduardo and activates it*

“Nyma was never alone.  It was a second operative.”  It’s Lee!  It’s freaking Lee.  God dammit, Lee.

*Lee’s chip activates*  Oh goddammit!

“Time to die, Jim Gordon.”  God- no no no no no!

*gasps when Jim manages to short out Lee*

*sits back and slaps table*  God!  Dammit!

*groans*  Oh my God, this not- noo-oohh...

Wait a minute!  Wait a minute!

*claps hands at screen*  This is the- the- Jeremiah’s gonna come in and- oh my God...

Mmmmm...

*jaw drops in shock when Jeremiah knocks out Alfred*

Holy crap, how- so, uh, how did that happen?

*imitates the way Jeremiah says “Pennyworth”*

Wait, did she [Magpie] just get stabbed?!?

*gasps when Magpie begs Selina and Oswald to remove the buckshot from her collarbone*

*gasps when Oswald shoots Magpie dead*

“Just a little reminder of what happens when people try to steal from me!”  Oh my God! 

I wanted to see her again!  DANG IT!

“You remember the good time we had the other night, over there?”  Shut the hell up!

“I’m [Barbara] pregnant.”  :O

MMMMMMMMM!!

“Congratulations?”  *laughs*

Oh God, well, I hate this already.

*gasps when Jeremiah removes the bag from Alfred’s head*

“You hurt my boy and I will bite your face off.”  *starts to smile but stops when Jeremiah starts laughing*

“In the meantime... this place is in desperate need of some good old fashioned butler-ing.”  ....Yeah right.

*grimaces and flinches when Jeremiah slowly flicks the bottom of Alfred’s chin*

“Today is the big day.”  *jaw drops in shock*

*Jeremiah’s smile gets crazier*  Oh my God-

*End titles appear*  OK, wha-whoa whoa whoa kay whoa what?

No, that can’t be it!

We’re getting Ace Chemicals next week!  Ooh shit!

Tw rape mention, aftermath of rape

VIkings s5e6 spoilers

Vikings handles rape scenes even worse than Game of Thrones.

When Sansa nearly is raped during the riot in King’s landing, she has nightmares after it happens. 

When Ramsay rapes Sansa, we see that she is bruised. We see her cry, we hear her say that she would rather die than end up with him again. She confonts Littlefinger about his part in delivering her to Ramsay.

Cersei was raped by Robert. She speaks about how she sometimes managed to defend herself if he was drunk enough and how when that failed, she finished him with her hands or mouth instead so at least she wouldn’t get pregnant from his assaults. She grows angry and is desperate to get out of this abusive marriage that she was sold into by her father.

All of these cases show that there is trauma. That it’s not something that just happens and then is forgotten about. At least in GoT they have the fucking decency to occasionally show the aftermath of being sexually assaulted, rather than just throwing it in to shock the audience and then pretending it never happened.

Astrid was gangraped. The only time we see her after that in this episode, she’s standing next to Harald and looking exactly like she usually does. Perhaps we will see some sort of reaction in future episodes but with the track record on this show I wouldn’t count on it. Especially since there must have been a time jump of at least two days since the rapists had made it to Kattegatt and delivered the message. Of course Hirst needed to rub it in even further, by letting us see Lagertha be grateful to the man who led the assault.

Vikings handles rape scenes even worse than Game of Thrones.

I’m so fucking done.

Areo Hotah has no tolerance for spurious fight scenes. Oleanna's tongue is mightier than the pen. And Ramsay continues to be the worst-written villain on the show.

Okay not even touching the end of this episode. Too much anger about that. But isn't it kind of weird that we're over halfway through the season and there's been not a word of Bran except in ONE 'Previously On…'? He's kind of a major deal...
