Your Gay Uncle posted:I really liked the Newspaper segment as well, June binge watching sitcoms on her laptop in a darkened room was very relatable. It's hard for me to imagine that she spent weeks in a newspaper building, had access to a laptop etc. and didn't write her own chronicle in addition to making that shrine, though. That bugged me a bit although I liked her being in that setting in general.

Finished season 2 last night, and now I need to go to therapy. The ending sucked but the rest of the season was amazing.

I thought it was worse when she decided to hold up the Deus Ex Marthas for 15 loving minutes while she lets her slave mistress get some emotional closure with her imperiled newborn The whole garage door scene I was absolutely dying, do people really not know how to loving manually open a garage door???

I said come in! posted:My garage can't be opened manually, so if it stops working then it can't be opened until its motor is repaired. There’s not a red handle to manually activate it? That’s weird. What’s even the reasoning for that?

The garage door scenario was kind of dumb but I think the idea was that it was frozen shut, not that June couldn’t figure it out.

She pulled the handle thing, which is the correct move. It was frozen shut though.

My wife didn't like me rolling with my eyes during that particular scene. I didn't even utter a word and still she got mad at me because she knew what I was THINKING. Free speech? Canceled. Free thought? Next on the chopping block.

esperterra posted:Like Rhys was amazing, don't get me wrong, but I think Russell was the faaaaar better actor for the whole series (which says a lot 'cause Rhys slayed). She played Elizabeth so loving perfectly and I'm salted she didn't win. To be fair to GoT (and I really hate doing that, the show doesn't deserve it, at least not anymore) there's a lot of ink on the page that isn't dialogue. Scene settings and rough battle sequences are generally laid down in the script. Yes, choreography and direction did a lot of heavy lifting, but especially if this is Battle of the Bastards we're talking about...I strongly agree that The Americans is a much better show, but my biggest issue with BotB was that Rickon ran in a straight line. That's not bad at all.

Oh, for sure. But compared to the episode of The Americans which was up that year, Bastards still shouldn't have gotten it imo.

How is it getting that high, are people climbing on top of it to fight rather than fighting on stable ground? I'd be interested to see a historical example.

it's a show about tits and dragons so the corpse pile didn't bug me. jon digging his way out from under a corpse pile was a bit silly but the visuals of him being momentarily trapped were doooope

Pocket Billiards posted:BotB? Battle of the Bastards And the battle is supposedly based both on Agincourt and particularly Cannae. If the latter had a death toll even half as large as Livy claimed, that's still 20,000 people. If you read up on the battle, Carthage's pincer attack on Rome was basically an even bigger version of what we saw on the show. And all of it is still more believable than the final scene of season 2, here
