It’s a good job I’ve got my spiritual socks on or that halftime entertainment could have tipped me over the edge

Tolkien wasn't a fan of Dune. In fact he disliked it..."with some intensity, and in that unfortunate case it is much the best and fairest to another author to keep silent and refuse to comment"

In other words, Tolkien decided not to rag on it in public, out of respect for the author.

I sometimes wish modern critics and social media types would be similarly reticent when something isn't to their taste. Other people will like it. And that's OK.

@Mestre_Thibaut Avec la sortie de la pièce, ça ne me semble pas improbable !

@TSoS_ Thank you for that. Tired of the doom squad

My biggest hot-take - at least in this corner of the Internet - is that House of the Dragon Season 2 wasn't bad at all and that adapting an IN-UNIVERSE HISTORY BOOK WITH UNRELIABLE ACCOUNTS is not the same as adapting a novel with characters & dialogues. Fire & Blood doesn't have scenes. It doesn't have bridges between interactions, it has characterisation but not enough for a direct, multi-season adaptation. House of the Dragon HAD to take liberties. There are some aspects I didn't like either, but overall, if anything, I found many of the characters more compelling than their book counterparts.

Season 2 did not have a climax due to the writer's strike and that's obviously detrimental to the season, but they had their hands tied and they are delivering the exact payoff we would have gotten in the first 2 episodes of Season 3 now.

RSC Announces World Premiere of Game of Thrones: The Mad King: After five years of gestation, the long-in-the-works theatrical production based on the events of the tourney at Harrenhal has come to fruition. Per the press… https://t.co/2EXNsJqwGM #TheMadKing #GameOfThrones #RSC

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms doesn't feel like a 'Game of Thrones' series, it feels like an 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series (highly complimentary).

[RedTeamReview ✪ @RedTeamReview]

Season 4 should be the last thing Condal does on HotD and then they should continue it with another showrunner with other Targaryen kings until Robert's Rebellion. Every season a new king, new cast and so on

Hundred years hundred seasons

“And so it came to pass.

‘The most damaging pop cultural force in recent British history’ found its way into the hearts and minds of a new generation. From Gallagher Hill to the River Plate, from Croke Park on the banks of the Royal Canal to the City Of Angels, the love, joy, tears and euphoria will never be forgotten.

There will now be a pause for a period of reflection.”
