    Like it is so BLINDINGLY obvious who is in the right in LOTR and this thud still got it wrong....Tolkien would have hated his absolute guts.


    Tolkien wrote back to Hitler's government telling him to do one because he didn't like his ideas about race. He'd be spinning in his grave thinking anyone could misunderstand LOTR to that extent.

    We've been planning to finish the first season of MN since roughly the last time I posted about it, and haven't done so. You hit the nail on the head with "it feels like a chore".

    Contrast to looking forward to the new season of VM (we're saving until the end of the month to watch on our holiday) and the prospect of rewatching S3 beforehand is a genuine joy.

    I don't doubt MN gets better, but the first three episodes felt nowhere near as well written as even the weakest episodes of VM.

    Also, didn't get to the episode (have a feeling it's the fifth one?) where they show Caleb's backstory (non-specific for spoiler purposes), but I've been warned by several people that they take a similar line to the dead animated children stuff Abyss mentioned in that what they show of
    Spoiler

    is needlessly over the top, and that's contributed to me just not feeling like I want to bother.

    I have to agree it's probably for the best - and like you QT I was over the moon when they announced he was coming back.

    When Davies is at his best, he's brilliant, but too often I find he gives in to the desire to bait and annoy a particular type of person (who I'm absolutely fine with being annoyed) but it ends up being to the detriment of the story/overall project.

    I didn't love the 60th anniversary stuff as much as I wanted to, and I haven't actually got round to watching any of Ncuti's tenure yet - sounds like I've got plenty of time to get caught up.

    Small Gods is on my Waterstones wishlist (which is essentially my birthday/Christmas list)

    Just started There are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Sharak. It's been recommended to me a few times - the stories of three lives all touched by the Epic of Gilgamesh.

    What Hoosier said. Loved your reading sessions on Youtube. Do you still do them (I ask because I'm hoping for more)

    Your videos on YouTube are awesome. It's always different hearing the voices in another person's tone and accent. Really enjoyed them, thanks so much!
