    I'm here to report what might be a blasphemy to some...

    Liam Hemsworth is a BETTER Geralt in THE WITCHER (S4) than Cavill was. I liked Cavill in the role, but I think Liam is just more at ease in the costume and character?

    Also, the show feels infinitely more approachable?

    Like I don't want this to be true as I know Cavill was championing the books/source material, and I know that they are diverging from said material...but even as someone who has read 4 of the books....I like this. A LOT.

    I have had an extremely busy week and opened up Netflix to watch the first episode. I was too tired to get more than 15 min into the first episode (a me problem, not the show) and packed myself off to bed. In that fifteen minutes, I noticed a bit of unevenness specifically around Hemsworth and delivering lines. Sometimes he's quite decent and he moved alright in the bits of action I could see. I did think that his initial "mini break-up" with Yennefer on the small bridge next to a Roach was not well done and Yennefer out acted him easily.

    The episode wasn't doing that great with things like visually setting up the actors for better delivery of the goulash joke or making Falka's crew seem interesting, which might mean that it was rushed or the episode directors aren't that good at little bits of comedy + danger.

    I'm not making a snap judgement on Hemsworth based on that 15, so I'll watch the full season and see how it goes.

    Wife lost her job again.

    A bit of stability would be sort of nice.

    It seems like she's able to get these jobs, so that part is working. Do you have insight into what's not working after that?

    I'm sorry about the tumult of it all.

  3. In Topic: Charlie Kirk Hate

    I don't think this is going anywhere productive. Nico can happily climb the self created mountain of believing in the fig leaf efforts of a virulent white supremacist all he wants without my continued participation in this.

    Why is it so important to Nico that Kirk wasn't a virulent white supremacist? Only he can answer that question.

    It definitely isn't awful writing. I very much get how finishing is better and have finished some genuinely awful books in my past, while likely having more in my future.

    I think what I bounced off of more than anything was the lack of a step beyond war training becomes useless in a long drawn out war. She's got my attention and what is she doing with it?? I will happily trust an author to take me to wild places, but I'm not sure Kuang has that extra gear in there.

    Have fun with it and I'm currently reading The Spear Cuts Through Water.

    I didn't finish the Poppy War trilogy. I stopped about 40% through the third book because I felt like it wasn't going to a fresh place or a meaningful place within the story.

    I love how well you write in discussions. It's like a far more articulate version of me saying things I want to say.

    I needed an excuse to change my profile status so I used it to respond to your incredulity that I am still alive.

    Um, the NEW SANDMAN trades have the Absolute -recolouring-...but the older trades don't. You can see a comparison here at the link below and personally I think it's staggeringly different for tonal value of the panels. http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/09/23/absolute-sandman-recoloring/

    Oh, and cheers for calling me out on the pics on the election thread, I have a bad habit of not registering if a thread's in Discussion or not but I will cut down on the no content posts there.

    heh, sorry, didn't mean to make it look like you were resentful of my presence or anything. I just felt most comfortable approaching you about it. As QT mentioned there are others who feel the same as him. I'll still be around, but I'm just saying I wouldn't be offended. :p

    By the way, if you guys want to have a Terez-free WoT thread, I wouldn't object to that. To be honest, I probably won't be discussing WoT online much longer anyway. It's not good for me. ;) I'm told some people feel like they have to defend a dissertation to discuss WoT with me. Not true, really, but I get it.
