That whole thing was blown up out of proportion. Got the impression with the Queen in question she was purposefully that way, playing the hard man King, because she was a woman. It seemed clear she was weird even in universe.

About Jo Jo's question re 90's retro.  Grunge, Friends, raves, ecstasy, and internet porn.

I saw Knives Out.
It's pretty good.
Not sure on the accent.

Watching the final season of the High Castle.  Why did they wait four years before making it interesting?

Never mind.

Is' Alien Covenant' worth a viewing?

As I'm half an hour in and haven't been taken by it so far.

[viper37]

no.

[mongers]

no.

Shit.

Too late.

It was crap.

FInished watching Dracula. I thought it was very good. Only three episodes, very tight, but a fun and interesting take on the story. Well executed, and generally really well acted.

Down a Dark Hall. Young woman is sent to school for troubled but gifted kids. It's OK.

Ooohhh... Season 2 of Titans is on Netflix over here. That was one of my favorite guilty pleasures of 2019.

Watched the first one... it was an odd episode... [spoiler]First half of the episode is a very hurried wrap-up of the season 1 main arc (which should have been the season 1 finale) then the other half is setting up season 2 properly, which seems to feature around a John Wick-ish version of Deathstroke as the main villain. Also Ian Glen as Bruce Wayne, I can buy that[/spoiler]

I think the butthurt guy's very problem is that fencing with that wobbly rod is quite different to flinging with a meter long broad and heavy  piece of metal while wearing a full body metal armor.

Yes. Caught the first ep also. How come they're falling themselves titans all of a sudden?

Apparently s2e1 was meant to be the last episode of s1. Which would have made a lot more sense.

Been watching Vikings S4. Damn it's silly, every civilised nation has soldiers in uniforms and uniformly equipped, Wessex and Mercia especially are very different from one another. Everyone has torches and candles lit mid day and most other lazy tropes are fulfilled. The vikings are dressed like something out of Xena. One thing that might be correct is that the vikings are manicured, has silly make-up and great hair. I don't remember where I read it, but apparently vikings were seen as something like effeminate dandys by the folks they were raping and pillaging.

Ragnar has a python snake in a shed mid winter, I wonder how he got hold of that and by what magical means they keep it alive.

Apparently two sheds by the river with a chain in between is enough to stop a viking army, but no fear, the vikings can lift their ships up a mountain and over miles of land to get through. And apparently the best place for those two "forts" are a few kilometers from Paris, the duke of Normandie couldn't find a better place to block the Seine.

Don't worry, it gets sillier.
