Peacemaker, but maybe it's treated differently being under the DC umbrella

Ha, ditto. I've seen (and heard) I'm in so many things but that's what always pops into my head. It's just such a silly line and role.

I forgot there was an original film too. Maybe I was biased against S02 because I wanted to stay in S01 more.
Thank you again for your post.

This is for live sports. I don't think AppleTV+ will have an ad-supported version, but live sports will definitely have ads.

You’re getting downvotes, but I think you’re right with the caveat “don’t buy dvds in the numbers required to support the industry anymore”

Even the action movies he did, only a handful didn't have some element of comedy to them. The Fugitive, the Jack Ryan movies and Airforce One (which was basically just another Jack Ryan movie.)

The character with a fish in a bowl as a head already died, so who's he going to play?

from that perspective it just wouldve been a total red herring (it is, as far as we know since the books wont be finished). jon snow is revived without any issue or drawback and nothing ever happens to him.
also thats a pretty weird comparison to those characters btw who are all well-developed and you know, actual characters with conversations and personality. vs zombie lady who doesnt talk and we know nothing of her intentions/motivations other than general revenge, and we follow her because?

People are saying that it is. It's not. There are some episodes where they have stories start and are wrapped up but even in those there are continued storylines from past episodes. Shit from the first episode is still relevant in the show's very last episode. It's all connected. There are short stories within it but overall it's all a long story and should be watched in order.

It's crazy to me how the entire series circled back to >!Terry Crowley!<. We start with (imo) Vic's most heinous crime, then aaaaall sorts of other insane stuff happens, you even garner sympathy for the likes of Vic and Shane, and in the end it goes back to that awful act. I think it's masterful.

I've heard many opinions on the internet but enjoying season 8 of Game of Thrones is genuinely next level wild. More plotholes in season 7 and 8 than there are grains of sand on earth lmao
W/e man, i'm glad atleast you enjoyed it

I agree S01 was far better than all of the following, but it was also the one closer to the original film, which is a great film from the Coen brothers. So, for me it was not very exciting. I've watched S03 and although the actors were great, the story just didn't grab me the same way. Hope you'll like it better (there are great critics about it).

And the media reported things without you? How inconsiderate of them.
Seriously though, hope you're safe and ok.

Should D&D have cut Oberyn Martell because his only function was to get his head crushed by the Mountain?
Lady Stoneheart did serve a function: She was the main person exacting poetic revenge on the Freys. They gave this role to Arya, which is problematic because Arya was already a vehicle for a million other happenings.
It also gave us reasons why Jon Snow's resurrection may not have been a good thing, where in the show it was unambiguously the right decision.
That careful crafting of tension and ambiguity is something D&D forgot to do in the final seasons, something Lady Stoneheart would've given more of.

developing is a big stretch. there were a few chapters about it and they were quite vague. it was basically just a way to give some well-liked characters a reason to group up.
they arent even really mentioned in the 5th book afair, only up to the 4th book. and that shit was in 2005. almost 20 years, thats no longer "developing"

The problem with season 3 was that it had way too many plots going on at once. The Sparrow Academy should have been the focus of an entire season, but it competed for time with Harland's powers, the Kugelblitz, and the knockoff upside-down in Hotel Obsidian.
