Reply to comment by Tarantio in Game of Thrones Season 4 has to be in the GOAT discussion. by Boss452

That doesn't negate what I said.

In the show, Dondarrion, after Arya left the gang, is mostly nothing more than an extra sword with maybe a line or two of dialogue per ep. Dondarrion ultimately dies in the final battle against zombies. He never had any of his own storylines, he was always a part of someone else's.

Replacing him with Stoneheart as in the books would have required whole new storylines. Stoneheart as a character would have required an end point and she would have needed a more significant ending than what Beric got since Cat was a majorly prominent character. So, like I said, it would have been another storyline/character to wrap up in a show where D&D were already very clearly struggling to juggle storylines and characters.

Reply to "Shrinking" is making me realize Hollywood fucked up by not putting Harrison Ford in more comedy roles. His dead pan comedic timing is impeccable and hilarious. by Bluest_waters

I was just watching 1923, and in the first episode He's walking into a bar and one of the women protesting for Prohibition stops him at the door. He points out the sign also says "Soda". The woman counters that the prostitutes work out of a building called a Dance Hall, and the mock look of surprise on his face and his "You don't say!" just killed me.

He's always been dead pan funny, but that was always mixed in dramas.

Reply to Pantheon is fascinating by ryhaltswhiskey

Legitimately one of the best sci-fi shows of the past decade, animated or not. I absolutely adore the show, and it really deserves a bigger audience.

Still holding out hope that the second season, which has already been fully produced and 100% completed with animation, voiceacting, and editing, still gets a release somehow. Maybe picked up by another studio or streaming service.
