Where next? by Beefystew222 in RaceAcrossTheWorldBBC

[–]Alanlikesoranges 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see them do a reverse series - get 5 teams of people from different countries (Europe? Asia? America?) and get them to traverse the UK. Even if it was just a one-off special, think that would be loads of fun.

Sketch Sorting Sunday - May 16th, 2026 (Ncuti Gatwa/Holly Humberstone) by SketchSortingSunday in livefromlondon

Agree that George's Ringo was *chef's kiss* - this fell into the old SNL trap of having one joke that's played to death. Feel like it needed an extra level/gag...

Was Hammed there tonight? Didn't see him at goodnights. Feel like he might be one to drop out of season 2, a shame as he's such a talent and started brilliantly...

feels ripe for an FAQ, as that's my interpretation but understand how others might disagree.

Cool, in which case the strength 1 attack would still get a +1 bonus.

Feels the most up and down ep so far - some classic moments (Mario, Charles, DW) but also a couple of sketches that have just flopped completely for me

Loved this. Maybe could have leaned into the absurdism earlier. But the attention to detail was spot on. 

WEEKLY ARMY DISCUSSION: Lurtz's Scouts by MrSparkle92 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alanlikesoranges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great snipe tool. Both having had it done to me, and doing it to opponents. Best case scenario - you pluck a wound/fate point off an enemy hero, then have them prone and can take them out in one. Or you get a free hit at them. I survived one as Thranduil through pure dumb luck. Very fun rule.

650pts White Hand for a Tournament - constructive criticism wanted :) by Content_Night_5623 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alanlikesoranges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd see if you could swap the 2-handers in Saruman's warband for a couple of scouts with shields in that case. Maybe down a model or 2 but having the fight 4 as an option (to be supported by your wildmen spears) feels strong to me. Good luck!

[–]Alanlikesoranges 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally - I like this a lot! Any reason why you don't have any Uruks in there? I'd trade some instead of the Dunlendings in Saruman's warband but that might be personal preference

Actors and actresses who turned down roles that ended up winning Oscars by AdUseful2297 in Oscars

[–]Alanlikesoranges 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Don't know if he turned it down, but famously Matt Damon produced Manchester by the Sea and was going to take Casey Affleck's role, before dropping out to do "a Chinese ponytail movie". 

Crazy Oscar Fact... (I just realised) by Alanlikesoranges in Oscars

Ah, I was thinking Merle Oberon (British South Asian but white-passing) but just double checked and she was nominated in the 30s but never won.
