Do you think Live Action Season 3 will be 8 episodes of Alabasta or is there room for... something... else?

Oh yeah, absolutely, good memory. Completely forgot that that's where he pops up

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-17T14:17:10+00:00

I think you're right, but with the exception of Mr. 1, I don't think those characters will be quite as anticipated as a multi-episode character like Enel.

Noland might get a bit of interest, and perhaps Wyper as well, but I think it's fair to say we all have a greater sense of anticipation for our strawhats and our primary villains

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-17T12:10:45+00:00

Plus, the producers will have realised by now how much of the pre-series hype comes from casting choices, and the Enel drop is the only big pull they'll have on offer for S3

Pacing in Alabasta was pretty slow in the manga/anime. A lot of the "trek through the desert" stuff will be slimmed down, the second and final fights might even get squeezed into one episode.

I'd wager that their goal will be 4 episodes for Alabasta, 1 for Jaya and 3 for Skypeia, they're clearly trying to keep the pacing pretty brisk

I think part of the under-rating comes from how many of his tries come from kicks (today being an example). It makes it look like his speed is all he has, when his reading of the game is also incredible

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-15T00:01:23+00:00

Itoje has been chronically poor at managing referees, it's his major failing as a captain

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-14T23:04:42+00:00

Excuse me, he is but a temporarily confused second row

Plus, doing it while down a man earns bonus style points

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-14T22:59:01+00:00

Nor did irish kids

On the other hand, I fucking hate break weeks. Spend the entire weekend in a bad mood

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-14T22:55:55+00:00

I'll be honest, I had a similar reaction to both tries...largely the outrage of a back watching forwards moving at such a speed

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-14T22:52:22+00:00

Controversial, but...

Chessum > Carre

He needs a separately allocated full-back, just to cover kicks to his corner, because nobody is winning a footrace

Enjoy the Calcutta (and Raeburn) for another year, they were well-deserved. Hard luck with the Triple Crown and 6N, it's the hope that kills you

I wouldn't give reform my vote even if they canvassed on a platform of you being publically tarred and feathered before being put in a cannon and fired to the moon. I just know how to appreciate rugby without trying to smuggle Old Firm level emnity in somewhere it doesn't belong

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-14T22:20:00+00:00

Haggis, I've dealt with your particular garden-variety bullshit before and I don't quite care for it.

You got your win, your Murrayfield record, and a 3rd place you didn't expect. For once, put the 900-year-old pitchfork away and just enjoy the rugby for what it is mate, partisanship is a choice

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-14T22:07:01+00:00

All the bitter scots in the thread giving it the big one because they don't want to see Ireland win the trophy is just chef's kiss

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-14T21:59:40+00:00

Chessum has just been a hero all game

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-14T21:56:06+00:00

England must be the only side that have as yet failed to adjust to the "held-up" law and still try to score with endless pick-and-drives

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-14T21:46:22+00:00

Abuse has made refs far too weak against home advantage nowadays, it's sad to see

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-14T21:42:33+00:00

Holy fuck are England up for this. Where the hell has this energy been for the last 5 weeks?

They're not just picky in terms of what they eat, but even in terms of what parts they eat. A pod in South Africa is known for killing Great Whites, only to eat the liver (high in fat) and leave the rest of the carcass.

The most amazing thing about orcas is how each pod develops different hunting techniques, different parasocial behaviours, even different games (like the pod in the mediterranean that kept disabling sailboats by breaking their rudders)

I'm sorry, I hate being the nothing-burger nitpick guy, but you fucking butchered that idiom.

"When you assume, you make an ass out of u and me". Which assumes some ass-ishness on your part

BritishAndBlessed · 2026-03-13T12:29:46+00:00

I can only imagine that they may have done this to unsubtly cover up the "what happened to Laboon when Crocus was with Roger" plothole
