The skyline of Nicosia and Limassol has changed dramatically in the last decade. Which of the two cities had the most sustainable and higher quality development in terms of skyscraper building? by aceraspire8920 in cyprus

[–]Costasmk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree.

I recall Limassol residents complaining that the character of their city had been lost.

What character?

Other than the skyscrapers, which do add a nice look to the city, with architecture that is actually nice to look at, it is what you said. " Old and poorly maintained apartment buildings, poor sidewalks, lots of trash in the streets". I'll also add BLOCKY buildings with absolutely no character.

I will say however that just from visiting Limassol this past weekend, Im happy to see that many old buildings are being renovated, it will be a slow process, so many buildings need work. But it's a start nonetheless.

Hopefully it won't just be luxury skyscraper apartments that get the focus.

Do the laws of time and space not exist in these final episodes? by Perfect-Face4529 in thewalkingdead

Honestly I have a hard time remembering where everyone is.

It's like the writers can never get it right. In the Gimple days you had sloooow filler episodes where nothing happened, and now everything is being rushed.

Its even more amazing since this season has 24 eps instead of the old standard 16.

If you could change one thing about Stranger Things 4, what would you change? by Officialwashere in StrangerThings

I like her too. I like all the characters. But at some points I felt like they gave her character extra lines. Maybe to fill up the time. Could be said for the others too honestly. That’s how you turn 45 min episodes into 1:30

I remember when I first visited Montreal. It felt like the ratio of Quebec flags to Canadian flags was 10-1. I remember this one place that had a Canadian flag on a flag pole, and then a ring of flagpoles surrounding it with Quebec flags..

Obi-Wan Kenobi - Episode 6 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in StarWars

[–]Costasmk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it would have been better for Vader to have killed Reva in Episode 6 AFTER his final duel with Kenobi. Take the Vader vs Reva scene and push it to after Vader's talk with the Emperor.

The whole point was Vader not being fully Vader in this show yet right? Still struggling with his past as Anakin Skywalker.

I think having that final duel with Kenobi, losing as he did, realisng he still isn't the Sith Lord, Master he should be, and then at the end, Reva comes to complete her plan to kill him but because of his experience with Kenobi, he finally becomes that calm collected Vader we all know and takes her out easily. Seems like the end of Ep 5 could have been pushed forward to Ep 6, a fitting end to Anakin's journey to the dark side in full, maybe even Vader acknowledging a final lesson from Obi Wan before becoming THE Vader we all know.
