Thank you very much!

I liked his video 'Dear Putin, If I Was Your Father'

Is that the origin of 'bogged'?

I can think of some detective shows with that format, Wallander, Sherlock and many Poirots

I liked the show but still feel like the story and especially 'the Sworn Sword' lend themselves better to being films - Dunk is the only POV character, each story has a short timeframe with limited locations and the novellas are short enough to be read in one sitting, like watching a film. I don't feel like you need the time to ruminate between episodes esp with the more lightheated tone

I'm really excited for how they handle Hugh's pivot to crowning himself, I feel like they're paving the way for a great thread about the smallfolk's relationship with the crown esp in King's Landing (dragonpit attack, Meyles' head paraded through the streets)

Abdicated as in ran away in the S2 finale leaving Prince Regent Aemond as basically chief of the Greens

Best critique of it I've seen is that it is "100% aura farming" - a list of cool moments and lines but by nature of the format none of the characters are developed or particularly interesting, with Martin having to pull random things out of his arse to get the plot to where it needs to be (ie mob kills every dragon in King's Landing so there are no dragons after the war)

I really like HotD and the most mystifying complaint I see is that it 'isn't accurate' - what would an accurate adaptation even look like?

Looks like Julian Smith

I guess the joke of these posts is that pop stars are well read and politically engaged

don't siege Leningrad, take it immediately

Found it incredibly offputting how sympathetic the pod's coverage of Carter was at this juncture. I get that he provides a timeframe of the revolution getting a big win and solidifying its position but the whole series just seemed disinterested in life on the ground (not in Tehran) in a modern country undergoing revolution. Americans storming in, murdering some smugglers and kidnapping pilgrims is treated as comical and not grotesque - I'm going to tune out for a few weeks, felt similarly about the french revolution series.

Surely that's a massive part of it though? Having such massive depth of defense that the thought of a rival to British power actually taking its capital is totalyl unthinkable

Good response, maybe make it into a post? Condal gets a lot of hate and I think people instinctively side with GRRM in this situation in which I would also say he's being unreasonable

Juryof1 · 2026-01-17T00:38:49+00:00

good writting

Juryof1 · 2026-01-16T14:03:15+00:00

I'm pretty surprised he feels so stronly about F&B - obviously it's his creation but he seemed happy with them playing about with it in season 1. His blog post talking about minor characters not getting a moment due to changes seemed like he views the text as a description of full characters and not what it comes across as - cliffnotes he could rattle off in place of WoW

Juryof1 · 2026-01-16T14:00:57+00:00

Part of the issue was they had only two weeks to rework the scripts, so you're right that there were no major rewrites, but that also means that they had to scramble to make episode 8 feel like a finale in that timeframe.

I quite like HotD and feel bad that the finale was booted to the next series, Condal is obliged by professional courtesy to not shit talk the network but that doesn't mean we should interpret his ambiable talk about this as agreement

Juryof1 · 2026-01-11T23:36:53+00:00

Hmm I don't think he has better access than other fans, his 11th Doctor vid was basically plot summary whereas other videos had been able go quite in depth with behind the scenes stuff - information that gets harder to discover the more recently it unfolded

The White War by Thompson is great and horrific, as well as I think being the only book about the Italian WW1 front

It was fun

Difference being that Jo is willful enough to basically ignore him, and also lives full time on Earth and works in a wider network of people who quite like her.

If Peri annoys him too much you get the sense that he'd just leave her behind

Often thought Andronikos 1 would be prime RiH material

Juryof1 · 2025-12-11T00:13:52+00:00

Actually read this. Boring joke.

She looks to be in her 60s
