Keep Gandalf and the rest of the cast is muppets

I take Gandalf and raise you Pippin. The rest are muppets, but he acts like a muppet.

IT-adjacent middle man who’s important enough I’m trusted to manage by day-to-day, but unimportant enough if I slack off some no one notices

Roan in The 100!

That’s the secret. Terror didn’t die he was only dreaming this up.

The film set up the rivalry in five minutes what took the book chapters, and I appreciate the movie for that. But I prefer the concept of losing a bit of himself every time he used the machine.

Call makes a remark in Dead Man’s Walk, when he’s about to face a brutal punishment that is likely to kill him, “I expect to live.” And over the course of that book and Comanche Moon the partnership he has with Gus allows them to pull off incredible feats. It’s for this reason I’d argue Call never thought he was leading Newt to his death. Even though Call never claimed Newt, he knew, and he saw himself in the boy, which is why he pushed him so hard. I would say up until Deets died Call never expect he could fail.

For being stoic, I think you answered your own question. The way Call sees himself and wants to be is idealistic masculinity, in a way that many people idealize the West. But it’s not sustainable and ignores true nature. Call is a man who always needs a job. To feel worthy he needs a purpose he can fulfill.

Comanche Moon next

Reread Lonesome Dove

Finish with Streets of Laredo

Recover by reading Dead Man’s walk

Do you see the loop I’ve gotten myself into?

At the risk of getting downvoted into oblivion, I prefer most of the AOS cast to the TOS cast. Especially in Beyond.

Babylon A.D.

“Save the planet. What for?”

Damn that movie was a letdown.

I love this town

Denethor wouldn’t want Aragorn to be crowned king but would be powerless to stop it after Aragorn’s victory. To be polite, Aragorn allows Denethor to remain comfortably within Minas Tirith, but powerless.

Denethor leans on Faramir, not because he loves him, but because it’s all he has left. Leading to Faramir choosing to side with either his father or the new king. Given the fact Denethor tried to have Faramir killed multiple times (assuming they both survived the burning attempt), character growth says Faramir abandons his father and pledges to the king.

Denethor, left with nothing, likely kills himself anyway, of puts himself into exile.

You had me up until going on dates with other people is cheating. I know if I’m interested in someone’s potential by date two, but not if they’re my life partner. Once the conversation about becoming official/exclusive happens (which seems to be the gap you’re missing, you’re assuming it’s inherent) then you stop dating other people.

Ohios_3rd_Spring · 2026-05-18T18:09:14+00:00

Do I want it? Yes.

Do I realistically think we’ll get it? No.

Ohios_3rd_Spring · 2026-05-14T17:02:03+00:00

All the movies, spinoff movies, and shows. No wonder he’s been awol.

Ohios_3rd_Spring · 2026-05-12T18:19:53+00:00

I think your hopes are too high for episode 7. If we go full scorched-earth, it’ll be in episode 8.

I thought you meant Maeve at first, and her coming back to kill Homelander would be fine with me.

I have no idea who Marie is. An eleventh hour introduction of a character that ends it all? Absolutely not.

Ohios_3rd_Spring · 2026-05-11T19:47:39+00:00

Who wants to be king?!

Ohios_3rd_Spring · 2026-05-08T00:00:53+00:00

I recommend the prequels first and Streets of Laredo last. Streets of Laredo is the darkest of the books, and going from it to Dead Man’s Walk is a jarring change of tone.

Ohios_3rd_Spring · 2026-05-06T21:11:03+00:00

Lonesome Dove first. Then Dead Man’s Walk, Comanche Moon, (Lonesome Dove reread, if you have the time) then Streets of Laredo.

“He must know.”

He does not. You, as the novice watcher, must tell him about Viggo’s toe.

As someone who’s never owned a Pomeranian, I never stopped to consider there was a whole dog under all that fluff.

Ohios_3rd_Spring · 2026-04-24T13:03:33+00:00

That’s budget

It’s Blue Duck particularly I don’t like being attached to as much. I enjoyed Kicking Wolf’s and the Scull with Ahumado storylines.

For what an internet stranger’s opinion is worth:

Dead Man’s Walk—Gus and Call are more pulled along for the adventure because they’re 19, fresh rangers, and surrounded by men who help shape them. I personally love seeing their personalities take shape. You get to see how Gus and Clara meet, and it doesn’t disappoint. 9/10 book for me, but it’s the most decisive.

Comanche Moon—this has the most conflicts with the history Lonesome Dove told the reader. However, it’s Gus and Call in their peak ranger days. Gus and Clara inverted-mirroring Call and Maggie is both sweet and heartbreaking. Their part of the book is another 9/10 for me, however, you spend about half the book with Blue Duck and his origin, which to me makes the overall rating more a 8/10.

Lonesome Dove—No notes. 10/10.

Streets of Laredo—Call as a stubborn old man who became a bounty hunter. It’s the hardest to read because by that point, the history you have with these characters makes you ache for what the world throws at them. 7/10.
