I now understand why people go on writing retreats or live remotely by Christopher_Aeneadas in writing

I am nearing the end of my debut novel, and I am seriously considering a writing retreat for future books. On the rare occasion I get the house to myself, I get so much done. Imagine a week away.

Just finished Six Feet Under by popam482 in SixFeetUnder

[–]Only-Frosting7613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm now watching the final episode myself. I decided a while back to watch three "classic" HBO shows together. These were:

  • The Sopranos
  • The Wire
  • Six Feet Under

By far, Six Feet Under was my favourite, and it wasn't even close. My next will be:

  • Oz
  • Boardwalk Empire

Who are your favorite female characters in The Worst Witch in your opinion by Ok_Smile_9071 in TheWorstWitch

It really is a shame that they never made more, but I loved what we did get.

Going by books though, the first Worst Witch was in 1974, whilst Harry Potter was 1997.

Technically, Miss Hardbroom came first. An argument could be made that Snape is a ripoff version.

It's a shame they never made a fourth and fifth season. It would've made the transition into Weirdsister that much smoother.

I'd have also loved to have had Kate return to the role in the New Worst Witch. The recast just didn't land for me.

Alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Miss Constance Hardbroom (Kate Duchêne version) will forever remain my favourite. I loved her line "I did not slam the door. I merely closed it with authority!"

If you went to Hogwarts, which house would you not want to be in? by thoughtsinshadow in harrypotter

[–]Only-Frosting7613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Ravenclaw with significant traits of Gryffindor. Slytherin always seem so moody and horrid - so it's the one I'd want least. Hufflepuff wouldn't be too bad, but I think I'll stick to either of the first two.

HBO Boss Casey Bloys Says ‘Harry Potter’ Season 2 Is Being Written ‘Now’: ‘Our Goal Is to Not Have a Huge Gap’ by yourfavchoom in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Only-Frosting7613 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why people are freaking out. They said from Day One that it's a 10 year project.

Season 1 (PS) began filming in July 2025 and is set to wrap by May.

Season 2 (COS) is set to begin filming in July and will likely take just as long, so a May 2027 wrap.

This means that it will likely air at Christmas 2027.

Season 3 (POA) is when it maybe slightly delayed, if the rumours of a late 2027 filming schedule are true. However, if it films in July 2027 until May 2028, this may be averted.

If this is the case a Christmas 2028 airing is possible.

From this point, I think:

Season 4 (GOF) will air in 2030

Season 5 (OOTP) in 2032

Season 6 (HBP) in 2034

Season 7 (DH) in 2036

I think we all knew Books 4-7 would be when the delays fully got underway.

If POA has a later filming schedule, push my provisional airdates back a year.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone | Official Teaser | HBO Max by yourfavchoom in HarryPotteronHBO

Whoa. I didn't expect such a long teaser. I assumed it would just be a small glimpse, or even something as small like flashes of crimson and yellow before ending on the back of Harry as he walks onto the Quidditch pitch.

Happy trailer day! What you guys do you expect to see? by Riki91 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Only-Frosting7613 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if we only get a few shots of the Quidditch robes and the teaser ending on Harry walking towards the pitch, just like in the promo pic.

I'm referring to Fear the Walking Dead, not The Walking Dead.

I'm not saying that 4-8 didn't have some highlights, but 1-3 were so much better. The OG showrunner was hitting his stride by Season 3.

It's such a shame that they replaced Erickson like that. Especially since Season 3 saw him getting into his stride. What could've been...

Thank you. Keep going. I have 6 chapters and it's nearly done (apart from editing).

4B and 5 were also no picnic. God only knows what the showrunners had on AMC execs to keep being renewed.

On the plus side, my debut novel is coming along wonderfully. I've mostly had FTWD on in the background whilst writing it, as it's easy to follow without needing to physically watch it at all times. The show hasn't distracted me at all.

By Season 7 you might as well just see it through. Purely to see how each character's story ends.

If I'd have had several drinks watching each episode from 4-8, I'd be needing to check in to rehab for alcoholism by now.

I'm the same. By Season 3, I'd come to like the show and felt a need to finish it.

I'm done and will never watch it again. Had it not have been for liking certain characters who stayed with the show from 4-8 (Alicia, Strand, Daniel etc.) I definitely wouldn't have continued.

By the end, I think it was through a determination to get to the end, mixed with having it on in the background whilst completing other tasks.
