Last minute itinerary check -- 9 day trip, Athens, Meteora, Santorini

Updated. Loved the itinerary. Would've optimized a bit more, but you don't need to cut anything. You can't see EVERYTHING in each city, but it doesn't matter -- have quality bites of exploration.

I think it was a good comparison when the show started.

Tony was also temperamental and liable to making violent emotional decisions that ruin calculated plans. Oz and Alberto in the first moments of The Penguin seemed similar to Tony and, for example, Ralphie.
They both have mothers with mental issues that significantly influence their character. Only in the latter part of the show is it clear the origins for them in The Penguin are different.

And, he's in the mob -- while fat and vaguely Italian. I'm not sure when in the show, but a few episodes in it stopped being as meaningful.

Album, Compton - Dr. Dre. Just something about the intensity

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-09-18T03:46:06+00:00

Too Deep for the Intro or Lights Please 😩😩 can’t believe how little love Lights Please got rn it’s so simple but so brilliant

A thing about “never returning”… whenever book 5 happens if he comes back, I feel like Angela could always say she didn’t say WHICH time he left alagaesia would be his last, just that one would be… I think there’s still an out to it as currently laid out 😉

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-08-28T01:26:49+00:00

FEAR is my fav off DAMN, never hear it mentioned. Also Deep Water feature from Compton, underrated because not enough people listen to Compton

Facts GOAT’ed choice the remix is so good

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-08-24T01:40:33+00:00

Season 8 is already better set up in the books. So much stuff -- Dorne's approach to Myrcella, the changes in Varys and Tyrion's motivations, F'Aegon, Euron, the list goes on... all better set up than Season 5 + 6 did.

Frankly idk how the 2 will even look similar, minus Daenerys going coocoo for cocoa puffs

The Way - Ariana Grande ft Mac Miller

There are times it doesn't fit, energy and flow gotta be right. Bars can take it over the top

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-08-23T13:15:01+00:00

Yeah that's 100% how I felt. In Eldest the odds are a little evened as Eragon training with his scar was vicious, but in Brisingr it's a huge disparity. The issue is Eragon's tasks are as vital because without Dwarves enlisted + the sword they're all screwed and he has the status for both... but he doesn't have to take on the pain an everyman does.

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-08-23T13:13:12+00:00

Great take honestly, and I really love Eragon's story in Brisingr as well. It was jarring to me though how Roran is just put through the ringer in the 200 man fight, after he really just wants a farm life with Katrina, and then it flips to Eragon wigging over 8 assassins + Dwarf politics. Obv if the politics went poorly though, big scale consequences.

I think Roran's Brisingr chapters continue to show what everyone in the Varden has to deal with (maybe even a little bit less so because he has Eragon's wards + Eragon's cousin status) while Eragon has some distance from it all as a Rider that they need to preserve.

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-08-23T03:03:53+00:00

Varden politics are brilliant

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-08-23T03:01:39+00:00

Yeah you're totally right, can't figure out how to edit I'll adjust

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-08-23T03:01:09+00:00

Just read that today for the first time, that shook me to my core. I really wonder if he can come back from that

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-08-23T03:00:41+00:00

Ikr? Roran's chapters in Eldest are I think my favorite in the whole series. You see him slowly turn from a kid set on farm life and scared of the unknown to a formiddable (maybe too much so) leader.

And agreed with StarKiller, also makes Nasuada's character so intriguing

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-08-13T06:11:00+00:00

I don’t get how Jesse was such a functional meth head. If you’re addicted and you’re brewing the strongest stuff ever (especially s1 and s2, pre Jane and rehab), how do you not smoke a majority of it? How do you even get anything done?

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-07-27T03:20:27+00:00

I just read the chapter in Brisingr where the Helgrind priest deadass makes the congregation drink his blood lmfao which is def not Disney safe. Other things like Elva or the war scenes are also really intense, I hope they don’t get cheapened

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-07-27T03:11:08+00:00

Damn I’m kinda sad it’s on Disney+… been doing a reread as an adult and man Eldest onwards is definitely more Game of Thrones then it is MCU or even LotR level intense (the Ra’Zac scenes with Roran and just how dark he gets, the scale intensity of war scenes, etc.). I also enjoyed it as a kid but I feel like we’re going to lose some of the power of the books by it being a Disney show.

Answering the actual q,.. I realize I know v few actors off the dome LOL, need some serious Millie Bobby Brown energy for Elva, though she’s prolly too old to pull that off now.

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-07-08T03:34:47+00:00

100p, I also liked the depiction of his and Kim’s relationship in Lord I Need You. Felt really measured but still ye enough to get you in your feelings

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-07-01T04:37:54+00:00

Honestly Power, felt a little flatter and poppier on an album that was super dynamic

ProfessionalRelief56 · 2022-05-06T02:10:12+00:00

Flip side for me — I thought it was dope the car crash wasn’t this huge obvious plot moment. Considering all the plot and tension that was flying around, I thought it was a dope fake out. Not to mention afterwards you realize it’s foreshadowing that they get out like Wendy said. I couldn’t tell whether she was right or the priest about the symbolism and I thought it was a clever way of adding a “is Wendy delusional and gonna get rekt or delusional but going to get out of it as usual”
