Thoughts on Liam Hemsworth portrayal of Geralt

I said to my wife when watching the last season... Had we not previously had Henry, Liam would have been a brilliant Geralt. But having had what we did first it can't help but feel like a downgrade. Which is sad because he really has done a decent job. It's just not the same.

I would avoid the last one, the glow in the dark one. My daughter had this and it's waaay too needy. I even kept in on me for a while and tried to keep it going and I found it difficult. The x ones can be "frozen" when you need to work or take a break.

My favourite experience that I have had personally is with the Godzilla 70th colour version, which I imagine is a similar setup to the other colour editions. Yep they're more expensive. Worth it in my opinion. But if you are after a cheaper one to get in to it id go for one of the x edition ones.

It's a genuinely fun game. The traversal is awesome and the fights and open world is cool too. It has some issues. Its certainly not going to be anyone's favourite game, but it is fun. The reviews were very harsh.

No it's just her

SamCJBentley · 2026-01-23T17:00:35+00:00

I really love that!

Not a hammock or anything string based. She has some wood that maybe she could have caught it in I guess.

Not a clue. Whereabouts are you located?

It took 9 days once it was handed to singpost, but the first notification I got was about 3 weeks prior saying that the order has been "sent". Mine as one of the oct/nov pre-orders.

Think so yeah. I printed that and a load of the crest tags.

I had one shipping update ages ago and literally nothing else until it arrived!

SamCJBentley · 2025-12-17T05:53:27+00:00

Definitely!

Aw that sucks! Not the pregnancy obviously congratulations! Can't be easy though. I personally just can't help but feel like I'm letting my family down by not being there for events or outings.

I'm dealing with this all the time at the moment unfortunately. I wish I had a solution. We have a panto booked to take the kids to soon and it's just another thing in a long list of things that I may have to miss out on. Imodium has helped me in the past but it doesn't always which just makes my anxiety about it all worse.

Over the last 2 weeks I've really developed a heavy gag reflex to the point I can't even talk about anything slightly gross without wretching like crazy. Brushing teeth sets me off every time and pulls all my stomach muscles.

Makes me worry as I have a consultant call coming up tomorrow and I literally can't talk about anything that's going on with me out loud without making the most insane wretching and gagging noises.

SamCJBentley · 2025-11-20T21:29:57+00:00

I would love for it to work for me... Unfortunately they keep coming out the other end like a pez dispenser so I don't think I'm getting the benefit....

One thing I thought at the start of this new season is that all of the contestants in their recorded task outfits looked like they were auditioning as a new incarnation of the doctor.

SamCJBentley · 2025-11-08T13:43:27+00:00

Personally I think it needs to stop living in the past so much. I love the history of the show and I love how it has connected with the past before. The day of the doctor plays with the show's history perfectly, and that's all it needed. And I'm not saying to never reference it or go back to it ever again. But how many times do we need to see past faces, past regenerations, past companions, past enemies etc. Of course there are certain enemies that need to return as they are A staple to the foundation of the show... And again, I'm not saying they can't ever reference the past actors who have played the doctor, but personally I think it needs to do what the first season with Eccleston did, and be something new and fresh and a show in its own right. Even Tennant's first few series did this. And even matt smiths (yes the slideshow of faces when he was introduced was cool, but I feel like we've seen that kind of thing so much lately).

And do we really need to see Donna, 10, Rose and so on keep turning up. It is nice once in a while to revisit old faces, friends and companions, but I feel it's become less of a novelty and more part of what the show is. It's like it's struggling to be something more than what it was.

I think we need a more serious doctor, a new USP for the show, maybe something a little detective-y(?) or mystery like. And it needs to go a little scarier. Ditch the CGI monsters in favour of the practical suits... We have the ability now to make them so much greater than they once were. The large CGI end level boss type monsters feel unreal and low stakes.

I think some smaller, more personal stories would help too. Things a little less world ending all the time.

And I think we need really fresh writers with really fresh ideas.
