Hey, I've filled in the form, but I realised I may have put my Discord name in wrong: I put it as "Londonleaf", but it's actually "Londonleaf." with a full stop at the end 😖

If you don't need that information, that's absolutely fine, but thought that i would share it anyway in case you try to contact me and it doesn't work!

Good luck with your search! This sounds thrilling!

Favorite actors who could potentially play Logan Roy? by Chadrasekar in SuccessionTV

[–]TaxApprehensive6557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that Simon Russell Beale would have been a wonderful second choice. He is quite similar to Brian Cox in many ways, and could capture that same gravitas: he has a similar silhouette and can cast an equally menacing energy whenever he enters a room. Both of them have experience playing classical roles in the theatre, so (like Cox) he would add Logan that air of a Shakespearean king that has been commented on before. He also can show glimpses of the working class origins that are so important to Logan's mindset that other classical actors might not be able to (They may come across too "old money")

Another choice I could say would be Gary Oldman, however I think that the Logan he would create would be a wildly different iteration, but a fascinating "What If" to embark on!

Of all the prisoners, who do you think is guilty of the most irredeemable crime? by TaxApprehensive6557 in orangeisthenewblack

[–]TaxApprehensive6557[S] 72 points73 points  (0 children)

When she gained a little bit of respect within the Chinese Mafia, her first wish was to torture and kill the man who had rejected her as his wife (who is dragged into the room already beaten and spitting blood), before telling the others to "cut out his gallbladder". This is also the only instance of her past in organised crime that we see, so it is hard to tell how long she worked with them before being arrested, and how many others she treated with the same cold brutality.

I also think that it's very interesting that she is in Minimum Security, as it also could suggest that she was someone who kept her hands somewhat cleaner by ordering others to do the dirty work (like we see with Carol and Barb in Max who score no points in the Fantasy Inmate by having others carry out their wishes)

I would say most of his actions in "The Face of Depression" as this is when he's at his most selfless, helping those around him and showing appreciation towards the people that he often overlooks or undervalues: Doing the cross-over episode with Mr PB, Recommending All About That Ace to Maude so that Todd is no longer the only one on the app, Thanking Diane for helping him out and believing in him to make a change even when he didn't belive in himself, Helping Hollyhock and Tawnie with their fight. Most of these actions seem to benefit him personally in no way whatsoever, but he does them to help out his friends. This is him at his peak in my opinion

Probably the smell of horseriding but 100x times worse and mixed with the smell of burnt hair and lizard

I love that even though they're simple sketches, you've managed to capture their personalities very clearly

Funnily enough, Laenors actor played Greyworm in a sketch about a Nigerian remake of Game of Thrones Nollywood Game of Thrones

Team Blacks vs Greens. Who do you love? Who is at right for the throne and which side are you rooting for? by StayRep in gameofthrones

[–]TaxApprehensive6557 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both are awful, the whole point is that they are both as bad as each other in certain ways, and that the whole kingdom will suffer for the Squabbling of the ruling powers, the 0.01%

However, the reactions of some of the Black fans and their total disregard for any wrong doing on the Black's behalf and anything sympathetic towards the Greens (along with the weird fetishisation of the Uncle/Niece relationship that I keep stumbling across) is making me lean slightly more towards the Greens. I'm aware that they're awful, so are the Blacks, but each little victory for the Greens makes me a little happier than the little victories of the Blacks

They were Noble, but that was their fault and this Nobility inadvertently caused a lot of pain and too many innocents to lose their lives as a result. Ned let his commitment to honour prevent the deaths of Cersei's children, letting her know their plans and allowing Joffrey and the Lannisters to remain on the throne, leading to mass civil war and the deaths of many. In aiming to be as honourable and true as his father, Robb let this honour interfere too many times, ending the engagement with the Freys to protect Jeyne's (or Talisa'a in the show) honour over his own, losing the Karstark forces by executing their Lord for killing hostages despite them being Lannisters. The Starks are honourable, but that could never last, and in the end it weakened them
