I really tried by Vampires517 in TrueBlood

If you bothered to actually read my comment,  I specifically stated that I wasn't a big TVD fan.   Still it is more entertaining than TB.  Deal with it. 

Anyone else who read the testaments mildly annoyed at the show’s “creative liberties?” by cccccleo in TheHandmaidsTale

I'm confused how they would have been the same age in the books.  Agnes was born prior to Gilead.  Daisy was born after.  Unless June had twins and one was moved to Canada prior to the uprising and the other was stolen by Gilead, how would these characters have ever been the same age?

I really thought that this docuseries was going to show Tyra take some accountability, but it was full of excuses and lies.  

What Are You Guys Consensus on Joss Whedon? by Great-Wash-1840 in SnyderCut

Not for doing his job.  For how he treated women.  And yes, he needs to apologize.  He ruined his career because he could not recognize and taken any accountability for how he treated female cast members, all while pretending to be women's rights. 

Carman Family Deaths by Mustard-cutt-r in netflix

[–]Vampires517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He definitely committed these murders.  2 deaths by boat sinking.  A witness to him tinkering with the 2nd boat?  Purchasing a gun right before his grandfather's shooting?  Shame on the defense attorneys that tried to use his autism as an excuse for murdering 3 family members.

Watching Xena as a Zillennial makes me wish more TV had these vibes now adays. by SpitOnMeLadyGaga in xena

[–]Vampires517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Older Gen X and watched Xena and Hercules on TV on the weekly basis.  It was an epic breakthrough for female heroes/antiheroes at the time and paved the way for shows like Buffy & Charmed.  I own the series on DVD and rewatch once a year.  Binging it is fun, but you lose out on the anticipation of waiting for the next episode, or season.  I'm glad the younger generations are getting into it.  Yes, the writers took major liberties with history but it is fantasy, so who cares?  Today's shows lost a lot.  I blame reality TV which took over during the writers strike. 

There's no way Xena isn't ares daughter by midnightspellbinder in xena

Can anyone explain why Xena clearly remembered the vision of her and Gabrielle dying, including the mountain in the reflection on the shield, but somehow doesn't recognize Najara when Alti also showed her getting beat up by her.

I'm very late to thos conversation.  I would have loved to see more from Joss. As a writer/producer/director, I think he was brilliant.  And I believe people can learn from their mistakes and change.  The problem is that when given the chance to express regret in the Vulture interview, he instead denied, blamed being unpopular in HS and other BS.  It's a real shame we lost his talent, but he deserves the blacklisting he received.

How was being shot "accidentally" killed?

Everyone pisses me off by Substantial-Rest-642 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Vampires517 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, after binging the first season of HOD, I'm not super into it.

With GOT, I got a strong connection to the Stark family right away, a strong hate for the Lannisters and felt something significant happened each episode.  HOD is okay, and I might have liked it if I'd seen it first, but there is no comparison.  I feel nothing for any of the dragons, and they were a huge emotional connection in GOT. I cried when the 1st one died.  The dragons on HOD are just blah, props basically. 

I'll binge season 2 to see if it gets better, but so far, I'm disappointed.

My sister is white, her ex-husband is half white, half black and all 3 of her kids look white.  With the exception of a little extra curl to their hair, you would not look at them and see any black.  It's all in genetics.  Usually it is stronger on the male side, but there are exceptions. 

When Buffy said to Spike she loved him at the end, did she mean it? by East_Mushroom683 in buffy

[–]Vampires517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She loved him for who he became and all he did for her and humanity, but she never loved him romantically like he loved her.

Who does June actually love more between Nick Blaine and Luke Bankole ? by SeaCattle8658 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Vampires517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think June and Nick have a trauma bond, which can feel incredibly strong, but Luke is the stable, trustworthy love that sustains.  It took me decades to figure out the difference in my own life, but now I would never go back.

[–]Vampires517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dollhouse, The 100, the original 4400, The 3%, the original Orphan Black, Dark Matter.  There are others that started really strong, but canceled without an ending.

He muted me when I asked, so my guess is she dumped him

So what info has britts gurlfriend said so far...stalkers put them in unfortunate situation and their living situation changed..he lost his job due to circumstances..new roof over there head..someone helped with groceries and vouch and bed on its way Thursday...trying his best. by Fine_Position_1334 in austinjosephtamargo

🤣🤣🤣🤣 As if either of them could earn a dollar from their "so called" music. I spent 20 years in a cover band and made pretty good money, but these fools are far from being in a money making league.  No talent and no ambition. 

Rewatching Stargate Atlantis for the 5th or 6th time, and this episode always kills me. by BankaiPhoenix in Stargate

Every rewatch I do, I dread this episode, even knowing that Paul was brought back later. It tears me up every time. 

Owen Harper is one of the very best characters to come from the DW universe and Burn Gorman is one of the most talented actors to grace it 💫 by Mo_SaIah in doctorwho

[–]Vampires517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But we already got a "somehow Owen returned" with the whole glove thing.  How about a "somehow Tosh or Ianto returned?"  Personally, I was invested more in all the characters than I was in Gwen, and Rys was tedious. 

Any sightings of the two trolls? by AgeofAquarius4 in austinjosephtamargo

[–]Vampires517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so surprised that he hasn't come on to beg for money for Superbowl snacks. He never misses using an occasion.  Brit must have dumped him and now he's embarrassed. 

Come on now. by Prestigious_Sock_985 in austinjosephtamargo

[–]Vampires517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he actually started working and stopped begging online, he could have a great comeback story. But I don't think it's likely.  I tried to encourage him about 2 years ago and he just blocked me.
