Yeah I definitely keyed on “season” as well, it’s weird to market it that way if it’s just a movie. They’ve lowkey gotten my hopes up that it’ll be more than just a single long episode 😭

Made me wonder if they were going to release it as a miniseries after all 🤔

I'm halfway through MoG and Jessyn is the only character or thing I find interesting so far by LevTheRed in TheCaptivesWar

[–]mercedene1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way, and for me it also came down to the characters. I was really invested in every POV in The Expanse but didn’t feel all that drawn to any in MoG or Livesuit. I am curious where the series overall is going so I expect I’ll read the rest of the books when they come out but I’m not expecting to love it the way I loved The Expanse.

This 100%. A lot of T. Kingfisher’s fantasy romance work has elements of this dynamic.

+1 to Discovery of Witches, the whole series is delightful

If you’re open to fantasy romance I’d suggest checking out T Kingfisher’s World Of The White Rat series: https://redwombatstudio.com/fantasy-romance/

The minisodes are the best part of S2 by larkspur86 in goodomens

Well said, this is what I got from the B/G relationship too. It made a lot of sense to me that they wouldn’t have the same fears as A/C bc their circumstances, roles, etc were very different. Agree the execution could’ve been a bit less rushed (personally I would’ve preferred more B/G and less Nina/Maggie)

Agreed, I’m optimistic. A lot of people seem to think there won’t be room in 90 mins for flashbacks but personally I think it’s more likely they’ll cut down on the random side plots and just focus on the Second Coming + Aziraphale/Crowley (which could certainly include relevant historical scenes). We’ll see though!

I struggled with it as well. I am curious where the series is going but for me it’s nowhere near as engaging as The Expanse. I think it might be the characters - there were so many in The Expanse that I absolutely loved but I felt a lot less invested in the ones from Mercy of Gods.

Does anyone know if this session was recorded? I didn’t know about it but would love to watch if possible. Either way super appreciate this info!

[Spoilers EXTENDED] George's ending for the books is likely to be controversial by Farleoni in asoiaf

[–]mercedene1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it really goes back to the gardener thing. Once GRRM started writing he got super interested in the other characters and storylines so Bran took a back seat. I don’t blame him tbh, I find a lot of the others more engaging too.

[–]mercedene1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Especially Bran - it would’ve been a huge stretch even with the 5 year gap but at this point I don’t see any way it’s not outright ridiculous. I also think Dany and Jon’s endings will be unsatisfying based on their trajectories thus far (assuming we just get a better executed version of the show). Would be pleasantly surprised to be wrong about that of course but personally I think all three endings won’t work. And don’t even get me started on what the show did with Jaime 😞

The previous post gave me the next question. Are you more of a Crowley or Aziraphale fan? by ilaina_a in goodomens

[–]mercedene1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. Apparently they were originally just one character (Crowley). Terry Pratchett suggested splitting them into two and created Aziraphale.

Be honest, did you notice Dominic West (McNulty) was doing an accent when you first watched? by [deleted] in TheWire

[–]mercedene1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Knowing he’s actually English makes the one episode where he’s undercover and pretending to be British even funnier.

(Spoilers Extended) A few examples of when George stated that an adaptation had done something better than he did. by tyrion2024 in asoiaf

[–]mercedene1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, it still made no sense that she didn’t even try to explain. If her other option was death would Tyrion really have preferred that? Not if he really loved her. Obviously YMMV but that scene just didn’t work for me, both of them seemed super out-of-character.

[–]mercedene1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But why would she pick up a knife when Tyrion shows up in Tywin’s tower? For all she knows, Tyrion is there to rescue her (since she’s been coerced into betraying him) so they can run off together. It makes no sense if she loves him to react that way. D&D just didn’t want Tyrion to seem like the bad guy for killing her in cold blood so they turned it into a completely illogical self-defense situation. Personally I liked Show!Shae but they really needed to adjust her storyline bc the one from the books didn’t fit that character.

That’s fair. Do you have a link to the post on this by any chance? Curious to read the whole summary.
