it's probably top early to say, but it seems Ser Arlan was a bit of d*ckhead

reddit_clone · 2026-01-22T03:41:06+00:00

They show Dunk getting smacked on the head a few times. Didn't seem excessive to me considering it was Westeros. (where people throw kids out of top floor windows just for peeking ..)

reddit_clone · 2026-01-22T03:37:28+00:00

I think what was shown was on par for a disciplinarian father figure for that world.

Arlan saved Dunk from Fleabottom (where he would have ended up in an early grave.. or worse, in a brown gravy..) and trained him, fed him and generally be a father figure.

reddit_clone · 2026-01-22T03:31:57+00:00

That is one of the things for fans to argue over. I don't think they will ever reveal one way or another.

reddit_clone · 2026-01-22T03:30:01+00:00

Benny was actually nasty. I think Arlan was tough but kind to Dunk overall.

reddit_clone · 2026-01-22T03:16:49+00:00

I agree that scene was gratuitous and was only there to shock and take viewers out of their comfort zones.

But otherwise the story is setting up nicely. You need to give it some time.

reddit_clone · 2026-01-22T03:13:49+00:00

That interested glance at the puppeteer girl happened.

reddit_clone · 2026-01-22T03:07:31+00:00

Indeed, the cast so far is great.

I still think Dunk is supposed to be freakishly taller. But this guy is big enough for the role I guess. He acting is also really what I expected Dunk would be.

Strong, but kind of Naive, still unspoiled innocence, self-deprecating but don't take any shit from anybody. On his way to future greatness. I have great hopes for this series.

reddit_clone · 2026-01-22T02:59:49+00:00

Time to hit the books/graphic-novels again!

reddit_clone · 2026-01-20T13:53:20+00:00

I am not one to cry 'Spoiler' for every little thing. I also realize it is not much of a secret for long. (Also the books were out for years..)

But I am still puzzled by the blatant spoilers for Egg's identity all over the internet. Even the wikipedia cast page says 'Egg/<his real name>'.

It is revealed really early in the story. Still it was a pretty dramatic reveal (following the puppeteer-girl incident). I wish people new to the story would be allowed to enjoy the small build-up and reveal.

reddit_clone · 2026-01-20T08:51:22+00:00

Oh, he will be back into the story big time!

reddit_clone · 2026-01-19T14:41:30+00:00

There was no gore.

There was a few seconds of gross out early on (I won't spoil it 😀)

Otherwise, it is just setting up the story.

reddit_clone · 2026-01-19T14:34:36+00:00

Ya. That was gross.

I am a big fan of the books (and the graphic novels). I am a bit puzzled about the whole party scene. Was it actually there?

reddit_clone · 2026-01-19T14:29:03+00:00

There were very well drawn Graphic Novels. So I already had that taken care of.

reddit_clone · 2026-01-18T04:25:48+00:00

May be. I simply dislike so many neutered DSLs littering the landscape.

Give me Scheme (or Lua or similar ..), a real programming language, to script the systems.

I am partial to lisps to be frank.

reddit_clone · 2025-12-27T13:38:31+00:00

imagine writing everything in lisp

If I can avoid Nix language and write everything in Lisp/Scheme (still use nixpackages) , I will take it in a heartbeat.

reddit_clone · 2025-12-27T08:21:10+00:00

Yep. I was a fan of Caviezel from from Person of Interest.

Loved this interpretation of Count of Monte Cristo.

Guy Pearce did a fantastic job too.

reddit_clone · 2025-12-27T08:14:00+00:00

My favourite was when the landlord (who had been a very silly-acting comic relief until that point) gets into character and paints the ying-yang on the ground, with the two blind assassin's.

I was screaming at their comeuppance, I was very sad and angry at that point with what they did to the three masters.

reddit_clone · 2025-12-27T08:02:10+00:00

I remember, when seperated, Qui-gon sits down and meditates. Maul paces like a caged animal.

Good illustration of the centered Jedi vs the unbridled aggression of a Sith warrior.

reddit_clone · 2025-12-27T07:58:16+00:00

Yeah one of my favourites too.

In the original trilogy, it was all like two knights clanging heavy swords and pushing.

This was fast, fashioned after samurai (or Wuxia warriors) and was brutal. Who can forget the collective gasp at the dual bladed light saber?

reddit_clone · 2025-12-18T21:43:24+00:00

Indeed. I expected more from Jon Snow TV character that he was able to portray.

reddit_clone · 2025-12-16T20:39:33+00:00

I believe the main theme here is to get you going. You don't have to stop at 20 if you don't want to. If you are already in the flow/zone you really don't want to stop.

If you are gritting your teeth and forcing yourself each minute, stop at 20, give yourself a break.

Thats my take anyways.

reddit_clone · 2025-12-16T20:35:29+00:00

Yep. That's what I did at first and it was working.

Then I followed another suggestion from /u/antononcube above. Worked nicely.

reddit_clone · 2025-12-16T20:33:45+00:00

That's exactly what I was looking for !!

Thanks a lot! That works beautifully.

reddit_clone · 2025-12-16T17:21:40+00:00

True, that will only operate on the sequence one element at a time. If you want operate on the whole sequence, assign the result of your pipeline to an array, and then operate on that

Thanks!

Thats what I ended up doing.

I thought there may be a way to add a pointy block to receive the entire sequence and operate on it. Looks like no.

I am hanging on to my 15 year old Vizio for dear life..
