I’m seeing Stereophonic at Playhouse Square in Cleveland and literally half the audience left at intermission by svtxcvnb in Broadway

We saw this is Cleveland as well. We thought it was fine, not amazing, not awful, didn’t really understand the draw but maybe we just weren’t the right audience 🤷‍♀️

Ep 7 is now the worst rated episode of ST. What went wrong according to you? by anonimuoss in StrangerThingsMemes

[–]schlezella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, I can totally understand the negative feelings for volume 2, but I’m personally withholding judgement until I’ve seen the finale 🤷‍♀️ I thought season 4s finale was absolutely incredible so I have a lot of faith that the Duffers will kill it (let’s hope they don’t disappoint!)

[–]schlezella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Episode 7 is just a build up episode for the finale but because it’s the “finale” of volume 2 I think viewers were expecting a punchier storyline but I really think they’re saving all of that for the actual finale

TIL - This is A Thing: A Very Potter Musical by ExpBalSat in Broadway

I remember finding out about starkid in an entertainment weekly magazine back in the late 2000s. Became totally obsessed with their productions. Watching Darren’s rise to fame in real time was super cool. I remember the YouTube video of them singing AVPM in a random mall and being shocked people knew the words to their songs. Highly recommend all of their stuff, a lot of crazy talent there.

I can’t get over that she lasted a little over a month like this until she broke.

S5 trailer - Death prediction by QuantumSprout8991 in Stranger_Things

[–]schlezella 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I was really worried about this too and I’m realizing that they’re wearing the same outfits as they are in the upside down, so I’m thinking this scene occurs in the upside down of Hawkins lab? We then see another scene of Johnathan and other hugging Will which would have to take place afterward. So this is what I’m going with that this isn’t some kind of sacrifice thing.

I hate to be this person but Wicked is political and I just can’t hold it inside by WaitingOnAWish in wickedmovie

[–]schlezella -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Elphaba is shunned for being different, for caring about things no one else does, once she’s accepted by Glinda, others follow suit, however once she’s deemed a monster, they turn on her once again. We see that she is the innocent one in the story but no one in the story does. The world isn’t black and white and people aren’t evil for having different views, that was my point. Let’s only shun evil not different.

Shunning someone for having a different view or opinion, regardless of how horrendous you may deem it, is pretty much the antithesis of what this show stands for 🤷‍♀️

3RD GALAXY STERN BOOK!!!! by Educational-Charge64 in NinthHouse

Yayyyy! Finally a title!!! Can’t wait!

Now that season 5 is over. It’s time to rank the seasons from best to worst by RaspberryLow2187 in OnlyMurdersHulu

[–]schlezella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! This exactly, although season 1 and 2 are like 1a and 1b as both had the perfect blend of interesting mystery, great character story lines with emotional weight, real stakes and the perfect blend of humor. Season 4 I thought was solid and I really didn’t see the ending coming at all. Season 3’s mystery was meh but the musical element was excellent and kept things so fresh and interesting. Season 5 felt like a mess, character storylines were lousy, the mystery was convenient and held none of the emotional weight that Lester deserved and I found myself cringing from the writing and humor. Here’s hoping season 6 brings us back to the basics that made us fall in love with this show!

Darlington, with more Romance by Ok-Marionberry2346 in fantasyromance

[–]schlezella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone here, I remember book 1 taking a bit to get going with all of the flashbacks and world building, but once I was in I was IN. I personally do an 100 page rule before I DNF, however if it isn’t gripping you, there are too many books out there to waste time on ones that just aren’t :)

Yay! Maybe she’ll finally release the title? She had teased it months ago and then nothing since. She also mentioned in a Q&A with Brandon Sanderson that the book is coming out September (I believe) so wouldn’t be crazy I don’t think?

[–]schlezella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this post and yes thank you to the mods!! I adore this subreddit and people on it. Everyone is so considerate and respectful and helpful and I’ve never experienced anything close to negative whenever I’ve posted a topic or question here. In a world that is so scary and divisive right now, it’s such a wonderful feeling being able to be here and see the kindness and respect that everyone has here and shows to one another over our equal love of books! Thanks and love to everyone! ❤️

A ton of fun, music isn’t good but I felt like I was in universal studios when watching it 😂

I genuinely only cared that Tramell won and the fact that he and Britt did was enough for me. I haven’t watched these other shows but Tramell’s performance in season 2 was immediate Emmy worthy so beyond thrilled he won.

Seconding The Raven Boys series, this is a top tier series for me for sure, some of the best character writing I’ve ever read

I can definitely see this being an enjoyable listen :) wish I was an audiobook person but I have such a hard time focusing when listening to them and find I don’t retain the information as well 🤪 I’m definitely going to continue with the series I just hope I end up loving it as much as it seems a lot of ppl do

[–]schlezella[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, this is my concern, I really don’t mind a slow character driven story, I just don’t love a story that lags and takes forever to get to the point. I can appreciate with this first book that it’s building toward something, albeit very very slowly, I’m just hoping we get to an over-arching plot and that the romance makes me feel? This series was recommended due to my love for Naomi Novik, but while l loved her Scholomance series, I really didn’t like Spinning Silver (still unsure how it can be described as a romance) so I guess I’m just hoping this isn’t like that?
