All the Small Things (TV series) Puns

It amazes me that there's zero talk about this, or on the internet.

What are some thing y'all would actually want to see changed in the TV show? They've got a chance to fix continuity issues (maybe let's not convince the entire audience Taim is Demandred this time?) or expand on things that weren't touched heavily.

For me, I want them to expand the retcon about the wolves being summoned by the Horn to Falme. It would fix a continuity problem, and I think there's a chance for some nice literary symmetry if the push back Perrin meeting Elyas until after the Horn is sounded and he's heard the voices of the wolf Heroes in his head. The first time the audience would be introduced to the idea of a wolfbrother is with the wolf Heroes of the Horn and the last time the wolves appear on screen would be as wolf Heroes of the Horn.

The plots I vaguely remember are:

1. A guy gets a group of people together for some sort of experiment all the students must be 'pure' (for the lack of a better word) with no tattoos or body modifications. In one scene he gets them all in a circle and they all get naked, he notices one of the girls has a little butterfly tattoo she is worried she'll get kicked off the program but he decides to let it slide.
2. This might have been part of the ending to plot number 1 but I cant remember. A group of people are infected with some sort of disease which turns them into trees very slowly. Anyone they touch also get the disease, to stop it in the end they all decide to sacrifice themselves by standing in a circle holding hands to contain the spread.
3. All women have stopped being able to have babies, main character comes into hospital pregnant, whilst there she sees another woman give birth to a creepy dead baby, (think it was just deformed but it could have been an alien) she escapes the hospital with help by hiding in a coffin and is taken to a place in the woods where there are healthy children running around.

Could be completely miss-remembering these or may even be unrelated to each other, but I have been searching for many years and my Dad has no idea what i'm talking about. Tell me I ain't crazy.

Seriously guys, this is the greatest show ever. However, the boxing is pretty darn bad. Not that i claim to be some kind of boxing wizard, but the actor who played Cutty should have taken at least a couple of boxing classes in preparation for the role, or they should have had a real boxing coach as a consultant for the show.

The guy had zero footwork and stands basically square towards the heavy bag. He also fails to turn his hip when he throws the right; it basically has no power. It's a miracle he even survived prison IMO. He should definitely not be teaching kids (besides the fact that he's a convicted murderer) I'll give the kids he trains a pass since they're total amateurs from the street.

On the positive side, in season 3 where he makes his students spar against kids from the other gym, the kid they bring in is quite talented; clearly someone with training.

Was wondering if anyone else noticed that the boxing was a little hokey. Also, i really don't mean to shit on this show. It really is a masterpiece.

The Boltons using Jeyne Poole in the book made some sense. They dressed her up as Sansa Arya and paraded her around as a Stark, and she had no agency so they could keep the charade up for as long as necessary. The Boltons stayed in control of the dynamic and could claim some legitimacy to the North.

But the Boltons KNOW this is the real Sansa Stark. And they know that she knows that they are responsible for murdering her family and betraying the north. So wouldn't they be a tad bit suspicious that at some point she would try and get even? And once the word got out, that the North would rise up to defend her? Like isn't this plot a little too transparent for the usually conniving Littlefinger?

I'm happy that Sansa is in Winterfell because it means far more meaningful interactions, but I wish D&D had done a little bit more in terms of development to get her there. That plot felt a bit rushed compared to everything else unfolding in Westeros, so I'm wondering what everyone thinks about that.

Game I was doing with friends.

Season 3 Episode 22: All Good Things...

Air Dates: USA: Monday 06 May, 2019 (8/7c) | Worldwide via Netflix: Tuesday 07 May, 2019

Synopsis: In the second part of the series finale, Jonathan begins his reign of vengeful terror as the Shadowhunters try to find a way to stop him. With only one hope, Clary must make a sacrifice that could have long-lasting implications for all. Meanwhile, wedding bells are in the air for one special couple.

note: rather than block out the text I'm just going to blanket this as a general TV spoiler post.

Just a little breakdown of why I was so impressed with this episode:

• Sean Bean for your consideration - Ned's 'detective-like' investigation of Jon Arryn's death is so well acted it's hard to describe. You can see just how quickly Ned caught on to what happened, who is lying, and how disinterested he is in hearing the lies that are clouding Arryn's death. Sean Bean's facial expressions during his inquisition with the Grand Maester are so perfect. Also, the look on his face as he looks into the face of Robert's bastard son is priceless. Re-watching this episode really deepened my respect for Bean's performance.

• Tyrion the innocent & empathetic - I was stunned by how well Dinklage captured the essence of someone who has clearly learned not to judge anyone & empathize with how one's history grows to define them, hence the title of the episode. The subtle hostility towards him by Robb Stark simply because he is a Lannister irritated him & it showed. His gentle demeanor in the offering of the riding harness schematics to Bran really felt sincere and effectively made me feel like Tyrion clearly had many obstacles to overcome in his life. Also, in the last scene before Cat accuses him you can really tell that Tyrion is innocent.

• Ser Allister the misunderstood - 'Drill sergeants' are never supposed to be gentle people but I thought the series was really trying to hammer him down as a cruel and uncaring bully... but his monologue @ Snow & Sam made me feel like he is just a soldier that has seen hell and is now scared shitless. His bullying might be the best thing for them. Excellent scene.

• Jorah Mormont the penitent - I absolutely love his character and Iain Glen deserves praise. I think his conversation with Dany as they ride with the horde is under rated; he is clearly somewhat of a victim of his ex-wife's greed but he does not use it to justify his actions. He comes across as someone filled with regret & accepting his own punishment. His description of the 'new people running the kingdom' (i.e. Ned) does a good job indirectly showing viewers that he has a long history from Westeros, the Starks, etc.. It feels like if under different circumstances, Jorah and Ned would have been great friends as they both similarly personify a code of honor.

• The foreshadowing in this episode is everywhere. King Robert's bastard

I'm imagining what the writers room looked like.

On day one, surely everybody would have to sit down and write 10 things they can think of that are interesting about the 5 (or so) main characters of this series.

I picked Angua as a thought experiment. Nothing of these (quickly) written character traits are apparent in the TV show. What's the point of making a show about these characters if you don't bother making the characters?

I invite everybody else to write: 10 interesting things about 'x' character in the discworld series...

(n.b. these are not all the interesting things, just the first 10 I thought of)

10 interesting things about Angua:

1. She is a werewolf. This relates to many other aspects of what make her interesting, but key here is that she is not human. She can choose to be human shaped, or wolf shaped, but she is neither.

2. She can smell so well that she can ‘see the past’. By walking into a room, she can almost see where and when everybody was and their emotion at the time.

3. This makes her a good detective, but she is also highly intelligent in her own right. Good at not jumping to conclusions based on clues and good at deducing further information using her ‘logical’ rather than ‘bestial’ side.

4. She is an aristocrat. Born to a prominent family in Uberwald, she left because she resented how they dominated (and even occasionally hunted) the local population, among other things.

5. She is in love with Captain Carrot. Not merely because he doesn’t judge her for being part wolf, but because he doesn’t judge anyone for their shape (as a human raised a dwarf he is morphically blind, as it were).

6. Even though she is a beautiful woman, she never feels feminine because there’s a part of her that always feels like the fur, the hair, the wolfishness is evident to all. Even though it isn’t.

7. She hides clothes around the city for those times when she needs to let loose (usually around full moon) and never wants to have to appear in front of people naked, and muddy. She even goes back the next day to leave money at any farm where she may have attacked the livestock.

8. She respects Vimes. Perhaps because she can see that he also has a ‘monstrous’ side to him. She envies and respects the fact that he quit alcohol because she also strives to quit the part of her that leads to suffering in others.

9. She is a proud member of the Watch because in the watch it doesn’t matter what your genes say you are, you are a watchman. Not

Catelyn Stark reveal and Brienne *being hung (changed for fussy pepple!)

I think as far as shock factor goes, having Brienne captured, and then Catelyn walking out during her hanging / trial.

Edit: this is further supported by Vargo Hoat being at the wall. So the scene in the book where Brienne kills him won't happen.

Right, let's talk Fallout TV.

Always fascinated me! I mean, surely no one would pay nearly $2000 in total to build a model train one measly part at a time?
