Yeah I think you’re right as a fanfic. Coming of the heels of Andor too… I mean everything is gonna look shit compared to that series haha. But I think it’s also our first look at The High Republic and honestly expectations are rightfully high (no pun intended) because this is effectively our first peek at something that has nothing to do with the Skywalker era. And it just didn’t meet that bar, which kinda puts a bad taste in future endeavors.

Honestly it’s a systematic failure of Executive leadership at Disney more than anything. At countless points this project should’ve been axed or halted for rewrites. Giving that much latitude to an inexperienced show runner is very dangerous.

No no this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I’m the rare Witcher fan who’s read all the books, seen the shows (actually liked Season 1 Netflix despite changes, but now want the producers to never work again), but never played the games. I hadn’t played any because doing 2 games kinda felt like a task to play the one that’s so famous. I have W3 and def will play it now, especially cool to see the Wild Hunt in game. Thanks!!!

Watch how quickly all these accounts shut the fuck up about Gaza the second the clock strikes 12:01 Jan 20, 2025. I’m honestly kinda disappointed in the extreme low effort the troll farms are putting in this season. It’s like they know Trump is gonna lose, so there’s no fun anymore in it.

Hopefully Putin gives them the ole Window March for failing so spectacularly.

I gotta say, you write in a very similar way to Anthony Bourdain. The cadence especially. I actually read it in his voice, well done.

Actually kinda surprised one of the Ritz-Carlton Yachts is on there.
