Political considerations take priority over *everything* Tom Send a noteboard - 29/09/2023 10:45:08 PM

I keep shouting that because people seem to be ignoring it. Their political messaging is more important than plot, character development, character authenticity, world building, pacing, design or tone. The political messaging is the only thing they care about. Everything else is secondary.

It's like the absolutely inane and unwatchable "Ahsoka" - the entire thing is a paean to "girl power" but the characters are all flat and lifeless.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I mean, it's not like the show is good to people who subscribe to that political message, either. Legolas - 29/09/2023 11:59:35 PM 226 Views
Well, that's the problem with prioritizing political points Tom - 02/10/2023 01:58:14 PM 222 Views
The issues with the WOT creatives are the same as the Rings of Power creatives..... Anonymous2000 - 30/09/2023 03:40:33 PM 235 Views
I agree with this completely The Shrike - 02/10/2023 11:07:08 AM 223 Views

Rafe doesn't understand heterosexual males. The Shrike - 02/10/2023 02:39:15 PM 214 Views
Absolutely - Rafe's job should be..... Anonymous2000 - 03/10/2023 01:33:28 AM 251 Views
In some ways the same, but there's one very big difference... Legolas - 02/10/2023 05:40:34 PM 218 Views
Also. I am ready for Ishamael and Mat to get it on. The Shrike - 29/09/2023 04:31:21 PM 234 Views
Agreed on Lanfear! Anonymous2000 - 30/09/2023 03:48:03 PM 220 Views

So this version of Ishamael does have some positives... but his motivation is insomnia? Seriously? Legolas - 29/09/2023 09:31:43 PM 239 Views
Good point on Ishamael..... Anonymous2000 - 30/09/2023 03:36:25 PM 221 Views
But what's their long-term plan for him? Cannoli - 01/10/2023 04:53:39 AM 286 Views
That's a good question - but then, there is much less of a long term than in the books. Legolas - 02/10/2023 05:28:36 PM 218 Views
Judkins has supposedly said that this season is getting the characters into place for the Bk4 plots Cannoli - 03/10/2023 12:37:47 AM 237 Views
Why would Moiraine and Lan casually follow Lanfear into the Ways? Anonymous2000 - 30/09/2023 03:33:27 PM 206 Views
Because there is only one episode to get to Falme where the climax is scheduled *NM* Cannoli - 01/10/2023 04:39:40 AM 122 Views
