  • TBH if the same story had been told at the same pace as the first few seasons (and had actual consequences for dumb decisions), it could have worked.

    I forced myself to rewatch it recently since someone at home wanted to and it certainly was a let down, but mostly because of how it was clearly rushed and turned into a Hollywood blockbuster. E.g. people charging into an army and surviving every time, which I know he was strongly against.

    It felt like the broader strokes were there, but the show runners had no imagination of their own to make it flow properly, and might have kept more characters alive than needed to avoid upsetting fans instead of telling the story as it was meant to be told.




  • I find that a lot of the forums that I used to visit closed down when everyone started using facebook, reddit, deviant art, digg, etc.

    Nowadays most of the personally hosted websites tend to be either: resume / portfolio site or a developer/tech guy that wants to bring the feeling of a community from the early 2000s back and has a forum (and has the know how).

    For a time I also checked out some creators slack/discord channels, but the vibe didn’t feel right (and apparently are unsearchable).

    I would say its very different now.
