Mrs. Ginger
Not really a point to this. I’m just still struck by seeing one of the most attractive women I have ever seen arrive at my friend’s mother’s house for a family and friends party on Sunday. The occasion...
View ArticleAges In Melody
I was thinking. I know, sounds dangerous. Unless I am mistaken, we are never given a definite age for the kids in the movie. Right? There are now two references that come at the possible ages...
View ArticleFree Range Kids
It annoys me that there has to be an expression to describe “free range children.” Back in the olden days, we simply called them children. Yes, not a Melody post! But that inspired it, because it’s...
View ArticleSequel
I was thinking never mind a remake. A sequel could have been interesting. It could have answered some questions that will be left forever up in the air about what happened after, or it could have...
View ArticleTime for a Reread?
Someone on the Wheel of Time group on Facebook posted a question about the consequences of something that happened near the end. I didn’t remember that thing happening. That might mean it’s time for a...
View ArticleMore Concerts
I mentioned previously my first and most recent concerts, and said I’d fill in more later. It’s later. I’m afraid I don’t remember the order of the concerts after the Bee Gees and before Styx with Pat...
View ArticleI’ll Have a Screenplay Yet!
I’m laughing at my title, but anything is possible. Even as I was bemoaning the difficulty of forcing yourself to do work that requires creativity, while I was at it, I added major components to the...
View ArticleAt Least I Can Watch Game of Thrones
Somewhere along the way, Comcast talked the wife into adding TV and we got a lower bill for internet service that way. It’s pretty much basic plus HBO. Unlike The Orville now that Disney owns it and...
View ArticleA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (Spoilers)
Wow! We knew Martin had been a fan of Wheel of Time, and friendly with Jordan, but somehow I never pictured it quite as starkly as Bran being the Dragon Reborn and the Night King being the Dark One....
View ArticleEndgame of Thrones
Given the wordplay possible with Endgame and Game of Thrones, and the cultural event that is this weekend in both regards, my overactive imagination can’t help going all Number of the Beast via the...
View ArticleGame of Thrones 70 (Likely Spoilers)
At least, idle commentary that might allow you to extrapolate enough to constitute spoilers. First, I actually went back to HBO Go to see what the episode title was and am astounded that it is listed...
View ArticleThe Long Night Rewatch (Spoilers!)
It’s been almost a week, so I will be freer with details than I was when I watched it the first time. The episode was chaotic and dense enough that I opted to watch it again this morning before...
View ArticleTimeline Elasticity
If any of you follow all my babbling here, you know I think about alternate history scenarios, and alternate timelines to ours based on points where events large or small departed. One of my fiction...
View ArticleStill Confused, Apparently
I keep thinking of the kids in Melody as being in 5th grade, in US terms. In looking at stats, I ended up reading my own post on ages in Melody and found that I had concluded that they were equivalent...
View ArticleA Dream of Spring? (Spoilers!)
I can’t sleep, so I thought I’d post about the Game of Thrones finale while waiting for my alarms to go off to wake me for work. Normally I don’t work Mondays, but agreed to do an extra day. I am...
View ArticleThe Wheel of Time (Spoilers)
The show. The idea of it is scary. On the plus side, we at least know how the books ended, and will know every detail of how it differs as it’s boiled down to essentials for television. There’s a lot...
View ArticleThe Iron Throne
I don’t really have much new to say about the Game of Thrones finale, but I at least wanted to post using the correct episode name. Since it doesn’t show the name initially, I guessed that the episode...
View ArticleStarring Gandalf?
The news is that Rosamund Pike has been cast as Moiraine for the Wheel of Time series. First casting decision and apparently touted as the star, also with producer credit. She looks close enough to the...
View ArticleWoT Casting
I didn’t go look up the details, but I saw a little bit about some additional casting for the Wheel of Time series. Not sure how I feel about it. I know you don’t have to follow the books exactly, but…...
View ArticleCasting Again
This has implicit spoilers, if you have never read The Wheel of Time series. The casting has grown on me, especially Rand and Mat after seeing more of the actors. Rand looks a lot like the Michael...
