She is not guilty, I can clearly see that.
I got into Game of Thrones early on and didn’t want to wait to find out what comes next. Got all the books and discovered, “They are nothing but slick versions 1960’s soap operas. i.e. they string you along.” A lot going on and yet, basically, nothing.
The made for TV versions are cinematically very engaging but, it turns out that the book is NOT any better.
The 100 - story of ‘powerful’ AND super smart women, aka FEMALE fantasy Scifi:
Women able to kill large strong men twice their size consistently, pushing fagotry, able to lead nations, while psychologically weak and stupid men cower doing the women’s bidding and stupid things for stupid reasons. A story where people suffer grievous wounds which often have no apparent effect other than a little blood, while tramatic injuries often are miraculously not fatal. Scenes filmed with as little light as possible. Blood, lots and lots of blood everywhere.
Just to prove how stupid this show is: there are vehicles with fixed belt-fed miniguns on the hood which are never fired no matter how dire the situation; not to mention injecting themselves with black blood, but managing to keep their rose pink skin.
Show includes female decorated Navy SEAL in keeping with the fantasy.
It is utterly ridiculous.
I like it.
Agree on BG: well done, but haphazard.
