Was there ever a reason given for the recasting of Milly Alcock for Emma D'Arcy as the Targaryan Princess?
I heard there was a time skip at some point in the show so I expected multiple characters to be recast with older actors, but apparently the Princess was the only one that was recast.

Alicent as well. The adult version is played by Olivia Cooke.

Guess she was less obvious.
Still don't see a reason why only them were recast to communicate there was a time skip. The birthing scene in the opening was good enough means to display some time had passed.
Milly Alcock owned that role.

Warrior season 3 kicked off this week - off to a good start! It’s on MAX (formerly HBOMAX). It’s about the power struggle between tongs in San Francisco Chinatown and labor conflicts over the workforce (set in late 19th century). A lot of fun martial arts scenes. It’s produced by Bruce Lee’s daughter.
Hope this sells some of you on it, it’s a really fun show.

S2/E7 - Forks, of the Bear, is the best single episode of television I've seen this year. Got damn. Excellent.
That said, I hated the season finale.
There were so many small things in that episode that you could easily miss, like how Will Poulter's character mentioning to Marcus while they were working on the dough in an earlier episode that the guy who was better than him turned out to be Carmine when you see the photo of the two together on the wall; or Richie waking up every morning one minute earlier, demonstrating his growth through discipline.
That said, I hated the season finale.

I didn’t think anyone else was watching this. I opened a thread and no replies at all. lol!
i enjoyed the season and thought it was great. Yeah that ending though. Bittersweet for sure. I loved Richie’s character evolving. Dude has a purpose now and finally it seems, finding happiness in his self worth.

I think S1 is far superior. I'm still putting my thoughts in spoilers as it's been out less than a week:
My two favorite episodes of the season were the most understated, comparatively speaking, with Marcus traveling to train and Richie's development into more than a shit head, finding purpose. It all culiminated in that final episode, where the character development paid off, demonstrating beforehand how they would be able save Carmy's ass.
I thought everything about Claire was the worst part of the season, Carmy conveniently unraveling in the freezer with her on the other side. It felt clichéd and let the season end on a sour note.
I will add, most of my friends who I've spoken with about the season enjoyed the family episode, so I may be an outlier here, but I absolutely hated it. It didn't resonate with me. I had a much crazier family as a kid who attended large gatherings, and it wasn't that frenetic.

Episode 7 was great, but I wouldn’t watch it again. So depressing and the best parts were the Easter eggs that the viewer can pick up on for other episodes. Although Bob Odenkirk was great as usual. Episode was nothing but chaos!

The acting in the episode was exceptional. I didn't care for how it was written. It felt off to me. Those cameos were something else.

Finished S1 of Silo, strong finish.
This is the most intriguing show since Severance and Andor, though no where near as good as those pacing wise. All three are slow burns, but Silo sticks around for a couple of episodes too long. However, I was on the edge of my seat for the season final.
I feel this would be better as a film trilogy, if this season covered only book 1. It's based on 3 novels, which I just picked up. There's no way I'm waiting for this to wrap up, as who knows how long the writer's and potential actor's strikes will last.
The casting is excellent, though Rebecca Fergusson's American accent is terrible. When she says the name George, which she does endlessly, it sounds like she has a speech impediment. She's a good actress, but she's always doing something extra on screen with her face/body in every scene, it's a bit distracting.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the world building and attention to detail on their sets, pulls you right in. The CGI blends in very well, only complimenting the physical sets, as CGI in a live action show/film should.
I highly recommend this, especially if you're a fan of Fallout, or post apocalyptic settings.

Was wondering what game I should play next, and thought I've been meaning to do a 2nd playtgough of Witcher 3 on New Gane+.
Then it hit me
Witcher Season 3 has been out for 3 days and I've heard fuck all about it.
Absolutely nothing.
Not even negative reviews or videos mocking them.
Complete apathy towards its release.
The last series that everyone was talking out after Season 1 was released, and everyone couldn't care less about it by the premiere of the 3rd season... was Westworld.

I have to agree. I really liked the first season. Could have been one and done and I would have been satisfied. Also agree about the season 2 finale. What a shame. Could have been so much better.

Initially, I thought it might have only been a one and done. The first season was excellent. I enjoyed it immensely. When it ended, I wanted more, but that meant it did it's job. Every single episode worked whether it was frantic chaos or slow burn.
S2 was good. It had many memorable moments, great performances and one of the best episodes of TV I have seen all year. Still, it mostly felt undercooked and at times, contrived and cliché. Don't get me wrong, when S3 drops, I'm going to watch it. I just hope it's better than S2.

In context though, the finale makes sense. It seems that for the Berzattos, they just don’t get happy endings. It’s more because of their personal demons, but Carmie just did what his family does (Nat is the exception) and managed to spoil the night.
Over the course of the show, it’s gonna be the theme for Carmie to break the family mold and find happiness. He’s made a little headway, but he’s not there yet, even with his success.
