Well...... The season's get better and its all about if you're interested in the show. Not many prople are reacting to Xena, so that's good for the audience that loves it. However, most prople that know of Xena are a bit older. Like me. I would say only continue it if you're loving the show. I love Xena.
My great grandfather Thomas Joseph canny was a lighthorseman at Beersheba in the first world war and he served with Australian 9th light horse regiment in Beersheba and Gallipoli in the first world war
The nun and sleeping with someone. Nuns, monks and priests could marry at that time. The practice of priestly celibacy began to spread in the Western Church in the early Middle Ages. In the early 11th century Pope Benedict VIII responded to the decline in priestly morality by issuing a rule prohibiting the children of priests from inheriting property. A few decades later Pope Gregory VII issued a decree against clerical marriages.
Preists could marry, nuns and monks couldn't. Oaths of chastity and celibacy go back at least to the Rules of St. Augustine, written circa 400CE (so roughly 450-500 years before the Last Kingdom) and any monk or nun would have to swear them in order to enter the monastic order. It's true that celibacy wouldn't be required of priests until the 11th century but it was already well established in monastic orders by this point in time. That's why you don't really see Hild being propositioned by any Christian characters throughout the show-they may be hostile towards her because they think she should be in the nunnery not wandering around with pagans, but it's only pagans who show any sexual interest in her. Especially Uhtred, but as established Uhtred is interested in basically anyone in a skirt.
This is a great show from the amazing sound track to the pace of each episode which always leaves you wanting more and the character develop showing the range of all the actors. Wish it got the attention it deserves.
I am surprised you didn't see that kiss coming at the end of the episode. I have been waiting for that for a while now simply because it was clear that Rhyaenyra was bi from the moment she was younger because of like you said in season 1 how she treated Alicent and how many times she said she just wants to ride away on her dragon with Alicent by her side. Also they both remind me of Dany and Missandi in Game of thrones and I always thought there was more than friendship between them too. Now I think that kiss might have been more for comfort but I do beleive she is attracted as well so it's a bit of both. I am not surprised the younger brother became his rider because he is of the sea like Seasmoke's last rider was and he also kinda looks like him with the long hair and such. I agree though that one that keeps saying he has the blood of the dragon in him will eventually play apart in becoming a rider for Rhaenyra as specially now that she has given the people much needed food.
I enjoyed your reaction. This is one of my favorite movies, about one of my favorite military history topics. You gave the kind of reaction I really enjoy and appreciate: Someone with far less knowledge of military history and technology than I have, yet your reactions are intelligent and perceptive. Thank you. A few details I hope you do not find too trivial: I'm not surprised that the planes taking off appear "dorky" to you. You must have seen footage of modern carriers, with those powerful catapults flinging huge sleek jet aircraft into the air. Of course 1942 technology appears primitive in comparison, because it is. And yes, often the pilots flew through an amazing amount of antiaircraft fire without being hit. Radar guidance for antiaircraft did not appear until near the end of the war, and then only for much larger guns. Also, heavy as it appeared, antiaircraft armament for Japanese carriers was considered much too light at that stage of the war. And as for missing with dive bombing: The target ships were maneuvering as hard as they could. Combine that with all the antiaircraft fire made even those huge carriers a difficult target. And the dive bomber pilots had no electronic aiming aids at all. It was all what they sometimes call "the mark one eyeball". And I have read that doctrine said that dive bombers were to release their bombs at 3,000 feet, so as to safely pull out of their dives. But accuracy was much better if the pilot took the chance of getting much lower before he released his bomb, as shown in the movie. I appreciate the touch that his wing tip kissed the ocean as he pulled up, to dramatize this. Finally, Best breathing caustic soda: The oxygen systems on those planes were "rebreathers". If they just pumped oxygen into the masks to keep the concentration high enough, they would have to carry much larger oxygen tanks. This could add a ton of weight, which a plane that size could ill afford. The "rebreathers" had the pilot's breath pass through a system to remove carbon dioxide, so that the system could add oxygen much more gradually. A much smaller oxygen tank could be used, since much more would be taken up by the pilot before it was expelled. Now the system used sodium hydroxide--caustic soda--also known as lye--to absorb carbon dioxide. However, on Dick Best's plane, on inspection after his incredible flight, it was found that there was an electrical short circuit right next to the container of sodium hydroxide, hot enough to actually vaporize some of it. This is what caused his terrible lung injuries. Anyway, thanks again. I will definitely look for more of your reactions. Jay Maupin
I think a lot of the kinda of mundane repetitiveness of some of the story is intentional to a degree. A large part of the season is characters waiting for their armies to arrive and not actually able to do much. A lot of character conflicts (eg Broome and Rhaenyra) go unresolved for a long period of time because nothing realistically would change each others mind. And then you slowly see how the characters reactions change through these Council scenes. Rhaenyra used to have some patience for her Council. Now she's smacking them around. You can kinda tell now that Alicent is now very disillusioned with her Council. She used to have some power. Now she has none. The Daemon storyline has a repetitive format (Daemon meets someone from his past and each dream tells him something about himself). But I don't necessarily think they all say the same thing. The first one showed how he had hurt Rhaenyra. The second dream showed how he resented Rhaenyra for taking the throne he thought was his. The dream with his mom seemed to be about his ego. And the dreams with Viserys seemed to show how he misunderstood Viesrys' intentions and feelings towards him. Even Laena's presence in that one episode has a purpose reminding him of his duties as a father. I think the point of the dreams is to make Daemon reflect on his relationship with his family and the consequences of his actions.
My Great Grandfather was at the 'Somme' from 1st of July. He was K.I.A. eleven days before the offensive was called off in November 1916. He now sleeps in Flatiron Cemetery near Mametz with his comrades.
slow/set up episodes aren’t the same thing as a filler episode. granted i’m critical of how long daemon has been in harrenhal too, but people have been too critical in the name of impatience. these conversations may not have a lot of action in them, but they’re invaluable for this kind of show.
I have only played Fallout 4, many, many times. There are 4 factions, Minutemen, Railroad, Institute and Brotherhood. I have NEVER played as Brotherhood.
What a shot with Syrax flying out of Dragonstone Cave I think that's Sheepstealer in the Vale? Seemed like lots of dead sheep and sheep noises in the back ground......
The first few seasons of game of thrones were slow burns. Yall must have forgot. Season 8 of game of thrones thrones was full of action. I guess that's what y'all want 😂
"I think it was a stupid mistake on his part. Everyone told him not to go." I don't think we need to memorize this phrase and compare it to the reactions to Black's actions..............
No one was trying to "feed the whole city". They were small gifts under the black flag to remind the townspeople of the peaceful times of Viserys and his "true heiress". Propaganda moment. Rhaenyra wasn't going to end the siege, it was a political move. Please stop pretending that any of the nobles are thinking of the people in this show.
3;30-3:41 Lannister wants Aemond because his army would be dragon feed without Vhagar, if Daemon came to the field with Caraxes at Harrenhall. Daemon had wanted Rhaenys with Meleys to go forth with him, because together they would be a match for Vhagar and could be victorious. Meleys and Caraxes are among the most capable fighting dragons with riders after Vhagar, and both Rhaenys and Daemon are more experienced than Aemond. We saw how much Meleys dominated Sunfyre, and how little chance even fighting side by side Sunfyre and Meleys would have faired against Vhagar. 8:35-8:40 On the matter of "Is Alys Rivers real?" You will have an answer to this, in this very episode. 11:00-11:12 I never caught if it was "three days" or "a few days" but in either case, it sounds like foresight, prophecy, or conspiratorial knowledge. 22:00-22:05 I believe that is the iron worker, (Hugh?) who has a wife and a sick daughter, who was counting on the king advancing the money for the construction of the weapons, not the Targaryen bastard. If I am correct, I can understand why he would take the food from someone else, rather than hope there is something left by the time he gets to the boats. [I will call them boats, a boat can fit in a ship, a ship cannot fit in a boat] As if I am correct, he has a sick daughter and a wife to take care of. 22:53-22:55 As much as we are given reason to dislike Alicent, I have to give her credit for trying to protect Helaena, without regard for her own safety (of course she is Helaena's mother) and I would point to the sharp protrusions/spikes we see on the wall/gate behind Helaena. You may have remarked on this in the full reaction, but 23:22-23:23 Alicent is looking at what appears to be a wound on her arm, which I think is from the aforementioned spikes/sharp protrusions. 24:03-24:10 When an accusation of a member of the household casting malign spells, you went to Alys. Although it is possible for a someone to appear younger than they are, I always have felt Alys wouldn't have been alive when Larys was born, and at this point aren't you still questioning if Alys is real? 24:52-25:34 I, personally, perceived a significant change between this vision for Daemon, and all the others he's had. This vision, he's showing kindness and support, and although late, is being supportive of his brother after the death of his queen. Couple this with the news that is arriving at the time, and the previously mentioned "answer of sorts" about Alys... (It's a confirmation such a person exists, but it doesn't confirm it's the one he's seen. I don't care if the dragon is on a killing spree or not. We know what dragons can do to people. Unless you know it's friendly toward you, probably best to make yourself "not here" when a dragon comes flying in. 26:06-26:09 _THIS_ is how more shows should have someone "randomly fall down in the woods" when being pursued. So many chase sequences (primarily in horror and thriller movies) have a person (usually a woman) tripping for no good reason. Looking back to see the pursuit makes sense, but the "oh I twisted my ankle on _nothing_ " is so overused. At least in this case it was a "look where you're running... Oops you looked back at the wrong time and ran into something you would've easily hopped over if you were not distracted" At least here there's actually something to justify the fall. One thing that Addam (little brother of Alyn) potentially being the rider of Seasmoke proves, is that it doesn't have to be the first generation child of a Targaryen to ride a dragon. While the Targaryen and Velaryon lines have intermingled in the past, Coryls is the only connection between Laenor and Addam. Corlys is Velaryon, his children with Rhaenys would be first born children of a Targaryen, his bastard children are not Rhaenys's, so in theory any Targaryen blood they would have, would come from him. [I will not do a deep dive into any inter-marriages in his history, as I do not want to accidentally spoil anything for myself, assuming the information is out there.] I thought, if they were going to have success with the first attempt with a more distant descendent of a Targaryen, it would be most likely with Seasmoke, since this dragon, until relatively recently in dragon terms, had a rider. Better to try with one who has had a rider before, rather than one that is considered "wild"
The whole Daemon story arc is his redemption arc. His comforting of his brother to come to terms with his screwing up. When it’s done he’ll be a changed man in his loyalty.
in any case I really don't want to see caraxes and vhagar kill each other it would be like seeing Obi-Wan and Anakin fight again it was terrible and sad
Last time for the last time. While unreliable narrator three ways to Sunday. Heavily implied Rhae Rhae was fucking Dae Dae n Mysa when him n Mysaria get back together in Fire and Blood also Heavily implied she, Laena, and Daemon were fkn on each other as well Confirmed Bi
The kiss has nothing to do with being homophobic the problem is she's married not to mention they're making out after talking about being molested by her dad
The thing is if she made out with sur Alfred last episode does anyone think there would have been any fan backlash?? Well yes because it still wouldn't make any sense
Do not call people homophobic if someone may not like that sort of thing. It's an old trope. I personally don't like it but that doesn't mean I hate gay people. It's getting really really annoying. That being said, it is not an attack against you and I also really like your videos. I watched a lot of reactions of yours with game of thrones too. But I have to speak my mind on this.
On behalf of the lgbt community we are very sorry you are annoyed. Thank you for speaking your mind, if not then no one would know this important information
You are quite welcome. On behalf of straight people, I thank you for your very important response to my comment that was not aimed at the LGBTQ community as a whole but just my opinion on a fictional show. Have a great day.
None of this is filler. Like a conversation with Alicent/Gwayne, it does 3 things in one conversation: develops Gwayne's relationship with his sister/dad, Alicent insecurities with her kids, and introducing what type of character Daeron is. It's all conservation of time. It does so many things with 1 scene.
It's not a surprise honestly that rhaenyra kissed with her, there's no friendship when a woman is involved only men have the ability to be friends. With women it's either sexual or it's nothing so the writers went the realistic way which like i said says that women are unable to be just friends.
