When I hear the GoT theme, my mind usually goes to this. It was a fine melding of two worlds :

I know there really isnā€™t a lot of wiggle room when it comes to changing or re-writing what GRR wrote or Westerosā€™s patriarchy. I hate the idea that two women are pitted against eachother. I think Rheanyra would be a kind Queen, but Alicent is a wise Queen and itā€™s a shame itā€™s all about who ā€œshould be King.ā€

I was really rooting for Jace and Heleana and the joining of their houses. A strong Targaryen family, where the Hightowers were for the people and reform. But Alas.

Same - I get why in universe it didnā€™t happen because it would kinda end the show there + it was a show only plot device (?) but even in the show I felt like I understood Alicent. Like I WANTED HER SO BADLY TO SNAP OUT OF IT and see the big picture, but I also have been in my feelings before where I feel such a way towards a person and like I canā€™t see past that, where even them trying to be nice feels insulting, it felt very real her reaction in that sense to me even if I wanted that to happen, because I think it would have solved all fears of Rhaenyra ever harming her children (though some people make the case that Daemon wouldnā€™t be pro Rhaenyras first 3 kids if his own two daughters werenā€™t betrothed to them which creates a whole new fear idea if Daemon would remove Helaena from the equation).

I think show Alicent having the final piece be her true belief that Viserys was conveying intent of Aegon to rule would still come into play though.

But yeah a Jace / Helaena match where both sides supported each other is another tragedy imo.

Also lol the Simpsons I forgot about them though Disney + is always having them pop up on things to watch lol or stuff they have that is new

Eh humility is good for me, my entire natal chart is stroking my ego telling me I am going to make a lot of money and Iā€™m super intellegent and creative, and a good wife, and a good mother. I can afford to have a few negative aspects or struggles.

I donā€™t think Daemon would hurt a child. Yeah he stands up to Aemond but thatā€™s after what happens next episode.

This show did Daemon dirty making him an emotionally absent parent to his girls. I saw stills from the show they cut which shows him as a loving father. They just wanted to keep playing the bad boy angle.

Heā€™s behind blood and cheese so I kinda donā€™t agree there.

Is he gasp

Oh well then I take that back. Iā€™ve never been a Daemon stan so Iā€™m glad iā€™m not backing that horse.

I mean it happens as direct response to Lucerys but their beef is with Aemond not a 6 year old child who has nothing to do with anything :sob:

Yeah the babies should be left alone. Itā€™s one thing for adults to fight. Itā€™s another thing when adults start killing kids.

Lucerys doesnā€™t deserve what happens but I understand why Aemond is vindictive.

I still say that the Chosen One Prophecy demands the Sith make a grand return so that Anakinā€™s Force Ghost can destroy them permanently bringing Ultimate Balance to the Force!

Preferably this be done after the Dark Side Entity from outside the Unknown Regions makes itā€™s presence known so that the Sithā€™s extinction allows the Jedi to focus their full effort to balancing out this Dark Side threat!

As for how I would want the Sith to make their grand return: Iā€™m partial to having Jedi Characters suggest Palpatine will return with his claim to be all the Sith to mean that he is infact Darth Bane.

After that scene sure enough Darth Bane rises from his tomb and reveals himself as the true identity of Darth Sidious before he finds Moraband invaded by a Sith Empire brought over by Grand Admiral Sloan(from the Aftermath Novels).

He will duel and lose to Sith Emperor Vowrawn and Sith Empress Acina and be forced to retreat only to get ambushed and have his Body destroyed and his Soul devoured by a disguised Sith Emperor Vitiate(disguised as a Kaminoan explaining why the Race knows the Sith technique of Cloning) who will use the power he got from consuming Darth Bane(which includes the power that Bane got from the Dyad) to restore all of his previous Bodies to full existence!

Sith Emperor Vowrawn and Sith Empress Acina will order Darth Malgus to pose as Palpatine(I.E. reference the False Emperor stint that Malgus pulled in Legends) in order to hide the Sith Empireā€™s true presence from the Galaxy.

I would also have it revealed that Darth Plagueis was Darth Baneā€™s Master and his idea of cheating Death was to rewrite the Timeline.

Furthermore it would be revealed that his Muun Persona was a Rako Hardeen-style body altering injection and that he was infact the Son of Mortis and that he in exchange for giving the Sith access to his domain over the Selfish Side of the Force would be given access to Vitiateā€™s Time Gates as well as the Dark Side of the Force.

That way Star Wars the Sith Saga Episode 1 would reconcile the Chosen One Prophecy with Rise of Skywalker having Rey kill Palpatine as well as reconcile the Son of Mortis embodying the Selfish Side of the Force & being drawn upon by the Sith while also needing to choose the Dark Side suggesting he isnā€™t the Dark Side.

Having the Son of Mortis we see be one created via the originalā€™s abuse of the World Between Worlds while said original became Darth Plagueis whose constant use of the World Between Worlds allowed him to sacrifice his Past Selves constant times would be hilarious irony especially when he discovers that version of him left behind on Mortis cost him his immortality and his Father.

Bonus points if Vitiate himself reveals this during a duel making the Duel a personal matter since Vitiate would have tricked Plagueis into bringing about his own weakness and his beloved Fatherā€™s demise for the sake of sharing power with the Sith.

Plagueisā€™s final demise would lead to Vitiate becoming even more powerful.

On to Dark Side Factions that would exist after going extinct: I would like to reconcile Andy Serkisā€™s statements on Snoke(how he is a couple Hundred Years old has seen the fall of both the Republic and Galactic Empire and has more resources than Vader & Sidious combined) with the Rise of Skywalker Film(which reveals Sidious created Snoke) as well as Snokeā€™s own claims of creating the Dyad in Rey & Kylo Ren in The Last Jedi: by having Snoke actually being puppeted via a microchip by a Crime Lord with more resources than Sidious and Vader combined!

Now as to which Crime Lord: Iā€™m partial to Zorba the Hutt(Jabbaā€™s bearded father who is as old as the Republic when it arose from the ashes of the Old Republic) since he is the only major Ancient Crime Lord still alive in Canon old enough to be the consciousness behind Snoke!

I want all statements and Lore to be reconciled no matter the cost!

Only reconcilement can stabilize the Lore of Star Wars Canon! The Writers must be taught this!

Very much this.

I also understand how what happens happens, war is brewing, and he was on arguably a dangerous mission it really really is sad he was the first blood of the war basically. And also Aemond isnā€™t the one to openly mock and have beef with so I can imagine when he gets there he literally has a major oh crap moment.

But at the end of the day their beef is with Aemond over that situation.

What happens to Helaena and her kids next as retaliation is just not fathomable to me.

No Darth Marr reference ):

Acina?

Man, maybe itā€™s my Imperial Agent main speaking or maybe itā€™s just that I havenā€™t caught up with the story, but Darth Jadus was better than the entire original council and their followers and I will arm wrestle anyone for that.

Why Jadus

Summary

I couldnā€™t let him harm Imperial citizens

Gasp! We need a Darth Marr appearance! We also need a Darth Jadus appearance!

We need a G0-T0 appearance as well!

We also need Darth Traya to appear not as a Sith but as a Nightsister thus providing us with a Good Dark Sider besides Merrin!

Also should have Darth Nihilus appear as a Nightbrother and an example of why the Nightsisters do not train Nightbrothers in the Dark Side! I would pull off the reveal that his Mask(which basically holds his consciousness) is inside R2-D2 just to reference them both using untranslated gibberish!

HK-47 would appear in Prequel TV Shows as a source of comedy when being used to preform elaborate assassinations of key political figures.

On to the final source of reference material I.E. the most dreaded place(AKA the Post-Return of the Jedi Era outside of the Thrawn Stories): Kadann really should be combined with Darth Millennial and Emperor Trioculus as well as Gulā€™dan while also being the Dark Side presence in the Aftermath Novels that was calling to Sidious from the Unknown Regions.

Bonus points if Zorba finds him first due to converting a couple of Snokes to raw ingestible Dark Side Power via Nightsister rituals(just like Mother Talzin was attempting to do to that princess that Jar Jar saved) making him strong enough for the source of the Dark Side to see him as worth recruiting in his crusade to purge the Dark Side of the cancer that is the Sith!

Having Kadann be an immortal indestructible(as would be proven by his corpse disappearing with his laughter after someone turns their head) 3-eyed Gulā€™dan and the ultimate representation of Darkness to counter Morai the ultimate representation of Light would be interesting to say the least since the Bendu would be the ultimate representation of the Balance.

He still gets away!

He was ready for your shenanigans.

Iā€™ve done both angles, but I really like the agent story and I have a few. Good times.

Thatā€™s like me w my inquisitors.

I remade my main sorc a while back and still havenā€™t finished leveling him to get him to where my now benched (I changed his name and not playing him) sorc is lol. Some day I guess.

The ability to add a second class was nice I suppose, I wish I could do that in WoW my Paladin here would become a priest in a heart beat I think

Hah, my husbot has an inquisitor who is kind of stuck in my mind as the True Sassy Prince which he leveled with my laconic bounty hunter before the great exp nerf, so while Iā€™ve a few inquisitors, I never really bonded with them.

Definitely a Darth Oculus, though, given my preference.

I do have a new Jedi Knight created to do the whole story because Iā€™m rusty on a few bits of itā€¦

Any thoughts on the Bayonetta 3 controversy?

The Actress refused the role because she was not given a big enough offer and the Company went and hired someone who is known to be more expensive to hire than she was suggesting they only pay high Money if they think the Actor/Actress is worth the Money from the look of things.

Suggests they pay a lot of Money to famous Actors/Actresses from the looks of itā€¦ And pay an insulting amount to less famous onesā€¦

Fame gets you anywhere it seemsā€¦ So does sheer audacityā€¦
