Thoughts on House of the Dragon S01E05

1. Ang drama queen ni Criston Cole. Duuuude, the gay lover of Laenor Velaryon is super happy with his secret boyfriend status, tapos ikaw, you're whining and all. Youre not sweet and romantic, you are selfish because you want Rhaenyra to abandon her birthright just to appease your guilt. 2. Grabe chemistry ni Rhaenyra with all her past and future lovers, even with her betrothed na gagawin lang siya na beard. Milly Alcock is a great actress. 3. Look at Laena Velaryon, all grown up and sophisticated. Ito 'yung sinayang mo, Viserys. LOL. 4. There are only two peaceful weddings in Westeros:      a.) Robb Stark and Talisa Maegyr's wedding (show canon); and     b.) Tyrion Lannister and Sansa Stark's wedding.

Dune (2021)

 Saw Dune on the Netflix catalog and finally watched it. Beautiful imagery and immersive world-building. The film is 2 hours and 35 minutes long pero sobrang bitin when it ended. This is how films based on books are supposed to be--you will enjoy and understand the story and lore, but you know you will be even more amazed if you read the books because the religion, politics, technology, and characters have so much more to offer. I used to play Dune 2000 when I was a kid, and I enjoyed seeing the vehicles and buildings (the ornithopter, harverster, carrier, and silos) from the game. I've read the first several chapters of Frank Herbert's Dune, and this film just made me promise to myself that I will finish reading the book.
