That's... right on my birthday. Guess I have to watch it.

The first 3 episodes are understandably a bit difficult to get through as a first-time viewer. Even I'll admit that I stopped watching after the 2nd episode because it just didn't seem interesting.

However, 4th episode is where itstarts picking up. You get to see more of Stede's backstory, Blackbeard's introduction, and see how both of their crew members interact with each other.

I'm interested to see how HBO markets this show now that the secret's out. Because the early trailers for this show had a totally different vibe IMO

Either they play it straight (lol) and advertise it the same way. Or they emphasize the romance and drama to get the OFMD fandom buzzing on Twitter.

There's a small dog park not too far from our house. Not sure how long this has been going on but it's slowly becoming a place for abandoned dogs. And this park is sandwiched between a fire station and apartments and homes.

While it sucks that the people leaving their dogs aren't caught in the act, there are nice people who put out notices about the lost dog or take the dog themselves to the animal shelter (after no one claims the dog) on the Next Door app. As far as I know, there's never been a case where the lost dog is stuck in that park for too long.

Still, it's really sad that people are quietly abandoning their dogs here at this particular park.

It was a big shock to me as well. I just assumed Ego picked her up from somewhere and kept her as a prisoner. Never crossed my mind that there's a possibility that she's also his child.

I agree with Batista, I preferred Drax in the first GOTG. However, I won't deny how much I laughed at his silly comments.

Man, I was genuinely excited for him but his character was so poorly written in the movie.

After seeing how Lord & Miller were replaced by Ron Howard for "Solo" and Patty Jenkins' "Rogue Squadron" movie being pulled from Disney's release schedule, I wouldn't be surprised if Taika's Star Wars project gets pulled or he drops out from it either.

Taika's currently in New Zealand working on both "Time Bandits" for Apple+ and S2 of "Our Flag Means Death" for HBO Max.

Dude's busy af.
