Sounds increasingly like the Drivers should be going on strike

It always felt like they wanted to sell motorsport to the Saudis for that lovely oil money, so he was hand picked to enable that. Sure, there was an election but pretty much the same way Putin has elections, or the Olympic committee has elections.

Lore is complicated as if you aren't familiar with the letters, silmarillion and appendices to an insane degree, some things that look right are wrong, and some things that look wrong are actually right depending on what you count in cannon.

I think this sums it up for me as the only bits actuallyin the lore:

The existence of characters named Galadriel, Elrond, Durin, Sauron, Isildur, Elendil, Celebrimbor, some of the others

• The existence of Numenor and Middle-Earth and some of the places in it

• The existence of rings of power

The armour just highlights what I mean with its lazy approach to just about everything.

They already have enough clout to be put in charge of a decent budget tv show, so their idea must have sucked something terrible if they can't get it made without slapping a license onto it

Just make the damn thing you paid to make not your shitty show you can't get anybody else to buy.

"I'm commander shepard, and halo is my favourite tv show on the citadel."

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if that turned out to be the case.

Rings of Power.

I am going to caveat this with I know it has some fans, and if you enjoy this series more power to you, but I fucking hate it and that's also fine.

I think it just twists the lore while being badly written regardless of source material, and often looking incredibly low rent despite having a stupidly high budget, while the cast is patchy, its like they saw the Hobbit films and decided that was moving in the right direction while LotR got it totally wrong. I think its sheer stubbornness that's keeping this show running despite its return on views vs. budget at this point.

Halo.

Its completely out of character for Master Chief to face reveal and had a sex scene, neither is the worst thing with this show either. I get that actors do not like non face roles, see Pedro with Mandalorian, but it should be deal breaker for casting for such roles.

It was very clear that they had no respect for the source material and just wanted to make their own show but this was the only way it was getting funded. Then to double down and insult the fan base was just beyond dumb.

I viewed the TV show like a YA drama and it came across a lot better because of it.

I think if the fixtures were reversed and Arsenal were at home for the second leg, or anybody else still in the quarters then yeah completely agree with you. But this will be Real at home in a big game, if anybody can turn it around at home they can. They can also lose 3 0 at home as well, as they just do not have a good defense.

Its always a brand new system with a massive scope as well so that it costs an arm and two legs, and is so over complicated it never gets finished.

Meanwhile we already have a universal voluntary ID system that half of all adults already own and the department that is responsible for it, does it on a small profit.

If its just about ID then get the DVLA to start issuing non driving licenses in a different colour and speed up their digital role out.

2.4 miles per kwh is awful, just stupidly low efficiency for what is bring used as a recreational vehicle. Anything under 3 is hard work on long road trips.

Can't help but feel PSG are overhyped due to one good match against Liverpool. Sure, they are a good team, but they aren't best in Europe yet.

On their way to the quarters, they lost a few matches to teams best in Europe that they shouldn't be losing to and didn't automatically qualify. They have gotten better as the season gone on but they are another season away from developing that killer instinct right at the very top.

PSG are the clear favourites in the match against Villa but not runaway favourites as with Barca vs. Dortmund.

I can't see Arsenal getting anything but thumped by Real over the two legs, but there should be lots of goals at both ends as Real just don't seem to prioritise defending.

I think Inter are favourites against Bayern due to Bayerns injuries to key players. Lowest scoring tie, probably.
