one of the reasons I really wish Spike never got his soul back is that his lack of one would’ve preserved his original story arc - which was that you don’t have to have a soul to do decent things. Goodness is hard work, mistakes, and perseverance, for fuck’s sake, Angel’s just Catholic

I love that Elizabeth and Darcy are so ready to effectively tell each other they're full of shit. This happens a bunch of times, but I was re-reading their conversation at the Netherfield Ball and they're both kind of refreshingly Done.
[Darcy:] “Do you talk by rule, then, while you are dancing?”
[Elizabeth:] “Sometimes. One must speak a little, you know. It would look odd to be entirely silent for half an hour together; and yet, for the advantage of some, conversation ought to be so arranged as that they may have the trouble of saying as little as possible.”
[Darcy:] “Are you consulting your own feelings in the present case, or do you imagine that you are gratifying mine?”
“Both,” replied Elizabeth archly; “for I have always seen a great similarity in the turn of our minds. We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all the éclat of a proverb.”
“This is no very striking resemblance of your own character, I am sure,” said he.
It's also pretty funny, because I suspect Darcy is thinking of this sort of thing in a later conversation at Rosings:
“You mean to frighten me, Mr Darcy, by coming in all this state to hear me. But I will not be alarmed, though your sister does play so well. There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me.”
“I shall not say that you are mistaken,” he replied, “because you could not really believe me to entertain any design of alarming you; and I have had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know, that you find great enjoyment in occasionally professing opinions which, in fact, are not your own.”

@hawkogurl I'll write the post(s) eventually but if I were to combine "No Way Home if it was better written" and "how to not blow your Norman Osborn Redemption," the crux of it would be the Missed Opportunity.
Picking up the Raimi villains and putting them in another universe is probably not what I would have done first, but if you're a writer who must redeem these villains by dropping them into the MCU, then you actually DO have fertile ground for a Norman Osborn Redemption of a slightly more realistic and narratively satisfying variety.
Who is Norman Osborn? A wealthy, affluent man who has gone mad with power. Now you've taken him and dropped in a world where he has no name, no money, no home, no company, no family. He has none of the things that give him his power, except his own performance-enhanced body because you take that with you everywhere. Then he is informed that he is going to die, that he has already been dead as a consequence of the destructive path he had put himself on, and he WILL die again if sent back to where he came from. The only way to avoid this fate is if something changes, and changes drastically.
Basically, they had Norman Osborn's Christmas Carol moment set up right there and they didn't use it properly, they went with the whole cure thing instead. They painted Norman more as an unwilling victim of the Goblin, rather than someone who did this to himself and must now choose if he is going to act differently in the face of such a sobering realization. Given how wrapped up he had gotten in being the Goblin, the certainty of his own destruction might have been the one thing that could snap him out of it.

What is your opinion on...Boba returning for s3 Mando?
Boba gets at least two episodes focused on him. The less they have to do with the plot, the better. I want 2+ hours of Boba and Fennec playing cards, Boba bonding with his rancor, Boba dragging Cobb to death for taking his armor, Boba honoring the Tusken tribe, Boba learning how to cook, Boba fixing his armor, Boba anything. Din can be the side character he's always wanted to be.

Hi again! I wanted to ask if you happened to know where in 3Houses we learn about Jeralt's current-day opinions about Garreg Mach and Rhea - some folks and I were able to find his diary in the datamine, but we're not quite sure where to find the scene(s) I've seen mentioned where he apparently started to change his mind once he sees how happy Byleth is at the monastery. Thanks if you're able to help, and have a nice day!
Are you talking about those lines?
Then perhaps it's a good thing we came to the monastery, if only so I could see your face lit up like that.
Or maybe there was never any reason for us to leave the monastery in the first place...
Jerry realises Billy is angry and happy and expresses way more emotions since they came to the Monastery than before, when they were living together.
Sadly the last line, his final thoughts about the Monastery, will never be expanded upon because when we later see the diary, it is a "past" Jeralt writing about how much Rhea BaD - when we know the most recent Jeralt reconsidered, he ran away from her because he was afraid, but ultimately, he was afraid over "nothing" since, despite their heart not beating, his child is alive and not as "not normal*" as he first thought.
Aka, Rhea was right, Byleth was alright, but he didn't believe her back then and realises it was a stupid move.
Maybe he and Rhea finally made up before he died, and there was no animosity left between them?
*We never hear in this game anyone wondering what is "normal" or "not normal" - to humans a baby without a beating heart is "not normal", but a Blaiddyd man crushing a skull with his hand is. And let's not wonder if all Nabateans or Nabatean hybrids, or "Nabatean Homonculi" have heartbeats, because that's something the devs give no fucks about, because they do not care about their own world.

ELSPETH COUSLAND, WARDEN COMMANDER OF THE GREY
There is no Ferelden son or daughter alive who does not know the name Elspeth Cousland. Though still walking amongst us in the world today, feat after impossible feat has elevated the Warden Commander's name to the heights of near myth. Like the Dwarven Paragons, Ser Aveline the chevalier, Dane and the werewolves and beloved heroes of old, the Highever woman known simply as Ella to her friends is regaled by taverkeep and teryn alike for her legendary exploits during the Fifth Blight. [template]
[Except from ‘Faces of the Dragon: Figures of Fame and Notoriety Throughout the Dragon Age’ by Brother Genitivi]
