JENKINS: Season 2 is built around [Kate Bush's] “This Woman's Work,” and that was very early on. That was a little bit like [Fleetwood Mac's] “The Chain.”
There, you have it.
David Jenkins is going to single handedly destroyed toxic masculinity or whatever. I will fucking perish when this plays.

There really is such a strange vibe to reading Drizzt standalone because the rules, the style, even the attitudes that it references in older books are several decades past. The books were meant to be one part of a greater whole, and while they do stand by themselves fairly well, surprisingly so in some ways, it always makes me wonder if that's part of why it can be frustrating to read now for some people.
There's extra information that's meant to enhance and tie in with the novels because the novels were always tied to other novels, or the gameline itself, as part of a shared universe. Now the novels essentially have to stand by themselves, with no context given for the inexplicable events that the author had to write around because it was the gameline shifting editions, or the fact that it's IP fiction and thus plays by different rules than a completely original creation.
If I wasn't already into DnD lore even by osmosis, or willing to find out about older editions, would I have enjoyed it as thoroughly as I do? I don't know. Kind of an impossible question to answer.

thinking once again about Findekáno's a) subby streak and b) mad scientist husband to produce Findekáno being strapped (shirtless, of course) to a metal table above a death trap while Maitimo gloats and taunts him. Maitimo is very good at it and looks very sexy while he does it. definitely in Findekáno's top ten ideas.

Hm, so the Polar Lords work with The Other? Did we know that before now? I feel like we might’ve, but I haven’t read the post-timeskip stuff enough times to have that one down as firmly.

i’m going to be honest. i don’t think nolan is that good of a director. i think he’s made some very funky fresh fun films (dunkirk, the prestige, inception i guess. sorry interstellar fans i just cannot connect with it) but man his grasp on coherency from shot to shot can be so… clunky
it’s the same way i feel about tarantino… fun movies! very camp! but it’s not that deep! any time i talk about this irl film bros want to beat me to death with hammers so on tumblr it goes

In the newest interview, alvaro said that big chances that professor wouldn't be in the spin off because it's berlin's project and focusing on his new cast or crew. He said this one (Berlin) is separated from LCDP. Does that mean that we wont get Palermo too? 😢 I mean, if the whole 8 eps are just about berlin having fun with strangers he pretends to be friends with, whats the point of watching? The only thing we can hope, maybe the plot would be good, but from the teaser, I too have a doubt about it.
I haven't seen that interview (if those are his exact words, "big chance" is a weird way to phrase it since shooting is done, he's either in it or he's not lol.) Anyway, I wouldn’t take too much away from his words. They are pretty much a rephrasing of what Pina has been saying. They might mean Sergio won't show up at all, or that Sergio will only show up through a cameo, not in as a central way as LCDP. And that makes sense to me either way. I would personally love a cameo but generally regarding Sergio, it makes sense that he wouldn't be present through all his brother's heists and gangs and day to day life (which was already established in canon).
So I wouldn't compare Sergio's situation with Martín. At least on a textual level. Once established that Andrés had met Martín, it would make zero sense that Martín wouldn't be there since we know from canon Martín has been on his side for ten years prior to the monastery flashbacks. And generally speaking, there is not a single character from LCDP that belongs more in Berlin the show than actual lcdp lmfao. Martín's entire construction in canon was in the framework of Berlin.
That's not to say the show won't be about Berlin having fun with strangers for 8 episodes lmfao. That will probably be it. But I'm still in the belief that Palermo will guest-star or cameo in the last episode, as a form of Berlermo's first meeting. And I think if Rodrigo agrees and Netflix grants Pina a second season, he might be a main character going forward. I don't think there is a lot to hope for from the spin-off but I still believe it will be better and more surprising than we imagine now.
