THE SET UP // THE SHOT 2.08 The Rings Of Power "Shadow And Flame" (x)

If you like science fiction

Please consider watching The Expanse. Just… trust me on this.

complex and relatable characters 

A+ worldbuilding

no cliché good vs. evil setup, just humans with different agendas and varying shades of morality

VERY diverse cast

relevant commentary to many social/environmental/etc. issues of our time (but not in a preachy way)

scientifically accurate as fuck (mostly)

no silly looking aliens (of course this is a drawback if you like those)

visually gorgeous

awesomest spaceships ever (I may be a little biased tho)

based on a book series so the show writers know where the fuck they’re going with the plot (and believe me there’s some mindblowing stuff coming up)

Shohreh Aghdashloo as the Deputy Undersecretary of the United Nations Chrisjen Avasarala is a fucking delight

You can watch the first two seasons on Amazon Prime (US), CraveTV (Canada), and Netflix (rest of the world).

Season 3 is currently airing on Syfy (US) and Space (Canada).

I know some of you may have second thoughts because Syfy has a reputation of making garbage but honestly this is a really fucking excellent show and 100% worth your time.

Durin will come.

Some Alien and Prometheus gifs

Sauron all along!

“What, what, what, WHAT!?” the actress recalls thinking. “Because it comes out of fucking nowhere. I’m flabbergasted. Absolutely never saw that coming. I cried,” Clarke says. “And I went for a walk. I walked out of the house and took my keys and phone and walked back with blisters on my feet. I didn’t come back for five hours. I’m like, ‘How am I going to do this??’

THAT tells you all you need to know about Daenerys. It was NOT foreshadowed. It was NOT in her character to do what she did. D&D are trying to cover their tracks but Emilia Clarke is not having it!

Transcript of a video of Grete Thunberg:

“This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back in school, on the other side of the ocean. Yet, you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you?

You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, yet I am one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth.

How dare you?”
