    I got 20-24, but about 2-4 of those was because I remembered the names from when I was a pharmacy tech or from tv commercials. I don't think most of those drugs even existed when I was a pharmacy tech, but I could be wrong. :D

    WHOA!!! This looks really really really really really good!!! S2 teaser trailer feels like they've ramped up the darkness and action. Can't wait. August 29th.

    Pretty funny, though, that everyone in the comments on that video are destroying it.

    yeah...but the first season trailers looked awesome, too... then, only a few episodes in, it was clear that it was crap. Great cgi... and that's about it.
    I *might* give S02 a try... but I'm not optimistic.

    There's a good line in that video:
    "The animosity of a passionate fan base is an easy thing to gain, but very very difficult to lose."

    Wouldn't be so difficult to lose if the studios weren't so stubborn in making content to appease everyone other than the people who actually care about the content they are creating.

    Sounds like a good watch when you’re sick and have a high fever.

    Ya know.... it's not like I have to pay any extra money to watch it. I have an Amazon Prime account, so watching it only takes some time...

    ....but it's had such bad story, bad development, bad characters, bad pacing, and bad casting that it's just tremendously unpleasant to watch.

    As an absolute LOTR fanatic, I could not stand the writing. I made it through about half of episode one. Truly my least favorite show ever made. Zero Tolkien to be found here.

    Cannot be worse than season 1, but definitely not invested in this, at all. Wheel of Time season 2 was better on all fronts, save how “pretty” the world looks. And that should not be possible given budget, production and established lore and world building.
