It will be a long wait, but at least they'll be airing the Dunk & Egg series some time in the next year. Very different story, but still in the Game of Thrones universe. I will be reacting to that whenever it comes out.

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. I've been trying out filtering out my surroundings and having the whole screen behind me an image from whatever show I'm watching, thinking I'd rather see that. I feel a little awkward showing a lot of myself, even though I see other reactors do that. I think I started doing the half screen thing after I saw another person do it, I tried it at a hotel and found it an easier setup then what I had been doing.

What really threw me off with that whole dragon pit scenario is that they weren't even supposed to be in Kings Landing. I don't mind some of the changes that are plausible, because of the "varied stories and perspectives" in the book. I don't care for big changes that were very unlikely given the little the book says.

OMG! I just realized how messed up this was. I'm not sure how I ended up posting this without realizing it's not edited or anything. I need to check my previous recordings and see if I can find the edited video.

Okay, my 2nd reply. I found both the cut and uncut videos and I had them labeled wrong. I'm going to see if I can switch the loaded video on this. If not, maybe I should post another with the correct video.

From my perspective, based on the books, and a little on the show. Rhaenys was next in line after Jaehaerys two qualifying sons had died with no male heirs. His wife wanted him to make Rhaenys his heir as she was the oldest (grandchild I think, and child to the oldest of Jaehaerys offspring). The meisters strongly discouraged adding a female as heir, yet there was nothing in Targaryen history that prohibited females from ruling. This was suggested as being an issue with Westerose tradition, yet there were multiple female rulers in Westerose, before and after Aegon the 1st had conquered those lands. Jaehaerys called the counsel, the first and only of its kind, because he did not want to make the decision himself (for a variety of reasons). At the time Rhaenys was either pregnant or had very young twins, depending if you go by book or tv series. Either way, given the rare choice to decide themselves, leaders were not going to support a pregnant female or a baby, when they knew their king may not live much longer. All of this is explained in the book, but people talk of it as if that counsel (which was a giant popularity contest) was the be all and end all of passing down inheritance of the throne in Westerose.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah, the "don't ask don't tell" laws were an issue when I was in the military in the 90's. Some of my friends and coworkers had to cover that up just to serve. If someone wanted to be a jerk they could have ratted them out and had them chaptered out of the Army. We even had one guy claim he was gay so he could get out. Now Florida pulling this "don't say gay" mess, it just feels like we're going backwards. All so some people can score political points, legislating people back in the closet.

Both my kids have, but I haven't.

Is the Beyond Birthday character in the manga?

This ballance of trust and mistrust is having massive effects on many of the characters, both main characters and side characters.

I wasn't sure if they were fake cards or if maybe they were some random info that wasn't from Light, but I knew they didn't belong.

Yes, that got him so upset!

I wonder if L could try some other similar setup that Light wouldn't suspect, to draw him out. Like to kill some other person that only Light would know about.

In fact I am 15 episodes in and L still hasn't figured out the Death Note.

I think the ease Light decided to start killing non criminals, was what really drug me further against him.

Yeah, he takes a while to figure out how it works. Especially when he first tries it out.

Thank you very much. The Crown was quite a good show.

Maybe they have multiple school colors. Don't know how all of them are in grey, unless it's certain days or something.

Oh yes, sneaking into her room would be very inappropriate. I just felt like his dad would be even more concerned if he thought his kid was going after young kids.

It will have to be a while. I am going to be out of state for almost a month. Plus, I have plans for a couple other tv shows later on.

​@venusbrownreacts no rush. They're definitely worth watching, even if it's just for yourself and not a reaction

I had to look this up to see what it's referencing. Neil's girl, looks like I'll see more about her if I watch the movies.

It was great fun watching that dream, just cracked me up.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Okay, so I'm not sure all universities are this way here, but I know some freshman get assigned 2 person rooms in a dorm. Not really what they want, just the arrangements for that school. After freshman year you might be able to get arrangements with a sorority, otherwise either rent a house or apartment. Many of the apartments near the college are like I described (at least near where I live) common areas, plus individual rooms for each student.

Yeah, I think watching a lot of the inside the episodes they talk about how much they changed from the book and shifted the story, characters, a bunch of stuff a lot. One of them says they hope it will encourage more people to read the books. I will probably try to find the series on Audible first, it's just easier for me to listen to the audio versions, but I'm definitely interested. I was actually worried that it my be too far over my head, when I started the series, but it's definitely made at more a laymen's level.

@@venusbrownreacts I would check on booktubers what they say about the audible. This is translated by Ken Liu for you. (I read a lot in English but a translation? I read it in my native language.) And I didn’t hear anyone yet who used Audible here. Told you: this is science heavy and not character focused at all. And not female character focused totally. A lot said it’s not writing good female characters hence the censorship. Actually it does but they are Chinese characters. The female characters are not big mouth “I’m the boss” types but silent one. Surprise: not the western culture is the center of the world and this is Asian. But it doesn’t matter at all. It’s not about some heroes. The characters should represent their decisions or the state of humanity in the given situation/century etc…. Because now the time will go fast…. As for changing things… of course they had to, different media formats. But then again: good examples are One Piece (the story itself is changed on some bases but in a way that the moral lesson etc are the same) and the mentioned Sandman. It’s considered faithful adaptation no matter Neil Gaiman’s changes, and that includes skin color, gender change too. ☝️If you didn’t watch that? Do it. With Dead Boy Detectives those are one of the best Netflix’s adaptations. And as Audible Neil’s Sandman comic has a very special audiobook adaptation too with multiple readers. He took care of that too. So you change things… but there are smart ones and you fail miserably as you can see at Bladerunner. It’s the adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? And it became one of the best scifi movie yet it has a ton of changes from a well known author. The same author wrote Minority Report and no matter Spielberg and Tom Cruise they couldn’t make a classic movie we remember forever. They failed the adaptation. See?

I was so use to seeing college dorms where they're rooming 2 students in one room. Then I remembered my brother in law was in an apartment where each student had a separate room and everyone shared a kitchen, dining living area.

Exactly what is the problem with that?

Okay, and aren't some of those complaints justified? They're both far away, disconnected from each other's "lives" yet the British royals and government have a heavy influence over Welsh and Scottish lives, homeland, regulations etc. Same as your comment about people in Alabama complaining about people in Washington. Very undue influence over their lives, while not really understanding their lives, and their experiences. Those dynamics will result in some justified conflicts.

Thank you. I'm glad you are enjoying these.

Thank you. I am glad you're enjoying them. Having a heck of a time trying to get the sound right when we're talking. There's got to be a better way to isolate multiple voices.

I don't doubt it. Definitely looked like the real deal to me.

I hadn't even thought about that. I know lighting and distance can be a factor. I was just so shocked it was on screen and out in the open so much.

I may watch the movies later. That will depend on what I have going on after I complete the last season.

If I have it would have been so long ago, I'm unlikely to remember all that much.

I get that permitting an oppressive regime is a huge problem in many countries. Colonialism has its own problems that are oppressive in other ways. That colonizing empire believes they are being benevolent by encroaching on other countries. Sometimes that encroachment may be genuinely beneficial to other countries, but often it is much more complex than that, bringing other oppression, striping away independence (as do other oppressive governments), striping away language, tradition, and culture, and enforcing the colonizer's language, traditions and culture. Top that off the colonizing empire is often ignorant to many of the realities for those indigenous to the country they are colonizing. Maybe some better middle ground that ensures this benevolence while permitting more independence of that country, ensures governing within the country that is representative of those who are indigenous to the country, and does not enforce policies and practices that strip language, culture, and tradition.

I am enjoying some of his comments.

A reaction that contains the entire video violates copyright laws and fair use. So you're idea is wrong and illegal. Go take it up with the authorities.

Yeah, I think ties here were just uncool in school generally, but that was in public schools without uniforms. I put my kids in a charter school with uniforms, but no required ties. It was kaki pants or shorts, and a green or blue shirt with the school logo. My kids still didn't like it, even though the requirements were a lot more lenient than some school uniforms.

Allright, it just seemed questionable to me, at best.

Thank you. I will be putting up 2 more episodes, then taking a break to react to 3 Body Problem. I will come right back to Death note after that. I think it's an 8 week gap.

@@venusbrownreacts i Hope WE will See IT all ... Death note is Just next level Anime i can Tell u after that maybe some movies or Others Animes which are very good to react

I think we're doing a zombie anime after we finish death note.

Sorry about that. At the time I was trying to play it through without pausing, recording the show and reaction on one video, cause lining up the video, reaction and audio was difficult for me. Plus, I had several times I had paused things, muted things, and forgot to turn them back on once I started up again, so I was trying to avoid that also.

He watched that a while back.

That makes sense.

Okay, we have this sandwich in one of our restaurants called a chicken carver. I just assumed something like that.

That sounds fabulous to me. I know when we try to add requirements like that in American schools they tend to be not that great, not what anyone really intended. They added requirements for a financial or economic class in high school here, and from what I've been able to tell it doesn't come close to covering the kinds of financial information most people really need to know for everyday life.

Thank you for telling me that. I didn't realize that. Even watching shows that show the transition to 6th form without uniforms, I don't think it occurred to me. Probably doesn't help that some of the shows I've watched are about fictional magic, heros and always in uniform.

The reality is, at least for me, I need to be able to understand and process what I am watching as I watch. Sorry if you don't agree with that. The original format may be great for you, it may be the only way to watch it, in your opinion. In its original form I am not likely to be able to understand and process what is being presented. Nobody wants to watch a reaction where the person reacting is confused most of the time and has no clue what is going on as it is presented. I am not brand new to anime, but I am still a nube. I could try subtitles, but I don't read fast enough to process them sufficiently. Dubbed works better for me, simply because it is faster and more efficient to my processing capabilities.

sub elitists at it again 🤦🏾‍♂️ let people be nobody is forcing u to watch also death note in dub is better anyway

That's pretty much what my kid said.

@@venusbrownreacts dont worry about it, in fact, the death note dub is of really good quality. With some anime, dubs are in fact horrendous , but not this one.

@@miguelfonseca1104 I honestly really use to not like dubbed or sub, but I would just not watch. Then My husband kept watching dubbed shows on Netflix. Some were really bad, and I got kind of use to them. This one is done pretty well, IMO.
