rogueslayer452++ I recently discovered a post that features audio pronounciations for the names in The Untamed, which has been incredibly helpful because while watching the show everything is spoken quite fast that I cannot keep up with understanding how to properly pronounce things. And Chinese is a difficult language to learn, so having a guide, even a simple one to know how to properly say their names, is very useful and I'm grateful for the OP for doing that.
++ I started a new show recently, a kdrama called Crash Landing On You. It was a random pick based off of a recommendation and decided to check it out, and from the very first episode I was sold. I haven't watched much of it yet, I'm spacing out the episodes and pacing myself, mostly because I'm still stuck from the emotional hangover that is The Untamed, but so far it's absolutely delightful. It is adorable, lighthearted and so tropey in the best possible way.
++ It's been announced that Cas Anvar has been let go from The Expanse, which is good news considering what was revealed about him earlier this year, however it's also been announced that the show was been renewed for a sixth which will be its final season. I kind of suspect the latter may possibly be connected to the former, but that's just my own speculation due to how deeply involved he was with the fan campaign to save the show in the first place, including his account of talking with Jeff Bezos directly during a conference. I sincerely hope that's not the case, though, and it's more of a creative decision since the books do have a massive time-jump. Also it could possibly be COVID related since the pandemic has affected a lot of filming of shows and films at this time as well, so that could be another factor to consider.
I'm conflicted on this because on one hand I really wanted the show to on long enough to adapt the entire book series, since it would've been really cool to see an adaptation actually complete that task and have it be done right. And while I haven't started the books yet I know it goes to some interesting and fascinating places that would be amazing to see on television. On the other hand, the fact that the show was saved from cancellation to begin with is a damn miracle in itself. Having six seasons is actually quite an accomplishment, and if they're able to make adjustments to wrap things up proper to give us a damn good finale, then I'm happy. Because while I wanted there to be more seasons, that's all I want: a proper conclusion to a damn good story, and I trust the people running the show to deliver us something epic.
