The long-awaited Rings of Power series has reintroduced Middle Earth to the screen. However, the online community’s chaos and viciousness stiffened much of the momentum the show was aiming for.
In HBO’s House of the Dragon, one notable set piece that plays host to many important scenes and character dialogue is a weirwood tree planted in the middle of the Red Keep. Hardcore fans who only watched the original Game of Thrones run may find it odd that this seemingly heretical idol is left standing in the middle of King’s Landing.
Ever since its debut back in October 2019, Primal has gained quite the following. The simple story of a caveman and a T-Rex roaming a primeval landscape may be simple, but with the right combination of worldbuilding, pacing, and brutality, the show manages to maintain a steady cadence to keep the audience following along for the entire violent ride.
The driving force of our argument is that fairy tales don’t lend themselves to the same standards of consistency as semi-historical works or even high fantasy. That is, fairy tales have no lore.

On October 5th, 2003, environmentalist and filmmaker Timothy Treadwell – more commonly known as “Grizzly Man”, was killed in Katmai National Park in Northern Alaska by the very bears he vowed to protect. His story was covered extensively in the 2005 Werner Herzog documentary of the same name. This film extensively covers Tredwell’s life, interviews with friends and family, as well as his incredible footage.

A caveman and a T-Rex going on adventures don’t sound like much on its own. However, with great writing, an expanding mystical world, and allowing the scenes to breathe makes Primal potentially one of the best-animated shows to come out this decade.
But what form of government was this Galactic Republic, exactly?
“Zuko Alone” demonstrates the kind of man Zuko could still be under better circumstances. This foreshadows his redemption arc that would come in the final season as he joins his former foes and The Avatar to defeat his father and become the new Fire Lord – ending 100 years of war.
