Season 2 reshoots have ended on schedule and without incident. No new casting leaks during these reshoots, unfortunately. -
Ukraine War: incompetence vs fecklessness
The Dragon Demands replied to Kalbear's topic in General Chatter
Seeing a lot of images on social media this week that Ukraine’s mud season has begun in earnest. That should pause any advances on the main front until around the start of May - have there been any solid dates predicted for mud season this year? -

Ukraine War: incompetence vs fecklessness
The Dragon Demands replied to Kalbear's topic in General Chatter
No amount of sanctions will ever truly affect Russia because we fundamentally can’t afford the disruption to the global economy caused by stopping all their oil exports. So they’re not going to run out of oil money. But there’s a finite number of able-bodied men. You can fudge the numbers - use imprisoned political dissidents as cannon fodder - but sooner or later you’re going to hit the ceiling. Particularly in a country with a low birth rate the past three decades of the post Soviet era. Putin is willing to expend more men though, being an autocrat. But another factor is they already had LABOR shortages due to the low birth rate. If they draft more able bodied men the economy will suffer even more. And that’s assuming they take time to train conscripts. -

Sweden has officially joined NATO. Good news: if there’s one thing I detest, it’s neutrality. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68506223 -

This was heavily discussed at the time: rewrites and reshoots during filming are a normal and indeed essential part of the process. The strike happened just as filming began, when the scripts were “done” but they couldn’t do concurrent rewrites. Even at the time, HBO acknowledged “we’ll need a month of reshoots at some point after the strike is over”. -

Turns out the reshoots are bigger than we thought, will involve battle scenes, and didn’t even start yet! We thought filming would begin on February 1; instead filming begins March 1st and will last one month; -
