Exactly that yeah. More interesting was what I saw in the Classics, with incredible work from Van der Poel from San Remo till Liege Bastogne Liege. Its almost unique to ride that well in the Flemish classics, and then compete again in LBL which Pogacar won convincingly. The Giro promises to be a race between contenders for place 2, and thats ok. The Tour though, all the big guns are lining up for it, Vingegaard when he returns, Pogacar, Evenepoel, Roglic and a few others.

Are we going to get one of these excellent summary posts for April and May too?

I have to say...at the risk of big backlash , but I dont think that most recent prequel trilogy they did, ( Duke of Dune, Lady of Dune, Heir of Dune) is bad at all. I found that quite an interesting prequel set just before the events of Dune, something I have always wondered about.

Have to disagree with that take. Shattered Sea felt noticably different and much less interesting to me than his other works, I definitely noticed a different style and characterization. Its not on the level of the books that came before it. Is it super young adult? No. But the characterization is definitely a lot more young adult than his other books, that is clear.

Someone made a very apt vide about The Acolyte. And actually someone made a video with precisely your title.

"Star Wars: No white guys allowed" starts June 5 apparently

Star Wars Acolyte to premier in June apparently as per news sites.

Oeh, The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman, his long awaited Arthurian novel, is finally done and coming out in July:

No Sandman season 2.... Unlikely for this year then? Or just not far enough into shooting to have a trailer.

Aside from the fact that Serena Williams was not a better player than Rafael Nadal, you also cant make that comparison. She played in a different sport, with very different competition. You can compare her to other female players, but you can not say she was better than Nadal. She never played Nadal, and if she had, Nadal would not have given her 1 game. Compare her to those she played, or compare her historically. But not cross sports. And against Nadal, who achieved so much and has been such a legend. I was much more impressed with Nadal the last 20 years fighting in a very crowded field than I was by Williams who played an ever revolving cast of Russian/Belarusian players who would disappear a year later. And still I think she is a legend in her own right and worthy of the acclaim she gets.

I'm excited for season 2. Who's with me?

That could be a great series too, yes. Thats also an interesting series.

Well we can actually. I agree with Baxus that there is really zero reason to bring a female player into it though, feels like you do that because you're American, she's American, but its incredibly hamfisted to lump her into a discussion with the Big 3. Let her be by far the best in the women's field, as a Big 1, which she was in her prime. Also, why would we need "a Big 3 and Serena" That feels incredibly artificial , to just add that in there, and you know it. Whats next, we need a Big 3 and Nascar? We need a big 3 and Peyton Manning? And can we have another big 3? I doubt with the charm that got the first time, but I can hope. Getting another Federer would be a dream. But I do think Sinner, Alcaraz, and an as yet upcoming youngser could make a new Big 3, or Big 4.

Its going to be very tight between those 4 teams yes, which is exciting. And I still dont count a great run from the Suns and Lakers, so that is 6 potential finalists. But those top 4 look rock solid. For me, Denver still slight favorite.

New Guy Ritchie film has a great cast, will watch that in cinema.
