One of the regular cast members from Downton Abbey showed up in episode 3 as one of the elves. I almost didn't recognize him with the long hair and the ears.

Ba’lian (Downton Abbey's Kevin Doyle), "

He appeared and was killed off in the same episode. What a waste.
He was a major player in Downton Abbey I believe he was in every episode.
His character probably evolved more than anybody else in the cast.
He started out as a valet and had various other jobs and ended up as a school teacher.
He was never one of the main characters yet I cannot imagine the series without him.
He was basically the comic relief.

Not possible. I've watched 5 episodes out of eight he was only in one it looked like he got killed. He was cowardly and failed to help his friend so he sacrificed himself and was killed. Why he would come back would be a mystery. Even if he was in the last 3 episodes that would just be 4 episodes he was in. I've seen IMDb make mistakes like this over and over and over.

I looked into maybe reading the books but I didn't like the way they were written so I'm not going to bother. It's like they're written for teenagers.

There is a documentary on Netflix called the making of The Witcher. I had no idea Henry Cavill was British because he has an American accent on the show and everybody else on the show has a British accent. Makes no sense. And I knew on the show they were beefing up how deep is voice is because in the documentary his voice isn't that deep.

Don’t Look Up (Netflix)

I enjoyed it (but let’s be real, I’m totally in the choir that it is preaching to).

Could have been funnier, but overall I found it entertaining.

And the post credits scene was a huge highlight.

I thought they nailed creepy billionaire as the perfect average of Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg.
