I forgot how weird and disjointed the warden questline in #DragonAgeInquisition is if you bring Blackwall along but haven't figured out yet that he's not really a warden
You'd think that Hawke and [insert warden ally here] would have, like...literally anything to say to him when they meet up?
Stroud/Alistair/Loghain knows other wardens are hunting him, and one walks in with the Inquisitor and he just ignores him?
It really feels like there were different people writing the main quests vs the companions' backgrounds and somehow they didn't talk to each other about this obvious collision until too late
And like. It's not as egregious as the super clunky weirdness with playing a mage in Dragon Age 2. But it breaks the immersion

In #TheExpanse novels, each chapter has exactly one POV character. Because I'm strange, I went through them all last night and tallied how many each character has. Here is a thread of some things I learned.
There are a total of 34 characters with at least one POV chapter. 23 of these have more than one. As of the end of "Tiamat's Wrath", at least 14 of these characters have died. (I won't spoil which ones.)
Breaking it down by gender, we have 13 women and 20 men, or 21 men if we consider "The Investigator" to be male. A few non-binary characters have appeared in the books, but none has had a POV chapter so far. Women have 179 chapters while men have 268.
I don't usually talk about the recaps at the beginning of episodes, but this one merits some attention because it includes clips from a scene that appears to have been cut from the previous episode and never actually shown. #TheExpanse#SomeThingsINoticed
This is particularly weird because it introduces a new important character, Cotyar Ghazi, a freelance intelligence operative Avasarala hires after the assassination attempt in the last episode. #TheExpanse#SomeThingsINoticed
The dead guy Miller found after the riot in the last episode. Note confirmation from Julie's files that she matched with him on the space dating site. His profile says "I'll be your Sherpa". #TheExpanse#SomeThingsINoticed
Another reference here to how technology on Mars is outstripping Earth's in various areas, and how the impoverished Belt lags behind. #TheExpanse#SomeThingsINoticed
I know some of y'all liked my threads analyzing all the little visual details in #TheExpanse this last season. I had a sudden urge to rewatch the first season so I'm going to do the same for those. Let's call this #SomeThingsINoticed.
In this image of Earth in the title sequence, there are a lot of lights in an area of Iran/Afghanistan/Pakistan that is mostly unpopulated desert in the real world. I'd imagine as things got more crowded people started living in less hospitable places.
The effects of climate change on Earth are shown as polar ice melts and Liberty Island is completely flooded. #TheExpanse
