@@adamchristensen2648 To be fair, I wouldn't consider Tolkien a good writer, certainly least of all when it comes to structure. The flow is his books is so whack that several events he writes about don't actually take place at the time he places them in the story. It's not that this improves the story, because in fact it doesn't. No it's because he believed it to be more accurate. (But to be fair, a large part of his motivation to write these books wasn't actually to entertain audiences, so I'll give him that, at least.) And let's not forget he wrote an entire chapter in the middle of an ongoing epic, tens of pages long, describing nothing but geographical features like the speed of a flowing river, which is a bad idea to put in a book. Never mind the redundancy of the lion's share of what's said during the meeting of the White Council. Just because he writes beautifully stylistically (which I think he does do), that fact alone doesn't make him a good writer. For whatever it's worth to you, I agree the way Tauriel was employed in the movie is not good, for more or less the same reason. Also, the writers included Tauriel to make up for a lack of female characters in the story, but then bounce her around as the default for the romantic arcs (which the story doesn't actually need to succeed) BECAUSE she's a female character. I don't think Tauriel herself is a horrible inclusion. In fact I think she's just ok (we don't learn a whole lot about the point of her character after all), but the real chance at development and/or exposition a character like her offers I think is criminally underutilized.

I miss getting to see them all go through their own answers after the grid matching one because there were always some hilarious wrong answers there

Um actually, Siobhan was correct that Tobias was not stuck as a hawk (at least for the entire series). He eventually regains the ability to morph again through the near omnipotent entity the Ellimist and is even allowed to require his human form as a morph.

But the Timeless Childs (yes childs, not children) are from outside of time, and the Gallifreans are from the end of time. Humans, in the linear perspective, came first.

Um actually, while the headless horseman from Irving's sleepy hollow is from New York, it actually originates from the Celtic legends of the Dullahain, a headless horseman that would sometimes carry its own head as a lantern, and use either a sword or a whip made from a human spine to kill its victims. It is also depicted as driving a horse carriage or with a pack of dogs. The dullahain were similar to Irving's headless horseman by the way they died, through a war related death. Thus the Headless Horseman is firmly a Irish creature in origin.

Um, Actually, there's an accent over the E in Éowyn. also fun fact it means horse lover :)

"Hedge Witch" is a slur used to speak down on humans that learned magic outside of an official college, as their use of magic is frequently dangerous and unsanctioned.

However in the reboot series they were simply refered as the Doctor.

Fun fact, the main track from Men In Black is from the 1982 hit song Forget Me Nots by Patrice Rushen.

There were actually five things wrong with the Animorphs question: Tobias wasn't turned into a red-tailed hawk, he turned himself into a red-tailed hawk It wasn't Yeerk technology that turned him into a red-tailed hawk, it was Andalite morphing technology that allowed him to He was, for several books, stuck because he exceeded the time limit in morph Siobhan is right; he isn't stuck, because, while still a nothlit, the Ellimist gave him morphing powers back. There was no Yeerk technology called the Morph Gun, this vaguely alludes to the Anti-Morphing Ray, which could have turned Tobias into a red-tailed hawk but, because he was a nothlit with morphing powers, did nothing, and made the Yeerks think it was broken. It's been two years, so I'm not going to tweet this at them, but I think Siobhan was robbed of at least a "that is technically correct but also sort of not."

Um, Actually, female dwarfs aren't hidden at all. The problem is that they grow beards too and look a lot like the men so no one beyond other dwarfs can really tell the difference.

Um actually to the correction at 9:20: Colourless and generic mana were distinct concepts long before 2016 (maybe since the inception of the game but there were some major rules overhauls in the early years so maybe not).

Colourless mana is a type of mana, any mana you generate that doesn't have a colour is (you guessed it): colourless! There is a fun technically in the rules where effects that generate "any colour" of mana are different from effects that generate "any type" because only the latter can generate colorless mana.
