I love watching the "shadow and bone cast answer Tumblr questions" interview, because Jessie and Daisy and Ben are their usual sparkling selves, and Patty and the twins are pulling some pretty good answers, making me laugh, and then the crows all look like they're dead on the inside.

SHADOW & BONE SEASON 2 THOUGHTS
SPOILERS AHEAD - read at your own risk
Ok, I think I made it clear enough
So, yesterday I finished watching the second season of S&B and I have contrasting thoughts.
Let's start with the good ok?
THE ACTORS. Cannot stress this enough. That is definitely a bunch of very talented people. They had one job and boy if they delivered. I liked everyone but my favourite performances were the ones of Freddy Carter (the Bastard of the Barrel psychotic gaze couldn't have been done better, and also his relationship with Inej... chef's kiss – straight out from the books) Amita Suman (if possible she did an even better job than in the first season, I loved Amita in every scene, from the fight ones to her SCENE with Kaz, and especially what she says to him after that "Hope is dangerous", which I don't think is very much in line with the Inej from the book, but it fits really well in the storyline of the tv series) Daisy Head (THE WOMAN WAS AMAZING, thank god she was given a bigger role in this season! the way she portrayed Genya was brilliant, the hurt, the shame, the fear you could read everything from her face, simply brilliant) Patrick Gibson (my love Nikolai, he also did a very good job and I liked his transitioning from a very swaggering and outgoing performance of Sturmhond, to his portrayal of Nikolai – I've seen some critics in the way he portrayed Nikolai, but in my opinion it couldn't have been better. Sturmhond is not the same as Nikolai otherwise it wouldn't have made sense to create the alter ego; for as much as he has the confident exterior, Nikolai is extremely thoughtful (and I think that you can recognise that by reading KOS/ROW) and Patrick was able to show the thought process that we read in the books, so I liked him). All the others were all extremely good, Ben Barnes off the charts as always, Jessie Mei Li and Archie Renaux did a brilliant job to give us Malina (sometimes definitely too diabetic but alright), the rest of the Crows, Danielle, Kit, Jack and Calahan were AMAZING, they embodied their characters perfectly (Wesper was done beautifully, different than the books, but Kit and Jack are so good that it just came flawless anyway; Helnik was pure angst and I LOVED IT). Also special mentions to Lewis Tan and Anna Leong Brophy because they NAILED the twins performance.
Then we have the plot. Now I wouldn't discard the thing as necessarily bad, because in its own right it wasn't. The issue with book adaptations is that we have such high standards given by the books that we always expect too much. I have to say, some things I liked some things I didn't. Shadow & Bone parts I have to say I'm partial to the second book, especially the whole attack at the Little Palace is just one of my favourites scenes ever and it felt a bit meh. Other issue they have not tackled at all was the religious role Alina had (especially with Tamar and Tolya that in the tv series look more like Nikolai's sidekicks) that instead I wanted to see. A character that basically disappears is the Apparat: I don't like the guy but he was kind of important (how he always schemes around, how he imprisoned Alina, now he's just a guy that gives shady advice to everyone who'd listen). I wish I could have seen more Zoya simply because I love her very much and the fact that she and the Darkling didn't have any type of scenes together is absurd to me. All the scenes where Nikolai was were better in my opinion but I may be a little biased, but I just don't want him to pine over Alina for too long! Not with Zoya right there! But we'll see. Also the whole thing Mal/Alina/Darkling was done in a pretty good way; could have been done better? obviously, but since the objective was not to copy word by word from the books I think it went well. Six of Crows parts I liked how they portrayed Kaz (his childhood story I wanted to cry everytime), very on point BUT I didn't like how rushed it was the vengeance against Pekka Rollins; it was done too quickly for the sake of giving the Crows something to do the first half of the season and it deserved more time for me. I like the new dynamics with the integration of Nina and Wylan, but once again we couldn't really see much of it because there was always someone else and never just the Crows. I've said it before but I'll say it again, Wesper was majestic, Jack must have understood Wylan to a soul level because it was the same as reading Leigh words. I don't particularly mind the fact that Wesper had a thing before rather than not having met at all. Also Jesper embracing its powers was really nice if not a bit rushed. Then, KANEJ SCENES PEOPLE. The talent of Amita and Freddy shone through so brightly it's amazing (the "How will you have me" scene pierced me to the core – not to mention Inej's dream.... ughh so good). KOS foreshadowing They killed David and I was so not okay with that, but then I thought "Did they though?" bc there was no body no anything, so maybe and I say maybe he still alive somewhere (he better be bc he has to marry Genya and be happy and I'll be in denial until it is confirmed). WHEN THE BEE LANDED ON ZOYA SHOULDER the scream that came out of me people thought I was possessed I swear. Nikolai as he finds out he's the nichevo’ya was really well done. What Nina said to Zoya "someone will sweep you off your feet so hard you won't know what hit you" I wanted to cry, I swear if they don't give me Zoyalai next season I'll riot. I didn't particularly enjoy the Genya,Zoya and Alina triumvirate, but I'm feeling it may be short lived. (Also Zoya's "I could fix him" energy is what we want in S3)
Now for what may happen next, I'm really happy about the jurda parem storyline because it affects everyone in different ways. I hope that now that they'll tackle KOS it won't become the Alina show pt 2 but they'll give Zoya the story she deserves. I need Zoya to be the general and right hand of the King and Alina is kind in the middle of that but then I thought that Alina will probably go on her own journey with the fact she has the sword to return to Shu Han and now dark powers and so she may enter her villain era with maybe Mal bringing her again on the right path (also let's not forget that the tree the Darkling goes into is in Shu Han, so I think they'll play around with that a bit), idk honestly all I care at this point is that by the end Alina's hair have to be white. I hope the Crows finally free poor Matthias from Hellgate and finally finally go do the Ice Court heist, that it has been a long time coming.
All in all I honestly liked the season, there was only one main issue that affected everything else: too many characters. In Italian there is a saying "troppa carne al fuoco" which means literally "too much meat on the fire" which translates to the fact that there were too many things to follow to do it properly. Too many stories to follow, too many people on the move with too many things to accomplish, and even with good writing it can easily become a shitty thing. So whatever it is to come (hopefully season 3 and also the rumoured SOC spinoff) I'm glad they are planning to separate the cast.
Ok I'm done.

Our favorite crew is back, so to celebrate "Shadow and Bone" Season 2 we invited some of the cast - Jessie Mei Li, Ben Barnes, Daisy Head, Patrick Gibson, Lewis Tan, and Anna Leong Brophy - to play a little game of Who's Who. They shared who throws the best parties after a long day of filming, who can be caught napping on set, who crushes karaoke, and so much more! Watch the video now to find out!

Initial Thoughts on the Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows Plotlines in Season Two
Some spoilers for the overall plot! Please keep the comment section free of spoilers, I’m only on Episode 6, but will definitely finish today.
As you know, the thing about this show is that it combines both books. Shadow and Bone, of course, isn’t exactly amazing, whereas Six of Crowd is fantastic. Putting both books in the same show sort of puts the bar at the same level and holds them to the same standard. A step up for Shadow and Bone, but a step down for Six of Crows. For Shadow and Bone, the question is always ‘what weaknesses from the book can they change to improve the show’, whereas the question for Six of Crows is always ‘what can they keep the same.’ They’ve done a great job at making improvements to the Shadow and Bone side of things, they’ve created a truly great adaptation. Can I just say that Patrick Gibson, Lewis Tan, and Anna Leong-Brophy are absolutely perfect for their roles? They’ve really exceeded my expectations for the Shadow and Bone side of things this season. But sadly, that’s still a step down for Six of Crows. Having to make up prequel material out of thin air (that somehow includes all 6 characters and has something to do with the Shadow and Bone plot) certainly changes the course of events for the Crows. Even in Season 1, they were pretty loyal to the books, but even that prompted a change. But to be honest, that never really bothered me. Season 2 on the other hand, wasn’t bad, but it was kind of all over the place. Instead of having a coherent, Season-long plotline, their story is split into two parts: taking care of Pekka Rollins (a premature plotline from the books) and retrieving Sankta Neyar’s sword, Neshyenyer on behalf of Ravka. My primary issue is simply that these storylines didn’t mesh together very well so as a whole, their plot this season felt kind of all over the board. While I was surprised to see them taking down Pekka Rollins already, I can’t say I wasn’t expecting some sort of change like that. And overall I thought they executed it really well. It was especially really exciting to see Dirtyhands finally show up. It really felt like watching Kaz from the books, a lot more than Season 1. But it was a pretty quick jump from that to finding Neshyenyer, and once again, having them travel across the world just felt a little too unfamiliar for them. If you’ve read any of my opinions about book adaptations before, you know that I’m not one to be opposed to changing the source material. Books and their adaptations should be viewed as separate things!! My issue with this season is less about the change, and more about the overall coherency (pacing and writing) of the change. The other thing I wanted to bring up was Jesper and Wylan’s storyline. This is probably my biggest source of disappointment so far. Their relationship felt quite rushed, and it honestly has me wondering what the Six of Crows season or plotline is going to look like, and if they’re still planning it. While I certainly hope they are, I’m just trying to make sense of why they would advance their stories so far. Anyways I’m really enjoying the season overall and I’m super excited to see the last bit of the season!

Chapuys, or Cromwell?
Cromwell is fine. I do not really think much of him, since I feel like he doesn't have Thomas Cromwell energy. That's the problem with the Tudors, their characters do not really feel like the historical counterparts. There is exceptions, like Chapuys, Anna von Kleve, and that hottie Sir Thomas More to name a few. But he just didn't feel like Thomas Cromwell. I remember someone said there was a lot of sexual tension between him and Henry VIII... which i do think there was ?? I don't know. I liked the character and he did move on that stupid season 3, however he isn't my favorite. He's in the Top 10, I say. But that isn't a lot when you think that I hate many characters in this show. NOW. CHAPUYS. I fucking loved this dude so much. Definitely better than Cromwell. Chapuys really started to pull on my heartstrings in Season 2. When I think of the real Chapuys, I also think of this man. The first time I kinda started to understand Chapuys was in Allison Weirs's Katherine of Aragon in her Six Queens series. But I got to get the grip of the guy from the Tudors. He is the father figure to Mary, they have such a great friendship. I was kinda disappointing that he didn't live as long as his historical counterpart, however I do understand why they made this decision to kill him off before Henry VIII. He's one of my favorite characters and by god is he so underrated. I wish he could be in the title cards since he's that much of a prevelant character. Anthony Brophy played him perfectly.
