I am pretty sure Elliot Page will play Elpinor
Wasn't there a rumor a while back that she/he might be playing Patroclus, who according to some sources was Achilles' lover?

Beth is a good coach but she has not been good enough at this point to engage a broader portion of the fanbase, she has to earn that now
I have nothing against Beth as a person. She seems like a nice lady and is a good ambassador for the university. That said, I think she has peaked and her best days are behind her. If she couldn't win a title (not even an SEC title) with a team loaded with talent (Hoover, Walljasper, Simmons, Bell, Jaquish, Andrews, etc.), then she never will. I don't see us rolling into Tuscaloosa and beating Bama twice. They have dominated us in softball in recent years, and I don't think that stops this season.

She’s was basically a prisoner. Between the phone call and what she was saying while she was asleep I keep wondering where her consciousness went. The phone call made me think she was somewhere surrounded by total darkness or maybe observing everything that was happening without having any control.
SPOILERS:
Agree. The "real" Nikki was trapped inside "freaky Nikki." Her consciousness was still there. When Bear's death finally set her free, she immediately regained control.

shite, they could’ve made older Theron Helen of Troy
And would’ve been fine.
True. She's more in the line of what most people visualize when they think of Helen. A classical beauty.
It's clear that Nolan made it a priority to assemble an ethnically diverse cast, which is fine I suppose, but strangely, I don't see any Greek actors in there anywhere. If there are, they are in minor roles.

I don't think she is entirely unattractive, but she's playing a character who is supposedly the most beautiful woman in the world. So beautiful that she started a war. I don't think they did a great job of casting here.

i was under the impression that Interstellar was her last movie. she "left" to raise her kid(s) or so from what i remember.
this was the only movie i was aware of her being in lately.
She was just in the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. She was in some weird lesbian "horror" movie call Mother Mary. She's in The Odyssey and another movie called Verity, as well as The End of Oak Street, all of which have had trailers drop in the past month or so.

The sets and landscapes look amazing and then they start talking lol.
Exactly! Having Tom Holland's character call Odysseus "dad" immediately took me out of the scene. I guess Nolan wants to update the classic story for "modern audiences", which usually never goes well.
Also, what's the deal with Anne Hathaway? She's in everything. She's become the female version of Pedro Pascal.

My first thought as well
Same here. I assume that Nolan had Pattinson and Holland speak with American accents because the rest of the cast couldn't adopt a passable British accent? What are they going to do with Mia Goth and Lupita Nyong'o? Even if a movie is crap, having British actors in it always seems to elevate it a bit. It's the accents. Since Pattinson is the villain, I'm a bit surprised he didn't keep his accent.

Edward’s abdication/Wallis Simpson -
Elizabeth’s Dad and the connection to his cousin Tsar Nicholas II (Romanov)
These were both briefly covered in the earlier seasons of The Crown, but it would be great to see them expound on the events more.
I wonder if they will bring back Claire Foy and Matt Smith or if they will recast the roles of the young Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. The actress they used to play Elizabeth as a teenager looked remarkably like Claire Foy. She would be a great choice.

No thank you. Those are supposedly agonizingly painful before you lose consciousness.
I want to go to sleep like it's any other night and just not wake up. The worst part of going that way is that you don't get to say goodbye. I don't want my loved ones' last memory of me to be that of seeing me in pain.

I disagree. I think she's done a good job this year. And, we have fired the Football and Basketball coaches this year. We need that money for those two sports more than winning a few more games in softball and losing money.
I don't think she's done a good job, but I don't recommend firing her this year. Simply don't renew her contract at the end of next season. It's time for her to put up or shut up. With OU and Texas joining the SEC, getting her team to a regional isn't enough. We've gone from being a conference front-runner to being a middle of the pack team, and we haven't sniffed the WCWS in ages.
