  7. Maybe it's cause I drink while watching these episodes, but I just don't get how so many are saying that episode sucked. I thought it was awesome. Cracks forming between Jon and Dany and the secret is out, Varys and Tyrion doubting Dany, shocking death of Rhaegal, Jamie just can't quit Cersei, etc. The celebration ran a bit long, but still thought there were some strong moments throughout.

  9. The best parts of the episode were the Arya/Hound/Beric/Red Witch sequence, Arya killing the NK, and the Little Bear going out like a boss vs the giant. I'm with you there. What would have made me much, much happier, though, is if D+D didn't make all of the main characters look so stupid. I've been letting the bad writing go over and over the last few years, but this last episode burned off whatever last vestige of patience I had. D+D talked repeatedly about using the siege at Helm's Deep as a model in their preseason interviews. You know what the good guys didn't do at Helm's Deep ? They didn't put their entire fucking army OUTSIDE THE WALLS OF THE CASTLE!!! D+D have the characters literally forget their life experiences in pursuit of false drama. Ned Stark told his kids that 500 men could hold Winterfell against 10k. With a proper defensive strategy, that would have given them good odds vs the zombie horde, without even factoring in the dragons. D+D literally have all the Starks ignore this. And why wouldn't Tyrion (who successfully defended KL in a siege), Jamie (who has taken castles by siege), Ed, Beric or anyone else with a brain speak up about the fact that the entire army was outside of the castle to start the battle ? It was a complete joke that threw me out of the story, as it made every person in the planning room look like an idiot. The worst amongst them being Jon. He knows the NK and his army better than anyone, and he successfully defended Castle Black in the exact same circumstance when they were massively outnumbered vs the Wildling army. Why did Jon forget all of the lessons he learned that night ? Use the fortifications for protection to even the odds. Where were the barrels of oil to pour fire down on the dead from the walls of the castle ? Where were heaps of dragonglass shrapnel that could have been launched at the zombies ? Why was anyone except the Dothraki outside of the castle at all ? We saw in the Loot Train attack that the Dothraki can shoot arrows effectively while at full gallop. But we didn't see one Dothraki archer in this battle. So instead of using their bows to weaken the zombies from a distance and using their horses to stay out of reach of the zombies, we get the entire Dothraki making a headlong, unsupported charge against an unseen enemy that we know is endlessly deep and isn't going to break out of fear. AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE DRAGONGLASS WEAPONS ? The answer to all of this stupidity is that D+D feel the need to create false drama. We saw it in BOtB, the Frozen Lake Battle and again with this episode. D+D put the good guys in a position where things are absolutely hopeless and then save them via Deus-ex Machina. But instead of making things great, it takes the reality and consequences out of the show. All anyone has to do is watch Two Towers (or the defense of Jerusalem in Kingdom of Heaven) to know that you can have all the excitement and tension you ever wanted as the defenders use smart strategies and tactics to fight against overwhelming odds on a more even footing. You're worried about the heroes, but you're cheering for them because they're smart and valiant, and there is some hope of victory. D+D think you have to eliminate any hope of victory to make it dramatic, but that's where these episodes become ridiculous cartoons, as none of the truly important characters die, despite hopeless odds fighting hand to hand and literally everyone around them dying as the zombie horde overruns the home team. It's the difference between a heavyweight classic like Ali-Frazier or Ali-Foreman vs Mike Tyson steamrolling a patsy in the first round. One has great ebbs and flows and endless tension. The other is a joke. I can't believe these guys used Helm's Deep as a model and gave us the steaming turd of a battle that we got, where these guys have their main characters ignore/forget their had-earned life experiences. If you asked me after the end of S4, I'd have said GOT was the greatest tv show ever made. Now ? No way. D+D are so out of their league that it's slowly killing the show. Their need to create false drama has turned GOT into a parody of what it once was, as the characters we want to root for act utterly and completely stupid. In S1-S4, people doing stupid things die. Now ? They just move on to the next idiotic plan where all hope will be lost until they're miraculously saved. My expectations for the last few episodes are very low, so hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.

  14. Admittedly I had no idea yesterday whether or not the Kentucky Derby decision was correct or not. Now that trump has weighed in though disagreeing with it I can safely say that the decision was obviously and absolutely the correct call. Thanks Trump!

  21. It’s not a big secret evangelicalism fucked me up quite a bit. I hoped that brand of Jesus would chase the gay* away. And it’s less of a secret it didn’t. It’s even less of a secret evangelicalism is one the greatest threats to our accepting, secular society where all religions and all people are allowed to join in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. When I was coming out she was one of the most influential voices and helped me see that real Christianity isn’t monopolized by any one group and that people can be super serious about loving Jesus and think I’m more than just ok, I’m actually a full member of the tribe, no asterisk required. That’s a huge deal given how much we hear we are less than equal and worse from voices in every direction. And it’s gotten a lot better because brave people like her. I’m very sad. *trans, queer, gay, all of it.

  22. The Mueller report proved two important things beyond any reasonable doubt, (1) the russians interfered in the 2016 election, and (2) trump is a hopelessly irredeemable liar willing to commits crimes to secure an advantage and would want number one to continue. Hell he fucking admits it. We knew all that anyway but now we have proof. The republicans have no problem with either of those conclusions, because they just want to win and “own the libs.” Not much way to run any society, much less than the one we had or at least thought we did. But oh well. So what to do now, hurry up and get armed? (Anyone get that reference, think Eazy E) No. Just vote dem in 2020. All the way down the ballot. There’s a lot of Gen X on this board. 45 years old white dudes like me. I’ve said this before but in the past our vote never mattered. Always severely outnumbered by the boomers. Who we voted for has never really mattered. And in the future, our vote wont matter either. Always will be severely outnumbered by the millenios. But this next year, and this one time only. Your vote will actually matter. Why? Because the boomer and the millenials are going to cancel each other out. That makes the swing voters from Gen X like you and me that will actualy get to decide an election. For the only time in our history. Make a difference for once, and at probably the most crucial time ever. At least we will have that.

  32. And this is part of the reason you've lost all respect. The older political boards were absolutely, 100% unhinged. Any progressive viewpoint was annihilated. You didn't see it then and now you think it's unhinged in the other direction. "Productive dialog" my ass.

  34. Eurohorn is maybe the most worthless poster on this site. He never has anything to add to a discussion, always just a drive-by GIF or comment. I negged him for one of his dumbbass comments last week and like a child he retaliated by going through my posting history and negging every comment he could.

  35. Meh. It's kind if hard to get too worked up over an artist's rendering, but I think that looks like shit. also, scooping dirt out of planters boxes sitting on top of astro turf is fucking stupid. Now, if you all will excuse me, I must leave as there are some youngsters on my grass that need a stern lecturing.
