  1. Great game, and a great reminder why cfb is the best spectator sport there is.
  2. I accidentally clicked into this thread instead of the illiterati one by mistake. Fuck. But seriously, where are the whitewalkers?
  3. Great career choice by him. That'll show 'em. With that million dollar voice, I'm sure the offers will come rolling in.
  4. My best guess, if I had to justify it, goes back to the scene with his daughter and the queen that never was (men would rather put the realm to the torch than see a woman on the throne). I think all the scheming and pressure from the lords causes him to (correctly) infer that most will not really accept his daughter as the true heir, despite their loyalty oaths. So he realizes he probably has to marry. He just makes an incredibly poor choice, which is on brand for him, and it's one that's so bad, he should have just stayed unmarried. Still a scene or some dialogue to explicate this a bit more would have made the episode better IMO. There was a lot of filler and not much on the one decision that looks like it's going to really fuck things up down the line.
  5. But he could plow green dress on the side and stay unmarried - he gets companionship and poontang. The only reason to remarry is for political reasons, and he chooses to do so in a way that makes no political sense. I understand he is weak and indecisive; but this decision makes absolutely no sense. It at least warranted a scene, even ex-post, briefly explaining his reasons.
  6. I would have crushed that ball. Not really. But maybe.
  7. I like the show so far. It has the early GOT formula: the palace intrigue, the scheming, the boogeymen in a far off place. The pacing is a little slow, but I’m ok with it. My only complaint from ep 2 is they never rationalized why the king chose to wed the BFF. Why give into the political pressure to remarry, only to chose the option that makes little political sense and will devastate your daughter and heir? Why not just stay unmarried?
  8. Nah, it’s for us. 21 year olds won’t give two shits about some investigator movie with a 50 year old lead. They wanna see avengers part 12.
  9. I made it 1:18 through the trailer. Looks like total dogshit.
  10. Revising my rating of the queen to be upwards. IRL, she's much better looking IMO
  11. a few things: 1) In a fantasy show with fire breathing dragons, are we really arguing verisimilitude re: technology advances? 2) I thought the the makeup department had the King's evil brother all done up to look like link from Zelda or some giant elf creature. But, no, he's just an odd looking dude in real life. 3) Can we change the thread title to actually match the title of the show?
  12. don't sweat it. We're much better at c-sections now.
  13. Loved it. This felt much more like early GOT to me. Definitely in.
  14. Checking in. Flight cancelled after we taxied out to the runway and sat there for 10 minutes or so. Pilot came on and said they had “paperwork issues.” He came on 5 minutes later saying paperwork was resolved but the crew had timed out so we needed to go back to the gate. That took an hour because no gates were available. Once at the gate, the pilots messed up the park job, so they had to call over a tug to push us back a foot or so. That took another 30 minutes. I was so discombobulated fucking around on the app trying to rebook to another flight that I forgot my iPad on the plane. Lulz. After a combination of waiting in line for 1.5 hours and wheeling/dealing on the phone, they rebook us for tomorrow, but send our bags on another flight back home without asking. So we are stuck overnight in a hotel I had to pay for (the only close voucher hotel did not have a room big enough for us) without bags. In short, fuck American. Top to bottom, from the pilots to the gate agent to the baggage office, no one seemed to give a shit. The flight attendant was at least somewhat apologetic. Finally, I may have seen Art Acevedo on the flight. He looked kinda rough. At least we didn’t get raped.

  16. I doubt that's him in NYC. I bet he was drunk/high/shaken up from the crash, wandered off and died of exposure/dehydration. That's more common than people realize. For example, a serial killer was discovered in Long Island because a stoned call girl ran away from a john into a marsh, got lost and exhausted, and died. In the search, they found her, plus a bunch more random bodies from an unrelated serial killer by happenstance. I also saw an episode of Disappeared once where a chick had a psychotic break after a bout of drinking and she wandered from door to door in a neighborhood, got lost in a greenbelt, and then died of dehydration/exposure. Shit's fucked up.
  17. The "I'm not really sure I liked it" vibe of this thread is not really making me want to rush out and see it.
