  1. I'm a little surprised by some folks feeling like there was a lack of backstory/motivation for the NK.
    He was created to kill man/wipe them out, by the CotF for that purpose alone.  And that's what he's been doing ever since, for thousands of years.
    He's been beaten back at least once, thus the Wall.  But that's been his only purpose, as far as I can tell--trying to complete his mission.
    Who knows if the CotF knew that he'd also be able to create WW's and raise the fucking dead, but I don't think his purpose was ever ambiguous.
    I also don't have a problem with his death scene.  He wasn't really stalling much--his approach was shown in slo-mo.  But I don't blame him at all for taking a second to savor his victory over the 3ER, who'd been a thorn in his side for millennia.  Always spying on his ass.  He had no reason to fear any interruption.
    I just wish there'd been a way to draw his death out a bit so we could witness his realization that he was finally going down.  But that would've given him the opportunity to defend himself even more effectively.

    CotF?
  2. frankly, i wasn't thinking about Arya. i was thinking about how useless and pointless Bran was. and I wasnt that broken up by the prospect of the NK ending him.

    I mean he has to contribute something at some point doesn’t he? They’ve been building this story for 6-7 seasons. Surely it goes somewhere.

    Aryas ninja assassin story certainly did.

  3. So that green Tele I posted I got for 50 bucks. The body is stunning. Have a new neck on the way, and electronics. I have some pickups laying around, but may get a set of Fat Lions from Rob DiStefano. Or may pull one of the Nocaster pups from the triple Tele for the bridge.

    I have a set of lindy fralin tele blues specials if you are interested.
