  1. If Brann doesn't control the North (and the Night's Watch by proxy) anymore, why is Sansa making Jon fulfill his punishment?
  2. Same, except I'm also the guy who banged your girlfriend under the bleachers afterwards as payment.
  3. This...this is the guy who once said Mike Glennon reminded him of Aaron Rodgers.
  4. I guess the difference for me is in the past whenever a big moment or reveal took place in GoT, no matter how outrageous or seemingly out of nowhere, I always understood (even if only viscerally at first) there existed a well defined, though often deliberately subtle, logical series of preceding events and I took a lot of comfort in that. It usually means the writers respect their audience's intelligence, and when a show has that kind of relationship with its viewers you get a huge following. That's why there are a lot of disappointed people, myself included, because they went away from that in the interest of TV politics (time&money). There's no reciprocity anymore. You can't craft an intricate universe complete w/ top production quality and fantastic writing that appeals to viewers' intellects and then go for a half-hearted wrap up season where every episode might as well be titled Tying Up Loose Ends. They punted, understandably so but for me it's been pretty painful watching tbh. It's a reminder why I'm so ambivalent about the entertainment industry. They create some amazing stuff but when they get cynical it's nuclear (GoT last season, Hangovers 2/3, True Detective Season 2, Anchorman2 etc)
  5. I'm talking All Quiet on the Western Front style level10 misery and despair. End boss death/desolation and just let the peons inherit the earth. These inbred ruling families always ruin everything anyway.
  6. Technically there’s no difference in the reins, you’re referring to the bridle...second horse has a Pelham bit, first horse has a bridle (maybe the same one but probably not) with the double bit rings configured differently. For me it’s the same horse, different tack.
  7. And also I can't help feeling everyone's acting has devolved from well-directed earnestness to distractingly-bad melodramatic this season...it's like Dinklage got a lobotomy or something. I mean for the one guy I thought we could count on for a nuanced performance, his acting while he was setting his brother free to somehow rescue Cersei was laughably bad.
  8. From Twitter: apparently a bunch of people who named their daughter either Daenerys or Khaleesi in the last odd-decade are freaking out?
  9. I said almost the exact same thing after watching this latest episode last night. They still have a top-of-the-line HBO budget, so it's going to look great, but without the original story to draw from it's not nearly as compelling imo.
  10. Exactly where I’m at. Mainly due to the QB position we haven’t had a well balanced attack in a long time. You need to be unpredictable (they used to call it ‘being multiple’ I think, always hated that term) when it’s called for and imo it all starts with an above average offensive line or super duper talent at skill positions, which as of yet we don’t have. Allen is the key, and I think he’s got the potential to overcome a lot of offensive deficiencies we may have, but how the line gels is going to be as important as the QB’s development.
  11. We’ll see. I’m cautiously optimistic but I don’t see him having a big impact.
  12. That would be fine w/ me. I’m just not expecting a ton from him. That’s significant even percentage wise, and not counting how Prescott stopped going to him in important spots. Hope so on the 3rd down thing, but imo if he’s the leading receiver the offense won’t be very good.
  13. Because I watched him with the Cowboys and he was an afterthought once Cooper arrived. He needs lots of targets (for a 2nd/3rd option) to be effective whereas Brown and Foster don’t. I think he will be limited in usage, particularly in this offense.
  14. I wouldn’t be putting too much faith in Beasley myself. I’m hoping Foster and some combination of Brown and Jones are the main 3.
  15. It’s free if you have internet.
  16. You can always stream games online for free by going to 'Reddit soccer streams' if that's of any use at all.
