That was nice. I usually am not into the stat talk but I enjoyed it very much.

Excellent vision as always, Dudacek. I think a move like that, along with a good 3rd pairing pick up are what we can expect of Murray this off season. I'd like to pick up 2 top 4 guys, but I don't think it's feasible. If he does manage that, then Murray's an omniscient, magnificent bastard, but it very likely also means we missed out on Stamkos.

We're probably going to re-record tomorrow earlier in the day. It's really fun. Cathartic, too.

So, uhhhh I recorded a Game of Thrones podcast tonight. Editing it tomorrow. For our first go at it, and my co-host being half asleep, it actually went okay. My voice is super nerdy, though.

This girl is the young version of my mom. My mom is the kind of person who will dance anywhere no matter what. At a recent Mavis Staples convert, Mavis came over and shook my mom's hand mid song because she was the only person out of the 200+ audience on her feet dancing, The awkwardness doesn't matter in that performance because she's just living the energy of the song.

The hair

I can't wait until I'm teaching my nephews and neices how to drive. "Uncle, who has the right of way?" "ubkev does. Always."

That would transform my sister from an excellent player into a mere pedestrian. I would love it, though, I've always sucked in the air.

I think it was supposed to be that they landed in a snow drift, but there didn't seem to be that much snow on the ground in their escape scene.

That's the question, isn't it. When does being Jimmy McGill no longer become feasible? And the bolded is very very false.

Yeah. Jimmy could never comprehend how his beloved, idolized brother could be jealous of him. I'm really interested by the conflict in Jimmy during this scene. He's still minimizing the ###### thing he did by blaming it on Chuck not "taking it like a normal person." But of all people, Jimmy should've known that Chuck isn't in any state to handle this kind of ######ery with grace. The smart thing to do would be to get as far away from his brother as possible, but like PA said, the inherent goodness and reflex to take care of his brother is too strong. Jimmy is trying to be an adult about the whole "You're not a real lawyer" blow-up. He sees his recent struggles with Chuck as the give and take of life, whereas Chuck is seeking revenge HARD against Jimmy for what he did.

Were we fighting? Awwwww.

Which is a totally fair criticism to lob at Doran. But killing him now after not establishing him at all was not a good decision by the showrunners. Oh, those three guys we met once are dead. And Ellaria's whole coup just seems like it's fueled by rage and nothing else. I don't find it compelling. Ok. The scene failed then. We just saw the 3 Meereen sets that already existed filled with like 4 people. Tyrion wasn't fearing for his life even though there's basically an active rebellion going down in the city. Varys is still waiting on his spies so no added information there. There's no reasonable explanation for why the unsullied wouldn't be protecting the ships. That scene could've accomplished so much more rather than just re-establishing things we already know. I guess showing that red priests are supporting Dany was the button of that scene. woooo. I was surprised you didn't like Season 1 of True Detective, which is easily in my top 5 for seasons of television. And the hypothermia thing didn't bother me in a "game of thrones sucks rawrrr" sense, more in a "I can't turn my brain off" sense. Yeah I don't think they're going to dump Van Houten for the sake of a new actress.

Oh man thinking about schools shelling out money to football instead of music/art programs makes my blood boil.

How? Bogo was scoring like every game and Gorges was playing better defense than McCabe against harder competition. What was McCabe's game offering us that exceeded those two?

You make it sound like it's my fault that I don't like the show. (Oh man you could set it at .5 and I'd still take the under.) I didn't think she was. But Freeman thought so and he's always right (hehe okay no he's not) so I just went with it. Another thing, the hounds. I know that dogs are really hard to shoot with, but this was the best they could do? They look like sweet old dogs and they disappear from the scene entirely once the fight starts. So much for "I've seen what these hounds can do." And Theon grew up hunting in these woods! Crossing the river wouldn't help if there's a crossing nearby. Why did he act like it would work? And the realist in me was screaming "Hypothermia! They're both dead already!"

I don't think McCabe played anywhere near as well as Risto, Bogo, or Gorges in those last 25 games.

We decided a while back that spoilers don't have to be marked in show-specific threads. If you haven't seen the most recent episode, beware of this thread.

Ugh the fight scenes were so bad. I liked the parts where Pod was fighting because you could see what was happening. The way they cut the Brienne parts was the usual 3-cuts-per-sword-swing crap that they do when they don't want to try to make anything look good. I don't understand why they think not being able to see it at all is better. And when the prince of Dorne stood up to fight... Okay a 16 year old would have been training with weapons for at least half of his life, I'm supposed to believe that he would just put his back to one of the TWO people trying to kill him? Even somebody who's never held a sword would be able to put up a better fight than that. The Dorne plot was... Okay it happened. Elleria cared so much about Oberyn that she exterminated his house... Nice. This also marks the first time in the books AND show where something actually happened in Dorne. So woooooo. I don't understand the Meereen scene. Why was Tyrion walking around without a guard? Were they taking the measure of the city? It seemed like they were just going on a leisurely stroll. Why didn't Tyrion and Varys have the ships protected? Why didn't Dany if she literally just left and her order would've still been standing. Why did the Meereenese allow Dany to keep the ships until now? Why did the show give Dany the ships when she took Meereen only to have them ALL be burnt? Dany already chose to stay in Meereen, this ships burning business is drama first plotting that doesn't even have any real dramatic payoff. Like, okay they can't go to Westeros now, but they weren't even trying to go to Westeros. The city can be blockaded by water now and they have no way of fighting it... Ok. Was that worth an entire nothing scene? So few of the scenes in this episode accomplished ANYTHING. Sooooo booooorrrrrring. The Marg and Arya scenes were both boring and didn't bring any new story elements to the table. Oooohh, the spooky old religious guy is trying to use Stockholm syndrome ooooooohhhhhhhh.

Where are the wildlings? Everybody at Castle Black hates them so much but is okay with them leaving the castle to go wherever? None of the wildlings want to stay at Castle Black at all? Tormund doesn't want to stay near Jon (you know, that guy he vouched for in front of all the wildlings and said we can be friends with the Black Brothers because of this man) apparently. If the mutiny was about the wildlings, then why hasn't Thorne led men against wherever the wildlings are? That bit where he told the assembly that they killed Jon Snow and nobody got out of control or whipped a sword out was so stupid. Apparently whenever you stage a coup as long as you use a firm enough voice when you talk to your men everything will be okay. And what about Hardhome? Why the hell did that even happen if none of the characters are going to act like it happened? I didn't even realize that scene was her choosing to die. I feel like a fire witch would be really important in the fight against the others, her dying now means that her arc offered pretty much nothing to the story (hey, just like Stannis's!).

:lol: :lol:

Your parents still do.

It's funny how our good conversations are almost all off topic.

Yeah because Jack's ripping them through the net. I think I would be very soothed by the sound of two people skating. Then I'd become enraged with envy.

That's insane. What a baller.
