That lighting is much better. Makes it easier to discern what is happening in key scenes…the dragon fight, Arya and the Night King, etc.

Wait a minute…

If the Night King is dead, then how is wv still posting here?

His laptop should be buried under a couple thousand ice cubes.

Are ALL the Dothraki dead?

No.

Just the ones that followed Daenerys to Westeros.

Episode 3 — spoilers.

First off, I think they have wasted Tyrian and Verris (sp?)so far this season. Dinklage was the best part of this series and they are wasting his talents. And Verris might as well not even exist anymore. I think those are mistakes. Focusing on the Dragon queen, who has zero charisma and zero talent is a mistake, imho.

The big battle scene was ok, but it was not as good as the battle of the bastards.

The Dragon stuff was all good. The dragons at night, battling, were awesome. (I couldnt figure out what happened to John’s dragon? How many dragons are left?)

I am in favor of Drogon sitting on the Iron Throne.

Drogon is one of the dragons born in the Dothraki sea. Commanded by Daenerys Targaryen, he is named for her dead husband, Drogo.

Drogon is believed to be the reincarnation of Balerion the Black Dread, but Daenerys decides to give him a new name for his new life.[1]

The largest and most aggressive of Daenerys’s three dragons, Daenerys has problems reining him in.

Appearance

See also: Images of Drogon

Drogon’s scales are black, his horns and spinal plates are blood red,and his eyes are smouldering red pits.[2] His teeth are black as well.[3][2] his flame is black fire shot with red and the wash of its heat can be felt thirty feet away. His wing flap sounds like the clap of thunder. He bleeds black blood.[2]

As of A Dance with Dragons, Drogon’s wings stretch twenty feet from tip-to-tip, black as jet.[2]

See, I thought the dragon fight was hard to follow. And it was difficult to tell what the outcome was. Immediately after the fight when John’s dragon sorta crash landed, they never showed it again. However, I’m pretty sure it’s ok. I assumed the Night King’s dragon was dead so I was surprised to see it wreaking havoc inside Winterfell later on.

I managed to see the first two episodes. Dunno when I’ll see the rest.

I thought the first episode was excellent. The second, was just ‘ok.’ I tried to think of why i didnt like it as much and it struck me that the reason was — cause I’ve seen all that before. I’ve seen it a gazillion times.

Spoiler — episode two was all about ‘the night before the battle’. Some folks get drunk, some get laid, etc etc. Seen it all before a million times. Saw it in 13th Warrior, for example.

Well, I certainly agree that Ep 1 was better than Ep 2.

But I really liked the scene where everyone was sitting around the fire, getting drunk, and telling stories. I found that to be very relatable. That’s how I spent my entire 20’s and early 30’s. 😉

Well, episode three was both awesome and had a huge unexpected ending.

My only major complaint is with the ridiculous strategy of sending the Dothraki to charge the Dead alone while two dragons sat around watching.

Like they were the Irish at Fredericksburg.

However, it was dramatic watching the fires from the Dothraki swords being extinguished in the distance.

Who woulda thunk the Night King would have been defeated with three episodes to go?

Well, onto to King’s Landing. Of course, John and Dani don’t have an army anymore….

Rapp is a pure baller if I may use the parlance of the day.

I like any Olineman from Wisconsin.

The kid from Penn State is a ST Ace and has huge upside.

Don’t like what I read somewhere about Henderson having poor vision and being easily knocked off his feet. Reminds me of another back with gaudy collegiate numbers…Lawrence Phillips.

Do you have any special insights about Scott? From the reports, he’s very athletic, and he tested that way as well. Fast, quick, agile. Apparently, not that good yet at reading plays as a safety, but he won’t have to worry about that as a special teams whiz.

Do you think he can end up being more than a special teams warrior? Again, it’s an excellent pick even if that’s all he ever does. But if he contributes as a DB too? It’s a steal.

I don’t have any special insights. From what I’ve seen and read he has everything you want in a player from an ability standpoint. I think he has a chance to become a very good safety. He has a higher ceiling than Rapp. He just lacks experience.

However, as you know having potential and achieving it are two different things. What he’s able to become depends on how far behind the learning curve he is, how fast he can pick things up, how much he wants it, injuries, luck, etc.

Well, I hear we cant judge a draft until about two or three years later.

So, I’d say, my reaction to the 2017 draft, is, that Cooper Kupp was a damn good pick.
Gerald Everett? Enh.
John Johnson? Pretty good.
Josh Reynolds? Enh.
Ebukan? Not bad.
Tanzel Smart? I dunno.
Ejuan Price? I dunno.
Sam Rogers? Hall of Fame.

2017:https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2017/5/8/14199540/los-angeles-rams-2017-nfl-draft-grades

I think you’re being too hard on Everett and Reynolds. They’ve made positive contributions although we might have expected more. I think the verdict is still out but looks promising.

They’re more of a contemplative “Hmmm” then “Enh”, IMO.

And outside of the Chiefs game Ebukan has been a solid “wha”?

How the human sense of good taste degrades over time.

I remember getting Football Digest in the late 70s and early 80s and they occasionally printed results from various best uniform polls. In every one of those polls I remember the Rams uniform was either 1st or 2nd.

Now, those exact same uniforms are only 6th?

Society is in a free fall; morally, ethically, aesthetically…
