One man’s reaction to episode Four:

“….went into granular detail about how Russian hackers stole and disseminated Democratic party emails, which were released at the perfect time to help boost the Trump campaign.”
————-

Well, I am conflicted on this. I like reading the truth about the Democratic Party. So, on the one hand, I appreciate ANY group shedding light on what the Corporate-profit-over-people-Dems are up to. Its a public service. The russians should get a medal.

On the other hand, sure, they preferred one Corporate-weasel (Trump) over the other more-anti-russian-corporate-weasel. So, yes they were playing favorites.

I will refrain from my mantra about how small this ‘interference’ was compared to all the mega-interferences the US is responsible for….blah blah blah.

Just my opinion.

What about the hound? He didnt get kilt did he?

“no assholes, no divas”

…is GrayWorm dead? I kinda hope so. Nevermuch liked his character. I just never bought into his
great-warrior persona. He just doesn’t have the body for it. I think he’s miscast as a tough, battle-hardened warrior. Reminds me of the frail, skinny Klingons of the early tv-star-trek shows.

If yer gonna cast a Warrior — cast someone with a warrior’s body.

Are ALL the Dothraki dead?

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.

Apologies, Nittany, if I’m saying something here you already knew:

The Night King reanimated all the dead, including his blue-flame dragon. That’s why he was able to wreak that havoc inside Winterfell later on.

And part of me was just thinking, “Oh, come on!! Enough is enough!!” The fighting was close to too much even before the reanimation — as in, it’s kinda just too unfair for words, going up against an endless horde of zombies. Like, the Rams having to face the Patriots defense without an offensive line and shackles on Goff’s feet.

The refs should have stepped in and flagged the Night King for unsportsman-like reanimations.

====================

Ahhh. I also was confused about the nightking’s dragon showing up alive. So he got re-animated. Its all problematic isnt it. I mean, how many times can he reanimate things? Over and over again? Can he re-animate pieces of things? Fingers? Eyeballs?

I agree on the “too unfair for words” feeling. There were times that was how i was feeling watching it. I dont know whether to give them credit for building that feeling or to criticize it. I guess its what they were goin for given the storyline. But it does raise questions about just how dark is ‘too dark’? Is there such a thing? Is there a limit?

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.

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]

“…On the phone with Rosen, Williams told him it looked like a deal would have to wait another day—if one were coming at all. “I’m fine,” Rosen said on the other end of the line. “It’s not like I’m some child soldier in Darfur. I’ve had it pretty good. I think it’s time I had some legitimate adversity handed to me.”

“I try to put everything into perspective,” Rosen tells The MMQB. “If I’m bummed I’m getting traded by the Arizona Cardinals, I try to think I’m living in an awesome condo in the middle of Scottsdale. I’m on a team, I have food on my table, a good family. Life could be a lot worse, so you count your blessings and try to put good energy out into the world.”

Larry Fitzgerald, the Cardinals’ future Hall of Famer, had given him perspective…”

Intriguing player. Rosen. There’s a lot to like in those paragraphs.

I have no idea how ANY QB could be evaluated on that Cardinal team last year. The entire offense was Katrina-level-bad.

“As has been the case almost from the moment the knee began bothering Gurley late last season, everything has just been, well, odd.”

Indeed. I bin sayin that since this gurley thing started.

Good article.

“…Les Snead has a written reminder to that effect on an office whiteboard.
‘The answers to your questions are basically right in front of you when you sit down and watch the kids play football on film when you do it December and April,” Snead said. “Take the testing — you always go back to the tape, right, and watch him play football.’
It may sound cliché, but as a Rams source told The Athletic, “It’s where we’ve had so much success the past few years.” Their draft board this year reflects the emphasis they put on production over measurables….
===========================

That part made me think of the old stories I’ve seen on the Gil Brandt Cowboys. Back when they became all enamored with computers and measurables back in the early 70s.

Measurables and Production. Usually they match, I suppose. But when they dont?…

Yeah, the general election would be easier than winning the Dem Primary. The Dems (Wash Post, NyTimes, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, will smear Bernie ENDLESSLY and TIRELESSLY during the primaries.

But I think the voters are getting tired of the media, and I dont think it will be as effective as in the past.

But what the hell do i know. I picked Hostetler in the primary against Warner. And I thought Secretariat would finish third.

I think Bernie is the next Prez.

I dont say that because I’m some sorta bernie fan, coz I’m not a Bernie fan. I just think he will eek out a win among the Dems and then eek out a win in the general election. I think the undecideds will choose him over Trump. Its all about that ten percent that can go either way.

I’m not crazy about the Henderson pick, but what do i know. He’s sposed-to-be a game-breaking, defense-threatening ‘change-of-pace’ back, but he runs a 4.49 forty.

I could be wrong, but doesnt about every Linebacker in the NFL run that fast? Is that really fast for the NFL ?

Ditto.

I like it when they sign Suh, Talib, Peters, Fowler.

Lets just do ‘that’ every year.
