    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Probably not to the same detail, but pretty sure most people knew why Oberyn was pissed...before and during the fight. People were pissed when he died (show watchers I mean), yet another in the long line of people that were set up to finally give the Lannister's their due.

    I guess I'm in the minority that liked the scene with Varys and Tyrion. Maybe the dialogue was a step down from some previous seasons, but the actors still carry the scene well enough that it really didn't matter. They got their point across just fine. I really do wonder what the end game is...

    Right, which is why from a pure show perspective, nothing wrong with it other than it being a very hasty plot they are shedding/changing. I get why book people might be annoyed, but they should have expected more big changes. I kind of got tired of all the "this guy is a badass" power level...

    I get book people being butthurt over Hotah, but Barristan at least mowed down ~10 guys before buying it. Hotah getting offed with a knife in the back from a 15 year old is not the same at all.

    Right, but training for what? Training for Nate at 170 is not at all the same as needing to cut to 145 to try to fight Aldo or Frankie (when we're talking about the scenario where one of those guys gets hurt)

    Feast or famine so far. Nailed Caps and Pens, Tampa needed only one line to beat Detroit, and Tavares (and some OT luck) carried the Isles. Nailed the Blues, but Kings got smoked. Stars took one extra game, and same could be true of Anaheim if they get it done in Game 7 (although Boudreau in...

    Shit, there doesn't need to be tinfoil on to expect bad reffing. That's pretty much the standard. Maybe I shouldn't say all around bad, just completely not consistent. It'll be both ways too, just like it was for us and the Flyers. Btw, laughable that it took 6 games of Schenn jumping into...

    Interesting to read how many people are saying we struggled against the Flyers, when in reality we dominated most of that series and it required a miracle in goal to extend it to 6. Flyers also much tougher Round 1 match up than the Rags with how each was playing in the 2nd half of the season...

    This gripe I can understand, the hour seemed to fly by. Might work better if they focused on only half the stories an episode so you'd get twice as much substance. Then just alternate which half of stories is getting a look every other episode. Sometimes feels like you're just getting fed...

    Would have to rewatch that episode to see the tone of her surprise, I always assumed Thoros was kind of the laughing stock drunkard of the religion, so the fact he was showing a power that I would assume be pretty damn strong would be surprising as fuck, but I can't remember exactly how she...

    I'm annoyed they got such a well known actor to play such a token role (although obviously we all expected it to have more meat than this). But overall I didn't like the change to the Dorne story to begin with. If this speeds shit along, I'm all for it.

    We're going to need more from the 2nd line (Kuznetsov's) to have a shot against the Pens. Our #1 line carried most of the scoring in this series.

    But there's a difference between being projected high and being "franchise QB" material. There's QB desperate teams every year, and whoever the top one is, they're going to go relatively high. These aren't RB's we're talking about. Everything I heard through the end of the regular season was...

    Elurin, Convo just wants someone else on his "this move was a GREAT move, you'll see!" train. For me, Norman will have to play top 5 in the league level for at least 4 of those years to justify this. Just worried what this contract will keep us from being able to do next offseason.
