    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Gendry is a bastard with no proper lineage. Bastards are rarely legitimized in part due to the Blackfire Rebellions that wrecked shit up for generations. edit - I would expect Faceless Men to be sterile as well, likely from all the poisoning

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    In the show does Rob have the decree written up to legitimize Jon Snow? In the books it's drafted and I believe sent and is then never mentioned again.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    On my reread of book five I skipped all the Dany chapters and Tirion chapters and it was legit good. Book four was still confusing the second time around.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This is how I feel as well from the prologue of the first book all the way up to the last moments we spend with Jon on the wall - all of this is petty squabbling as death approaches.

    The Twilight Zone

    I'm sure this will match up to the original series' hard take downs on Eisenhower and not at all completely date the project.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    One of my favorite little bits of the last book was the prologue where everyone on what's left of the Small Council is bullshitting about how that's just obviously Glegane walking around.

    Reign of Fire is not bad at all but I do have a fondness for films with a goofy premise that don't wink at the camera.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The outcome I wanted was for Cersei to declare Sir Strong as her champion. The High Sparrow asks if anyone will fight for the church and a lowly gravedigger steps forward. In addition to the symmetry of the brothers as rivals each has, in their own way, died and returned. It doesn't really even...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    She doesn't destroy it, she brings it back to life. In the books the ritual involves breathing fire in to the dead versus what we get in the show but I'm still expecting it to happen.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    From my reading and my watching my impression is they're going to get crushed. I do like the opposite theory however quite a bit, glorious victory and a conclusion to the Night King's story before the march on King's Landing and reunification of the Seven Kingdoms, roll credits. But I think...

    I always figured Ghost cost too much to animate all the time so he just sorta got phased out.

    Reading the books way back when I was waiting for the walkers to be revealed as the only hope versus a psychotic Danny bent on burning everything everywhere. I did not think much of her. Pls no time manipulation

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't know if it will manifest in the show but in the books the North really is super fucked. The Boltons in Winterfell are eating horses as there's no food and Ramsey destroyed all the greenhouses, the refugee crisis at the Wall is massive, fields have been burned, stores looted, Stannis is...

    The Twilight Zone

    The film's versions of It's a Good Life and Kick the Can are both pretty good. There were a period of time where quite a few anthology horror films got made even though the structure is often a bit hokey. Tales from the Crypt ended up taking the premise of Creepshow and Twilight Zone the Movie...

    American Gods

    Legends and Lore, 1984. I had this geezer orthodox Jewish philosophy teacher that had long winded discussions about belief in relation to godhood. My knowledge of DnD was of key use in participating in the discussion. Honestly, the idea that belief = power goes as far back as cave paintings.

    The Twilight Zone

    If the new show shat on collectivism, atheism and totalitarianism as hard as the old show these people would bitch and moan endlessly. Give me a scene for scene shot for shot remake of The Obsolete Man, I fucking dare you.

    It's not that he's a pussy, it's that he has a breakthrough at the end of the series and then that character growth is reset for the End of Evangelion where he goes mega super pussy mode as the world is ending. Make a fucking decision you fuck my god lying there is not a decision fuck. Then...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I blame a lot of that on the show running out of time. Danny should by all rights be just about fucking unstoppable given her troops, allies and resources. She's been put over super strong. Unfortunately the story needs her to job a bunch of times in a row to get things where they need to be...

    It's a gentle shilling though. I suspect this bag is on the less expensive side of things to get people to also spring for a mount.

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    The defensive values of Necromancer (and Magician) pets are reduced until LDoN unlocks. It's a major nerf to the low level pets but it's manageable on the 48 and 59 pets. Stick to grouping during most of the leveling process and you'll get by fine.

    I always thought hyperspace was a FTL-workaround where you are taking shortcuts through subspace (or the Star Wars equivalent) rather than just going a zillion miles per hour. I guess not?

    If you liked some of what they were doing with the show the comic is pretty good. There is something like 180+ issues of it now and it has yet to make me regret bothering keeping on it.

    I can't think of one. After the Negan arc is the arc with the Whisperers and while time passes between the two it's nothing like seven years.

    I haven't watched the show but I did not find them to be lame in the comic. They were fairly menacing and dangerous and skilled at directing zombie hoards at things they want to not exist.

    The Twilight Zone

    The Twilight Zone was so memorable due to Rod Serling's writing and the amount of excellent short stories that the show pillaged for episodes. It was also willing to vary wildly in tone and style from episode to episode. In the same season you follow around a former SS officer as he returns to...

    Paradoxically if he was as bad as he appeared he wouldn't be anywhere near as entertaining. I think he was just someone that was very shy and a bit awkward and Twitch lets the part of him that is smart and funny make it through. I've known people that were like that, where it took a bit of work...

    Pick the class you have the most nostalgia for and then be sad that Bards aren't anywhere near as cool as you thought they were and your very existence is cheapened by everyone having boxed Bards.
