An experimental treatment with bacteria-fighting viruses may have helped save the life of a British teenager with a critical "superbug" infection, according to a new report.

Valyria is Rome..The lore behind it is taken almost one for one from Roman lore. Even the Targs were named after one of the original Roman Kings. (This is why I was poking fun at @Szlia for the modernity thing :p In the books, dragons are literally symbolic of modernity. The fire of industry...

Yeah, its got to be the camera work. I realized after watching it again, the original hardly has any shots of the actual parade. They always do tight shots of aspects of the parade, like the swordsmen or the dancers, or of Aladdin himself, but it makes it seem like the parade is massive because...

Its amazing how they made such intricate and colorful costumes look so fucking cheap. Is it the camera work here? Or what? Because that looked, well, cheap..

What's sad is given the state of Star Wars, and Pre-Season 6 GOT--there was a real possibility of GoT having more of a lasting cultural impact than Star Wars in the future. They burned down a chance to be on the ground floor of the "new star wars" so they could hop on the carcass of the old.

Uriel has it spot on, imo. Skill up support for lowered cool downs if you are actively using them, then DPS for lowered cool downs, then DPS for damage is usually how I prioritize. (Caveat being that some DPS its a waste to lower CDs on because of various factors, its rare, but like Violet its...

This. People really misinterpret Martin's wry view of prophecies and wisdom. Almost all the prophecies in the book come true, just never in the way that is expected.

I agree with this. I don't actually feel like any of the characters are ending up in the wrong places, its just they got there wrong. As I said before, there were plenty of hints Dany was going to be ruthless and vicious, but the way they showed her becoming that was all wrong. The whole scene...

Always love videos of comedians who can make other comedians break character and laugh. That's always the sign of someone whose got a pretty amazing read on people in addition to having a well developed comedy routine.

The lady turned her fucking baby into a demon inside of her and made her barren for the rest of her life. But sure, Dany taking revenge for someone destroying her life, poisoning her husband, killing her baby in the most horrific way possible and making her barren is foreshadowing genocide of...

That was the point all along. See, its really genius writing! They've had this theme in there for a while, that the show itself is dying, because it is!

All in all, I would say if they wanted to keep Dany's character in line with how she was, the final should have gone like this. When they ring the bells, she hops over to her men and says "no one else dies unless they raise a sword to you. But the people who ordered this defiance will burn, all...

You missed a word, clearly. A good ending can make up for some pain, sure. Nothing can actually save this train wreck now, but some satisfying ending can leave people with "man, if only they'd done this to get there", rather than "why did I watch beyond season 5?"

This would actually make up for some of the stupid writing. Something extremely dark, like all the wars to remove to targs only ended up with everything EXACTLY how it was before. Right down to Starks being burned in Winterfell and the city on fire.

He should have stuck with his plan to skip 5 years and only hint back to it. Let the audience piece together what they want. His inability to let go his political plots and skip time is what is killing him, as you said, he's drowned himself in a bog.

They could have showed how Dany didn't see sailing ships that have a max speed of roughly 11 MPH in GOOD conditions can maneuver out from behind a cliff face, aim and fire before Dany or any of their scouts see them? I mean, they could have shot the scene with the ships hiding behind the cliff...

That was not am ambush, that was a bunch of boats rolling up on a clear day and killing a dragon. I know they WANTED it to be an ambush. But they were not able to convey that AT ALL to the audience...Because of lazy writing. The only thing they conveyed is that dragons suck when they need to...

The problem is, she had a hard ass streak in her, yes. But it never won out and made her erratic. You can say "but this time she lost X and Y important people and it made her upset"...But the issue is, Dany has been LOWER than this before. She's watched the love of her life die, been left to...

No, you made up a post-hoc theme that did not exist prior to that episode to explain a single instance of the dragons sucking when the entire theme before then had been they were effectively weapons of mass destruction. That theme was simply 'forgotten" when it was convenient and they needed to...

Yeah, these are TOTALLY themes of the show, and not something some people pulled out of their ass to explain the stupid writing. No. It was lazy writing, and abandoned the moment they needed the Dragons to move the plot. The dragons suck when they need to, and they are atom fucking bombs when...

Hey guys and @Szlia at what point tonight did Drogon run into logistics and modernity? When he wiped out the ENTIRE fleet that last week a small portion of wrecked him? An ENTIRE fleet armed with the "anti dragon tech" that they prepared and essos didn't which was CLEARLY the reason they won...

I'm glad you brought up the origin story of the night king, because his very existence is contradictory with this point. Combine his origin with his deal with Craster for male babies and you see he's not a force of nature, clearly he's capable of interacting and making alliances, and he was at...

Don't do Sol, by the end of the event you should have enough copies to 6 star him for free (We'll have 4 extra copies at least, I have 3 total copies now, and there is one more for main quest reward and one more for tournament hard mode reward...so it will be extremely cheap by next week even if...

Until a few weeks ago he was kind of garbage. But they buffed him and he's really good now. He's a knight, which is a class that has one of the most powerful artifacts in the game, Aurius--it makes everything easier late game (But people don't use it much because knights are kind of hard to slot...

Amarintha is a better late game unit than a starter unit, IMO. She's an excellent "support/DPS". She's also a pretty amazing farming unit, too. But as Nyx said, not as good as Sez/Vild would be. But imo, she's better than those two in late game content. Ken is, imo, the best possible pull...

A franchise with 22 films over 10 years is going to break all records. Meanwhile somehow its "exhaustion" that makes Star Wars fail. =-/ Least they were classy enough to give the nod.

I feel like an Anvil is going to fall on my head, I've been crazy lucky in this game. After getting ML Ara, I got a dupe Ken on a free pull, then a week later I got a Violet (Really like him--attack break is so undervalued, its an amazing debuff), then I did a couple mystics and got Kayron...

I get you're just trying to use Mary Sue ironically because you thik it will piss off the "redneck trolls"--but you sound like a retard. First, being powerful doesn't make you a Mary Sue. What makes you a Mary sue is not having to struggle with anything external. If the only thing you have to...

You realize you can kill bad people and still be a bad person yourself, right? What are you 2 years old? First, killing bad men helps other bad men by eliminating rivals, you twat. There doesn't need to be a noble reason for it. Second, there is a temporal aspect to this. You can do good and...

There was zero reason for the Night King to care about Bran. There was a hand waived explanation of him being the "memory of the world", but why does he need to personally kill him? Why does he need to strike the blow? What connection is there? Why not just DROWN the fucker in undead? Is he...

In a normal battle this would be believable. Throughout history even experienced men tend to break at 15-20% casualties. So armies can look like they are wiped out but in reality what happened was everyone split up and ran for the hills. (And even large seas of men can look a lot "less" if they...

In the Comics Mysterio was always one of the more sympathetic villains. He was a wizard in his work (Special effects) but his bosses/industry fucked him over. He realizes he knows enough to commit some crimes to fund his (I think) super hero career and make it look like he's a hero trying to...

That actually looks really good. I like how they are using the multi-verse travel bullshit to further the story and explain itself. Could be interesting. Also seems like they are going full Iron-Spider for Tony's replacement, which given Parker is also a kind of genius in his own right might...

It really is about laziness. The overall story is mediocre, not great but serviceable--what kills it is laziness. Take the ambush scene. Dany losing a dragon to an ambush could have been a tension filled scene that made up sympathize with Dany's mistake and anger. Imagine if that scene had...

Pretty much what I thought every moment of this episode save for Hound and Arya riding together.

One of the later generation Targ dragons (I think during the civil war) died the same way Dany's did, attacking ships and the ships had ballista like weapons that harpooned it and drug it down. So these weapons did exist. Its why the Targs never deployed dragons without riders and only ever...

It's not part of an SJW conspiracy, he's a great actor. What's bullshit is when people feel holding SJWs to their own book of rules is somehow wrong. Either everyone should be comfortable with whatever race playing whatever, or no one should be. Pretty simple.

Does this logic work for black panther? There is no real Wakanda, it doesn't exist. Why can't Wakanda have white people? Why isn't Wakanda a multicultural society? Oh, I know, I know...because Wakanda is actually about race, right? But the warrior race a group of white people developed in the...

He's getting close to realizing the truth that everyone is Screamco.
