    2018-19 NHL Season Thread - Caps were not suck last year edition

    We've seen Rask play at a high level, but it's crazy how Binnington has kind of come out of nowhere this year and has to be up there for Conn Smythe consideration.

    I agree if he turns out like he was playing 2 years ago before he got hurt...but if he doesn't reach that level again, it could go south.

    Source: Eagles sign Wentz to $128M extension That's a good bit of cash for Wentz. I know there was a bit of inevitability to it...but not sure Eagles fans can be completely sold on this deal this early

    It's not TV, it's HBO! Ranking every full-length series thus far.

    Westworld should almost have 3 rankings...just season 1 (maybe higher than their ranking of #23), both seasons together (no way should it be #23, more like 40+), and just season 2 (like #60).

    Yeah I'm guessing many like me pretty much thought it was done deal it was going to be shitty, and hadn't re-checked the thread to see actual positive reviews.

    Aladdin (2019)

    I'd say there was a general consensus for awhile on this that it was going to be absolute shit, Will Smith as genie blasphemy to Robin Williams, etc. If you avoided the thread around time it actually came out would have missed the actual positive reviews for it. I'm hopeful that reviews are...

    It's not TV, it's HBO! Ranking every full-length series thus far.

    It's just hard for me to imagine literally ranking 74 shows from so many different genres 1 by 1. I mean the bottom 5-10 should only be the clearly shitty ones.

    It's not TV, it's HBO! Ranking every full-length series thus far.

    You're basically agreeing with me. I would have had it somewhere around like...30? I don't know. Claiming it was only better than 5 shows on the whole is laughable, as bad as claiming only season 1 was good. It's not like everything after S3 or so was all bad either...hell I enjoyed the...

    Entourage that far down the list is criminal...even with some of the later seasons. Guy acting like it should have ended after 1 season is crazy, S2 and 3 were both great.

    I only laughed because they were not in the driver seat for the PL (which they didn't win, so you were wrong btw). Credit for a great season, pretty much any other year it would have been good enough to win it, but even at the time, City just had to handle business to win it and they did.

    Swear Warriors got shafted on that out of bounds call with 51 seconds left too, seemed clear there was another touch by the ball spin even after Green touched it with his other hand an extra time.

    Although of the child/teen actors on Game of Thrones, Maisie Williams arguably has gotten the most work outside of it already. Whether or not that continues, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Did New Mutants get cancelled btw? She's supposed to be in that but might help her if it doesn't...

    Bronn had a small part in John Wick 3, Davos had a part in some mini series The Hot Zone recently. I think some people's estimations about the lack of work some of the actors will get going forward won't be proven to be true...of course, that is saying nothing on whether certain ones deserve...

    I think that's what made today's game so much worse to watch...both of the 2nd legs in the semis were just unreal, to have this as the followup was disappointing.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Pretty sure at the time when VI was filmed, they knew it was the last film for that "version" of the Star Trek crew, that's why it was such a good joke to throw in there. Maybe I'm off on that, but it seemed a nice put a bow on it moment for that crew. Maybe Arya ends up killing herself...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Freaking out maybe not the best phrase, but people going a little over the top over a one line statement. It's not an arc (unless they're really going to do some Arya the Explorer sequel), it's just the standard "off to new adventures" ending. It's not like Kirk at the end of Star Trek VI was...

    She kind of telegraphs she isn't going to just be hanging around Winterfell or with Gendry when she refuses his marriage proposal. She was going to King's Landing prior to coming home to Winterfell to kill Cersei, but heard the Starks had taken WF back. Of the Starks she's clearly the most...

    Well sure, even stuff that never actually happened. But we're talking needle in a haystack unless I missed the pages of Arya ending complaints versus the major problems people had with Danearys/Jon/Tyrion/Bran shit.

    Didn't even realize people were complaining about Arya's ending. Aside from the ninja lol kill on the NK, was pretty much fine with the rest of Arya's season. It was all the major dumb shit most people had an issue with.

    Not like that, but there was some acknowledgement that she was right that Ramsay would figure out a way to get him "off his game" so to speak, which he did by playing that game with Rickon prior to the battle to get Jon to expose himself and his army.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I will say that him and Sansa, after Theon helps her escape and Brienne and Pod save them, do have a "making up" set of scenes where Sansa acknowledges she was horrible to him when she was younger and they basically know they need to stick together. After the Battle of the Bastard, Jon and her...

    As I noted above with Szilla, I don't think they even showed Jon's parentage as having any real meaningful impact on getting Dany to snap, either. Not when compared to how they portrayed her reactions to losing Jorah, a 2nd dragon, and Missandei. Desipte getting upset Jon told his "family" the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think the answer to number 1 is no, not in any meaningful way. At least the way they wrote this season. The things Szilla and others are trying to give it credit for I feel other factors actually were the real driving force behind, and I believe its obvious Varys would "betray" or turn away...

    Again we're just going to have to agree to disagree on what sent her into Mad Queen mode then, because Jon didn't stab her because he knew he was a Targ, he stabbed her because he knew she was not what was best for the world anymore. He never wanted the throne anyways, it was never discussed...

    It amounted to virtually nothing, other than the Starks semi plotting against Dany (or at least Sansa)...but all of the Starks already had reason to plot against her b/c neither Dany nor Arya likes her in general, and Bran apparently knows everything so he's not doing anything to work against...

    Apparently Missandei/Jorah/dragon deaths were far more important issues in driving her to "rule by fear" even though she had already won when the Lannister army was surrendering.
