Pretty much. The book talked about what happened to Theon, but not as it actually happened. This will actually be pretty interesting if they do it right, because not only does it demonstrate Theon's degeneration, but it also allows them to slowly build up one of the major post-Joffrey villains.
Kinda shitty spot for the priest: One the one hand, he didn't want to die for some pagan religion. On the other hand, someone else he knew died in his place, and he couldn't volunteer at that point.
Lei Shen is painful in LFR. Raid I was in got to 7 stacks before we beat him (would have been 10, but we didn't get determination buffs on 3 of the wipes).
The expression on Tyrion's face when he saw what was in the crate was great. It was a sort of "holy fuck, I need to remember to never fuck with Varys" type of look ;P
Translation:
"These terrorists mean to undermine everything we stand for, because they hate our freedoms! My recommendation is we remove all constitutionally provided freedoms from this person in order to fight the terrorists!"
I can relate. I have a cousin who used to be fairly normal, but then he went to Italy for close to 10 yrs and he morphed into an Alex Jones/Infowars acolyte. I usually bring up failed "certainties" that he used to go on about, like the North America Euro and National ID, to which there is...
On my drive home listening to WEEI (it's a news station during all of this now), they mentioned that they were waiting for a tac team + bomb defuse unit to arrive. They are obviously concerned about IEDs/explosives.
It wouldn't be far fetched for Russia to provide intel that the older brother was radicalized when he was on that visit, then try to use that as a political cover to support further military actions there.
Sox game also postponed. Nooooooo.....
They tried to explain it by saying his "learn how things work" power was kinda like some type of vampire blood hunger, ie something he couldn't really control. Until he could control it ;P
When I was driving home, officials on the news stated that the Volunteer firemen that are MIA were actually trying to evacuate the nearby nursing homes.
Originally they wanted to do a reboot every season, but the characters became popular and they decided not to risk it. The only show I can think of that does a major reboot like that is American Horror Story.
Read the fake news articles that are sublinked at that site. They actually mention concerns regarding the super fast building of the nuclear powerplants and how it seems pretty suspect (safety issues aside). As for the rogue star, I guess it would depend on how large it is. If it were some...
I posted the backstory a page ago. I'm sure it will make it's way into the show eventually. I have to check the chronology, but i think the war roughly starts 7-10 yrs after arrival, then the arks blow up roughly 10 yrs or so after the war starts, which ends the war because the terraformers...
It's also best to hold off on alien tech nitpicks until we see what it can actually do. If a future episode shows folks flying in while the screen is up, then it would be a glaring plothole/indication of poor writing.
