It's mindnumbing trial and error. I had to get a new assay working that there wasn't a great model for in our lab and I didn't have techs or others with an experience to call upon. It was almost 2 years of my life getting it to work reasonably well with repeatable results. Produced 4-5 results...

I am sticking with my prediction from last season that it was Maggie. The fact that Gimple is suggesting 2 deaths only serves to fuel that prediction. I cannot wait for the internet rage of them beating a pregnant woman to death.

As someone who has a PhD in a hard science from an Ivy League school, you are pretty close to correct... at least in the life sciences. The part of science that requires a brain is the designing the question, identifying the most elegant experiments to ask the questions, interpreting the results...

Fair enough. If you're looking for a reskinned 1942, I see no reason from what I've played so far today that you won't get that.

I know... it just makes the gameplay feel a lot worse. Historically accurate is one thing, but if it reduces the enjoyment... I don't know. Next thing you'll see if the tanks randomly having an oil leak and breaking down. Accurate, but hardly fun.

Mine was in my junk folder. Supposedly you needed to enroll before August 21 and that was it. Game feels pretty meh right now. I'll still probably buy and play, but nothing feels really new. Also, I guess because they want the weapons to be "old", they made them feel clunky and inaccurate to...

Honestly, not really. There are a few decent episodes, but this show became a real shit show. I'll continue to watch, because well... Yay, Zombies, but this FTWD really missed a great opportunity to show the unfolding zombie apocalypse as people experienced it, but they decided to do all that in...

See, I actually think it's a little different issue than that. I think he has a general idea of who ends up where, but I don't think he has a clue on how to get them there in any sort of coordinated and interesting way. It's almost like he scattered characters in the wind to create drama and...

I just don't understand why people seem to root for these games to fail. I mean I understand that the vast majority of them will suck, but I still hold out hope that there will eventually be another good MMO with good group content and minimal P2W elements. Call me a dreamer.

The show writers suggest that Meyers will do what former Presidents do.... Negotiate hostage releases, monitor third world country elections, etc. No idea how well that will work for a show where there are a lot of running jokes and bits, but that's where this is supposed to be headed in the...

Kevan was in the Sept. Toast.

My feelings are that the enemies will be at all sides for Cersei just as they were for the Mad King. She will succumb to madness and decide that because of her first successful wildfire experience, she will use the remaining stores to burn King's Landing to the ground, because "if she can't have...

This. If Cersei wasn't there and Tommen wasn't there under these circumstances it was because "there" wasn't a safe place to be for whatever reason. It would be one thing to think that Cersei could have fled the city. It is another thing entirely for Cersei AND Tommen, who has drunk the cool...

I think the High Sparrow was starting to understand and agree with what Margery was saying about this being a trap. The look in his eyes is definitely one of doubt in the final moments. He typically has a very smug sense that he knows how to play the game, but for his final moments... he was...

As I understand it, the vast majority of the tax credits that GoT uses are UK-specific and not actually from the EU. That is not even mentioning the above that this will take 2 years to come to pass... at least.

I would suspect it to be a moment of passion where there doesn't appear to be any other way. Something like "Cersei burns Great Sept to ground killing Tommen. People revolt again her as "the crown". She prepares to burn the peasants alive. Jaime tries to persuade her otherwise, but she has gone...

I think Jaime did the practical, pragmatic thing honestly. He had no interest wasting the time or troops sieging a castle for years. I don't view his decision to end it without bloodshed to be some noble cause.... more just expedient. As for Brienne, I think she is the cliche "girl from the...

I would argue that choking the life out of his twin sister to prevent her from potentially killing thousands of innocent people is both dramatic and powerful. It also would also serve as a nice juxtaposition to his being the "Kingslayer". I'm not sure that Cersei has any redeeming quality to...

That's fair. I think even book Jaime has a long way to go to really redeem himself even in his own eyes.

Jaime's had a redemeption arc? Jaime's redemption arc won't be complete until he chokes the like out of Cersei and marches the Lannister army North to fight in the War for the Dawn. Wouldn't even shock me if he himself killed the Night's King thus fulfilling his story arc as the "Kingslayer"...

Total guess with no spoilers... I will say Tommen for sure. Likely the High Sparrow and many sparrows. Those have been pretty heavily telegraphed. I also think we will see some Freys die too.

GRRM has already described the ending as bitter sweet, so I could totally see the North decimated by their internal war and have them get mostly rolled over by the WW. It probably takes a dire situation to get Dany and her army, the Lannisters (under a redeemed Jaime who kills crazy Cersei)...

I think that Littlefinger in spite of his massive manipulative streak genuinely loves Sansa (as a projection of Catelyn). He may take advantage of the situation through manipulation, but I don't think he would openly try to hurt her. I could be wrong, but that's where I see this.

Yep. The majority of soldiers in Westeros aren't trained all that well. Basically hand normal dudes some armor and a sword and say go for it. John was raised noble which means they receive training from birth from an expert. He doesn't have to be amazing to be better than 95% of the other soldiers.

I thought Riverrun was great. Was actually surprised that the Masters attacked Mereen so quickly, which is good, will be lots of battles to conclude season. King's Landing has been barable. Arya line was bad, but at least she's coming back to Westeros as a badass, so maybe it pays off by the end.

I haven't read any spoilers yet, but my guess is that the outcome of the Cersei stuff results in Tommen's death. Would be the ultimate devastation for Cersei to contribute to her last son getting killed.

But the real question for Rerolled... Does Brienne do anal?

I don't think he even needs to wait to have that happen. We'll see Winds of Winter, but probably not Dream of Spring until after the show completes simply because it takes him 3-5 years to get his shit together.

I don't know how the Night's King in the show can be the Night's King in the book from legend. In the book, the Night's King fell in love with a White Walker. How could that Night's King fall in love with a white walker... but the Night's King in the show is clearly being shown to be the first...

I thought they made some pretty heavy suggestions about Arya. She has been sent to kill a woman... who plays Cersei in a play. In the play, the character who plays Sansa wants to get rid of the actress who plays Cersei so she can take on that role.... To me, it seems too convenient for Arya...

What the Fuck was that episode... and as a midseason finale? Basically, all of the characters go pretty much insane concurrently asking some pretty ridiculous questions about whether thewalkingdead are really dead? Stupid.

Guys, we are really going off on a tangent here. Can we get back on track and discuss all this Dothraki anal?

Yeah, I agree. Every different group has their own gimmick. I mean I get theft and murder do to the competition for resources, but it seems like so many of the people we meet do take a great deal of pleasure from these actions rather than viewing them as a means to survive.

Renter laws in certain states are so atrociously skewed in favor of those renters over landlords that shit like this happens. I've seen more than a few horror stories to know that I'm never renting space. What needs to happen is that Jarred or a friend needs to rent from the squator and force...

While the whole "walkingdead" issue doesn't pass the biological smell test, the idea of societal collapse is very real. Separate the whole rising corpse issue for a second, if there were a highly lethal disease that spread rapidly worldwide with fairly high mortality, you would see society fray...

Friend of mine suggested that the Tyrell's could use the "Get Maergery Back" excuse to bring their armies into King's Landing as a mechanism to seize control from the Lannisters. I'm not sure I buy it, but it would be a very Game of Thrones thing to do.

Clearly because when you are trying to illustrate just how badass of a swordsman someone is you just add more swords.

To me, its a tip of the cap to the book readers and, even if the show watchers don't understand it all, illustrates just how strange a decision it would be to leave several of the key defenders of the realm back from the battles in the North. I am not sure that if I hadn't read the books, I...

One of the best shows on television now. Just wish there was a better bridge to John Oliver than that POS show VEEP.
