I enjoyed the whole season but they definitely stuck the landing. Right up there with the Loki finale for me.

What a huge pop. Man that ruled. Might agree normally but they needed it out there for ratings. His signing and obviously his first promo are a huge shot at wwe.

RIP Alexi Laiho. https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/04/entertainment/alexi-laiho-children-of-bodom-death-intl-scli/index.html I know CoB might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but their first four albums were hugely impactful on me as I expanded my range in metal. Absolute virtuoso on guitar. One of the all-timers.

This. Service me!

That was a gaffi stick. Melee weapon of the Tusken raiders of Tatooine.

Yesssss!!!! And they’re touring with Municipal Waste in the spring.

AFFC was objectively not very good. Just slow and boring - way too much of Brienne wandering the wilderness. But I thought ADWD was much better (albeit not as good as books 1-3).

Bump.

I'm a hardcore book reader and wasn't upset with this in the least. One thing I think many readers are failing to process is that while ASOIAF is widely considered the best modern epic fantasy series, GRRM frequently goes out of his way to flip off fantasy tropes. Those who really believed his story would end up with the unknowing prince/chosen one being the great singular hero and savior of the world weren't being realistic about where this story was going. There isn't a singular protagonist in the books whose POV we always follow through the story. The POVs are split between many of the "main" characters, Arya being one of the largest. The other thing book readers fail to embrace is that the show and books are separate mediums and at this point largely different stories. A lot of folks seem offended that their pet theories didn't pan out, but they can still theorize on what's going to happen in the books because we still just don't know.

Random thought I just had as pertains to succession from Robert Baratheon. It's established in both the show that a king can legitimize ****s. So lets say Dany dies somehow (I don't think this is likely, but with GoT you never know). Jon has made clear he has no desire to rule, but he would be a king in theory. Jon could then legitimize Gendry (Robert's only known remaining **** after Cersei had the others purged way back when), abdicate the throne, and Gendry as the then only legitimate Baratheon, could be elevated. Again, don't think this is likely, just spitballing.

All they have to do is give him the Glovers' castle. Easy peasy.

Very few actual disciples, but at least one very high-profile one: https://www.mediamatters.org/research/2017/05/03/guide-donald-trump-s-relationship-alex-jones/216263

Seems like a great move by the Spurs. Kawhi was leaving after next year and could have just sat out again this season. Derozan is a good player who should fit right in in SA.

Derozan is understandably upset. He's saying that the Raptors told him during summer league in Vegas that he wouldn't be traded. What a joke of a franchise.

Pop is the GOAT, as always. "Oh, Kawhi, you want to go party in LA? Well, enjoy Canada, ****."
