http://planecrashinfo.com/lastwords.htm VASP flight 168 is particularly brief

Perhaps there should be a rule of at least two people in the ****pit at all times. If the pilot or copilot needs to leave the ****pit, then a stewardess has to at least be in the ****pit until they return. This would at least make it very hard to lock out the pilot/copilot.

They might be statistically much safer, but the terror factor of impending doom and almost zero chance you are going to survive a bad crash may be why some people would prefer trains or even cars.

Yeah without the black box, theres alot of speculation

Was at the game last night ... utter embarassment but I did manage to snag a foul ball. Dan Straily should be told the team flight leaves like 2 hours later than it actually does.

I'm the opposite. I'd rather have ~12 quality episodes than the inevitable filler/dragged out plotlines that comes with 20-24 episode seasons. Arrow was notably guilty of this (Anyone remember Bee lady episode?)

Nah man keep up the fight. Hopefully some type of balance can be struck. Personally I think there isn't a need for semi-auto rifles. Or reallly semi-autos in general, though perhaps I would allow revolvers. If they use a grandfather clause, like they did with full autos, they don't have to confiscate weapons from any existing owners, and therefore no reason to fight a war. The Las Vegas shooter probably gets a body count into the hundreds if he had been able to get his hands on something like an M249.

But was there a stipulation that they be forcibly expelled from the land?

The Witcher was a book series before it was adapted into a videogame so not quite like Castlevania. The Netflix series is supposed to be adopting the books. Thankfully, this one is finished unlike GoT.

Givens manages to blow a save despite being moved to 7th inning relief. Harsh.

Anyone looking forward to The Witcher this fall? There hasn't been a whole lot of info. Not sure how I feel about the Cavill casting, I haven't seen a whole lot of his work outside of Superman. This could be a pivotal role if he could pull it off.

Agree, that whole storyline dragged for probably 2-3 too many episodes. Latest season is great though. Looking forward to the final season, I think it is the right time to end the show.

Wow, we pitched an entire game without allowing a homerun. Imagine that.

Dinklage and Turner have already been in Xmen, and Turner has a major role in the new Xmen. I hope Dinklage gets some good roles down the line. He is an awesome actor.

Mancini won't be an FA until 2023. I think it would be jumping the gun trading him. I don't think we'd get a high return as teams could write off this year as an outlier. If this performance holds into next year though, and we still look to be years away from contending, AND we got a great offer, I would consider trading him next year.

I thought they did as well as a job as they could have seasons 1-4 which drew from the books. Prince Oberyn for instance, awesome in both the book and TV as portrayed by Pedro Pascal. Although they could have included Ned's "fever dream" in S1, it may have been hard to pull that off without either confusing the audience or giving up too much. Season 5 they started to go downhill with the major changes like Littlefinger giving Sansa to the Boltons, which was a total headscratcher for his character. It only made sense from a writers perspective of getting Sansa out of the Vale, because they didn't want to deal with that plot line, as it would introduce new characters, and source material was very thin (though maybe a missed opprotunity here - they could have had the Blackfish flee to the Vale and combine his plot there instead of dying stupidly like he does and having Littlefigner give Sansa to the Boltons). Another missed opportunity was the Northern lords turning on the Bolton/Frey alliance which many book readers suspect is the case. After S5, it was almost train wreck after train wreck, with a few decent moments here and there.

Its set up some great storylines and themes. I really hope the writers have an end game in mind and aren't winging it, like Lost. Hopefully then can wrap things up in one or two more seasons.

Iron Islands may have had fleet wiped out but so was everyone elses. The crown was in no position to do anything. All these kingdoms were independent before the Targaryans unified them. Many had unique cultural identities. King's Landing was almost wiped off the map and was no position to enforce rule, without the support of vassals. And why should they have their vassals support, when none had any reason to help the crown? The one vassal Bran had a direct link to, was now indepedent and weaked in any case. They are just going to bend over and take it up the *** because Tyrion gives a little speech ? Earlier seasons alluded to the current power in Kings Landing attempting to make alliances through marriages/etc. End of the series and Bran just takes the throne and eveyrone else shrugs. Bah.

I'm wondering why more of the representatives didn't push for independence. Particularly the Iron Islands and Dorne. I mean they had just granted it to the North, why not them? Also, Dorne and the Vale were totally untouched by the wars. Whats stopping them from marching to KL with their forces to try to seize power?

Ned didn't know the reason Jaime killed the king. He assumed it was Jaime picking the winning side, instead of preventing King's Landing from being burned down. Ned kept Jon's heritage from Robert. Its like what Jaime alluded to that bathtub scene with Brienne about conflicting vows. Protect the realm or obey the king/queen? You can't do both.

HBO has an excellent documentary on abortion called Abortion: Stories Women Tell. Documents a clinic in Missouri and the patients, doctors and protestors. Though it shows both the pro choice and pro life movement, I'd say its a bit more slanted towards the pro-choice perspective.

Mario Puzo/Francis Ford Coppolla pulled off the same basic theme in about 6 hours of film.

UK MPs aren't up for re-election until 2022, unless Parliament dissolves itself. If they did though, it looks like the right would split between Conservatives and Brexit. Which could mean that Labor regains the majority. So the Conservatives have no reason to do that and risk their majority. Edit: Apparently a vote of no-confidence only requires a simple majority, not a supermajority. Still they would need quite a few votes from across the aisle. Labor + SNP + Liberal Democrats would not be enough.

Yes that was season 5. If I remember right it was basically politics in Kings Landing / Mereen / the Wall, Arya training in Braavos, Sansa rape scene. Towards the end we have Cersei naked walk scene and Dany on Drogon Falkor type scene. I could be mixing it up with books 4 and 5 that season it mostly covered. (condensing those books into one season was one of D&Ds wiser moves)

I rewatched Breaking Bad recently. Awesome series. I got up to season 5 but thats when it starts to break down (harhar) with some "jump the shark" type moments, which get even worse in season 6. The Sopranos is pretty much a soap opera, which is easy to pick up at leave off because theres not much continuing storyline season to season. The Wire I rewatched all the way through. That was great all the way through.
