re: GoT: House of the Dragon Season 3 Official Thread [BOOK SPOILERS]

Possibly.
I have a feeling we see some battles condensed for screens though.
Even though I’m sure we also get some Alys and Aemond filler (hopefully not as long in the tooth as her and Daemon last season). They’ve gotta build that relationship up a bit.

I do not believe anyone mention that we start to see the Queen go mad. There were, IMO, quite a few moments where they showed her confused and mentally disengaged. Am I the only one that noticed this, that the queen is losing it under stress.
Her cheese is definitely sliding off the cracker. At the very least she’s incredibly overwhelmed and even if she’s not full on Targaryen mad, she’s not very stable mentality.

So how much longer will the series continue after Daemon and Aemond kill each other? It seems once Rhaenyra and those two are dead, it won't last long as HBO isn't really setting it up that way. Dumb because there is still some good stuff that takes place.
blueboy had a similar thought that this season will end at God’s Eye and the last season will be everything up to the Hour of the Wolf.
IMO it’s do able when you still have Corlys, Larys, and some of the younger characters of age to be more formidable. You’ll also still have the Winter Wolves and everybody loves a Stark.

Everyone seems to be raving about this actress
Samantha Morton is an incredibly good actress. Made me sad when The Serpent Queen was cancelled because she was absolutely in her element int that.
She played Mary Queen of Scots in the Cate Blanchet Elizabeth: The Golden Age movie and in Minority Report. That's probably where most Americans have seen her outside of The Walking Dead.

Episode 2 ended with daemon and rhaenyra surrounded by dozens of people that wanted to kill them in the throne room. Am I to just assume they slayed all of them? The episode ended on a bit of a cliffhanger then we go to the next episode and it’s like that never happened.
If you go back and watch, the leader of the Gold Cloaks (the City Watch that Daemon used to lead in earlier seasons) swore their allegiance to Daemon and Rhaenyra. Forcing the Hightower men (that moved in between Daemon and Rhaenyra and the throne) to surrender since they were outnumbered.
There was no cliffhanger with that.

When I worked middle school, I worked at a school with a large ESL population. A good chunk of those kids went on to play collegiate soccer with a handful beyond that. And they were all immigrants and either lower middle or lower class.
I will never understand why we haven’t maximized that.

Men’s national team? No. I think I give that nod to Donovan.
Mia Hamm is still one of the best American soccer players I’ve ever seen.

My fear is they’re dumbing it down for the audience who couldn’t understand the nuance of what happened in the book.

AAU has destroyed basketball.
You’re wildly missing the point.
You still feed into a college system that then gives you the best professional basketball players in the world. And you don’t have to grow up in a rich family to make that happen. Eric Bledsoe was living out of his car two years before he ended up at Kentucky.
You can’t be selective about where the talent comes from when you’re competing with the world in a sport that isn’t your #1 men’s sport.

When you bank on upper middle class academy kids for your homegrown talent, you’re not going to find much grit.
Build the developmental program like basketball has built AAU. Find the sponsors. Go get the talent even if their parents aren’t in a country club.

Where are you getting the world class training for them?
The same way basketball monopolized shoe companies to sponsor AAU in basketball so it was accessible to anyone with talent.

the best US player is a guy who's parents are Nigerian, moved to London, and accidentally had a baby in NY because an airline wouldn't let his pregnant mom fly home. So, yeah, probably. Thousands of the best American athletes play every professional sport other than soccer.
America will never have their best athletes playing soccer while the NBA and NFL exist.
The US needs to make developmental levels more affordable for the Average Joe. Make it financially competitive with travel ball and 7 on 7. The pay to play is hurting the potential.

I played on a really shite team my freshman year of high school. Girl’s HS soccer.
WE never even gave up a goal that bad. And we lost every game that season.
