I thought last night was one of the better episodes of the season. Roddy was great, and the High Septon scene made sense given that he was openly backing Aegon’s claim.

Ulf’s turn bothered me more. I can buy him becoming resentful, but the full betrayal felt too abrupt and too conveniently timed. HotD sometimes spends forever setting things up, then rushes the character decisions that actually need more development.

Still, I think Season 3 was much better than Season 2. Not peak GoT, but definitely not garbage either.
That's some 35D chess right there.

Extremists are in power and they will never capitulate. Iran’s governing system has demonstrated that regime survival takes precedence over the welfare of ordinary Iranians. The bigger mistake is confusing the Iranian regime with the Iranian people.

Bingo. Ideology vs. Economic. They'll obliterate their country before they'll ever concede. Sad thing is, that's their leadership. We know several Iranians that live in the area. Wonderful, hard working people. The country used to be a westernly oriented, culturally progressive country. Probably the most of any Middle Eastern country. They actually still go visit family there ocassionally. My take from listening to them is there's still a large portion of the population that doesn't support the fanaticism that's in power, but they're powerless and will be for the foreseable future.

Was an interesting video. Thanks for sharing. Certainly raised a couple of points to look into.

Seems like a lot of the underlying reporting is legit, especially the pressure on Iran’s oil industry and what’s happening around the Strait of Hormuz.

But he also mixes in a fair amount of speculation. The biggest one is the idea that Khamenei may already be dead — that hasn’t been confirmed.

Good source to keep an eye on, though, and it's good to also cross-check the bigger claims with other sources.

Does Sean Bean die in the first season?



No, he actually broke his ultimate curse and survived Season 1! Outsmarted Guy of Gisborne, and Robin Hood, after a great fight scene, chose mercy over revenge, so he’s officially coming back for Season 2!

A vile human, but that ultimate title goes to either the Earl of Huntingdon or Guy. The Earl probably pissed me off the most! :rotflmao:

I watched them all. Really campy, but if you're into it, it's a hoot. :rotflmao:

My only real issue was how many black people were celebrating a man hitting a woman with a chair while the woman was laying on the ground.

It's all part of the blurring of gender roles in America and the pansification of the American male.


Agreed, and that was uncalled for. Could have seriously injured her or worse. The man who swung it pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.

Arrests

The pontoon boaters ignored repeated warnings to clear the Harriott II’s dock and then attacked co-captain Dameion Pickett when he tried to move their boat. Several participants pleaded guilty to assault or harassment charges; Reggie Ray, who swung the folding chair, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.

Ultimately, five people were ultimately arrested and charged:

The commentary in that Instagram clip! :lol:

"Big Body Got His Signal Off"

"They're in the F*** Water Now"

A day to remember.

Robin Hood...

Just finished the series. I actually ended up liking Robin Hood more than I expected. It's not going to be the best show you watch this year or win any awards but if you're looking for something to just entertain you for a few hours then give this a try.

We watched it on Prime.
