I saw the original cast on Broadway in 2004 when I was 10. Loved it. I’ve seen it multiple times since on Broadway and on tour and listened to the soundtrack at least 100 times.

This is a fantastic stage to screen adaptation. They added a little context here and there, and the odd filler scene a couple times. But it really feels like the stage production put to screen. It’s very very good.

9/10 for me.

It would be a 10/10 but Madame Morrible sucked and the jury is out on Jeff Goldblum’s Wizard until the next act.

It toes the line perfectly of being a genuine love letter to Star Trek while also relentlessly making fun of it the entire time. Unironically great movie.

did any of that in the trailer resemble anything from the game?


Very much so

That’s because he wore that awkward flak jacket that made him look like a tall second trimester pregnant lady. He had more to hide it behind.

Fun fact, Holden is the same actor that originally played King George in Hamilton



Once Andy and Leslie settle into their roles and Mark Brendanawicz is gone, the series shoots off like a rocket. It's amazing until the last season.
Has anyone ever seen late hit out of bounds called?

Jesus. She feels useless as a babysitter and goes looking for the wild dragon to claim it for herself. It could not be any more obvious if you’re actually watching the show.

Was expecting this to be about Rey and Kylo

Do you think you'll be getting a 4K tv anytime soon? They're crazy cheap compared to a few years ago and only getting cheaper
That was a rough one. Rhaenys was the last real one left on the show.

Great episode though. I'm assuming Aegon isn't dead. Aemond pulled his sword before Cole showed up and I assume it was to finish off Aegon.

Yet another horrific thing happened on Cole's watch while he wasn't protecting his King. I wonder what his next promotion will be!

I like Pedro Pascal a lot, but I really wish he would change up his look every now and then. He's had the same shaggy hairstyle (give or take an inch) and the same mustache in everything I've ever seen him in. Only difference was in Last of Us they spray painted it gray.

I thought it was fun. It get dumber the longer you think about it, but I still enjoyed it. I'll watch season 2.

So right now only two people know the truth of the misunderstanding.


Otto knows. He said so last episode. Aegon said something like “He made me King” and Otto replied with “Is that what you think?”

So now at least somewhere in his mind Aegon knows too. We’ll see where that story leads, if anywhere.
The actor playing Aegon is really fricking good. You can tell he has a million conflicting thoughts and emotions all going on at once and whichever one is dominant in a scene really shines through in a believable way.

I can't imagine he could have done better at Gandalf.


Not saying he would’ve been better overall but that specific line with his accent and inflection would’ve been a perfect marriage
Connery's delivery of "Fool of a Took!" would've been great.

I could be wrong but the wait is on complete rifles. You can order parts all day long.


Kinda yes and kinda no.

Barrel manufacturing and quality assurance seems to be the cause of the delays. Complete rifles and complete upper receivers are delayed.

Stripped uppers and lowers seem to be available but you cannot get their dual taper lock barrel nuts unless you wait and buy something with a barrel included and installed.

I would definitely tap the brakes on that. He's a good psycho retard, but that's really all he is.


Not really. Joffrey and Ramsey were meant to be hated from their first scene.

Cole didn’t start out that way. He was pretty likable in S1 until Rhaenyra the heir to the Iron Throne turns down his offer to run away and be poor forever in Essos. That started the spiral into the human scum he is now.

When he first came on screen he was a cool young knight that everyone rooted for. Now I hate him more than anyone on this show. That takes good writing and acting.
From top to bottom this show’s acting is phenomenal.

But holy shite Fabien Frankel as Criston Cole is on another level. He’s so good at being a smug, hypocritical piece of absolute human garbage. Even as a borderline secondary character he’s absolutely reached the same level of hatred as Joffrey and Ramsay for me even though he’s not nearly as cartoonishly evil as those two.

Great writing. Great performance. frick Criston Cole.

A buddy of mine has one ..they are top notch AR’s and barrels are super accurate with that taper lock system they invented …only problem is there’s like a 6-8 month wait. Check out TYPE-A too they make some high quality stuff



The wait is avoidable if you aren't picky. If you look around there are a few current generation Blackout DTL rifles being sold by some online retailers. They're already fully assembled so you obviously can't piece them together and colorize them exactly how you want like you can directly from Blackout, but they still come with the same bells and whistles.

Type A is actually one of the others I'm considering along with ADM and Radian.

And to the person that brought up the Geiselle/Daniel argument, I already have a DDM4 upper on a Colt lower it's an absolute tank. That's what I'm grabbing when the zombies come but it's a very overgassed system and not that much fun to shoot. For this rifle I really want something finely tuned from the factory, tight, fast and fun to shoot at the range or course. Honestly I want to buy my first Gucci gun just because I can.

Anybody have any experience with their ARs? I'm in the market for a medium-high end AR and they have me intrigued. They're relatively new to the scene but from what I can tell they have very impressive stuff.

Their triggers are phenomenal and that's how they started to make their name in the industry. Their rifles look amazing too. I'm close to grabbing one. Just asking around to see if anyone has anything bad to say.
I thought it was great. I really enjoyed the first one but this had deeper themes and was overall quite a bit better IMO. Definitely a top 10 Pixar film. For a lot of people it’ll be in the top 5 conversation.
