re: LSU's ERA
Posted by Bert Macklin FBI on 2/25/26 at 8:08 am to TX Tea
LSU struggles to pitch early in every season. By May, Jay will have 10 guys he can rely on. We will roll out some relivers with ERAs in the mid 4's and they will pump strikes and make .350 hitters look dumb. Happens every year.

This feels like a personal vendetta against women for you. The recaps I’ve watched have all said she found an opportunity to raise her station.
Not to mention, they don't get divorced in Westeros when a woman cheats, they cut off her head. Seems like high stakes to play with if she just wants to be whore.

being a whore
I guess I see it the other way around. This woman was a whore and she hit the lottery and will now be the wife of a high born. I just don't see why she'd contnue to sleep with other men for money?
Maybe I'm being naive but she'd be dumb to screw this up.

If they make it more than Maekar just accepting it and sending support then its a mistake. I get it if its just a "that little rascal" moment to enforce that Egg is unruly but if they intend to make it whole thing with Maekar hunting him down then I agree its a bad idea.

m still pissed that Dunk didn't warn his trial of seven bro that he was in the clutches of a lying whore.
What purpose would that serve? Have you ever tried to tell a friend that the girl he is with sucks? It never goes over well. Also, who is getting hurt here? Raymund gets a nice piece of ace and the girl gets to stop whoring.

It doesnt make sense for egg to lie and get Dunk in shite again.
Yes it does. Thats Egg's character. He's sneaky and lies to manipulate people to get his way. Not in any type of evil way but in a "bad" little kid kind of way.

re: PSA: The Tooth Fairy gives $1 for teeth
Posted by Bert Macklin FBI on 2/23/26 at 3:09 pm to Salmon
Ours gives $5.
BUT
I will say my SIL fricked it up becuase she gave her son 5 gold dollar coins. So of course my son tells me the tooth fairy must be parents because it doesn't make sense that he got a $5 bill and his cousin got gold coins.

I could be wrong but I think there is a second Blackfyre Rebellion before Robert's Rebellion.

I think your overall point is correct. They just tried to wrap up the stories of every character and pint to where they are off to next.

Wonder if there is any legit source about them going to Dorne or are they just guessing that based on Dunk and Eggs conversation?
Would be hard to do The Sworn Sword and stuff in Dorne in 6 episodes.
Hopefully they don't go to Dorne in S2.
The leaks claim they are going to Dorne. The source material in the Sworn Sword does state they went to Dorne during "The Spring" but there wasn't a ton of detail. I think I mostly agree that they shouldn't spend a ton of time in Dorne but expanding on it a bit would be ok.

I don't think this is true.
It was a flashback. They were at the same location as the opening scene.
If he was talking to a ghost, it would not have been necessary to move the location.
I will have to rewatch the scene but I believe the change of scenery can be explained by the fact that Dunc was either dreaming or day dreaming. And the dialogue from Dunc siuggests that he is talking to a person about something they can no longer remedy. I believe he said "Why DIDN'T you Knight me" as in you had the chance to knight me when you were alive but now you're dead and you can't any longer. If it were a memory/flashback IMO, Dunc would have worded it like "When will you knight me?" or "Do you plan to knight me one day?" , etc.
I also think the comic relief is the same explanation of all the comic relief in the Arlan flashbacks. Dunc remembers him as an honorable, noble knight. When in reality he was a grumpy, drunk.

Well in sworn sword he shows the chick the ring he got from maekor to prove who egg is
Maybe Egg took the ring with him cuz he isn't dumb. Or maybe MAekor sends a rider with the ring and instructions once he figures out where Egg went. There are ways to remedy this without killing the story.

I would say that you should have the option to pay a lesser price for the games of a single team. I'm not paying $30 for a weekend of baseball even if I get 40 games or whatever they boast. IDC about 40 games, I want to watch 3 games and I'd probably pay $10 for that.

I wondered the same. especially given that Egg drops the knife and it makes a loud sound. Seems like the father would be more concerned when one brother tried to murder the other.

Do you think Arlan died right after he said that or something? Are you assuming they never had another conversation?
Dunc was talking to a ghost. It was an internal convo he was having with Arlan in a dream. It wasn't a memory of an actual convo that Dunc had with Sir Arlan. Just Dunc asking the figuritive Sir Arlan the question that has been plaguing him.

f they make Dunk out as some kidnapper or something like that and they are sending people out to get them then it certainly is a big change.
If they go this route they are dumb. I thin MAekor will find out Egg went with Dunc, think "that kid never listens" and then send a rider with monye and the boot with instructions about keeping Egg a secret. Then we are back to being in line with the books.

Scoring couldn't simpler. Closest to the center scores and you get a point for every stone you have inside the house that is closer than the opponents closest stone.

I hate to tell you that unless they really dive into Blackfyre Rebellion flash backs, it'll be much the same as far as length. The Novellas just aren't very long and they'd have to leave source material to make it longer.

Huh? In the book Maekor agreed to let Egg go.
Maybe I misremeber the convo since its been a while since a read it. But I do still think that its a minor change. The mechanics of the story are still the same. Egg goes with Dunc. a Major change would be something like Baelor surviving or something the actuallychanges the trajectory of the show, Egg sneaking off to be with Dunc tracks with Egg's character and doesn't change amything mechanically.

Not at all. Those weren't Arlans final words. Did you not see him wake up and say "A true knight always finishes a tale" or something similar? They are leaving it ambiguous on purpose.
They've seemingly made it clear they are not going to tell. Which I hope they hold to that. The showrunner and GRRM said at this point it's kind of irrelevant.
Ummm.... Dunc said plain as day "Why did you never Knight me?" Thats about as clear as they could be...
