    wnen I post something about it these days, there is little or no response. Don't get it, but there you go.
    In fact, when I mention it in conversation here, most say " I don't watch.it". I think it's just to appear what they think is cool. I mentioned it in the Angels hate thread, thought it might start something, but nope.
    Somebody's watching it though, that's for fucking sure.
    Whatver wasn't perfect about it ( the Sopranos finale comes to mind), it was still one of the best TV shows of all time.
    And lots of possibilities.for spin offs.
    Sorry it's done.

    A coworker wanted me to get into it and he burned the seasons to a drive for me.
    I never touched it.
    I had already seen the first 2 seasons. It was good but just too much of everything.
    I can't eat that much fantasy fan fiction without getting sick of it.
    Like candy bars.

    A lot of things did not make sense but it was okay. More like Peyton Manning in the playoffs, it wasn't that bad.

    In what universe does Greyworm take Jon prisoner and not fight him to the death immediately? Stupid writing like that riddled throughout the final season make it meh but everything else was spectacular.

    My guess is everyone in the show started out as nobodies, then became huge stars. All wanted out of the series to work on their new projects and there wasn't enough money to tell a coherent final story. So they dumped a bunch of money into a couple of huge fight scenes, only had enough for 6 episodes, and had to wrap things up immediately

    I don't see anything wrong with your account setup.
    There was a database rebuild process that failed. I re-ran it and it completed successfully.
    Doubt that was causing your problems, but it was the only thing I could see that was broken with the site.

    Let me know if you keep having problems.

    Sure. And apropos that, how does Drogon not barbeque Snow instead of melting the Iron Throne. He just wasted his babe mom. But I loved the symbolism.
    I thought since Snow was Targerian (sp?), maybe he wouldn't burn at all.
    there are many open ends for a sequel...many. But HBO says only a prequel is planned.

    Jersey boy Dinklage was a previously a respected actor...Lena Heady is a noted actor in the UK, as is Liam Cunningham.
    And Grey Worm and Bronn were/are in music over there. There are videos around. Mellisande, too.
    Really pissed off at Bronn, since he was banging Cersei irl. And Cersei makes me gooey.
    But it didn't end well, as she told them she wouldn't film a scene with him at any time. And didn't.
    But yeah, you're right...career launches all over the place.

    I thought that Drogon realized that her lust for power as symbolized by the throne is what killed Dany, not Jon Snow.
    But getting roasted by Drogon, or impaled by Grey Worm probably would have been a better ending for Jon Snow.
    I thought getting to live happily every after with college buddies beyond the wall was pretty hokey and off-tone for the show.

    After the dragons and wolves, my favorite was Davos...I liked his character, his acting, and one Irishman who looked a lot like my father.
    I liked Bronn to, really, but when I found out he was boning Cersei irl, I moved him off the love area.
    Have to disagree on the lines actors were given to speak. Thought over 8 years, the dialogue was fascinating and sharp most of the time. Not Shakespeare, but pretty damn good for TV.
    Maintained over the course of the series run, it was one of strong points of the tale.
    Don't think it relied totally on CGI and FX. When dragons and zombie demons are integral to the plot, what should you expect? If you need them to tell the tale, then do it best.
    They were, and done spectacularly, imo. But there was plenty of human intrigue and complexities, and for the most part, acted top notch.

    Doc needs to surgically remove your head from your ass.

    Take care of yourself.

    Bad bit, that.
    Same exact thing happened to me this past Feb./ Mar., did the urgent care thing too. Wound up the a steriod therapy knocked it out of me.
    It's all good though. Lost 19.5 pounds.
    I mean you have to take advantage of it when you can. Like back in the day when the women could do just by going out with a cocaine dealer, right?
    Fuck that.
