This would just cannibalize their own product though...

But what's worse, the market cannibalization or the opportunity cost?

The best part of these threads is all the people who feel superior because they haven't read a book.

You can feel like an insecure weenie without anyone feeling superior about anything, fyi

I like this show and I enjoy it but this episode I just could not suspend my disbelief because of all the bafflingly stupid things the characters were doing. I'm being very :spergin: about this but I just couldn't turn off my brain this episode sorry guys :(

Goons in Platoons has a thread titled Let's Talk About Idiots!:

quote:

Well BAF had a wire breech and these security forces dudes roll up on where it was reported to be. I guess they didn't really believe it because they just kind of sauntered around without looking. They both had M16s while the .50 cal on their humvee just sat their chilling. Anyway the Afghan dude (In ACUs) who was laying next to the wire sat up and SF McBadass fumbled with his 16 and shot himself square in the drat boot. His buddy panicked, started to run away, turned and fired like 4 shots at nothing then helped his buddy to the humvee where they said lol bye and drove off, leaving the unarmed contractors and like 3 random Joes to cower in a bunker while the Afghans shot small arms fire and RPGs at them. Until a pair of Apaches went buck rear end wild and blew everything to poo poo.

Seemed relevant.

By the way, that thread completely owns.

The wiki article on this episode says why they killed them off. I guess they are pretty minor spoilers for the books for pretty minor characters.

One of the notes, I completely overlooked this:

quote:

Jon Snow gained the edge on Styr during the last moment of their fight by spitting blood in his face, giving Jon the moment he needed to grab a hammer and bring it down into Styr's skull. This is loosely the same trick that Karl Tanner used against Jon at Craster's Keep in "First of His Name", nearly killing him.

Why did they even sally forth from the wall all the way back in season 2? I can't loving remember their justification but in hindsight the decision seems really dumb. :psyduck:

I think they lost a patrol and also wanted to investigate some things

That joke is problematic.

It's not cool, but acting like it makes them as bad as the Mountain or really anyone from souh of the Wall is silly.

Yeah, GRRM's drawn a lot of inspiration from history and that kind of thing was par for the course.

Honestly because I have nothing better to do on Sunday nights and I'm really curious to see how they will possibly resolve the holistic story during the final episode. I really liked the first couple of seasons but the latest two have been pretty disappointing. It could be because I had most of the big moments spoiled for me(although they were almost all char deaths)

Ever seen From Dusk till Dawn? I'm expecting the White Walkers to hit like that.

Question about the spoilered Jon chat:

Has he ever been burned?

GoT is a passion-play from the perspective of 1920s Germany.
