    Game of Thrones (HBO)

    I honestly did not have a problem with this episode as a standalone entry in GoT. It was perfectly fine and actually some of the best work they've done in the last 2 seasons. What made it not work were all the missed opportunities leading up to it. They didn't lay the groundwork for it properly...

    Also, to paraphrase Ghostbusters, "Jon, when someone asks you if you love them, you say YES!"

    So I guess the Maggy the Frog prophecy kinda of works if you really, really stretch the meaning of the words?

    Game of Thrones (HBO)

    If okay with Dany's arc, but I wish we had been given more time to let it breathe. If you think about it, it has been a slow burn since she let her brother wear his crown of gold. She has always believed killing was the ultimate answer to her problems. She crucified Masters that ultimately...

    Current condition of the stock market..

    This. The biggest lesson I learned is to trust your instincts and research. I've been burned by being reactive to short-term news. I've never been burned by a long-term play.

    Untitled Star Wars Film III (Dec. 18, 2026)

    I think I am looking forward to this one the most of all the untitled Star Wars movies on the schedule. It'll be awesome! :)

    Game of Thrones (HBO)

    My wife remarked that I didn't seem to be into this show as much as prior seasons and that is true. With the exception of Episode 2 this season, I have been completely underwhelmed. However, I think it can all be redeemed in the last two episodes. If some of the "stupid" choices that the writers...

    RIP Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca)

    So sad

    need to take courses or something

    I am like you. Have a finance background but not in stocks and bonds. Found this series of free tutorials on the subject and was able to incorporate it into my own knowledge base to confidently start managing my own financial assets. There is lots to unpack in this, but it has been an invaluable...

    The Umbrella Academy (Netflix)

    You try Ozark yet? I felt the same about most Netflix fare outside of Daredevil and Hill House. Rarely do I finish the season or commit to multiple seasons for Netflix shows. But Ozark really grabbed me through 2 seasons.

    I stopped watching after 2 episodes. Just could not hold my attention.

    MCU: Avengers: Endgame

    Other fan theories going into Endgame that I wish had made it into the movie: A mid-credit scene showing the gamma radiation released from the multiple snaps spreading over the earth and activating a latent x-gene in an unknown child. Captain America and Red Skull cross paths one more time. A...

    This organization is in a much better spot than a week ago

    I'd say "potentially better". Unproven QB. Unproven HC. Keim still at the reigns as GM. But I do like what they did with the WR room and with our #2 pick.

    MCU: Avengers: Endgame

    Seriously, the "I knew it!" moment was probably the biggest cheer I've ever heard in a theater.

    Game of Thrones (HBO)

    Basically the same as Return of the King. Lots of death and destruction in the "main" battle, while the "one good shot" part of the plan fumbles around until the final moments when it looks like the good guys will be overrun. But, with zombies!

    Game of Thrones (HBO)

    Exactly. Isn't the point of a cavalry to try and flank your enemy, not charge headlong into an entrenched mob? Seemed like a test run to assess the enemy, which leads me to believe most the Dothraki were held back. But with the sheer numbers we saw riding forward, it appears that was not the...

    Game of Thrones (HBO)

    One question I have is this, were all/vast majority of Dothraki killed or do they still have a lot of horsemen to counter the Golden Company's cavalry? It was hard to tell if they were all sent in that initial first wave or if that was just a fraction of their numbers. Also, Ghost went out with...

    Right now I'm thinking the person who most literally embodies this prophecy is Melisandre. Arya is Lightbringer.

    MCU: Avengers: Endgame

    Also, I loved Cap's uniform in this movie. Finally got the scaly breastplate design. My favorite was his original from WWII. That was an awesome, pragmatic spin on an otherwise silly concept. But as his uniform evolved over all of his appearances, I thought there were mixed results. This design...

    Josh Rosen says goodbye to the Cardinals in a classy way

    Should subvert the "Bad Teammate" crap the team tried to do via Gambo in order to try and win fans over.

    MCU: Avengers: Endgame

    The payoff was amazing. They wrapped up hanging threads from over the past decade, some I had forgotten about, but realized I still cared about! The way they tied together the history of the MCU over the last ten years was astounding. I read somewhere that the latest episode of GoT was...

    Game of Thrones (HBO)

    100% agree with all you said. After it was over, my wife asked me how it was. I said, "meh". Maybe it was because I was coming off watching Avengers which also had a better rendered "darK" battle in it, but the fact that you could never tell who was fighting (especially when dragons were...
