  1. Being that he's been elevated to Lord, I'd think that it's enough for there to be some retaliation, even moreso if Jaime is held captive. But the question is, does Doran hold the Commander of the Kingsguard captive against the crown? I think if anything, this pushes Doran to marry Trystane and Myrcella sooner.
  2. I'm still not sure how I feel about it in a production sense. It seems gratuitous to me, but because of how they are playing this out in the show vs. the books, I guess it was necessary. It was still pretty uncomfortable to watch compared to every other gory/sexually violent scene the show has produced, despite the fact that nothing was actually shown. The implication was enough. I have to agree with Drew though, the scene was much more about Theon than it was Sansa. The expectation was there for her that she'd need to consummate the marriage. Final thought on the episode, during the battle/mild skirmish/slapbox between the Sand Snakes and Jaime/Bronn, who got cut on the arm, and were they poisoned? Being that only one person was perceivably injured during the fight, it was noticeable to me that one of the two were cut by a weapon from one of the Sand Snakes. Being daughters of Oberyn, I assume poison.
  3. Yeah. I can't bring myself to watch the full four just yet. I can binge shows to catch up, but I don't really see the point in watching four and then waiting a month for the next episode again. Loved the debut. It's pretty awesome to see that Sansa is learning the game as quickly as she is.
  4. Same. I definitely want to do one in the next few weeks.
  5. Well, this has been hands down the best season we have had. I had a feeling about the whole Jesse/Pete thing clouding Rick's judgement, but I didn't see this kind of set-up occurring for the final episode. I am really interested in seeing where the loyalties end up now.
  6. I've tried on several occasions to give College Basketball a chance. I get why people get hyped about it. It's a seemingly fair tournament that can take you on an emotional roller coaster if you go to or follow religiously the teams that are in it. But for me, the crux of the issue is that I really could not give two shits about college sports in general. I have no bonds to any schools. Long Island and downstate schools in general are terrible at college sports. And I can't really bring myself to care about any other state's schools. Hockey is the exception, but even so, I can't even follow that on anything more than a game-by-game basis.
  7. I would hope so, but regardless of what she may think or feel as a politician, she's about to find out that her son was just killed, and his partner may/may not have returned as well. It's a post-apocalyptic world, and Father Gabriel just served her a prophecy on a silver platter. I think Deanna could go either way. I think the idea of Rick stepping up to Pete may be a red herring though, because of how often he's been distracted in the past.
  8. Agreed. I was on the edge of my seat for most of it. I really hope the group doesn't fall into some kind of trap, but it seems as if Rick's judgement will be clouded yet again in a time where the group will need him the most. It sucked losing Noah, being that he seemed over mourning his family and ready to start anew. As for Deanna's son, I couldn't get the gist of what he was saying to Glenn. I rewound it 3 times.
  9. Both are pretty awesome. The Sword is definitely sludgier, but both are something I could get into.
  10. I'll check them out. I'm definitely new to the genre, but lately it's been drawing me in a bit.
  11. I've been listening to Sleep lately. My boss used to listen to it at work all the time. Just getting into it now. Sleep — Holy Mountain Stoner metal. A lot of droning.
  12. Scratch that. I got these. http:// http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LP6CFEC/ref=pd_aw_sims_1?pi=AC_SX230_QL60
  13. The ones I have. I'd assume the new ones do as well.
  14. The one that was posted above comes with a clip that you can clip to your shirt. The buds themselves are heavier/bigger than normal ones, but if you should be able to clip it without it falling out.
  15. Also, I had looked into fixing my heaphone jack. For the G2, it's the jack and charging port. I found a tutorial on how to fix it, but there's a lot you need to take apart replace it. Thanks for the suggestion though.
  16. These are the exact pair I just bought. They sound great and stay in very well.
  17. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VQ6vyQuX7c I don't think I can wait anymore. This season looks like it is going to be fantastic.
  18. Maybe the weather. I was listening to Zep 3 on the train this morning.
  19. Can anyone recommend a solid, relatively cheap($20-30) pair of bluetooth earbuds? My headphone jack is completely shot, and the $150 deductible is just not worth it for a phone that is a year and a half old.
  20. Yeah, pretty much. After we scored, I'm like, "At least there's aggregate." And then Carrasco scored. I don't understand this team.
  21. On second watch — and my mom's suggestion — I have a question about Noah now. Why were he and his dad in Atlanta after all of this went down? They had already begun fortifying his housing development before he left. I don't know if I missed a conversation he had with Beth earlier. He also seemed leery about parking in the woods, rather than driving up. Just struck me as odd. Edit — Also, how does the other twin get out of his room?
  22. I liked Tyreese a lot. He became very important to the group and really filled a right hand role for Rick at times. Having watched Talking Dead after the episode, Nicotero confirmed that the idea behind the episode was to make us feel like he could make it through. I thought it was a great episode. The visuals were fantastic and I loved the hallucinations.
  23. Season 5 Official Trailer(Not "officially" on YouTube yet): https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152715877082734 I am sooooooo stoked.
  24. Hands in your pockets head fixated on the pavement.
