Was Hands implying that she was in the wheelchair because she had sex with somebody that was wearing the exo-suit?
I thought she meant she'd tried.

You must have been reading my mind - we had a plasma but gave it to my sister in law. I remarked to the husband that I wish I was watching that one tonight. I think it would have been a bit 'lighter'. Maybe this is just their film noir inspired cinematography episode of the season.
I couldn't tell - did Gendry and Pod pull thru?Pod definitely made it, but no idea on Gendry.
This episode made me wish we would have bought the more expensive TV.
It was far, far less brutal than I expected. I mean, I was going full pessimist (they're all gonna die!), so just losing the Mormonts, Theon (totally disappointed he didn't get a "Father would be proud!" from Bran), Edd and Beric was kind of a relief.

And audience members, too. We (and several of our friends) are way more likely to watch something on the CW now than before this show.

Rich is gay, right? Anyway they had better be saving Patterson for Roman. He likes blondes.
I too hope Roman being completely ineffectual here is deep down he didn't want them to succeed.
Pretty sure he's pan.

I'm so disappointed that Bryan didn't get his start with a food truck in Chicago.

I really wonder how Alan passes his random urinalysis tests with the just tasting of cocaine every now and then.
I'm going with luck.

The impression was that he did have a job (possibly the offer had been the reason he moved, as least that's how it seemed to me, and didn't he complain about how he had to dress for the office, or did my memory invent that?) for those eight months. He simply didn't like the job or the location. But it's true that no matter how you slice it, it's not cheap to relocate and live/work there.
I wish they'd revisit this for a moment at some point, just long enough to let us know in what capacity Josh was employable for 8 months in NYC. Because I can't put it together in my head. Do we even know what he got a college degree in?
But his parents are definitely not broke, hated his girlfriend, and want him out of their house- paying for him to go to NY would be a good investment from those angles.

Curiosity question- everyone who's thinking she may have died in a sex accident, were you Strike Back fans? I know that's where my head went...
Also, I miss that show.

Outlander has definitely not run out of books. There are 8 already, and Gabaldon is writing the 9th. Each season so far has been one complete book.
As for Episode 3.11, much is straight from the book. The characters, such as Father Fogden, Mamacita, and even the coconut head are straight from the book. The circumstance and timing of events was not quite the same; IIRC, the show sped up the timeline and left out some parts. (For example, there's another character in the books that is introduced during this time frame that the show omitted.) The show also added a few scenes, such as - I don't remember Mr. Willoughby killing the goat? But maybe he did; it's been a few years since I read the third book.
It was definitely the Artemis crew, but I don't think it was specifically Willoughby that was roasting the goat.

I think the whole thing was over the top and super unrealistic. His father was beating Riggs to a pulp by that point. I have a hard time believing a teenager served jail time for what could have easily been seen as saving his friend's life.
This was a teenager with a record of increasingly serious felonies though. They're not going to get the benefit of the doubt.

I don't think "The Boy" is "The Mage". I think the The Mage is the Cardenas Boy's father, or whoever is the evil force behind the destruction of the boy's world. I think "The Boy" is the old man in the coma we saw in the first episode. If this happened when the kid was 10 years old, 50 years ago, that would put him at 60 years old. I went back, and he could conceivably be 60 years old if he had a rough life, and allowed his hair and beard to grow uncontrollably.
I just assumed that was Odin, and a wink to the book readers.

As it is, it's very clunky. And Cait's hair looks shorter, too!
Curly hair does that though, especially in changing humidity. When I went to bed last night, my hair was on my shoulders. It's raining today, and it's 1/2" above them today, and yesterday wasn't super dry.

I also thought Jon was resurrected again. That was a long time to stay in freezing water.
I heard the same deep gasp as when he was resurrected when he woke up on the ship, too.
28 minutes ago, Avaleigh said:So was the Night's King a greenseer before he was turned? Is that why he could see Bran that time? Wait, if Hardhome was preplanned then why was did the Night's King seem so surprised about Jon taking out one of his guys? Wouldn't he have already seen that coming?
I'm intrigued by this idea though. OTOH if he's able to see into the future then isn't that even more of a reason that he should have aimed the spear at Drogon since he was carrying one of the candidates for the Prince/Princess who was promised?
This would though explain why the Walkers and wights were just content to wait it out even though they had Jon & co surrounded. The Night's King could have killed them all by just throwing spears at them since they had no place to go. Hmm.
I wonder if Benjen's blood has anything to do with why he didn't become a wight.
I think so, but from what we've seen, they don't get a clear view of the future. So, he may have known that they would meet at Hardhome, and win, but maybe not that Jon was in the Night's Watch with a Valyrian steel sword, rather that just a wildling.
Just now, AuntieMame said:I loved it too. I was looking at it trying to figure out how they made it. At first I thought some of it was felting but now I'm convinced it was all fur pieced together very intricately. I want to make a modified verse. If I could get the pelts. And if fur wasn't evil. The costumers on this show are so, so amazing.
I think it was shaved/cut/trimmed fur, rather than pieced. I think you could use good faux fur, although the Ikea hides would probably be cheaper than the nice stuff (the last I bought was sheared beaver at $60 per yard, and the longer stuff was a lot more). Also yay fellow sewist!

Ok I was willing to give this show a shot but they made the only mistake that can turn me off a show:
They had a dog, a beautiful German Shepard, get hurt.
**** done ****
My problem with the dog was that that dog would have stopped the instant it heard the command "No". This wasn't just a pet, it was a highly trained dog. They stop the instant you tell them to because otherwise they'll get hurt.
I wasn't sure whether the "We'll change the world" and all of the "disrupt" stuff was supposed to be a Silicon Valley easter egg or not.

Another show title: "Californication". NO THANK YOU. Duchovny, California, and f*cking. I needed a shower just reading the title on the subway posters.
Subsequently, long after the show was on the air, I read things that suggested there were actual characterizations and relationships on this show, but it was too late.
With Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, I figured it wasn't anti-feminist, but I DID assume it was whimsical and quirky, a couple of things I really hate.
Eh, only maybe for one or two seasons out of a beaten to death number of seasons. It was mostly Duchovny, California and fucking, with some alcoholism thrown in for good measure.

I'm pretty sure a friend of a friend mentioned it when it premiered, but I heard the title, and CW, and took a hard pass. It was only when someone I trust a lot more made the rec that we started watching. Granted, that may have been more network than title, but the title definitely didn't entice me to watch.
-
I'm kind of torn on things being out of order. On one hand, it messes with the story. On the other, we started the series 3-4 episodes in (marathoned, not skipped), and got attached to the warmth and ridiculousness. The last few episodes have been pretty dark, and I'm not sure I would have stuck around had it started so dark and lightened up.
-
I'm enjoying this show, but it very much feels like a show that would be better if streamed/binge watched.

We binge watched it on Netflix after a friend binge watched it (and pretty sure he heard about it from a friend who binged watched it once it was streaming, too). I think it's the first show I've ever watched on the CW, the whole network's just generally not on our radar.

So, I need this explained. How could Nimue drink/touch from the Grail without poofing? She was already at her village, so all of the old anger would be there then if that's the excuse for her going bad.
Second part, you know the Grail-whether cup or sword- poofs people. Why defend it? Tell them not to, if they grab it, oh well. Problem solved, no use of magic required on your part.

Yeah, I figured they will break the season when Jamie rescues Claire from Ft William. Just enough of a cliff hanger to lead into the break. So the strapping should occur the next episode.
I am concerned about the pacing between Jamie/Claire being married and the strapping though. Either way, it was a brutal part of the book, but at least up until then we were able to see Jamie and Claire growing even closer. I am not sure how the tv viewers/non book readers will handle that. Will they ease up on a bit on how bad it was on the actual show? I am really curious to see how they pull it off without totally pissing Jamie-fans off. I think it's one thing to read about it, but to see it....That'll be iffy.
I think Dougal will be the one to do it instead of Jamie. That sidesteps most of the domestic violence aspect (while still generating outrage), the out of character-ness of Jaime liking it (he can still enjoy watching it), but keeps the outcome and drama, with the bonus of making Dougal that much more of an ass to both of them. Claire will still be mad that Jamie didn't stop it, plus jealous that he stepped up for Laoghaire, but not for her (but we can see him offer and Dougal refuse). And it avoids the "If he didn't want to do it, why didn't he just wail on a bag or his hand or something so it sounded like he did it?" questions.

I like this book a lot but I'd be lying if I said there weren't a couple of points in there where I didn't want to just throttle Claire.
She's fine with trying to change history when it's for what she considers a good reason, i.e. the entire Paris interlude of trying to prevent Bonnie Prince Charlie from invading Scotland and causing the Rising, but it's wrong when it would result in ridding the world of the Randall line as a side effect of killing someone who really needs to go. I get that she was terribly conflicted and guilt ridden about her decision to leave Frank for good and worried about how his nonexistence would affect her place in the world. But she wouldn't even try to see things from Jamie's perspective. She unilaterally decided that his need for vengeance wasn't a good enough reason and couldn't wrap her mind around the fact that Frank was mostly a hypothetical he'd never met while Randall was very real to him.
Which made their interactions when they were all back in Edinburgh during the war so curious. Alex Randall is a sympathetic character but that makes it okay for him to expect Jamie to hang out and be an official witness at his rapist's wedding? Alex tells Clare at the end that he "knows" about his brother. And Jamie mentions in Outlander that Randall cried and called him Alex during. WTF exactly are we supposed to surmise about that relationship then?
I had the same thought, but Roger made a comment about how they only had a half dozen or so first names. And the previous guy Randall raped who hung himself was also named Alexander, so who knows who he actually meant.

The lack of Lafayette was appalling. They might as well have just misspelled Nelsan Ellis's name in the credits, just as a final fuck-you to the actor and the character.
But we made sure to get time with Mr. Lettie Mae, whose name I don't even know.

Arya's a loner for life, Bran's a tree, which amounts to the same thing, and Rickon has probably been eaten. Sorry, but I can't think why else they showed us a grievously wounded Shaggydog, unless to imply that he's no longer able to protect Rickon.
When was this shown? I don't know whether I missed a preview chapter, or just forgot something from AFFC/ADWD (I did buy a Kindle after falling asleep and dropping ADWD on my head, so I can't say I was super enthralled with the story).

The Nevarro News: The Mandalorian in the Media
in The Mandalorian
Aren't they much faster because of the Volume? Instead of having to spend months doing VFX in post, that's already done when they start, so it's just the usual editing turn around.
