Honestly, I don't think GRRM knows how to get there either.
that certainly seems to be the case.

the ending was very anti-climatic. a merger of two networks and laying off of half the employees is no better a solution that selling off UBN for parts. instead of Marks getting rich, its the shareholders/board. i doubt the fired employees are getting nice golden parachutes. probably 2 weeks pay.

the show runners/writers have difficulty creating a good cohesive story without source material. S8 was indicative at that. they knew how it was supposed to end, but they had no idea how to get there since GRRM hadn't written it.

Howard was fine as the author but didn’t buy her as a spy at all. When it looked like she was doing the Kathleen Turner role of Romancing the Stone, ok, but full blown real spy, nope. I was fine with everyone else.
the story was fine, good even, but it needed serious editing to be tighter . Some of the action sequences were too long and “ice skating” on oil was ridiculous.

Were Bradley's phone records part of it?
They indicated that all phones were part of the hack.
its looks like Paul was probably behind the hack after all

OJ is dead at 76, due to cancer.

LWT does better journalism research than most other media. Kudos and I hope there are a lot of people in the Biden administration who watched and took notes.

Kids absolutely had emotional problems before 2010. many were just told to ignore them or deal with it. some got through ok, others didn't. Gen Xers were routinely ignored and self-raised. but we didn't have social media publishing every teen runaway or suicide back then, so we didn't hear about it as much. Nor did we have the type of mass shootings that have become prevalent. i agree that social media has made some things worse, or at least we all know about more of them.

For all the interesting changes FAM made to the timeline with different democratic presidents (Ted Kennedy, Gary Hart, now Al Gore), one has to remember that because the USSR made it to the moon "first", the Soviet Union still existed in 2003. the show doesn't go into details but one has to wonder how other events were affected because the Soviet Union did not fall.
We know 9/11 did not happen. Should we assume the SU did not fail in Afghanistan? what is the situation in the middle east? Is there a European Union?
Alternate history is fascinating sometimes.

Bill’s new rule rant takes one side, but there are a lot of non-white people who do want their differences considered. So Dems have to appease both and that’s hard.

No one will believe Sergie killed himself before eating his Big Mac and fries.

Who is Miles? I don’t recall him or his wife from the prior season.
GHWB must have been fairly old to be running against Gore in 2000.

Idiot skate cleaning guy got in over his head.

I'm still trying to get the family relations straight.
Maya's dad married Maya's mom, and the mother of Maya's mom ('grandma') didn't like the dad's family because they were mixed up with Fisk?
who are Bonnie's and Biscuit's parents and are they brother/sister or just cousins (because i don't remember Biscuit from Ep 1)?
Is Graham Green Maya's grandad, who is or is not still with grandma?
I kindof agree that grandma can take a seat over judging Maya, who went with the only family she had in NYC, including new "uncle Fisk" (at least at the time). Its not like grandma tried to keep Maya and tell the dad to leave alone. grandma didn't seem to care about Maya at all.

another thing that most teens don't realize, and the loan people don't explain is that when you take out the student loan, the interest might start incurring immediately. Some loans will defer starting the interest until graduation (or leaving school), i think those are the federally guaranteed loans. but loans from private banks won't do that and suddenly at the end of 4 years, the college grad is flabbergasted that their $100,000 loan has doubled because of interest.

You know so why many states fund colleges less? So they can give tax cuts to rich people.
more teens need to consider community college for 2 years then transfer. Saves a lot of money.
colleges should not be resorts but even non fancy schools charge quite a lot.

It was last season, and Judith offered to help her.
i know the show takes liberties with some facts, but i think it’s saying good things.

loved the old JC episode. have to laugh at how she's talking about the color of the mayonnaise when she added the veggies to it, and of course, we can't see the color.
Clearly the Fibbie is threating to go public with information about Paul, but its not like he has a job to lose anymore. its awful that they threatened people with releasing fall information in order to get someone to lie about their friends.
it was good that charlie got the questions ahead of time so Julie and Paul could prepare answers as to why they now live in Boston and Paul left his job.

Recently saw this on Amazon Prime and I was pleasantly surprised. The movie had a lot more heart and character involvement than I had originally thought it would, as i thought it would be nothing more than a basketball-sneaker movie. it was a little of that, but much more. I've really been impressed by Matt Damon lately.
And I learned how to properly pronounce Adidas.

Those women cheer Robinson are the type of women that stopped the ERA from passing.
what’s also scary about those bad doctors is how many states have capped medical malpractice damages in litigation

She should have pivoted and teamed up with Trishelle on the next vote and tried to talk her into voting for CT again, and the two of them vote for CT.
In an interview with Rob Cesterino afterwards, Trishelle stated that on the way to the firepit, she told MJ "you are the only one i trust, i want you at the end", which was her way of trying to tell MJ that she no longer trusted CT and was supposed to be a clue to MJ to vote for CT when Trishelle chose the red bag after Kate was eliminated. But MJ missed the clue.

The speech was good but don't they pay their fair share what with the vehicle registration & state taxes on gas? Genuine question.
It depends. For example, Amazon could register a whole bunch of vehicles in say Pennsylvania, but use those vans to do deliveries in a host of neighboring states (Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, New Jersey, New York). And Amazon could tell its drivers to fill up on gas whichever state has the cheapest gas. such as, a driver who is doing deliveries in the Tri-State area of NJ, PA and DE might endeavor to gas up as much as possible in NJ, where gas prices tend to be lower.
But that still doesn't necessarily provide for all the other services our taxes pay for (such as police, fixing streets, etc.)

Yeah, Garth Brooks was the only 'cahones award' winner i agreed with.
And Max Brooks' 'pay fair share' taxes speech was definitely very good. I will have to remember that. We all pay our fair share of taxes for our local roads we use. Bezos, et al, should pay fair share for all roads they use, which are a helluvahlot.

S01.E05: The Past
in Fallout
Clearly Norm finally found his calling as a detective.
was NCR around during the video games? Who bombed it? The mechs or someone else?
Lucy was a vault baby. The scene with her mother was clearly in their underground corn field.
