Yes it certainly will be an adventure for them both, I think my gran will be teaching Mini Sith some basics in the garden as she loves gardening and hopefully the weather will be nice!.

Oh, there's lots of good things about it; plenty of impressive spectacle, aside from episode 3 which is just a blank screen and a bunch of sound effects. It's just that lots of it doesn't really make much sense. I suspect at least parts of it will play better in retrospect once we've been able to read the books and have certain characters' motivations properly explained. Though knowing where it's (probably) going will be somewhat detrimental to the reading experience, I think. They really should have waited till the books were finished before starting the show; maybe by then CGI would have gotten cheap enough that they could afford more than one shot of a direwolf per season.

Buckwheat Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Wait, the direwolves are still not shown? Eh, looks like I am not missing anything then. :p Good mooooorning. Or a bad one, if you are up early and want to sleep longer, I guess. I have 7 hours of classes today, but two courses finish today, so from next week onwards, I will have fewer hours to work. Hopefully no unpredictable random stuff comes up and I will finally manage to also write something for my dissertation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were going to a beautiful resort in St Lucia, 2 weeks of chilling by the pool or on a beach in a bikini, going on trips of what looks like an amazing and beautiful place, not to mention other newly wed things . Sounds like a lovely trip! Hope you get to have the best time and some alone weeks from mini sith, just the two of you.

Summer is great for the 4 weeks, two of which you spend on holiday, the other two in the countryside. I also heavily dislike summer fashion, the options for client appropriate yet 30+C friendly workwear are terribly limited. And I’m not a fan of short skirts or shorts. (Not short) Flowy dresses, sure, but that’s what you only get to wear on vacation for the most part. God, I’m awful. Such a Scrooge to summer.

Not the same as seeing it with a shadow cast performing in front of the screen and an audience who know plenty of callbacks, but there's a lot less of that happening these days. Glad you enjoyed it! You should give Shock Treatment a try - I think it's underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the first time she will be away from her mamas for such a long time? The show didn't bring us all together, the books by GRRM did. Honestly, I wouldn't even have noticed if it weren't for you people talking about it here and some on FB. I mean ... there is really no next in the sense that I actually finished something and my life is going to change a lot ... the internship was just one of the things I am doing currently. I am still teaching at a language school and still have to write for my PhD (which I never find time for ) and other assignments for the teaching qualification. And still ... I am not any more employed than I was. Sigh. Hope you get a job soon! eta: Wrt GOT's finale, (whoops, I better spoilerize this!) Spoiler For me, the ending was not bad. I know Linda went off on 43 minute youtube rant against the ending (which I did not need to watch and didn't). I don't care. I liked the ending - there just was too little going on for the amount of time they gave themselves. A third of the number of hours in that final season would have been plenty. Of course, some fans were already losing their minds that the season was only 6 ep.s, so they couldn't do 3 or whatever. Frankly, they just didn't have enough material for 6 hour plus ep.s.

Spoiler I thought this season was poorly written and rushed, but yeah, I'm fine with the ending itself. I disagree that they didn't have enough material though, it was the opposite. They rushed through a book's worth of material in six episodes, I'm not sure how you think this could have fitted in less episodes when making shortcuts in the story to get where the characters needed to be faster was this season's biggest problem (looking at Daenerys here).
