  1. Yeah, I took it to mean he was the sea snakes Jon Snow.
  2. That was a great episode! Finally, shit went down.
  3. Also, who cares if she fucks the bartender? I ff through that shit. That’s the type of filler bullshit that gets eliminated in a 2 hour movie.
  4. That was essentially the "twist" in that HBO miniseries with Hugh Grant that most have very nearly forgotten about, also by David E Kelley. The creepy dude that's maybe falsely accused did it all along. Not a great twist IMO.
  5. It's grown kinda meh for me. I find myself fast forwarding through scenes with characters I don't care about. I still like some of the shock humor (breastfeeding homelander . . . lulz), but the 1st season was great because of all the intrigue behind the supes' backstory and the vought operation. That's all gone now, and the satire is so on the nose now that it's as ridiculous as the gore humor. Satire works best when it's clever and at least slightly subtle. If next season is gonna be the last season (what I've heard), they should have just made that this season.
  6. it's releasing weekly.
  7. cool front pushing through N Texas. In fucking July. Super jealous.
  8. Oh the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear And he shows them pearly white You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe Scarlet billows start to spread
  9. ^that html markup for besthugecocks.com is wild
  10. Only search for the video on twitter if you want to see a poor lady missing her calf. Brutal.
  11. You yell "Barracuda," everybody goes "huh, what?" You yell "Shark," and we got a panic on our hands on the 4th of July.
  12. I predicted Skarsgard as the killer earlier, speculating he was the guy at work that Pulanis was scared of. But now that they actually showed a scene confirming my suspicions, I am doubting that prediction - it seems too obvious now.
  13. That's one of my big problems. I remember when the Stark ancestor was onscreen a few episodes back, I was like "fuck yeah, a good guy." But nope, back to KL and dragonstone to dwell on rotten people.
  14. If you loved GOT, you should watch it. It has much, much slower pacing. . . lots of buildup to an eventual war we all know is coming. It's a much smaller story (1 book for the whole show). It's nowhere near as good as peak GOT (like seasons 1-3), but it's much better than the shit David and Dan put out at the end of GOT where they ran out of book material and were just throwing shit to the wall as hastily as they could.
  15. I think the price increases we have seen the past year or two will start abating soon. Most big P&C insurers lost money in 22-23 as premiums were not set high enough to cover claims (the labor and materials inflation from covid took years to fully work through the insurance system). That has changed now, with many P&Cs reporting quite healthy profits in 24. Allstate's EPS experience over time is typical. Eventually, price competition will eat away at this, as insurance customers are extremely price sensitive. But in the long run, I think you'll see more people carry liability only on their cars or set higher deductibles on their comp/collision (if their lender allows). Same thing for homeowners, as @UTGrad98 says above. The days of insurance companies buying Texans a new roof every 15 years are probably over (and should be). The real culprit is that it is fucking expensive to repair homes and cars now. The insurers are largely just the messenger on that.
  16. I couldn't decide what the most ill conceived plan of the episode was: a) Daemon's contemplated fixer upper flip of Harrenhal (sure, that seems doable . . . by himself I guess); b) Ryneera sneaking into KL to smoke the peace pipe around the prayer circle with Alicent (so 20 seconds after she walks away she is captured and killed and the show ends).
  17. After pioneering the inclusion of gratuitous and needless female nudity in almost all of its shows, I guess HBO has decided to pivot to fully nude dudes now.
  18. He's married to the queen and he's long fancied himself as the rightful heir to his brother anyway. Remember in his latest argument with RT that he referred to "our reign" or something to that effect and she had to correct him.
  19. I feel like the 1st season covered far more ground. This season is like watching soccer for me; it’s a big deal when someone crosses midfield. Fucking get on with it.
  20. Perhaps, but the audience rating has gone slowly down for each season 1-3, which seems accurate, before cratering this season, which also kinda rings true. I did enjoy the barnyard spectacle though. It was wild and quite funny. The rest of the episode was sorta meh. I can’t decide if I dislike the character of Ryan or the actor playing him more.
  21. The critics still love it (mainly for its satire I think), but it’s tanking with its audience. This season has a 53% user rating on RT. It kinda feels like they are dribbling out the shot clock this season with gore pron until Ryan kills homelander in season 5 and the good guys win.
  22. I listened to a WTF episode with him a while back and he started out in show business as a comedic musician and found some success, opening for Springsteen and Billy Joel in the 70s. Talented guy.
