    It's a warm pour that goes in sweet transitions into smooth. Backs it up with complexity. Nice full finish. To no one's surprise, the Elliotts are virtuosi. 

    I would agree with this assessment. I really like that full mouth spice. Good shit.

    I can't put my finger on it, but my goodness Four Rose Small Batch Select is different, and good.

    About to have my first pour.

    I think I'd rather spend an hour with Grendel than drive to Hye AND have to drink GB.

    Shave a few strokes off your round by association at least.

    It was the Cat's Paw that Littlefinger gave an assassin to kill Bran. It's made of Valerian steel and has a dragonbone hilt. Catelyn Stark took it to King's Landing to show Ned. Littlefinger said Tyrian stole it (framing Tyrian for the assination attempt).  Littlefinger then betrayed Ned, kept the dagger for himself and later on gave the dagger to Bran, who gave it to Arya. It's the same dagger she killed Littlefinger with.

    Good summary. One minor mistake is that Littlefinger lost the dagger to Tyrion on a wager on the jousting match between Jaime and the Flower knight.

    The defense strategy of Winterfell was retarded (they seemed unprepared, and also had probably 80% of their most important fighters on the front line. much of what happened throughout the episode was telegraphed, and if the NK doesn't take a fucking eternity walking up to Bran all ceremoniously then he wins. End of story. It's a movie trope as old as time- bad guy could have won if he simply didn't inexplicably take his sweet time once victory was within his literal grasp. Also, he's surrounded by a literal army and yet Arya is able to come flying out of nowhere to kill him, totally unabated. It was also poorly lit and featured a bunch of fighting where you really couldn't make out what was happening. Also i could not make any sense of the two dragons, what, i guess, getting lost or something in the beginning? they couldn't turn around or fly higher? I mean I could keep going but everyone here would just lose their shit, insult me, cuss me out, neg bomb me, and then complain about how my combative personality ruins threads.

    i watched it with a friend. both of us were nonplussed by most of it due to so many plot holes and the immensely stupid tactics employed by the living. lyanna mormont was awesome, arya killing the NK was a pretty cool scene even if it was 1000000% telegraphed, and i'm excited that we can now return our focus to Kong's Landing. Other than that? Meh. This would rank last out of all of the big battle episodes for me. Too cheesy/predictable/derivative/hollywoodish to compare to previous battles. 

    I feel sorry for you.

    Okay, to those who didn't like it: what were you hoping for that you didn't get?  I'm not trying to be an asshole; I'm honestly curious.

    There were several key deaths.  Jorah went out like we knew he would.  Theon got to redeem himself in a blaze of glory.  Lady Mormont died heroically.  We got the dragon aerial battle.  Arya got the ninja kill on the Night King.  The two hottest women on the show, Sansa and Dany are still alive.  The cinemtography, music, and tension were great.  

    What did we miss out on?  What would've made you happier?

    If someone has a problem with that episode, they are just dead inside.

    Congrats to all Longhorns drafted and UDFA! 🤘🏼

    This comment from Gettleman makes me lmao:

    “I know for a fact there were two teams who would have taken [Jones] before 17 … It wasn’t easy for me to pass up Josh Allen. It was very very difficult. But I think that much of Daniel Jones and his future as an NFL QB,” Gettleman said, via Tom Rock of Newsday.

    The sign of a bad GM is the conjured demand for a player to make your stupid decisions look less stupid.
