Creating a retroactive standard that is impossible to meet, then enforcing that standard unevenly between press organizations is the definition of arbitrary and capricious. Take ‘em back to court. 

Cabs are more expensive in part because they have to be insured and bonded to operate. Ubers don’t. So if your driver commits an error or otherwise causes you injury, that driver may or may not have insurance, and you can’t sue Uber.

Maybe. The chances are low not for lack of wrongdoing, but political reality.

That said, if this goes before a judge who finds Casada and Cothren not credible, Jones could use that as part of a civil suit later. From what I can tell, the e-mail has already been introduced before a judge in the Jones case — so the…

But that’s not time travel... that’s time... fraud. Yes. Time fraud. And while I’m not an IT expert, I do know there’s only one way to deal with time frauds.

I’m still calling shenanigans (though I appreciate your explanation.) Even if that is true, it does not change the fact that Casada and Cothren were aware that the communication was sent on (or bef0re) February 25th — before the bail conditions were placed.

“IT issues” do not include time-travel (yet.) If you and I…

He’s not some random rube unacquainted with legal questioning and interrogation. He’s not only been a USAG before, but he’s also former DOJ and CIA.

She was never going to get a whole lot out of him, and that wasn’t the primary goal. The goal was to judo his obvious evasiveness into making him look as uncredible,…

Rafi, you left out this gem:

“Strangely, the DA’s Office says that, before Cade Cothren gave them the picture with the altered date, he had actually given them an email with the original date. He supposedly blamed that one on an IT issue.”

Just to emphasize this —- He not only filed a false report, but he lied to the…

Keep in mind, all but a few houses still don’t understand or believe the true gravity of the threat. John spent 75% of the series on his knees begging other houses to send anyone at all. Convincing them to completely abandon their lands and evacuate all of their citizens would’ve likely been considered a laughable…

The original plan was to lure the Night King to the tree with Bran, to get ambushed by both of Danerys dragons and the million or so arrows from Theon’s team.

Instead, Danerys overextended in front of the walls to fight Wights, only to have her and Jon ambushed themselves, by the Night King’s dragon. Theon’s team (and…

Fair enough. I appreciate the narrative fit of the visual effects. The overwhelming darkness is key not only for both the reasons you mention, but to emphasize the intense contrast of fire. Those moments like when the dragons breathed fire onto the battlefield for the first time, or when Melisandre lit the swords of…

“The subversion of expectations - that the hero wasn’t the one who was the strongest but the one who was the most cunning - was one of the things that made the show the phenomenon that it is.

This is the final culmination of the threat the entire North has dreaded ever since the 300 mile wall was built 8,000 years ago.

But seriously, folks — can we just move this along?

Lord.

Okay.

Using water for beer pong and drinking from your own beer is both practical and mitigates risk. Playing this way requires less work to set up, start play, and clean and it eliminates vectors.

If there is an alternative way to do something that requires less work and mitigates any amount of risk, then it is i…

Eliminating risks and mitigating risks are two different concepts. One is unrealistic. The other is practical. 

Can you safely say a ping pong ball that has been on any number of hands, likely never washed since purchased, and bounced and rolled along dirty floors is really not an issue?

How mysterious should the Wights be, eight seasons later?

And a wrongful death suit. 

“Their inability to wrap the threat in the north into the political story is their own failure.”

What are you talking about? Jon practically spends most of the show maneuvering with what very little leverage he has, to unite as many scattered, mutually hostile factions together in time to face the threat. 

Holy crap this is episode three of six episodes and you’re disappointed more main characters didn’t die?
