sSounds like the plot of R. Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers” where humans and “Skinnies" are initially foes who team up to take down the Bugs.

I join in your assessment, and would like to add that she was apologizing for summoning Littlefinger and the troops from the Aerie without Jon’s knowledge or agreement.

In Forrest Gump, there is no bench in that spot, and the bus is running against the one-way traffic in the square. For a Savannian (resident of Savannah, GA), this is tooth-grinding.
I would say it makes us grind our teeth, but that would be dental hyperbole.

Just that “dragon-related death” gif makes me want to pound his head between his shoulders. Great actor.

I dunno ... it appears the only super power they have developed as a group is the ability to simultaneously call them selves Christians and Republicans, which (while amusing to historians) is hardly useful. I would rate it about equal to “Arm Fall-off Boy” in terms of usefulness.

Wonderful to know the origin of the word. Thank you!

Also, those things on her wrists are bracers, or guards, but not gauntlets ... gauntlets are long-handled gloves.

In 2010, HAL 9000 saw through their silly "kill switch" plan and rerouted power before Dr. Chandra could push the button.

I have seen this dagger. It is badly corroded (as you might expect from iron of that age).
To me, the remarkable dagger was the golden “companion” blade, that is the same shape as the meteoric iron dagger, and (being gold) is still mirror bright.
When I visited the museum in Cairo (in 1983), there were no cameras or…

Same-same ... elephants are eminently domesticate-able, as I said.

I think that tweet was remarkably open and honest ... Wesley is really serious about this role and asserts that he has wagered everything he has left on playing Blade again. He notes that he has put his testicles in Marvel’s court, which is everything he has left ... after all, the IRS still has his ass in their clamp.

I would have to agree. Nothing but nostalgia and devotion to academic brainwashing would continue to place Citizen Kane as “the best movie of all time.” I mean, it holds up pretty well, and shows some innovative techniques, and bravo to OW for inventing so may clever film tricks, but they have all been done better…

You’re suggesting that Snow resurrected spontaneously? Sure, it took a while, but even Miracle Max's death cure took a while to be fully effective, IIRC.

Well, if you leave out raising Jon Snow from the dead, I guess pretty spotty.

That smoke demon Melisandre birthed was pretty darn effective for the product of a charlatan.

The hero cat-fellah rescued an injured dog-fellah from the rat-fellahs, and won the trust of the dog folk.
Fun stuff, back in the day.

This is a 1972 Andre Norton novel about evolved cats who find that humans are coming back to earth. Pretty good visioning of what an evolved cat culture might look like, really.
