What kind of a take is this? First off, the final score was 121-104 for anyone who’s curious. Secondly, you’re pointing out that that Clippers shouldn’t have even made the playoffs, took this team to 6 games, but because Kevin Durant had a great game all the sudden the very same team you just said was playing way…

“he decided he wanted to play with the guys who laughed while they played.”

I tried giving it that charitable interpretation as well, but it still falls apart. The sentence should have read “Alex Smith was doing a serviceable job replacing Kirk Cousins” no matter what Gabe was going for. Excellent is just flat out wrong in any context.

My thoughts exactly. As a Washingtonian and former Redskins fan, I was flabbergasted to hear the words “Alex Smith” and “excellent” in the same sentence. Smith was doing perfectly fine- I’m not criticizing him at all. But to claim he was anything other than average, let alone that he was EXCELLENT, requires not having…

Do not buy the Gen 1. I have two of them, and they sound great, but the Alexa aspect of them is TEEEERRRRRIIIIBBLLEE! The Alexa features will frequently not hear you (even when I literally stand right next to it and SHOUT at it), they don’t understand what you’re saying, and are just generally useless. It got so bad…

Chris Webber is the worst. He sounds like the announcer for a an early 2000's video game- you could always tell the audio they recorded was supposed to be so utterly generic that the game can insert it at any point and have it be kind of applicable, but it’s utterly useless as analysis. “Warriors ball Warriors…

“I’m no legal expert”

I have no idea why you posted that response. Did you not follow along with the other comments to understand why I posted the actual NHL rules language? Or are you just repeating what the rules (as you say) clearly state for no apparent reason? What’s your point? Did you not understand my last paragraph where I…

Here’s what the NHL Rulebook says (http://www.nhl.com/nhl/en/v3/ext/rules/2018-2019-NHL-rulebook.pdf):

You’re not actually serious, right...? Like I said, literally the entirety of the first two episodes has been main characters sitting around talking. Have you not watched them? Yes, Davos and Gendry actually have jobs. Everyone else has been sitting down and engaging in conversations. And, like I also said, talking to…

This seems like a good example of an utterly useless news cycle. Journalist gets iced out of answers by Westbrook. Other journalist explicitly asks Kerr about it so he can write a story about Kerr’s anodyne response. Blogger sees article, writes new blog story about Kerr, when all Kerr did was make some pretty bland…

It occurs to me that the man leading the defense against the forces that bring people back from the dead is himself a man who was brought back from the dead. I wonder why that parallel hasn’t been addressed on the show...

I could not agree with you more. Just look to Saving Private Ryan if you want to see how to expertly enhance and expand upon the story during the “calm before the big battle storm” sequences. Most of the stuff that was happening in Ep. 2 was pretty meaningless, with a few exceptions, and it didn’t drive the story or…

Riiiiiggghhhhtttt...Tyrion, Jon, Sansa, Dany, Varys, et al, are all clearly too busy cooking, cleaning, and making their own weapons to talk to what is clearly the greatest sort of intelligence about their upcoming enemy in all of Westeros and who just so happens to literally be sitting in front of them with nothing…

The characters lack of curiosity about Bran’s magical powers has been utterly perplexing to me. Here’s this guy that CLEARLY has these incredible gifts, who is randomly spitting out information that he should not have any knowledge of, and yet nobody has thought “hey, maybe we should be talking this guy all the time…

I wholeheartedly agree about his Winterfell line. I thought that was the one (and probably only) only time they actually showed some depth and development for him in a very long time.

Yup. I agree with the author that the episodes are getting super heavy handed, and his redemption arc may be the most heavy handed of all. No actual development being shown- instead, they just show us him doing the things. It’s the quickest, most rushed way to show a character go from an utterly deplorable coward to a…

TOTAL nitpick, I know, but I always feel like we should say he reanimates the dead, not resurrects them. He’s not bringing them back to life after all.
