Bran is behind the bark beyond the Wall. Turning him into a tree went a long way towards me deciding to drop this bloated series.

IMO, the first book was really good. It didn’t have much magic in it and was pretty tight. After that one, they seemed to go downhill. The last two books (or the last book, if you want to look at it that way) were terrible.

The series is marred by both. The last book had a ton of plot lines that went nowhere (the guy that goes across an ocean and gets promptly killed by the chained dragons, Mereen, the fact Daenerys chained up her dragons, Brienne wandering around accomplishing nothing, etc.) but there is also too much focus on “world…

No one can literally be you.

So it has a local connection and is being locally reported?

This is the first I heard about it. I'm sure it is getting major airtime locally, but nationally? No.

Jesus. The Exorcist, Jaws and the Poseidon Adventure in ONE RIDE???? I just shit my pants thinking about it.

“Had no clue.”

Gotta throw in Mitch fucking Albom. And the answer to your question is absolutely nothing would get solved but they'd tell happy, albeit shitty, stories in lieu of actually reporting/solving anything.

You know that people write bullshit stories on the internet every day to draw in readers, right? It’s great you’re a Chiefs fan. Good for you. Enjoy their “brilliant” run against shit teams. When they lose in the first round, have a box of tissue nearby, homer.

Then who would blow up Death Star 4?? Gotta have Nub out there, yo.

It also mirrors the Emperor falling/getting tossed down the shaft in ROTJ.

You’re probably right, but why bring that crew in if not to do a martial arts scene? I think we'll see them again.

Definitely there. Lots of “Luke’s Theme” when she’s onscreen, including the pivotal scene when Luke's saber flies to her.

You’re an idiot because you’re claiming that, as a super fan, you know more about this team’s talent than anyone else, regardless of facts. You don’t. That’s why you’re a homer idiot. This team played a soft schedule with a weak coach and a QB that won’t win anything, ever.

OK, we get it. You’re a homer idiot. You can stop now.

Thanks again. Seriously, you can stop now.

Thanks. Next time, just start your comment with “I’m an idiot!” so that anyone that might wish to respond to you knows that up front.

It’s not a “false analogy”. Gun ownership rates are not an “analogy”. They’re stats. Hard to argue with stats.

No argument there, but you miss an important point. The statistics show blacks kill other blacks at disproportionately higher rates. Why that is the case is definitely open for debate. To me, the most likely reason is simply poverty. We’ve known poverty breeds crime since forever, regardless of race. Unfortunately,…
