It doesn’t seem like it’s going to have long legs at the theater. It had a 50% drop in the second weekend box office, which is perfectly normal for a big budget movie and bad for a film counting on exceptional holding like Horizon. I’d be shocked if it earns more than $3 million on Weekend 3, and legs out to more than…

You beat me to it. That first season of The Terror is superb, and I recommend it all the time (don’t bother with the second season). 

The wiki of ice and fire says he’s “not considered bigger than Vhagar and Vermithor”, so I figured he’s up there with them (although still smaller than Balerion was).

I love how every time they show Vhagar taking flight, it’s like a kaiju monster rather than “just” a dragon. Makes me hope they actually do show the Cannibal at some point when they finally get to the feral dragons, since he’s supposed to be at least as big.

OG Blade Runner had a polluted, dirty, but lively city. Blade Runner 2049 had a polluted, deathly city that felt like it was on its last legs in many ways. They should have Blade Runner 2099 go full circle, and now it’s cleaned-up with clear air and restored land.

Honestly don’t know. I’m sure with enough time and funding they could probably pull another team together for it, and they’d have an advantage of prior experience in suit development from their current contract. But I don’t know if that would give them enough of an advantage over another company taking a crack at it.

Here’s hoping. They do still have the challenge of generating power via steam turbine, which means that the cost of that system to turn steam into electricity is going to be a fixed operating cost even if the operating cost of the reactor core itself is almost zero.

If they have to be huge, with huge upfront cost and specialized construction, then it’s unlikely they’ll be competitive on price unless you’re doing a mass buildout of plants like with nuclear fusion at enormous cost. I don’t think that’s competitive anymore in modern energy markets, and it definitely won’t be…

That was Ulf in the bar and Hugh with the kid last episode, right? 

I hope they at least learn something useful from it, although I don’t think it’s going to put us much closer to commercial fusion power. If fusion reactors have to be gigantic just to get past breakeven, they’re not going to be viable commercially. 

I’m not saying it’s a coincidence at all - I think he knew that his brother was visiting the same brothel, and was told he was seeing the same woman. 

He was drunk, but that scene very much came across to me as Aegon trying to humiliate his brother and send a message: “I know where you’re spending your time and hiding your whore, and that she’s important to you”. He didn’t just drunkenly stumble into that particular brothel with his entourage.

I wonder how long they’ll keep on making them, once they stop being sold in retail outlets and basically become something you’d have to buy through a specialized online outlet or Amazon (assuming you’re not just buying them used). There’s still foreign markets for them.

If it’s actually about chasing after Gollum, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s also basically an Aragorn movie too. 

Tesla’s still profitable, and still selling the lion’s share of EVs. But you can really see the impact of the Cybertruck mistake there - the lines of EVs that actually sell well are basically stagnant in design and update, while the Cybertruck doesn’t sell in enough numbers to make up for it (they’ve sold about 12,000…

Maybe he died off-screen. 

I love it every time we get to see the HOTD King’s Landing, with the budget to actually show it as a thriving, crowded place full of people. It’s pretty cool.

It’s really annoying that you literally can’t go on the ride unless you pay the upcharge for it and then manage to get into the queue to get the lightning lane pass. And that they upcharge you for it separately from the already existing upcharge per person per day that they do with the lightning lane pass in general.…

On a geological scale. If it takes a couple hundred thousand years to cycle back up, who cares - the waste would have long since decayed into a safer form by then. 

Water is very good for radiation protection. Bad news for wildlife that gets too close (as in within several feet of waste for really dangerous stuff, or like 20 feet for any radiation impact at all), but beyond that it’s not going to amount to much - the stuff is so heavily that it will settle on the sea floor even…
