This is where the time skip really sucks because we've spent absolutely zero time with the twins to really feel any emotional connection at all with either of them. Also running into the same problem GoT had with the actor who is supposed to be portraying a mentally unstable ruler not really getting it across either…

This is exactly it, the comic and the original movie capture the moment and the underlying culture and current in the moment and reflect it. This just looks like hacky dogshit. 

They’re going to get this movie done in 16 months?

This is the problem with the level of interconnectivity after endgame though, general audiences think every movie is connected and need to see it all. So if they don't, they've stopped going. (that's at least some of it)

Sam also has important candle business going on

He can’t finish it because there is no finish. All the choices D&D made to finish the show that pissed off fans are choices GRRM won’t make. He’s thrown out new plot lines in the 5th book that there’s no satisfying ending to. Don’t forget where these characters are in the book.

State Farm is a mutual company, their net worth is based off investments. They actually lost about 27 cents on the dollar in premium collected last year.

FWIW the way insurance works is that the funds are pooled and paid out as claims come in. When claims paid out exceeds premium dollars rates go up regardless of your individual results. That's the business of insurance. Progressive aggressively changes their rates to keep their combined ratio below 100% (which means…

Bringing back Rey and JJ or Rian aren't involved? Yes please. 

This is ultimately why they'll all kill Android auto and Apple carplay to lock you into their shitty ecosystem

I just don't know how much it matters? Maybe he'll help directors/writers form a coherent vision for a shared universe and concept,but ultimately WB wants to make Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman movies and they're going to do that regardless of what Gunn says. Maybe he fills in the fringes with a Booster Gold or…

I’m guessing this is why the maesters over the next hundred years systematically eliminate them to extinction. After what I'm sure we're about to see at least

I guess the book makes it seem like it's on purpose, but the book also is just like a history book written in universe, so there's no context or could be written by a point of view. 

I will say at least over the last 2 episodes they've established someone to root against. I'm still not sure I'm rooting for The Blacks (eek this is pretty terrible) but I'm strongly against the Greens. Also could Otto Hightower have any stronger plot armor? Any other character and they'd be a dragon snack. Also color…

I think the child birth stuff is simply to show that Rhaenyra is built differently, but I do agree with the writer of this article that we've gotten the point already 

I don't get the feeling (maybe it's that we haven't spent enough time with the adult version) that she really wants to be Queen, just expects to be. Otherwise she'd have been more discreet with her Paramore. 

He would not, he's every maniac Targaryen trope at this point 

Except Aemond is also a stupid asshole. None of them are fit for rule, which I guess may be the point of the show. 

Very cool that the most powerful family in Westeros is so stupid to be manipulated by Otto Hightower and his daughter. There isn't a single Targaryen actually interested in being ruler! Fantastic. 

Not to be that guy but they actually appeared in the very first episode.
