Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I feel like Neil was pretty ahead of the curve with having queer/non-binary characters and treating them like people (shocking, I know). The flip side I also thought about was that women/queer/trans people historically have been targets of violence in real life for being who they…

Don’t forget brand-nonaligned space ships and super submarines. Loved me some space ships back in the day.

Hob is the best. Particularly for his toast at what he thinks will be his last meeting with Dream.

“Nice womp rat.” 

The books are really good, and will likely flesh out a lot of the plot in the way that books vs adaptations usually do. I’d say pick based on your preference - do you prefer watching the adaptation after book series, or watching the series and then reading the source material? Your preferred order of operations is…

That’s all I could think about at the end of the episode. Even looked into buying the soundtrack based on that cut alone. So. Fucking. Amazing.

After the season ended, and the playoffs were set, I told my friends (we’re all Minnesota fans) “Too bad a good season has to end in getting swept by the Yankees again.” They called me a doubter and a scrooge. I just shrugged. It was inevitable.

It’s just so... *kisses finger tips*

+1 Guild of Calamitous Intent

To be fair, that’s the standard Minnesota greeting for anyone who is not a blood relative or life-long friend.

This is the most Zlatan Ibrahimovic headline ever.

Counterpoint: This is the worst possible outcome of the entire playoffs. I hate the Blues personally and I hate the Bruins because I am an American sports fan outside of New England. 

I’m going to mentally ret-con what happened last night and choose to believe this is what happened. I’m already a happier person for it!

That was the one thing that really bugged me - I wanted some kind of explanation for the origins and motivations of the Night King. With so many theories about his “True Identity” I guess I built him up to be more interesting in my head, and he turned out to just be kind of a cocky dick of a necromancer.

Yeah, going back to Sandman she was a story teller, and pretty chill. This seems like they’re taking some artistic liberties, to say the least.

+1 Every girl crazy bout him.

I had not heard this theory before, but holy shit that’s brilliant and makes so much sense. Seems like a great way to fill out the last 3 episodes.

You could argue that the preparations for the battle of Helms Deep leaned into that a bit. It never really reckoned with the fact that all the kids and old men we see before the battle die, though. 

I hope they never take the mask off, and he more or less is Chief from the game, and this new character functions as his foil in a way Cortana did - as his more human counterpart. They could also do some fish-out-of-water stuff, where the Chief (who has only ever know combat and military life) has to interact with…

+1 he needs his lucky AI chip.
