If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me
BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!
At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."
Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

Originally posted by bigblue_dl View PostIt makes me worry that the Aegon storyline will be introduced, and I think it is way too late to introduce that story with 6 episodes left. Won't go into more detail, since that would actually be a book spoiler.
We should have a "who lives" contest. List say the 25 most important currently "living" (Jon Snow and the Night King count) characters and pick which ones are still in operational order when the last episode ends. No book learnin' allowed.
I'm a tyro compared to some here, but I'll do it as a multiselect poll if we can agree on a list.
Daenerys Targaryen
Jon Snow / Aegon Targaryen
Tyrion Lannister
Cersei Lannister
Jaime Lannister
Sansa Stark
Arya Stark
Bran Stark
Jorah Mormont
Sandor "The Hound" Clegane*
Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane*
Gendry (uh... Baratheon?)
Samwell Tarly
Theon Greyjoy
Bronn (Jaime's bromance)
Varys (the bald adviser)
Tormund Giantsbane
Brienne of Tarth
Missandei (Dany's slave lady)
Melisandre (the red witch hottie)

Re: Game of Thrones Season 6: Lions and Wolves and Sand Snakes, oh my!
So LOTR is on TV these days more than Shawshank and while I avoid it, the wife is often watching little segments.
It came up as to whether Ned reminds me of Boromir or vice versa as we are also currently watching GoT season 1.
We both agreed that they don't other than the obvious superficial, hey that's Sean Bean.
That's a credit to the actor imo coz they really are played as different characters.
Yeah… it's gonna be a long 18 months in this thread.
Love me some Sean Bean btw.Last edited by Gurtholfin; 08-31-2017, 10:15 AM.

Cornell?
That's your program?
I still break out in cold sweat when I think of Cornell and the 2006 Regional.
Single most gut wrenching sporting event that I ever attended that didn't involve my kid's teams.

Originally posted by state of hockey View PostGendry's last name would be Waters if he was recognized as a bastard of Robert. But he never was, so I guess he just doesn't have a surname.
Another should have been obvious hint to Jon's mother's identity, all the way back in the first moments of episode 1, was that his name was Jon SNOW. The bastard name follows the homeland of the mother, so that should have told us right away that Jon's mother was from the north. If his mother was some of the other rumored women, he'd have been Jon Sand, or Jon Rivers.Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 6: Lions and Wolves and Sand Snakes, oh my!
I figured it was Snow because Ned openly claimed him as his bastard but never told anyone who the "mother" was or where she came from."I went over the facts in my head, and admired how much uglier the situation had just become. Over the years I've learned that ignorance is more than just bliss. It's freaking orgasmic ecstasy".- Harry Dresden, Blood Rites
