Spoilers below for the first episode of season 7, Dragonstone. Just a quick recap of the first episode, and then I’ll put in some updated predictions: – The cold open with the Freys was excellent. I did not realize the show would have that many Freys. There was just an acre of them. And they all deserved every second of… Read more »
Let me start this post with something that I don’t often have the occasion to say: I am not a fan of Dr. Who. This isn’t because I dislike it, I just… never got into it. I have zero feelings at all toward the show, but a slight bit of repulsion from some of the more over-the-top fans. (Often, the… Read more »
Having re-watched the first six seasons over the course of several months, in bits and pieces, and also having viewed the preview material provided by HBO, and attempting to understand the way D&D and GRRM might play the story out, I’m ready to make some predictions! We’ll go by region, as before: Essos: I’ll be surprised if we see much… Read more »
Ugh. That’s the feeling of every Capitals fan the last two days. On the same day a year apart eliminated by the damn Penguins? Ugh! In the West I got both the number of games and the winner right in both series’. In the East, I got everything wrong. I could not have been more wrong without picking teams that… Read more »
Edited: I had a brain fart and wrote that the Rangers had home ice in round 2. I realized this after the fact. They do not. Ottawa does. Wow, round one had some surprises and a few series which were pretty great at busting brackets — mine included. Let me recap for those who aren’t paying attention, and also predict… Read more »
The national hockey league needs either better referees or a person on the outside of the ice able to review plays and take some of the control away from the blind zebras on the ice. The series so far for the Washington Capitals has been filled with: – Leafs players constantly stick-grabbing, like it’s a gay night club. (Especially Game… Read more »
This story is one I’m a bit conflicted on — I dislike Bill O’Reilly, and have for a long time. He’s always struck me as a blowhard, a self-important rambler, and somewhat of a dunce. Yeah, he’s been extremely successful but he always struck me as a slimy guy. That said, he’s no worse than the shrieking piglets screeing on… Read more »
Update: It turns out the article is a hoax by a clever troll, which makes me feel a tad foolish. However, the fact HuffPo published this — thinking it was real — ought to show people where their values are. I’m not even going to pretend to be nice about this racist shrew. Some of the biggest blows to the… Read more »
Meant to post this yesterday but there’s always something in the way. Here we go: My full bracket is as follows: Round 1: Capitals over Leafs, Penguins over Blue Jackets, Habs over Rangers, Bruins over Senators, Blackhawks over Predators, Wild over Blues, Ducks over Flames, Oilers over Sharks. I don’t expect any sweeps in the first round; maybe the Caps… Read more »
Instapundit linked to this bit of opinion spewed about a reddit post. That’s right, I’m going to comment on her comments on a reddit post, because it’ll give me something to do between car shopping that isn’t mind-numbingly annoying. First, I’d like to lodge the complaint that complaining about men’s opinions in this way has to at least be as… Read more »
