This Sunday...
Re: This Sunday...





No spoilers - or post a warning - because I'll be waiting until the whole season is available before I splurge on a month of HBO access.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Re: This Sunday...
We're taking advantage of the really nice weather we're having to have some friends over for a barbecue, followed by a re-play of the last two episodes of Season Six of GOT (which work really well together as a two-hour finale set-up for the new season) followed by the premiere of the first episode of Season Seven...



This Sunday...
As I read it, almost the entire armada that Daenerys leads on the way to Westeros is swallowed up by a gigantic tidal wave. They had to complete the voyage using dugout canoes and rafts. The ensuing battle is really gruesome -- but, fortunately, many of the young women are fighting topless.

I read an episode summary and as usual, Ray has decided that his ass is the appropriate orifice from which to speak.
But I think people will enjoy watching who finally avenges the Red Wedding.

Re: This Sunday...
I'm all for the BBQ, but really nice weather doesn't make me want to go watch three hours of TV (I know, I know, its your thing, and I'm glad you had fun). I stole a long glorious Sunday with my Swede, starting with a leisurely breakfast (and coffee so good I made a second pot), then doing a bit of work (and watching my Swiss boyfriend win #8/#19) while he went running and grocery shopping. Afternoon we were on the beach with friends, I made a yummy summer dinner, and gorgeous rose sangria, and early to bed so he could shoot back to Maine for the week, and I could get killed by my trainer. It was a really good weekend.Lord Jim wrote:We're taking advantage of the really nice weather we're having to have some friends over for a barbecue, followed by a re-play of the last two episodes of Season Six of GOT (which work really well together as a two-hour finale set-up for the new season) followed by the premiere of the first episode of Season Seven...

Are you suggesting that I am wrong... again? Damn! I guess that also means that John Snow wasn't attacked and dismembered by Viserion over a pay dispute.I read an episode summary and as usual, Ray has decided that his ass is the appropriate orifice from which to speak."
I better check my sources more thoroughly in the future.

I hear you. There's another filthy four-letter word that also starts with 'S' and ends in 'W' that I don't need to hear until at least Christmas.Guinevere wrote:It's the height of summer. Anyone who says that "W" word near me, prepare to die.....
Just remember, though — the hot weather we are (sort of) complaining about today is the same weather we're going to be longing for six months from now.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Re: This Sunday...
Or three months . . .

Re: This Sunday...
I'm not complaining, this is my fave season of the year. I'd be happy with 6 months of summer and two months each of the other three seasons.

Yeah, if I had to deal with similar scenes like this on a regular basis I'd probably be happy with a six month summer, too.Guinevere wrote:I'm not complaining, this is my fave season of the year. I'd be happy with 6 months of summer and two months each of the other three seasons.

Re: This Sunday...
I'd opt for a six month Fall--banish the rain and mud of Spring, the heat and humidity of Summer, and the ice and snow of Winter to 2 months each and let's have six months of cool, crisp, dry weather with the added bonus of the leaves turning color.
Re: This Sunday...
The horror! Fall is nice, but spring is the most beautiful time of the year!

Re: This Sunday...
No. Spring is wet, soggy, muddy, and miserable. Give me summer.

Re: This Sunday...
Well that's 2 for summer and one each for fall and spring; anyone else
Re: This Sunday...
I guess we'll have to settle for a balance of all four seasons, then.

Re: This Sunday...
Just finished Season 6. Resigned to the fact that I won't be seeing Season 7 for another 2-3 years, if then. Should be back in SA for the foreseeable future at the end of September, assuming I'm living. Oh well....
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

That's ok Meade, you will still see it before me. .
