    Honestly, I’m just glad after next week that it will be over.  It’s been an entertaining run, but after eight seasons and a lot of tedious reading it will be nice to have something different to talk about on Mondays.  

    I have little faith in GRRM ever finishing the books now.  

I dunno if there will be many more shows watched by so many people in the future. Audience is more and more fractured so no more water cooler talk. I mean, if we're not talking sports. I doubt Westworld is watched by many. I don't think Watchmen will be either, but who knows.

Did the show put too much of a premium on shock?

 

It didn't feel like a shock to me at all.

It was a shock to some though, see people who got Dany tattoos or named their kid Khaleesi. I agree with you, it's there in the show. Some people just don't want to see what's being intimated I guess.

Kind of skimmed through the article, but yes, as a book reader, Dany turning mad was inevitable. She's not the heroine portrayed for most of the show. I didn't like her much at all in the books.

   I agree with what you’re saying, but I also said the same thing about LOST.  I might not be for a few more years, but there’s bound to be some show that starts off well enough to capture our collective interest.

The petition is more a way to complain than an actual expectation for them to do anything.

Why isn’t it winter? 

They made such a big deal about it coming, and then “winter is here.”  But isn’t their winter supposed to last years? I’m concerned that the makers of skis, snowshoes, etc., in Westeros are getting shortchanged.

Winter was defeated. And, well, it's winter up north, but King's Landing is like South Carolina, I guess.

Ramin Djawadi won. 

These two tracks are so good. The first one especially when listened to during the episode, which was a big one.

   That’s it for that, I guess.  I’m not sure what I was expecting to happen, but I was hoping for more than an hour and a half (just about) of talking.

    • Day 153: putted for a while using the 2 cups drill inside. Working on bead primarily. Contact was really good. 
    • Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often. 
    • So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.
    • Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.
