I at least finished Lost, so I don't mind being strung along by bullshit.

For whatever you think of its ending (and I loved it), Lost at least ENDED. It had a resolution. Fucking X-Files... just... GAH.
If you like two decades worth of edging that truly never reaches climax, that's the X-Files mythology arc in a nutshell. Chris Carter should be bitch-slapped for the second revival season premier alone.

Are we doing the fantasy league thing again? Did I miss it?

Fantasy GoT is the best part of this whole thing. I’m still in Africa, somebody organize!

I've got a league. PM me for invite; I'm going to cap it at 8 players so we can all have decent sized teams. If someone wants to make another one for either an overflow or a "let everyone join and we all have 2 players", go for it.

Maybe you should flip the scoring logic so the game is trying to predict who survives.

They're giving out bonus points this season for anyone who survives the show.

Need more people to sign up to Rendakor's league. Come on people, it requires nothing of you beyond thinking of a clever name to call your team.

Sent.
We're currently sitting at 7 teams (including Straz), but I think I've sent out a few more invites as requested. I'm not going to send any more, to give everyone time to accept. If we're still at 7 by the weekend and someone else is interested, I'll send out a last minute invite. Please set your Draft Rankings once you've joined the league; I'd like to have our draft on Wednesday 4/10.

Our 2019 Fantasy Game of Thrones Teams:
Khaleesi Ocasio-Cortez 2020 - Samwise
Diplomatic Immunity - Strazos
Theon’s Missing Cock - Cyrrex (Ready)
Tits & Dragons - Soln (Ready)
A team has no name - Teleku
Non-Copernican Cosmology - MahrinSkel (Ready)
Valar Somethingsomething - Rendakor (Ready)
Brienne's Brass Balls - Phildo (Ready)
I think I correctly matched the real names to screen names; if I fucked any up, let me know. Ready indicates that your Draft Rankings are done and you have autodraft turned on. To set them, go to Settings, then Set Draft Rankings and rearrange the cast to your liking. Don't forget to toggle Autodraft to On, for the sake of everyone's sanity. I'm going to do the autodraft this coming Wednesday, unless everyone is set before then.

That was a fun exercise, is there a pool for how many of the characters score 0 or negative points?

I'm hoping to push the Draft button around 5pm EST on Wednesday, in case anyone wants to watch it happen. If work gets fucky (like it tends to the week before vacation) that might get delayed.

Draft done. I'm on mobile (and at work  ) so I can't easily post the teams. I'll do so after work if no one else feels like it. |

Probably the best episode in a couple of seasons, IMO.
I am sure it will go careening downhill from here.

For 7 seasons and 4 or 5 books Jamie has been called the Kingslayer by everyone he meets. Until I watched the preview for the next episode it somehow completely slipped my mind that the king he slayed was Dany's dad.
This episode also put me firmly in the "I don't want Dany to end up on the throne" camp.

I'm ok with fan service if it is as good as that.
Theon and Sansa's bits espeicially. The Jon and Sam thing was better than it had any right to be.
And compared to the last 20 episodes or so, that was some pretty great plot compression.
Excluding the fancy set piece episodes - best one for a long time. I was shocked to feel some actual tension.
