All about the streaming services. I have an account for most of them. They’re just so much better than cable tv.

And it's getting more and more divided. Not everyone has the financial options to take 3, 4, 5 and before you know it 10 subscriptions.

But GOT ends with the Great War. GOT began 20 years or so after Robert's Rebellion, which was the end of the Targaryen dynasty and so the logical end for this prequel.

Okay Robert’s Rebellion is whatI meant.

True, but if you’re not paying for tv...

You could also just choose only a few to pay per month and then cancel your subscription until there’s something you want to watch.

With what we pay for regular TV we could maybe take one more subscription on some streaming service. Which wouldn't be a great idea, because unlike you we do actually watch quite some TV.

Why? :p

 

Honestly the only reason my family still watches TV is because of college football, and HBO.

Because there's programs my parents like and programs (mostly sports) I like. Watching TV because there's things on it we like seems like a pretty obvious reason to watch TV.

 

"Why do you listen artist X?"

"Well, possibly because I like the music of artist X?"

 

Seriously, what a question.

The GoT prequel that was supposed to go thousands of years back has been cancelled suddenly. 'House of Dragons' about the Targaryans has been confirmed though. I wonder how far back it goes, hopefully to before the Doom of Valyria.

 

I think they'll start with Aegon the Conquerer though. Anyway, we will wait for maybe 10 years until Martin publishes the second part of "Fire and Blood".

I have 30-40 pages more to finish the first part. Fun to read, really. And the Dance of the Dragons is so sad part. What a stupid way to lose dragons. I wanted HBO's Daenerys to burn the citizens of King's Landing -.-

My guess (and that of many people probably, because it makes sense) would be four seasons, roughly focussing on specific parts.

 

1. Aegon's Conquest

2. Dance of Dragons

3. Blackfyre Rebellions

4. Robert's Rebellion

We very much agree on this. Your sir are a visionary :p

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
