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

    • I won't write about injuries (Fede) and non-sporting matters (Colturi), but the fact is that Italy has its worst start to the season in alpine skiing in over 10 years... Just one victory, and podiums- if any, they're mostly 3 places. We're also not leading in any of the season standings, no in the women's or men's categories. This isn't how it should be in an Olympic year, where you're having your worst season in years.
    • Plaisier blew 3 match darts and Ratajski comes back to win!    
    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
    • Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel with a 5th place PB in Semmering GS! 
    • Today RDC will defeat Senegal  and Tunisia 0-0 Nigeria
