QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:14 PM) Still too early to say he's out IMO. Doesn't Varys lie to Tyrion about his plans in the book as well? They could just be saving Aegon for a big episode 10 reveal with his invasion of Westeros starting off season six. I think some of the major characters from Feast & Dance that have been omitted from th show, like Euron for instance, will show up in some capacity next season. It's a possibility, but it's pretty late in the game to introduce major players. They only have 2 seasons left.

If Aegon was actually a Targeryan, they'd have cast him in the show.

It's gonna be a crazy summer. Hopefully nothing happens in Chicago. This city is simmering as well.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) I don't disagree, I've been trying to think why they did that myself. It's a parallel with his brother. He will become her advisor.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) In the books, they mention that Theon used to have sex with the miller's wife. There is a theory, and the timeline does match up, that at least one of those boys were actually Theon's. It doesn't affect the plot at all, but it would give new meaning to when he is referred to as a 'kin slayer' I'm not sure what theory you are referencing here??? I didn't understand the stare either but I didn't really take away any significance from it. I'm not mentioning fan fiction theories. The writers do know the endgame though. There's a reason they shot that scene the way they did.

I think the book readers may have been given a huge spoiler yesterday.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) When Reek was staring at the bodies at the beginning of this episode, were those symbolic of his dad and sister or was it just him remember when he killed the fake Stark boys? Fake Stark boys and he's been flayed himself.

The first time I saw him play, I couldn't believe how bad his instincts were in the field. He's just lousy out there.

Littlefinger is convincing Sansa that she can avenge her family through manipulation, like his rise to power. Littlefinger wants control of the North through Sansa and The Eyrie through Robin. I'm glad they're getting rid of characters I didn't like ie Quentin, Fake Arya and Aegon. The 4th and 5th books were a chore to read because they're boring and uneventful. I'm disappointed they're not including the Iron Born. I though the uncle's would be great for TV. Victorian, Euron and Damphair are all bad asses.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 10:38 PM) GOT is officially off the reservation on the plot. Looks like a bit of rewriting. Definitely. I'm loving every minute of it.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 10:04 PM) i am a huge movie goer. i enjoy watching movies even some of the so called weak movies. now on the flip side, some of the great movies, i don't get into. saying that, all of the Zack Snyder films, i didn't like. i didn't get into it, the story line was, at least for me not strong. then again i wouldn't know what strong is. now for Micheal Bay, most of his movies i enjoyed. i wouldn't know if any had substance, but it was a brain dead movie for entertainment value. his movies is right there for me with Michael Mann movies. people will have opinions and i know my taste in movies is on a very broad spectrum. here is a question, no one like the Transformer first movie??? why?? Michael Mann films are brain dead? Ok, I need to get out of this thread.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 10:14 PM) I saw the score was 3-0 going into the 9th and Avi had just reached 2nd base. So I promptly went to the convenience store to get M&M's and Powerade, and poof....couldn't believe the score when I came back. (The Bryant homer was further adding to the gloom). A lot like the time in late 2005 when the White Sox were wiping out the Royals....I gave up and went to bed (was in the Valle de Cauca in Colombia at the time), and was absolutely shocked and frightened they'd somehow lost that game and that's when the apprehension about choking and the Indians closing in started to sink in. Walk off win - Bryant post in the post game thread. I hate this kid as much as Puig now and I've never even seen him hit.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 10:17 PM) Melkys 2-2 take was just incredible. Nasty pitch he read perfectly. This team needs to take this energy to the first inning tomorrow. Come out score some runs early and get going. I sure hope this propels this team to start a winning streak. They must have had some tell on Allen. They were all over everything and nobody lays off that pitch.

That take on 2-2 was incredible. That was a nasty pitch. Just nasty.

That's awesome.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 09:30 PM) It's a good question, would you take our last decade including '05 or the Tigers' last decade? It's not a good question. Many a good white sox fan lived a long life without ever seeing a World Series win. Nobody can ever take the experience of winning one away. It was more special for us than the vast majority of fans because a lot believed it would never happen.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 09:23 PM) This bullpen is really coming together. Too bad the offense sucks and our 3-5 rotation guys have sucked. Samardzija has gotten better each start after the first two rocky outings. Personally, I never had high expectations for the offense. We have 4 proven hitters and a ton of question marks with little experience. We're starting Conor, Eaton, Garcia, Johnson and Flowers. None of those guys are really proven hitters. This shouldn't be surprising.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) It's not like we got a lot of coverage even when the Cubs were losing 95 games every year the last five seasons. Barring a dynasty-type run by the Sox, this is not going to change. Right. The Sox will never be popular. Who gives a s***? We have enough fans and enough payroll to produce a winner.

Jennings was a real good pick up. He's got a good arm.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 04:49 PM) Episode III was a good movie. I'd rank it as the third best in the series; not as good as the first original two, but significantly above RotJ. Only Eps 1 and 2 were crap. It was really bad too. The pacing was bad. The tone was inconsistent. The acting and dialogue were cringeworthy. I tried to trick myself into liking it for a long time, but at some point, I just had to admit it was bad too.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 02:21 PM) Is that Rogue One concept trailer online? I can't find it, I thought it was just shown at a conference or something. Yeah, but just cams. It's just a camera shot of Yavin (maybe) with the Death Star in the background and audio of soldiers talking.

At this point, I prefer to pretend the PT never existed. They really are just bad movies in just about every way imaginable. Redlettermedia did a great job of illustrating it, especially the focus being on Anakin. It really should have been Obi Wan's story. I'm probably more interested in Rogue One than Episode VII, though I can't wait for both. A gritty war movie set in the Star Wars universe directed by Gareth Edwards? Yeah, I'm in. Apparently they've even hired some of the production team from Saving Private Ryan.

Johnson will be fine at the plate. I do worry about his defense though. It's just plain bad.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 05:48 PM) Well, you can't be a fan of him starting this week and then being shut down in mid to late August, either. It's the best way to limit his innings and pitch count for the next 2-3 weeks while he gets his feet wet...and he can refine his fastball and change mechanics with Cooper and Geo Soto to watch over him and monitor his daily progress. And it's impossible to discount the PR angle of it...although I hardly doubt there will be any type of attendance bump like the Cubs are getting with Bryant (at least Fri and Sat). Do you have to mention Bryant in every post?

Sanchez must hate Melky.
