And with that, you finally earn the ignore. My God, you're a blow hard.

Wtf does this even mean? What is he spying on? Are they gonna have coke fueled orgies if Cooper goes on vacation.

It's becoming more and more apparent that the rotation is where money needs to be spent. They need a couple veterans to stabilize the rotation, eat innings, mentor and take some pressure off the kids. I think the lineup will be fine without free agency. They've had a terrible run of luck with pitcher health.

This is like 197th on the Sox list of problems.

It's Lip.

The load in his hands and swing remind me of Torii Hunter.

All this talk is moot. There's absolutely no way the White Sox are going to extend a pitcher with all these arm issues. I don't give a fuck who his agent is. The Sox won't even sign healthy pitchers long term. It's been the organizational philosophy for decades, and it's one of the few I actually agree with.

I pretty much already wrote him off when he had shoulder surgery, but this is obviously a bummer.

Oh Sox fans. When the Sox keep pitchers healthy, it's that they're "teaching them to pitch to contact and falling behind the times." When they let pitchers rip and the pitchers get hurt "they suck and they need to blow it up." Personally, I think some pitchers are just more injury prone.

I can already tell you - they're bad. Next thread.

It would be very White Sox to keep recycling old players and managers. What's Gene Lamont doing?

The show is stupid entertainment. It's not like you're dissecting Kurosawa or Tarkovsky here.

Can we just get rid of Birmingham? It's where hitters go to die.

Arya's entire subplot is about her becoming an assassin that can change faces and move without making a sound.

In the books, she grows increasingly ruthless, not like her dad, but ruthless nonetheless.

I watched on Amazon Prime and it was super dark and pixelated. I have a 150mb line, so it wasn't the connection.

The only interesting aspect left is that Jon is the rightful heir and he's banging his aunt. Dany has no legit claim unless Jon dies, which is a possibility. I always thought Dany would go mad from power lust and Jon would have to kill her, but that doesn't seem realistic now.

Considering my favorite characters have been Arya, Theon, Melisandre, Beric and Oberyn, I'm satisfied. ? I always loved that there was a war going on and the BWB never gave a shit. They were just out hunting Lannisters because Ned sent them on a mission in book 1. It's like those Japanese soldiers who never realized WWII ended. I am disappointed that White Harbour and the Crannongmen never played a role. I'd have liked to see Victarion too.

I'm sure plenty of named characters will die. Jaime for sure. Cersei for sure. Maybe Tyrion. One of Jon or Dany for sure.

Although, everything involved with Melisandre was bad ass imo.

It all has a very "just wrap it up" feel. I'm sure everyone involved in the production just wants to move on with their lives.

Also kind of disappointed that the Direwolves had no impact on the story and that we never got to see Nymeria and her pack shredding Lannisters.

4 and 5 are just bad, tbh.

I guess I just always hoped all the characters would intertwine into something more epic. I still can't figure out what importance Dorne even has to the story aside from a bad ass character in Oberyn and a legend (that wasn't even an actual character) in Ser Arthur Dayne. At least Highgarden added to the political aspect. Obviously this has nothing to do with the episode. ?

Dorne? I guess it's too late to add them again. It's weird because the entire Dornish aspect of both the books and the show was a giant waste of time. I hated Quentyn, but I was hoping it would at least lead somewhere.
