2. Sure, Sam and what's-her-face need to get to OldTown so we need to track them. But that was like 5 minutes that could have been used elsewhere.

Ugh, yes. This storyline is just boring, to be honest. Really doesn't need to be revisited until they get to wherever they're going.

3. You make Arya blind for three episodes? Felt like a soap-opera turn. At least the Arya arc showed that her list is shorter and maybe her list will lead to her being on missions to kill them? Some hope there.

You know, I took that scene a different way. When she was asked about the list and she replied with "what name would you like me to say", I took it as she has added that faceless woman to the mix as well. She couldn't yet list her officially because she doesn't know her name.

4. Of course Bran doesn't go in the tower. Of course.

You expected something else? Are you new to this series?

5. Are we going to do the Starks-miss-each-other again (aw shucks!)? eye roll emoji.

No kidding. At a certain point, having the same people beaten down time and time and time again just seems old, tiring, and repetitive. Starks are unfairly punished and have terrible luck. Right, we get it.

8. I like the Varys scene, but the result was less than satisfying. Sure, the SoH are being financed by rich others, but it seemed the big payout was that a known-character was going to be behind the coordination. By the way, I guess all the ships didn't burn if Varys can get a prostitute out.

I also wonder how much power he now has. Remember, right after that scene they cut to Kings Landing where all the 'birds' (children) were now being bribed into loyalty to the Lannisters by Qyburn. I have a feeling this is all going to backfire on Varys/Tyrion by the end of the year, which is when they'll unleash the dragons on everyone to show their actual power instead of implied power.

Xavier Thomas to Clemson makes all the sense in the world. Whether by luck or what have you, they have put a ridiculous number of defensive ends in the NFL dating back to like 05 or 06. The odd surplus of highly rated DE recruits in SC has probably led to some of this, but it's also spanned over 3 or 4 DC's. Would love to land him though, but you won't see me getting my hopes up.

1. Penis jokes and Maester's farting at the sight of the Franken-mountain? Really? This isn't a PG13 movie.

I'm a big fan of the dick jokes. We're averaging one per episode. Keep em coming.

3. You make Arya blind for three episodes? Felt like a soap-opera turn. At least the Arya arc showed that her list is shorter and maybe her list will lead to her being on missions to kill them? Some hope there.

Apparently I'm in the minority, but I really enjoy the Arya arc. While everyone else is vying for the throne, she's stealthily doing her own thing. I'm not sure she's going to stick to her list, or if she's found a new (slightly different) goal in life. It looks like she's buying in to the training. Maybe the transformation is happening too quick, but if it was happening slower,, I'd be bitching about how it's taking too long.

This season does feel different. Less build up, more predictable twists, maybe a little rushed, and in some weird way, maybe not enough 'fluff' to the episodes? It feels like they are only showing essential scenes. My guess is HBO wants to end the show around season 8-9 (the normal for even the most successful HBO shows) so they are accelerating the timeline. If GRRM remains alive/healthy enough to finish the book series, I bet he will include a lot of details that the show has skipped.

Added some new offers out this past week or so...

HUDL Tape

Xavier Thomas-> Class of 18 5* DE Florence, SC.. BIG BOY BATTLE HERE (Clemson, Bama, FSU OSU, all of SEC)
HUDL Tape

I have to confess that I'm a believer that, at some point, we need to begin to land some "blue chippers" in order to compete with the big boys. So when I see all of the 3* guys (and this 2* guy) we have committing, I'm a bit anxious... Not worried, just anxious to see how & what Fuente is building.

With that being said, I'm exited about guys who love VT regardless of the ** rankings. And as for this guy... He could have no stars beside his name and I'd be excited. The kid has great hands, very quick feet and some major hops (that tells us he is explosive). Glad he is a Hokie!

Yes, loved that fight scene. I liked introducing the slightly less than honorable aspects to his character. Makes his character seem more real. If I were in his situation, it's in my best interest to claim I defeated Ser Arthur Dayne as well. But I think it's all but certain at this point that Jon is Rhaegar's bastard with Lyanna.

I'll also put my money on something with anthracite for Bristol. Whit spoke at a Hokie Club event last week in Atlanta and said that not all uniforms have been released for the upcoming season and that we should look for something special for Bristol that he thinks we'll really like.

EDIT: Whit also said that he's a big fan of the "traditional look" so I imagine that the shoulder stripes will stay for a little while longer.

That was one of the most well choreographed fight scenes I have ever seen. Super badass. I wonder what else they will try and unearth about Ned that shed's a less honorable light. Maybe Jon really is his is bastard!
