Teso, VR back with good banter like when the forum used to be good. Too bad you can't say the same for the team.
Do you think the board veterans were saying the same thing about the board at the time we recall now as being great? I suspect that people are always suffering from "Golden Age Syndrome" in which there is a time in the past during which everything was better than it is now. I remember the board being better in those days, but maybe we were new enough so as to not yet be jaded. It was still always Groundhog Day, but we didn't notice it at first. Then again, maybe it really was a time when Legends Roamed the Board.
The only thing holding our community together is Nacho Monreal's patriotism, objectivity and sobriety. Sad but true. He holds our factions together in a way not seen since Motter ate himself to death a couple of years ago and Achtung believed his hype, burned out and ran off to start droning on and on and on about famine ravanged coloureds from one of his many penthouse suites.
Acronym, Mel B, Bronaldo and tscgirls. RIP. Plus Uncle Teso had to let the likes of prymetyme spread his delicate wings.
I was hoping for a hotter chick as Mel And, did I just see some Unsullied there at the end? Perfect casting for Varys, mind.
The board is fairly new so whoever is a 'vet' might not have an earlier reference point. There was a time when discussion was more varied and insightful but I don't honestly have a bitter outlook about that as it's cyclical. What bothers me is the change in tone. Nowadays more people are intent on following set rails instead of challenging them and there is a bigger and perhaps subconscious intent to form packs that delineate two extreme points of view. Masking this is the perverted puritanical tone; keep things in line, no in-fighting, pc behavior, etc. bleh
That woman is plenty hot. That's her towards then end of the trailer, leaning back in apparent ecstasy. I'm not sure about the Unsullied. There were some in season one, if you recall, standing guard for Illyrio in Pentos. For season two, I have to say perfect casting for Melisandre. I still need to be convinced about Stannis and Davos. Looking forward to Ygritte.
Zonal Marking's take on this. http://www.zonalmarking.net/2012/02...-chelsea-move-into-3-0-lead-but-lose-control/
I thought she was the woman right at the start, and maybe she is but the lady in the orgasm scene at the end is indeed plenty hot. So they are moving the Ygritte plotline to the second season as well then?
She is right at the beginning after Stannis passes by in the forefront and then she is there again near the end. Ygritte has been cast so she will be in. However, isn't she in the second book? Jon and the Halfhand make a sidetrip while the Bear and the men wait on the hill. I'm pretty sure she is introduced in book two.
