    These are the new actresses that will be playing adult Alicent and R. It is interesting to me that the R actress looks considerably different, and harsher. It might have to do with the type of person she becomes as an adult vs the teenager.

    Elden Ring! This dragon armor from HOD is in the Souls games. At least something very similar.
  3. Episode 4 dropped. My interest in this show has totally declined compared to House of the Dragon. I didn't even watch past episode 1 yet. I started Episode 2, didn't like it and switched to HOD.

    20 photos from Episode 5. Kind of gives a lot more away than the teaser. 4 pictures of the Strongs. They wear a similar outfit, including the crippled guy, Larys. He is supposed be a "Varys" type character. Obviously the similarity in names is not an accident.
  5. Amazon ordered a Ridley Scott Blade Runner series: 'Blade Runner 2049' Sequel Series Ordered at Amazon - Variety
  6. I was in the local park- lost track of time- for 3 hours, came back to my car and it was pitch black. Really interesting that there are still people riding bikes, walking, running in the dark..most of them equipped with lights.

    The story of King J, who is in the opening scene of Episode 1 is actually really involved. However it is really the story of a 'good' king, it was possibly passed over because of that. It remains to be seen if HBO will do a season on his rule. Prior to his arc, the Aegon I and his children also form another arc and another potential season. Or the two stories could be rolled into 1 fast-paced season? Jaehaerys I Targaryen - A Wiki of Ice and Fire (westeros.org) In looking closer, it appears that Season 1 of HOD covers up to the beginning of Aegon II. So
  8. what stage do you think he is in now, as a middle-aged super high status man?
  9. Pretty interesting comments here. So do you guys think that remaining unmarried and with young women is an important part of Dicarpio's business of being a movie star? Once actors/actresses get married they lose something in the public eye.
  10. Now that HOD is out, I can see that people are still complaining about no Winds of Winter. I think that maybe a good way to get closure for the 25 plus key characters is to borrow from the Witcher (CDPR/Sapkowski). The path here is similar to what Western psychology/philosophy talk of, the path towards "Wholeness", finding oneself completely and living a better life, more attuned to what we really are. This is an insight of the psychologist Carl Rogers. Geralt becomes whole at the end of Blood and Wine, and so do his family/friends. A happy and logical ending. So maybe fans can use their knowledge of all these characters- Jon Snow, Danyers, Jaime, and even villains like Cersei etc. and think of a logical and more positive ending for all of them, and be content with their own personal vision of how their story ends. I am looking over the Blood and Fire wikia/book to see if there are clues on how GRRM would end ASOIAF. GRRM describes his style as the 'bittersweet' ending for the show. I disagree, I found his ending more bitter than sweet, but at the same time tinged with a small ray of hope. Bad characters get bad endings. So far in Fire and Blood wikia he follows the same trend. This kind of ending is not for me.

    The story is at least is very good, I can understand if the gameplay got tiring after a time.

    It's been years, they finally released this.
  13. this past week was the worst week for me in 6 +years. Very neurotic and stressful, despite all the studying of philosophy, spirituality, and psychology I've done. Usually, I am calm and centered but when I face the worst fears they get me regardless. The only thing that really centered me and provided a lot of relief was hiking in the park/walking in the neighborhood for 2:20/1:30 and listening the classic texts Dae De Jing and the Dhammapada. These two texts are short in audiobook form (1:40, around 2:00) but they are extremely dense in red-pill truth and meaning. They really combat the racing mind and help calm it with the truth. I think I've listen to each about 10+ times at this point. It seems like no other psychological texts can match these two, simply worded texts for efficiency of delivery and impact. after I was done I slept better, but still woke up a bit early with some slightly nervous thoughts. So it is not 100%. Also, there is nothing made by man that is better than God's green earth.
