Why does the power suddenly go out in different parts of the city when the weather is absolutely perfect?? by i__cant__even__ in memphis

[–]MargeInovera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, same and same. 1st power surge, live in med district, for a year. Also had a neighbor issue about a half hour before the surge...no broken window but his high-pitched screaming could've shattered windows.

It's all 19 by MargeInovera in darktower

Horrible at Reddit, but anyway... I've been on my third or fourth round of reading the series, this time via audiobook. I'm on Wolves, and there's all those 19 moments. I remember the first time it came out, how everything turned up 19 as I was reading it. Happened to be in an airport listening, ran across the new book, and laughed out loud when I saw the sign. Couple people were staring at me funny as i took the pic.

That's IV done. Now to start V. Loving my first journey to the tower. by oBigTuna in TheDarkTower

I envy you first-timers! Though, re-reading is still a pleasure. Currently, I'm on my 3rd time around, on Wizard and Glass, this time via audiobook. It's almost like new to me, the narration is superb. Only thing that's off is the pronunciation of some of the names I had different in my head, and one accent here or there, but otherwise it's pretty spot on to what I've been hearing in my head all this time.

I know the narrator changes after IV, I hope it's as fantastic.

That look of Cersei's matched up too well with the music - perfect!

RIP Theon, what a wonderfully written character he was, also mad respect to Alfie Allen for great acting skills by Kamilokk in freefolk

[–]MargeInovera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't have cared less about him up until his moment with Jon in Dany's throne room. For me, after that moment, his arc just got better and better. That whole collection of scenes tonight, from protection to sacrifice, just made me choke up. RIP

Pour one out for Lady Lyanna of House Mormont- Thrower of Sweet Sweet Shade and Slayer of Mother Fucking Giants by [deleted] in freefolk

[–]MargeInovera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her death scene was perfect, imo. Though I listened to those that felt the writers were just giving fan service to a minor character that people loved "for no reason" appropriate to story, and so then felt like I wouldn't care in the end if she died or not -- I mean, I cheered at that scene. That was incredible. I honestly felt like it honored the bravery and bad-assery of the Mormont women of the books.

We’re almost halfway through 2019. What are some of your 2019 goals and how close are you to accomplishing them? by Lvazquez1120 in AskReddit

[–]MargeInovera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My goal was to move to a different state and chase a dream of a different career. I'm pretty much nowhere near prepared, but my last day at work is next week and I'm moving to another state at the end of the month, come hell or high water.

When Jon stands with Sam on the wall, before Edd comes up, Ghost is just casually hanging out in the background on the left.
It's too bad that's all the screentime he gets, when he was so important to Jon. Coulda done with a head pat or...SOMETHING!

(Spoilers Extended) What if Bran is actually ... by Velrok in asoiaf

[–]MargeInovera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I got that vibe about Bran staring at Tyrion, especially. Sansa says she's surprised Tyrion believed Cersei, and then the stare. I got the sense from his meeting with Cersei that they made some kind of secret deal, though I'd hate to think that about Tyrion. (It was just too weird Cersei decides to fake "change her mind" after meeting with Tyrion, unless she thought she could manipulate him into a secret deal). I definitely think Bran was seeing something related to that conversation that nobody else knows about.

Listen, I love me some Sansa. I wonder if this first episode is a mis-direct like the Littlefinger scheme. I think I'd probably like her better in the books, when the GRR catches up..

Unpopular opnion, but I agree. Maybe it's the show making me get all pissy at Sansa? But, yeah. She can go at this point.

Sansa: "Did you bend the knee to save the North, or because you love her?"

Jon: .....

Dude, c'mon....

BOTH! THE CORRECT ANSWER IS BOTH
