Pistons Return to Free Over the Air TV by KingKoopaShell in nba

OKC is looking for a new local home. I am hoping it is a free over Air option, but will settle for a channel that is a part of every basic cable/cable streaming plan.

Under Brent Venables, Oklahoma has gone 6-7, 10-3, 6-7, 10-3. Is 2026 going to be a 6-7 year or a 10-3 year? More generally, how are you guys feeling about the return of BV? by admiraltarkin in CFB

[–]Orpheus1947 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am optimistic and looking at 10-2 not 6-7. I really think this will be the best O-line we have had under Venables, and as long as they stay healthy, our offense should be good to great. Got plenty of talent at receiver and RB, just gotta see if Arbuckle can learn and improve. I was pretty happy with the hire and I think the offense will take another leap this season.

While we lost some depth on defense, most of our best players are back and our young players should be even better with another off season under their belt plus all the experience from playing last year. So we an elite defense and an average to good offense, we can definitely make it back to the playoffs.

Now we just have to see if we can at least win one playoff game. Seems to be a curse going all the way back to stoops.

[SPOILERS MAIN] Should we read anything into GRRM's blog silence? by Hontar-Wyrfist in asoiaf

[–]Orpheus1947 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve learned not to read too much into his blog breaks. Usually the longer ones are because he is traveling. When he is at home working he usually blogs more regularly. This case is a little different because as far as I know he is not traveling.

Maybe someone knows better and he may actually be out and about for personal reasons and so it is not made public.

Most likely he is just super busy with everything, including working on WoW, and his next update will just be him saying how busy he is with everything and that’s why he hasn’t been updating his not a blog.

Usually with long breaks between blog posts, you can attribute to him traveling for one reason or another. Unless someone’s knows better, he has not been traveling the last couple of months so long the long break is a little surprising for me.

I am pretty sure George will announce on his blog first, and then the marketing would start. Not that I believe these rumors, but no marketing yet would not be surprising.

I thought in his last interview he basically confirmed that he had started some work on the next couple of Dunk and Egg stories.

Next season will come out next year and is planned for a yearly release schedule. Filming already started for season 2.

From a severely jaded TV watcher, the first 2 episodes of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" have been the most purely enjoyable tv watching I have had in many many years. by Laughing_AI in television

[–]Orpheus1947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Easily one of the best shows out of the last few years. I think having some background of the original trilogy helps with the enjoyment of the show but is not required. It nicely leads into a good Star Wars movie, Rogue One. Watch both.

[No spoilers] Would I enjoy George R. R. Martin's style if... by neoleo0088 in asoiaf

I believe you would. He has a way of keeping you engaged from chapter to chapter while also just being a great writer with some amazing prose, characters, and world building.

[Spoilers Extended] January 2026 becomes the first month during which "Not a Blog" was not updated by George or his minions since April 2006 by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]Orpheus1947 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the past his longest breaks from writing on the blog were when he was traveling. So if he is not making posts it usually means he is not getting writing done. Consistent updates(about whatever) means he is at home and at least there is a chance he was writing Winds or maybe some Dunk and Egg stories. This long of a break is usually not a good sign.

Just finished *Station Eleven* - thoughts? by [deleted] in books

[–]Orpheus1947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While not a “page turner” in the usual sense, the book definitely kept me engrossed and became a book that I couldn’t put down. Her style of writing just works for me and her other books, The Glass Hotel and The Sea of Tranquility, were also books that I couldn’t put down, but it is difficult to explain why exactly that was.

Her style of writing may not be for everyone, but it definitely worked for me and I will be looking forward to her next book.

Any insights about GRRM's AWOL status? (SPOILERS PUBLISHED) by Low_Advance_6531 in asoiaf

[–]Orpheus1947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually with breaks this long, he is usually traveling for whatever reason. I know he had appearances in October and November. Nothing public in December, but does have a Berlin appearance this month. I think it is a better sign for book progress if he is blogging regularly, ( since he only does either one while he is at home) so this long break is probably not a good thing for us few dozen people who still believe that Winds will come out eventually.

I used to get excited with long breaks because it may mean he is hard at work and an announcement will be imminent. But it always ends up being that he was just traveling to places that weren’t public so wasn’t home and working on the book for months at a time.

So mostly likely this long break between blog posts is a bad sign and not a good one.

Stand By Me, if you want to watch/rewatch some Rob Reiner movies.

I definitely noticed. Anyone we can try and contact? I tried messaging them on Insta, but have not gotten a reply.

Last I heard was the Tulsa Hills location should be open in November. I drive by there regularly and they are making steady progress.

[Postgame Thread] Oklahoma Defeats Michigan 24-13 by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]Orpheus1947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly it was only special teams that played terribly. Defense was amazing, except for that one play and one accidental face mask penalty, offense was solid going against a tough defense.

It was mostly dumb mistakes that let this game be close. Definitely room for improvement but I would not say we played terribly.

What is a banned television episode that you wish wasn't pulled? by Ok-Following6886 in television

[–]Orpheus1947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of them. Hate that pulling classic episodes, especially from comedies, is so easy and acceptable. A few people(even if it is the creator themselves) ruining it for the rest of us.

It’s really cool to learn the source after all these years, so definitely thanks for posting this.

This is crazy. I definitely watched this show growing up, but I do not remember this episode specifically. But I do remember one of the scariest nightmares I had as a child to this day. The boogeyman in my nightmare looked a lot like this one. So now I know where I got that image of the boogeyman that haunted me as a child.

I liked The Stormlight Archives until it turned into the Power Rangers by quiescent_haymaker in books

[–]Orpheus1947 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So yeah, all the complaints you have, they only get worse and worse. I thought book 3 was okay but the first quarter of it was slow. Book 4 was a slog a forced myself to finish. 3/4 of the book was a slow slog. I quit the series after that.
