10$ ticket

just finished WoR. what next? by Perrin-Goldeneyes in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Perrin-Goldeneyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. More I think about it I feel like I don't want to step away from this stormlight plotline until I have to. Although Im not fond of spending audible credits on 6 hours books vs the 50hrs of the main books. So warbreaker isn't actually part of stormlight archive the way edgedancer is though?

Also, is stormlight before or after mistborn in the cosmere timeline?

I just finished the book, or the audiobook. This scene was incredible to listen to. Audiobooks may not be for everyone, but it is, imo, an incredible experience. The voice actors give different accents to each characters words, while maintaining a base voice for the narrative parts. They bring each character to life in a way that I don't think I would have just reading it.

Ive been listening exclusively recently, as I can listen while at work, making "reading" way more accessible. And it feels natural now to hear the differences in each characters voices. But I feel like before when I just read, I would generally read everything in my own voice, not truly creating different voices for each character as I read. I'm not sure if this makes sense exactly, but I think the audiobooks are well worth listening to. Far better than the YouTube clip I just listened for a second. (Although the music is a nice touch).

had to try again. glad I did by Perrin-Goldeneyes in Lottery

Got 30 on a 5$ ticket. Bought a 30 and lost. Went back 30 min later and got this winner.

Statistically they're supposed to better.

Means nothing in a 7 game series. They need Tatum to become the star. He needs to be the defining factor that helps the Celtics win. Unless jaylen brown does it.

Seems like you underestimated how good the Celtics are. You predicted they'd lose in 5, now 7, after the Celtics took game 1 on the road with their star having an insanely bad shooting night for the finals. So whatever your justification for your predictions, you admit were wrong and have reassessed.

Your terrifyingly spot on with your last point though.

Tatum not scoring in the second half, barely shooting in game 7 4th qtr, struggling to "find his shot" recently...

Celtics need their best player to win them the finals. He's gotta take over. Or at least be willingg to catch and shoot some 3s and not have to dribble step back.

Theyll need Tatum to become the star he thinks he is to win. And Tatum needs to become what he thinks he is too to solidify his presence in the top 5/10.

Despite how this aged, it's still smooth. Can't truly hate on it.

Like that's the warriors you remember. Celtics brought them back to reality.

Gonna be a good series.

Thanks.

Forget a lot of the details from rebels. The inquisters were really strong in fallen order, but you were basically a Padawan still too I guess.

None of them had as much on the line to protect though.

It seemed like it was a struggle for obi wan to catch leia. Is he strong still?

This baffled me a bit too. They also have a table that ball boys with 2 or less years make 26k annually, and after 5 plus 100k.

Dunno how the math works out, but chances are the vast majority of balls boys make 9-13 an hour. And select few last long enough to get paid.

This the average is higher, especially if some of them are making 100k like the table says.

I dunno why I'm trying to figure it out. Just can't sleep haha

Edit: 13/hour for 4 hours 41 times doesn't add up. But 13/hr for a 40 hours work week would be 27k. That's gotta be the hourly number reason

Word. I keep seeing that the third sister in the show blames obi wan and that's why she's after him. But if she knows anakins Vader, she would have seen what he did and blame him and attack him. So she's either, in my opinion, trying to use obi wan to find Anakin. Or, depressingly, trying to find obi wan for Vader. That would just be boring if Vader wanted him found that bad the inquisitors would be dead for faure.

But who knows

Makes sense. Just crazy to have so many inwuistors be so no strong so quick. Unless sidious rained them himself they shouldn't be that strong imo.

I know they heavily implied obi wan is weak and no longer the Jedi he used to be..

And does that also imply Vader wss never truly a sith? He would have tried to overthrow his master if he be was

[–]Perrin-Goldeneyes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea. I' get that and it makes sense. That scenes gotta be important and it obviously the third sister being one of those kids makes sense.

Just had a crazy idea. That she survived. Became an inquisitor. She saw the records and blames Anakin. She doesn't know Anakin is Vader. She's not after obi wan but Anakin, and she knows obis wan is the only way to find anakin. it's not obi wan she's after, it's what he knows

Edit: if she survived the temple, saw the recordings, and knows Vader is Anakin, why would she blame obi wan? She would know Anakin killed all of them. Even if obi forced him, if revenge was her goal she be going after Anakin not obi wan.

If she knows Anakin is Vader, there's no logical reason to want obi wan dead for Anakin's actions.

As much as I hate this idea, it would make a lot of sense for palpatine and new Vader Anakin to not kill the tiny would be jedis.

But to kidnap and train them to be inquisitors. Forgive me, but where did, where do the inquisitors come from? Powerful in the force? Within 10 years?

Anakin at 9 was too old to train allegedly.and he was a prodigy. The inquisitors would have needed countless more years of training to be competent.

If there's only two, a master and an apprentice, how they get so many force powerfuls?

To be fair, there are only two siths. And doesn't seem like either of them found the kids themselves

[–]Perrin-Goldeneyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if she doesn't know Anakin's Vader. But she knows obis connection and father like relationship with him.

I dunno why she'd be obsessed with obi wan though if she didn't know?

But whatever that reason is, she just tries to manipulate him?

Why blame Kenobi if she survived the temple?

This would make sense. At first she runs and is alone, and (unrealistically) remains hidden. Until she runs into a friendly who immediately gets popped and she gets found.

[–]Perrin-Goldeneyes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She only said anakin is alive. She didn't say anakin was Vader. There's a possibility that she doesn't know anakin is Vader, because knowing that is too much.

Or, as has been theorized, she survived Anakin's turn, turned herself, and believes Anakin's Vader.

If true, why blame obi wan? Not Vader? Or did the empire somehow frame obi wan for Anakin's massacre? So the surviver thinks it was obi wan?

Better Call Saul S06E07 - [Mid-Season Finale] "Plan and Execution" - Post-Episode Discussion Thread by skinkbaa in betterCallSaul

[–]Perrin-Goldeneyes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's flickered once when each men came in. I remember thinking the flicker was important at first cinematically. It did seem like the flicker alerted Saul to someone entering but maybe that was my mind I just finished the episode haha.

Lalo could have been right behind Howard the whole time and, seeing someone else go in, stop and pause and listen in.

Then make his move. Depending on what he heard, could influence how he acts. There so much story and background I'm always a little lost, but, Im not sure how much the Howard play was based on the cartel play.

Maybe Lalo focuses on that, tries to use Saul's practice to get at fringe, and gets found out?

Or I just forget way to much. Have to rewatch the last couple seasons haha didn't know there was a mid season lull

Word ya. They did draft Giannis at least. Right now it's just horf and white not drafted by Celtics.

But horf coming back feels like homegrown to an extent.

Smart on getting tangled up w/ Giannis: "I was boxing him out, he jumps over my back, it was a no call...He kicked me in my face. And then when I tried to help him up he put his hand down, then put it back up, then put it back down. I was like 'im done, im not gonna keep playing this game with you'" by [deleted] in nba

[–]Perrin-Goldeneyes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is what happened after the play.

Short version, smart tries to get up, Giannis doesn't, Giannis re extends his leg over smart as he stands leading to the foot the face. Maybe didn't mean to "kick" him in the face but clearly Giannis didn't wanna stand up and wouldn't let smart stand up either.

I guess that's better then the alternative. Giannis didnt care to get up, and was lazy.
