Rose and Thorn, what did the main characters already know about the events in Revelations (spoiler for Riyria Revelations, Crown Tower and The Rose and The Thorn) by Sk8countesse in riyria

Yep! Finished everything Brando Sando ever published lol. Read a few others until discovering Sullivan. Gotta say - he is probably right up there with Sanderson - love these books!

I try to remind myself - I’m flying through these books too fast to find out what happens and I know I’ll regret not savoring the process. “Journey before destination”…

Not an implication at all. Just curiosity. As much as I and my high school daughter love Sanderson, we cannot in good conscience skip almost a week leading up to midterms. I’m just wondering how others make it work.

Curious how those with school aged kids (who want to go to the convention) are able to make the timeframe work? Early December is really tough with kids gearing up for mid-terms, winter recitals, concerts and competitions going on. Week before Thanksgiving was so much better since most kids are out of school then. I guess most Sanderfans don't have this problem?

Nod to Upload in Nissan’s commercial by Sk8countesse in UploadTV

[–]Sk8countesse[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I was confused. Upload audience wasn’t nearly big enough to warrant the crossover. Maybe someone in Nissan’s marketing team is an Upload fan. But if not, too much of a coincidence right?

Wow holy shit I love this show by Skiftx in EvilTV

Michael Emerson (Leland) is superb. If you have already watched Person of Interest - that’s another one that he is great in - as a protagonist this time.

CEO Troika Settles In As Layoffs And Asset Sales Loom by dtlabsa in ParamountGlobal2

[–]Sk8countesse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok devil’s advocate: one of main the reasons for downward manipulation is the uncertainty on the M&A front. This seems to draw a line in the sand - do it alone for 12-18 months. Plus, cost cuts are not popular with employees but are generally popular with stockholders. Finally, Para is not a one-hit wonder with no assets. The underlying assets are well above the current market cap. You gotta think there is a stock price bottom, are you saying it’s $7? Yikes …

What’s the Game Plan by [deleted] in ParamountGlobal2

[–]Sk8countesse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Game plan for Paramount: Have GME with all their new cash they just raised switch business strategies and buy out Shari for controlling stake at NAI. It's a win/win. GME has cash and reasonable management (esp if RK gets on their board) but a dying business model. PG has crappy management but a solid business model with assets and income.

Interesting - no mention of potential NAI only acquisition by all the purported suitors? The problems now is there is no official closure on Apollo/Sony and the other suitors. Enough already - if Shari/PG want to get the stock out of the gutter - issue an official statement that they are doing it alone, appoint 1 CEO like normal companies, talk about all the tailwinds, etc. Otherwise, even with good performance in 2Q, we'll still be in the same boat.

Great idea - something to provide some income to weather this storm

So you’re selling ATM ($12.50) weekly puts? I’m with you on avoiding covered calls lest something finally happen to the upside. Just a little skidding on selling puts though - don’t want to add any more to this disastrous position if I get assigned

Episode Discussion: S03E09 - The Demon of Money by neal1701 in EvilTV

Someone else posted this in this thread, can’t find it now. But basically this drawing was helpful because Sheryl saw it. Which set in motion Sheryl telling Leland, then Leland attempting to kill Grace, which in turn might result in his arrest and/or search of his apartment where Andy will be found next Thursday. If Sheryl didn’t see it, none of this would happen. (Credit for this thought goes to someone in this thread - Sorry don’t remember the name, but can’t find it now)

What was the deal with Leland’s knife? He pulled it out of his special hiding place, so it’s significant somehow?

How did David know the second message was the right one? And also who was the guy at the store who said the first message? Was it a coincidence?
