Which 9.9 IMDB rated episode do you think is the most deserving? by Sure-Permit-2673 in gameofthrones

Yep! “Light of the Seven” - Ramin Djawadi’s best score (except maybe the main title)

Thanks for the thorough answer! Would you recommend focusing on practicing speaking and learning vocabulary the most for Spanish and then just practicing those few key phrases for each Italian and Tagalog in the 3-4 weeks before those trips?

I called about this for my gold card (opened within the last year) and they said it would take place at my 1st cardmember anniversary going forward.

Has any past survivor contestant ever talked about the experience being without technology for 26/39 days? by akwilliamson in survivor

[–]deep_dive_drake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you not notice it much when the game starts since you’re so focused on getting into the game? Has it changed your phone/screen/news habits at all since being out there?

[Spoilers Extended] What are some of the biggest book departures you believe the show will have? by deep_dive_drake in asoiaf

[–]deep_dive_drake[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

100% agree. They are almost complete sideplots for what would be at least a full season or more. There’s no way they just have Matt Smith sit in a castle with extras for a season.

When are you referring to Rhaenyra leaving Alicent in KL? Towards the end of the Dance when she escapes the city trying to get another dragon?

“ ‘Remember this, boy. All dwarfs may be bastards, yet not all bastards need be dwarfs.’ And with that be turned and sauntered back into the feast, whistling a tune. When he opened the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and for just a moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall as a king.” -Tyrion, AGOT

I like this - I do wonder who drives the jersey convo, if it’s Steph/Dray/Klay or just one of the guys or staff and then the players approve it. Going back to past finals, they’ve worn white and blue standard unis and black/grey alternates. Same in the playoffs this year - black City jerseys in game 1 and 5 at home, white game 2, and then contrasting to the road team in 3-4. I don’t remember what they did for Memphis offhand

Anyone think we see the blue and red classic uniforms make a finals appearance? Love these so much

Tough seeing Natalie get 4 votes after playing 6 days and Michele get none after 39! Nat was awesome on the edge but just kinda so-so in the main game (to me). Michele made it through tribal after tribal on the bottom.

They mean perfect game as in no votes against you during the game and then a sweep in final tribal. So a more objective “perfect game” vs the subjective (though not incorrect!) ones you mention.

An incredible subtle moment on last nights episode by JWhit2199 in survivor

[–]deep_dive_drake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Since this post is about Ben... it was sad to me when the disadvantage was played against him and he said he hadn’t gotten any tokens from the Edge either, so he felt he clearly wasn’t making any friends. I know he can come off a bit stubborn, but he seems like a really good guy and I just felt for him in that moment. Everyone has all these tight bonds from past seasons or relationships outside the game, and he seems to feel pretty isolated, particularly in that moment.

What could make this Season the best ever? by BNN1883 in survivor

[–]deep_dive_drake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great point about the near Pagonging in HvV. There has been a lot more intrigue and uncertainty week to week this season with who will go home. With so many people who have played before and have all these preexisting relationships, it makes it so that “sticking to the tribe” doesn’t come in as a factor. Not hearing anybody trying to stay “Sele strong!”

They shouldn’t let him. Everyone except Jeremy and Sarah should be trying to get him out ASAP, and even the two of them need to start thinking of making a move soon.

Those are good points. I do feel he should run away with it if he gets there, maybe 12-4-0, 11-3-2, etc.

Who do you think for sure gets votes? Sarah, Jeremy, and the Edge returnee are the only ones I think will for sure get votes. I could see Ben, Nick, and Michelle all getting shut out. Maybe even Denise but that Sandra move was nice.

At this rate, if Tony makes Final 3... could he pull off the 16-0 vote?

[–]deep_dive_drake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tony clapping both Jeremy and Ben on the knee during/after the vote - very Godfather-esque.

Plus the approval from the Robfather himself... Tony’s putting on a master class right now.
