Why would I read the books? They would spoil the show for me.

Didn't even finish the rest of Season 3... TV show is meh compared to the books. Read the books you losers. God damn.
I'll watch the rest of the eps to catch up pretty soon though just because.

ANYWAYS, 2 essays done. One more to go. Must be completed tonight. 1500 more words to go. It's some doo-doo Egyptology class. I'm writing about Egyptian relationship with animals and shit because I thought it'd be easy to write about. So far I got a little about cats (duh) crocs and hippos. Bla bla bla bla. Someone give me ideas. They can be the crappiest ideas ever, just give them to me.


Aren't dogs pretty important as well? Anubis's depiction as jackal-headed is because of the presence of jackals in cemeteries and graveyards, and dogs are often found mummified in tombs, both on their own or buried with other dogs or their masters.
How did the experience of working at Mr Burns' Nuclear Plant influence Homer's composition of the Iliad and Odyssey?

I left the newest guy by himself for 20 minutes and said don't touch anything. Now he's calling and waking people up instead of just restarting the system. This is why we can't have nice things.

The entire anthropomorphism of like half of the Egyptian pantheon might help? I mean Anubis, Ra, Horus, Sekhmet are pretty much either part animal or heavily symbolized by animals.


I spent far too much time reading about stuff like this as a kid. Busch gardens's release of the Egyptian themed section and roller coaster got me tons of books for cheap thanks to some employee sales.

Yeah, Egyptians had to like dogs.. I mean... Nasus. Crocs too I guess.

But yeah the extent of my paper so far is hurr, gods were commonly portrayed by theriocephaly (wikipedia says this is a word) so therefore they must like animals. Also cats were mummified. Therefore cats. I'm just looking for a C, maaaaybe C+ here.

I'mma be here all night fellas so feel free to keep the ideas coming. I actually didn't know they mummified dogs so thanks for that red.

To be honest, while I think the books are better at present, the books get worse in a way that the show might not. Therefore, I'm sticking with the show in the knowledge that it will treat Feast for Crows better than the books did. That book was just totally unreadable for me.

How? Books are like... portals to another world using your brain in conjunction with the author's brain. Books are awesome. You just gotta find the right series for the right mood.

The books, in fact, did not get worse. They built up to some awesome plot stuff in book 3, and in books 4 and 5 have moved backed to the more political stuff and plot development. This doesn't mean they've gotten worse, it just means that there's some more awesome coming.

Brienne and Jaime are by far my favorites from this episode. I didn't like how the episode jumped around 10 different times just to revive each storyline.

It was a little slow, but it's the first episode of a season. They had to add dragon footage to show people what the new seasons special effects are going to be like. They had to introduce a new character with an entirely new family. They had to have an action scene so they put the bit at the inn in the end in there. If you remove those scenes really all that's left is centralized around two plot points, Geoffrey's wedding and related drama, and the attack on the wall.

I think it was fine. A bit slow.

Cross-reference with Amazon reviews for the internet's opinion.

It's probably just "okay" but it's still a cheap tablet.

That's what I'm in the process of doing. But I value the opinions of strangers I've spoken with slightly more than the opinions of random strangers on Amazon.
