Yeah, Inuel is behind the bar with Erin and Jerek from how I reads it ;oRenny is on the ship, and I assume Kolinn is still in the bar.

Huh, I read Matt's post as the trio LEAVING the bar.

Maybe Matt can help us out.

I thought Inuel was inside the bar, using comms to reach Renny o_oOr should I start editing right nao.

Either way, just so I know for my post.

Jake and Matt, I need clarification from you.

Matt, is your post accurate in placing Innuel, Remmy and Kolinn OUTSIDE the bar? As in, out the door?

Jake, is Erin communicating to Innuel from inside the bar, or did she and Jerek get transported outside somehow?

Just trying to keep things straight between all the posts.

Theo had left Mario long behind him, still complaining about the safety of the abandoned site. The Latino gamer ignored the voice of caution, from both Mario and the small voice that whispered softly from the back corner of his mind. That voice kept saying he should just follow his mother's instructions and get out of there. Get home safe, it said, and Mom would have some kind of snack waiting for him. She probably wouldn't even mind if he went back online and rejoined Jeremy, who was probably still wondering what happened to him.

Pushing those thoughts further towards the back of his mind, the freshman boy ventured deeper into skeleton of the unfinished building. Huge, naked frames of steel rose from the ground, giving Theo a rough idea of the square footage of the almost-mall. It was huge, and after a few minutes, he found he could no longer see where Max or Mario had gone. He shrugged to himself, it was no big deal, he could find his own way home. He wasn't a child who needed babysitting. Besides, despite having made the joke about ax murderers to Max earlier, Theo was sure there was nothing here that could hurt him.

At once, the sound was punctuated by the sharp sound, making the boy jump in surprise. As he panted quickly, he laughed at himself as he found the source of the sound. It was just his phone. Pulling it out, he stared at the screen in disgust, another message from his mother, probably wondering why he wasn't home yet with language strong enough to convey her mortal concern for his wellbeing. He swiftly shut the phone off completely, deciding it would be easier to come up with a lie once he got home rather than fake it now. Phone batteries could lose charge, surely anyone would believe that. More to the point, his shadow, by the name of Gregor, almost never left him when he was out of the house, making this an opportunity he couldn't bear to pass up. And look what an adventure he was having so far!

That is, until the world started to shake beneath him.

Grabbing hold of a nearby, exposed pipe, Theo held his ground. He turned towards the sound that had accompanied the earthshaking moment, a loud boom that drowned out even his own thoughts. Wrapping his arm around the pole, the Latino boy used both his hands to block his ears, clamping his hands tightly against his skull, but it didn't help them from ringing as the noise dissipated.

"What the hell was that?" Theo couldn't help but ask aloud when silence returned. He didn't wait for anyone to answer his question. No one was there to answer him, anyway. Instead, the Latino boy made his way towards the —well, what could he call it but 'crash site'? He stopped the moment the crashed object came into view.

It looked like something straight out of science fiction. A little rounder and thinner than most ships, but it wasn't unlike a Klingon ship. Maybe something a bit more Romulan. Not that he really watched Star Trek, that was more of his father's gig. Stargate was a much better show, at least for when Theo was in a science fiction mood. Regardless, whatever the downed object was, it didn't belong on Earth, and certainly not crashed in a construction site in Nowhereville, New York. Aliens were supposed to land in New York, or L.A., or even at the White House. It didn't make any sense.

Was he going crazy? Was this a dream?

No, Theo ascertained as he pinched himself, feeling a bit foolish afterwards. This was no dream. That didn't rule out having gone straight-up insane, but if he had to hallucinate spaceships crash landing, there was some small part of him that was okay with that fate. The freshman was almost ready to accept his new reality as he stepped into the small clearing that now housed the looming form of the crashed ship, until he spied Max rushing forward towards the smoking hull of the ship. Behind her, an unfamiliar teenager followed, blond hair reflecting the flickering lights of the vessel. Another one stood further off, and Theo saw Mario standing away from him, shouting at Max to stay away.

Well, if Theo was going crazy, at least he was going to have company in the asylum.

Yay, Alli!

I should have my post up tonight. It's almost done now.

Game of Thrones season wrap-up

Thoughts from a Non-Reader:1. I found the most heart-wrenching scene to be Dany putting away her dragons. Those two babies weren't doing anything. It was the black/red one and she punishes them.. I really hope that she comes back, because that's disgusting to me. She has the last three dragons. Dragons that weren't even suppose to exist anymore. And she chains them away. My faith in Dany has been completely demolished this season.2. I found the Tywin/Tyrion scene rather... empty. I don't know what was suppose to be going on there or why I feel like it was lacking, but it was. You have a father and son. A dysfunctional, hateful relationship. And it ends like that? No big reveal? No nothing? Just "You're my son." and "You're not my son", "I am your son." Come on =/3. Brienne, Arya, and Sandor.... I really enjoyed this part of the show. It pitted two of my most beloved characters against each other and that frightened me. Brienne kicks ass. I feel like, like people have said here, that the Hound really did grow to trust Arya, or at least thought she was a friend. It was a strange father/daughter relationship. I will admit that I cried when she just let him be. Just kill him. Don't let him keep suffering. You're a Stark for Pete's Sake. I'm excited about Braavos, though. :D4. The Bran, Jojen, and Hodor scenes are so boring to me. I get that they will mean something later on. I realize that they are important. But good grief. I get so flipping bored. Hodor is the best actor out of the group.In all, not my favorite episode of the season. I enjoyed it a lot, but gosh. Even as a non-reader, I could tell things were shifting oddly. (Also, the Jon/Ygritte scene. And Jon/Mance.. those were really well done. At least, imho)

Well, to be honest, you're right where most book readers are after Book 3. Book 3 answered a lot of questions, closed a few doors, and ripped open plenty of new ones, and left a bunch of things unanswered.

It may seem that Book Readers have a better understanding of things in the show, but that's only due to the fact that we're two books ahead in the story. We can see a little further down, we know where Bran's story is going, for example. We know (at least some of) what will eventually happen to Dany and her dragons. It makes it easier to bide our time with the stories now, to get to the stories in the future that we know are coming.

I did feel the episode was sorely lacking the line between Tyrion and Twyin,

as "Wherever Whores Go" becomes Tyrion's entire motivation for his time in Essos, to find his first wife Tysha.

And also I did miss the entrance of our favorite zombie. I can't understand why you'd want to push that off until next season, it's such a great way to end this one. Sad.

ISIS in Iraq

We should have learned from the lessons of European colonialism in Africa. Even setting up new governments before withdrawing doesn't really do much, warlords and dictators have a tendency to return. You can't really expect American colonialism to go much differently.

"Yeah, blame someone far enough back and some cell gets blamed for splitting in two."Five points to whoever gets the quote.

You realize with the advent of Google, those points are worthless, so you can stick 'em where the sun don't shine: Seattle, Washington. Google that reference.
