Obviously there's been a lot of chatter on the ending of the Penguin. I haven't seen anyone mention, however, how in the final scene of the series, Eve Karlo is disguised as another person entirely. Karlo, as in Clayface.

I cannot help but feel that having Eve Karlo looking exactly like the Penguin's mother goes beyond being a huge nod to Clayface. It's basically an adaptation within the bounds of this universe.

Does anyone have some insight on why GRRM decided to give Arys Oakheart his own POV if he was gonna make Arianne a POV too? If I recall, there aren't any noteworthy passages he's in that she isn't. There isn't anything we see through his eyes that we couldn't also have seen through Arianne's? Am I missing something with this?

I like the chapters fine. Just wondering why the creative decision was made at all.

Are there any small mods for CK2 that add some sort of decision to call on your liege lord and apply some pressure when a foreign lord claims lands under your vassal contract? Like, for example, where you call on your liege to beat them away within a year or so or they lose prestige. Or if you face a 5000 man revolt and you only have 1000 levies or something.

Say, you’re playing as the Duke of Holland under the Emperor of Francia. And you’ve conquered Ostfriesland. And then the Saxons try to conquer Ostfriesland but the Emperor is not sending levies. Is there a mod where you get to option to demand he intervenes within a certain timeframe and if he doesn’t, the Emperor faces a prestige/opin

While I generally like the attitude on this sub compared to the raging toxicity on other ASOIAF-focused subs, a recurring theme I’ve seen here is the claim that a show on Aegon’s Conquest cannot be engaging due to it being such a one-sided war.

I feel like it’s a shame some people are so negative about the concept, even though the predetermined outcome of a conflict has nothing to do with how engaging it is. Character work in this series has always happened in between the lines of what would be recorded in history. The era has a multitude of colourful characters and interpersonal dynamics to explore and interpret. The relationship between Orys and Aegon, the king and his sister-wives, the K

Lately I've noticed an uptick in attention towards some supposed American whistleblowers, U.S. Congressional hearings about UFO's, Italy mixing themselves into that conversation and today a hearing in the Mexican congress where the supposed actual bodies of aliens were displayed.

I am curious towards:

• what has lead to this sudden rise in talk about aliens;
• how do all of these supposed whistleblowers/declassifications/discoveries relate to one another;
• are they at all credible;
• if not credible, how can the Mexican government afford such a hoax;
• if credible, why is this

Basically I've not been paying any real attention to Star Wars for a couple of years. But I just saw Andor and absolutely adored it. So I'm looking to get back into it with my girlfriend and I was looking around for a fun watching order that has a modicum of narrative momentum. I came up with this. It's intended to build up the world created in the OG films and really focus on 1) the might of the Empire and 2) building up Darth Vader. I like starting with Solo because it's a simple but fun adventure that stands on its own and establishes the Empire as an imposing long-term adversary.

• Solo
• Andor
• Rogue One
• A New Hope
• The Empire Strikes Back
• Revenge of the Sith
• Obi-Wan Kenobi

Both Wallonia and Flanders are bursting at the seam from an abundance of traditional frituurs/friteries. Yet the capital leans heavily towards snack bars where you might be able to find fries. As of now, only Fritkot Chouke, Friture de la Chapelle and Friterie de la Barrière come close.

I’m looking for a frituur/friterie with (some of) the following characteristics:

• The fries come wrapped in a box or cone, which is in turn wrapped in white/brown paper. They don’t come as part of a menu.

• Bicky Burgers do not have tomatoes or salad on them. At least one of the three Bicky sauces is used.

• There’s a wide assortment of classic snacks (bitterballen, cervela, etc.) and new Mora snacks (gr

So WB acquired the rights to Lords of the Rings. Like you, I LOVED those movies growing up. And I really like what Disney’s been up to with those Marvel films. So next week I’m pitching my idea for a Middle-Earth Cinematic Universe. I’d love some feedback from you guys!

Phase 1 is all about building this world. I thought about starting with the Silmarlin, but it’s better to get right into what makes this world tick. Lords of the Rings is all about characters. So we’re starting off where it all began: the Hobbit.

• The Brown Wizard - To start this off, we expand on the beloved vibe of the old Hobbit movies. An adventure movie about Gandalf and Radagast the Brown dealing with a Necroman

I’m a bit confused about Rod Reiss place in the world. His relation to three institutions especially confuse me:

1. He was in complete control of the Interior Police and Anti-Personnel Squad to gain control of the Founding Titan. But just five years prior to the events, the Interior Police was ordered by the Chancellery (I think) to kill Historia and her mother. Why did Rod not have any power over them at that point?

2. He seems to be incredibly influential among the Chancellery, but why do they order Rod’s mistress and bastard child killed? And how does their relationship return to normality during the events of the coup?

3. If Rod, the true king, is influencing the Chancellery (which kn

I like the very simple stories and characters offered by Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2. It's mysterious, elegant and hints at just enough conspiracy behind the curtains to keep you engaged. There's like 3 real characters throughout these games, two of them being 47 and Diana. Their "bond" is sort of the emotional core of the story.

Which is why I do not get how the devs didn't translate that into gameplay through the mission stories. I tried playing through the game on the highest difficulty the first time, because I really wanted to engage with the mechanics and try my best to pull of smart assassinations. But the fact that mission story objectives were disengaged, completely disrupted that. Be
