The whole Theon rescue didn't make much sense since Yara would have had to sail around half of Westeros just to get to the Dreadfort. It's not impossible, but very unlikely (unless that wasn't the Dreadfort for some reason). It also wasn't needed as we've seen how devoted Reek is to Ramsey several times already with even more to come and it clashes with what happens later in the books, but then again, Yara ain't Asha Greyjoy and the producers seem very keen to move away from the books this season for some reason I don't understand.

Also she must be able to run really fast. ... I don't understand why they had to run from the dogs. They had very large swords. Just swing and cut the ######er's head off.

Great episode last night. Arya is learning!  :laugh: And as usual the scenes with Tyrion were fantastic. Especially the exchange between him and Oberyn. Just phenomenal acting.

 

The preview for the next episode looks great. The mountain and the viper going at it. Ugh, why did HBO have to put a two week break in the middel of a 10 episode season. So God damn annoying.

The two week break really is annoying. So what if it is a holiday weekend in the states, people would still watch it, and that is what DVR's are for.

Another great episode. Only 3 left in this season!!!

They had a massive nosedive in viewership numbers two years ago when they aired Blackwater, and that was the largest episode of the show by that point, I think they just don't want to risk it. Super annoying, indeed.

Plus it's not like it's not aired many times again during the week.

Two week? Its a one week break. No episode on 5/25, returns 6/1.

 

Yes, but they can't add those up to get a rating.

Two weeks as in, 14 days until the next episode. It's usually at one-week (7 day) break between episodes.

Note to Self: Don't read Youtube comments for next episode promo :no:

Oh no! Sorry something was spoiled for you!  :/ I generally don't read youtube comments due to being embarrassed for the human species after reading them. I'm not surprised someone was evil enough to put a spoiler out there.

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
