But for real do Fukushima.

Nuclear meltdown in Japan after tsunami.

Not really comparable. One was the potentially worst disaster in late human history which consequences will be felt for several lifetimes.

The other was a power plant accident.

Dude was at the helm steering without knowing the autopilot was on. As someone who drives big boats, this actually happens often and it ...

Can take a surprisingly long time to figure out that you haven’t actually been steering for the last 30mins. Nearly my #1 wheelhouse peev

Checkout Manhunt: Unabomber with Paul Bettany. Good series. The FBI guy was a big dick irl even tho the series doesn't really go into it
MrRandom314159
Eh. Real life heroes don't need to be heroic. They just need to get the job done.
lovesecretsexandgod
That's kind of why I wish they kept in part of his story about being a dick. Just to keep true to life.

Still bitter about how they did the night king
NoOneKnowsImLying
I don't think I can ever forgive them
pronoun
That was my main gripe. 7 years of build up and it went nowhere.
1metalnation
Still bitter about everything. Fuck D&D
LalaButtmarket
Yeeeah D&D players are total nerds. Fuck em!
Callistan
I was fine with it, but honestly it's mostly because I didn't think a neutral evil character like the Night King fit well with the story and
Callistan
I was glad to be rid of him.
Hangonthere
No. The story WAS about winter and the NK from the very first second of the show. That's because it's called Song of Ice and Fire.
Callistan
The Night King is an element only found in the show. The White Walkers exist in the books, but are much more interesting there because their
Callistan
motivations are unknown, and it seems unlikely that they'd have the "kill the main one and the rest all die" trope found in the show.
R0b0Panda
who would you prefer to kill the night king?
1metalnation
Aria was a fine choice, it's not about who did it, it's about how we got to the conclusion
baronnapalm
Day king. Fighter of the night king.
ImnotsuspiciousbutIamalittlespicious
Champion of the sun ahhhhh
kelpsie
Personally? Nobody. Works better as a metaphor if he's never killed.
RedRixy
They coulda just redone her father's fight at the tower; Jon is fighting him and then he gets stabbed in the back. BAM.
NoOneKnowsImLying
Not gonna lie, I would've died laughing if Howland Reed showed up out of no where to stab the Night King in the back then just disappeared.
chitterbug
I don't necessarily hate that she killed him, but the way it happened was a let down for how much of a threat he was built up to be, and the
chitterbug
build-up between him and Jon felt wasted. At least let them fight, Arya could jump in and kill him when Jon's about to lose or something. I
chitterbug
think it would have made more sense and paid off better narratively. In general though, the whole end to the arc felt rushed. I think s8
chitterbug
could have been better received if the story had more episodes to play out.

I named my cat "Brexit". He meows at the door for hours, then when i open it, he doesn't want to go out.

Are you the French foreign minister?

i'm not. but i stole his joke, probably

Haven't watched it, but there's an HBO movie about Brexit with Benadryl Cucumberpatch https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8425058/

The suffering goes on under new leadership today after Theresa May failed and quit.
Icecoldfunk
As a colonial I sympathise, I really do, but you don't have Aussie level Prime Minister turnover yet...though given your choices you may -
Icecoldfunk
- wish you did.
FuzzyX
It was Boris Johnson where we will soon see his failures. Brexit is likely still stuck until the next general election.

Fukushima. We "learned" from Chernobyl, but it still happened again.
GrandProtectorDark
Vastly different causes though
hankiepankie
I dont know much about Chernobyl, but Fukushima was caused by a natural disaster and Chernobyl wasnt. So I mean they may be a tad different
MyNameIsntChris
Yea, but it won't be any less cool. Though they can cover it in just a couple of episodes.
PhailRaptor
Wasn't Fukushima built sub-standard, as well? So it should have coped with the disaster, but did not.
MerToo
The many ageing reactors in the US, run solely for max profit avoiding costly maintenance by private investors, are overdue for a Chernobyl.

When one pops badly, the directors may telephone shareholders from Bermuda to say they regret declaring bankruptcy but hey, that's business!

And it has a shitload of Emmy nominations. Nothing was outstanding ly good that would deserve one, except the score.
hardlyfatal
The acting was fantastic, especially when you consider how well they sold the steaming pool of diarrhea they were handed in the script.
georgejimmydoodle
What didn't you like about the writing? Some of it wasn't great, but a lot of it was what was really done and said.
hardlyfatal
So many of the narrative choices were out-of-character, non-sequiturs, nonsensical, or just plain bizarre. Why build up Jon's 1/

parentage & then do nothing with it? Why have the Azor Ahai thing exist at all but then Arya kills the NK? Sansa learned well the risk of 2/
