[quote]I am actually okay with the general idea behind the ending (Dex realizing he can never live a normal life and that he kills everyone closest to him... so he runs away to isolate himself). [/quote]
Me too. In theory, it wasn't terrible.

[quote]Seemed like the only view ESPN gave was field level looking down the 45 yd line from the LSU side.
At first, I thought AU had made a play. On first review, I didn't think there was conclusive evidence to the contrary. But upon furthre review I think the AU kicker touched it prematurely. [/...

re: Busting out the extended edition LOTRs
Posted by HortensePowdermaker on 9/21/13 at 3:32 pm
The characters you listed do go through conflict, but it's always of the sort that is "powerful external evil making them not be themselves because they are actually good people". They all fell under the spell of the ring. Even Aragorn and Gandalf are tempted by it. To me, that doesn't really make t...

I love the books and the movies, but Game of Thrones has really cast a shadow over these, IMO, and shown just how one-dimensional the characters are. Everyone is either totally good or totally bad with no shades whatsoever.

[quote]Wisc. qb should have spiked the ball. That is how you freaking stop the clock! [/quote]
It's already been mentioned how shaky their kicker is - by doing what the QB did, he was placing the ball on the hash they wanted instead of reverting to the old one.
