@_TheBBQBarn That’s why you’re supposed to look in at the catcher when you’re on the move.

PCA would have seen the ball call and could have slide in a way that was more controlled so he didnt come off the base.

Props to the Mets for challenging the play.

@DC9057172686429 @th3CritclMaestr @westerosies And if she isn’t going to be put to death, but instead will be banished to somewhat mirror Nettles story, then yes, I would have preferred to watch her in the Vale instead and to complete her story. We could have seen her figure out how to get her egg to finally hatch.

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@DC9057172686429 @th3CritclMaestr @westerosies Well wouldn’t you say that now with what has transpired that Rhaena will need to be put to death?

I mean how could she not be? She abandoned the 3 princes (we know what happens to 2 of them and now can put a bulk of the blame on Rhaena) and she pretty much killed Jace.

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@lorxell For the blacks to think anything other than she has betrayed them would make next to 0 sense.

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@MacandChiefs @forest_ghoul @To_Evermore @westerosies @RealPriyanshu9 And condals excuses are weak af.

Just because he didn’t like Rhaena’s story and it results in a Targaryan not having too much of a role in the main events of the dance doesn’t mean to change it and give her a loose version of the story of a character you cut😂

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@MacandChiefs @forest_ghoul @To_Evermore @westerosies @RealPriyanshu9 Exactly..

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@TwasBrillig1 So much about the dragons is unknown, and this show took what was known and turned that upside down.

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@TwasBrillig1 Impossible things have happened in House of the dragon that directly contradicts lore and logic in this universe.

Changes to stories are ok with screen adaptations, but you cannot just do whatever you want when it goes against what makes this world make sense

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@karmaenyra I just don’t get why lol.

Like everyone else is aged up or down for Condal’s convenience? Why make a change that is going to make it more difficult when the story is literally laid out for you in bullet points?

So much room for more detail, but why change the meat of things.

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@nobodyfwD @Shaq_Algo Disobeying her queen and ultimately resulting in whatever tragic event(s) Condal decides to give to Aegon III and Viserys II.

Rhaena is arguably the worst decision that has been made in this universe.

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@nobodyfwD @Shaq_Algo But I would have to guess they are just giving Rhaena the Nettles story.

I mean if she doesn’t flee, they she and Sheepsteeler need to be put to death.

Not only is she to blame for the death of Jace, but she left 3 Targaryan children/babies alone.

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@nobodyfwD @Shaq_Algo I think it’s fair to chalk this up to the DRAGON saw war and decided to pursue. Even though Rhaena does instruct the dragon to “help” I don’t think we can just say that was Rhaena’s call after the dragon doesn’t listen to a single word she has to say after that.

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@Uc_heyy02 That would be something Lol.

I mean there is a part in fire and blood where Adamm apparently seeks advice from the green men, but when I read that in the book I just chalked that up to that source being full of shit.

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@Uc_heyy02 I honestly think it’s just a whole lot of nothing. I think it’s to service the book readers to get to see a green man on screen.

It just doesn’t play anywhere else. Unless they are just going wayyyy off the deep end and do something with them to feed ice & Fire prophecy.

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@forest_ghoul @MacandChiefs @To_Evermore @westerosies @RealPriyanshu9 What exactly is hard about this show to bring to screen?

Fire and Blood is such a loose outline to where you can almost fill the gaps with anything as long as you hit the major key points.

With the changes they made, they really couldn’t have just had the kids be older?

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@dodgerdan213 It’s such a honor to get to watch him play as a Dodger. One of the all time fumbles was the Braves not doing everything and then some to make sure Freeman never left.

There aren’t many guys as consistent and reliable as Freddie Freeman.

[dodgerdan @dodgerdan213]

Where would this franchise be without Freddie Freeman?

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@JeffSpiegel @TimRogers2080 the guy youre talking about is Ohtani not Mookie. Mookie couldnt be the face and lead the team to a dynasty run despite Friedman going and getting Turner, Scherzer, and Freeman during that span.

Mookie was a non-factor last year and have been much of the same this year.

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@JeffSpiegel @TimRogers2080 I mean let’s pump the breaks here for a second. If you want to give Mookie that kinda love for 2020, fine. 21’ 22’ and 23’ were some of the most gut wrenching ends to seasons in this run they have been on since 13’. Mookie was supposed to be the guy you’re talking about…

[Alex Ekelund @aekelund31]

@DMAC_LA Mookie is trash now unfortunately
