@cim_irian@VoiceIslanderFn@TruthfulPesi@SrDiegoLima Let's imagine the scene we didn't see, using their rationale...
Besides the lake there are two very long, very heavy duty chains?
Break a hole in ice to drop the chains, lots of wights sink to the bottom and attach chains to a dragon on the lakebed?
@TruthfulPesi@VoiceIslanderFn@cim_irian@SrDiegoLima So which is it? Dock cities in the north, as in north of the wall because they hadn't reached 'the north'? or the fortuitous chains that you point out are actually seen on some 'broken dock timber' we see as they haul the dragon out?
And we're saying there is a dock in a lake?
@VoiceIslanderFn@cim_irian@SrDiegoLima For an army that appears to travel light, ie no siege weapons etc, we're supposed to assume that someone said,
"Bring some enormous chains because, at some point, we might kill a dragon that falls into a lake"
Or did they go home to get them?
@VoiceIslanderFn@cim_irian@SrDiegoLima We're talking about because it stands out.
If you make a point of demonstrating limitations ie. Water + wights - don't then have a dive retrieval sequence.
And I actually really enjoy this episode. We have to let things go to enjoy stories but things still need to make sense
@VoiceIslanderFn@cim_irian@SrDiegoLima It would appear that water and the undead didn't ever mix well whether that be sea or lake. Maybe they'd be okay with a puddle?
That's partly what I've got...
As well as the magic dragon-grade chains turning up. Which you seem to have avoided thinking about
@VoiceIslanderFn@cim_irian@SrDiegoLima Yes, that's precisely the gap. Whether lake or sea, they're not great with water
Did you understand the point about it being simultaneously possible to believe in a fantasy concept and also expect these concepts to work within the framework of rules the the storyteller creates?
@VoiceIslanderFn@cim_irian@SrDiegoLima We can accept that unbelievable things happen in fantasy.
For example, fire breathing dragons... But we might question something like a dragon breathing fire on the sea and let's say ALL of the sea evaporating?
Fantasy worlds still have some logic and laws of nature.
@lukepalms15@TFWhistle__ He's struggled to get his move without playing, both in summer and in the leagues.
We're in a position at the moment where if he were to come back and improve things he would put himself and us in good stead.
He's most certainly our best CB but that says more about us than him
@LcfcTalk_@XtraLeicester Keep your head on mate.
We've now got a pretty big squad and lots of pockets of talent which could take a whole season to develop and we will always have to leave people out of the matchday squad.
He's been here for a few weeks and his contract is for 5 years
@vivelarvltn@WarMonitor3 The invasion also served the interests of Argentina's military dictatorship, which faced economic crisis, widespread unrest, and declining public support. The junta hoped that 'reclaiming' the Malvinas/Falklands would unite the country behind the regime and bolster its legitimacy
@CrapGolfer13@TFWhistle__ Two consecutive damaging 5th place league finishes as well. Puel was just protecting us in 9th until all that damage was done.

I began my intellectual life focused on what philosophers call the Hard Problem of Consciousness: how physical matter gives rise to subjective experience. I wrote my PhD dissertation on that problem and lived with it for years. But over time, what came to seem more urgent to me was not subjectivity alone, which we share with all other conscious creatures, but the uniquely human longing to matter, making us the values-seeking creatures that we are.
The Mattering Instinct is my attempt to understand how beings made of matter come to care so deeply, and how science, far from undermining meaningfulness and morality can guide us toward it.
