There is apparently a picture of the weapon used: https://twitter.com/CalibreObscura/status/154528779323611545... Looks very improvised indeed.

You go from passively letting someone die to actively killing someone. Which is a major difference. Now, you might think that it isn't given enough time, but it's easy to argue that you're currently letting kids die in Africa

They obviously planned that ending in some way, since it was filmed before. Still, especially the last season definitely did not seem to intend this ending at all . In fact, it seemed to me like Ted finally accepted the fact that it&#x27

But not on a bad one, which is more than you can say of GoT. Also, The Expanse has now "ended" the second time, so there's still hope.

Let me formulate it like this: The most expensive series so far was The Pacific, with a budget of $22 million per episode [0]. You'd expect a high budget series to spend a lot on actors and directors - let's just go with 50%. Th

-- Spoilers below -- There were a lot of things I disliked. The first thing was the marriage of Barney and Robin, which was built up over the last one to two seasons and then undone within 15 minutes (and without good reason!). Overall, the

If you look at discussions, you'll see that the actual decline started earlier, by some opinions as far as the end of season 4. The problem is that back then, it was not as clear that the series was declining - it could've been a

You're missing the point: We (GP and I) don't think you need known actors. There are great series with (then) unknown actors. It's just strange to have such a massive budget (which usually would go, in part, to known actors

This is subjective, of course. But for me, the ending of GoT just cast a shadow over the other seasons. It's a bit less thrilling to watch them now, since I know it will lead to an inevitable jumping of the shark, but I still like them

And you'll be happier if you keep it that way :-) The only worse ending I know is that of How I Met Your Mother. Just skip the last two episodes there, seriously.

The budget-talent-ratio just seems off. Usually, movies spend a lot of money on hiring talent, which here clearly isn't the case here. So the question is where is that money going. Grandparent and I are afraid that we end with somethin

This would have been great! Allthough, as far as I heard, one of the reasons for stopping was the time jump in the books (full disclosure: I didn't read the books).

On a similar note, real photographers use prime lenses. Zoom lenses are for noobs who can't relocate. You also put your prime lenses on DSLRs, mirrorless cameras are clearly ulterior. If you think smartphones are a camera, you're

Yes - and it's also true for many DevOps people. Some would argue that's even true for many managers. It's just not a good idea if you want to get where these people where supposed to get you when you hired them.

The big question is: Do you need that kind of functionality? I agree that very large and complex infrastructures have their place - the problem is just that they import a ton of complexity and usually cost a lot. People are always suprised
