Awesome review Brett, glad you enjoyed the show

I saw the director of the episode has even acknowledged that they were seriously pushing it with plausability with timescales. He said they tried to keep it ambiguous as the permanent twilight of beyond the wall didn't really indicate how many hours/days had passed.
It was imo one of the best battle sequences they've done. Shame the mechanics of making it happen were a bit lazy.

It's amazing how much they're cramming in now when they spent so much time doing not much in season 5/6. I really think they were relying on more source material from George and have now realised it won't come and are now in a situation where they need to develop a lot fast in order to wrap the story up.
With that said this last episode was incredible.

Show pony?! He's a champion, a winner & an elite profession who sets the tone- lukaku is none of those things.
Jose didn't fancy lukaku before.. he's won a scudetto with ibra & I think maybe ibra finished top scorer that year too?? I'm not a utd fan but even I'm excited by this. I wouldn't be excited by lukaku..
Don't get me wrong I'm looking forward to seeing him in the Prem, he's box office.
However if I was a Man utd fan I'd rather we looked elsewhere. At 35 how many seasons could he give you, all the while younger long term talent is overlooked because Zlatan has the no.9 shirt. Lukaku by contrast is 23, has his best years ahead of him and is proven in the Prem, averaging a goal every 2 games in generally ordinary West Brom and Everton teams.
For me Lukaku is a signing for long term success. Zlatan is a short term bums on seats signing.
Can't see Lukaku happening now Mourinho is there anyway as you said.
Looks like Mourinho agreed with both of us in the end divney

I think TSI is the best sounding GNR album of the lot and again Clink was at the helm.
In a perfect world a new GNR album with Slash/Duff would have that kind of crisp sound. I've no idea if Clink is even in the picture anymore he may not even be in Axls good books.
#237 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 423 weeks ago
Patriots Day - I'm not usually interested in these dramatised versions of real life terror events that occurred in recent memory. However I was on a plane and had a few hours to kill so gave it a go. Actually pretty good, I liked how they used real cctv footage mixed in with movie. The shoot out with police in the side street is insane. Got quite choked up at the end as well.

I thought there were only 7 episodes this season?

Who knows at this stage. Although if it was the last tour you would expect promoters to make far more of it. It's another way to sell tickets. Any empty seat is one that might have been filled if people had known it was the final tour.
I know it was a year ago but Axls interview at the china exchange seemed to suggest he wanted to keep the reunion going for a long time. He didn't put a time on it but the inference was certainly longer than 18 months then hang up the mic.

I'd be very keen to know how mid 2014 up to April 2016 panned out behind the scenes.
Very strong, albeit denied, rumours Axl was going to retire after Vegas. Then hints at new material based off the Pitman studio pic. According to Axl spring 15 the reunion started to pick up to steam, meanwhile 'insiders' were claiming CD2 was still the focus. By mid summer Slash confirms he and Axl have patched things up and rumours go in to over drive. On the basis Steven appeared and Izzy suggested he wasn't offered enough cash it would seem an AFD reunion was on the cards at some point. There was even a rumour Sorum was in the fold at some stage.
Some of that's rumour, some confirmed, either way it must have been an interesting 18 months behind the scenes.
