    Coronavirus

    This proves the efficacy of the vaccine. When it comes to mortality it is obvious from the above that the vaccine is working. From those statistics, four out of 10 new cases are people who are not vaccinated… But six out of 10 cases that result in death are from those that are not vaccinated...

    Up to 72% on Rotten Tomatoes now. Interesting.

    She wasn't there much in Episode 2, for sure except for at the end. She plays a much larger role in Episode 3, and moving forward. She's definitely got a major part to play in the series.

    You're not alone. FWIW, there are those in the "Community" that have seen the first 6 episodes, and all of them have rated this week's episode quite highly. It also has a great episode title - "The Dragon Reborn". Looking forward to it.

    2021-2022 College Football Board (Utes, Cougars, and Aggies)

    Seconded. Both teams are playing great, and BYU was the better team that week. Speculation about any other time is pointless. Let’s give BYU the props they deserved - just like we have to give Utah props for the previous 9 years that they deserved.

    Interesting take, and don’t disagree with it. The breakout performance in my opinion though is Zoe Robbins as Nynaeve… she just kills it. I can still hear Daniel Henney as Lan saying “Oh, you really tried to kill me” - classic Nynaeve.

    By the way, on the comparison to Shannara - I get that completely. The Shannara series was an important series to me when I was a kid. I really loved it. And even going into the TV series with an open mind, it really did NOT sit well with me at all. I really disliked it - even though I watched...

    The Wheel of Time (Amazon)

    Honestly, I liked it. Ya, episode one crammed a ton in, I kind of agree with MT Steve - could have been split into two episodes. And the major change with Perrin’s character was… kinda weird. There’s a lot more backstory there to be revealed to be sure. But overall I’m liking the adaptation...

    I've been having a laugh reading some of the negative reviews, actually. It's more a comparison to Game of Thrones because that's all they can think of right now. This series is so different from Game of Thrones that it's nuts, but that's the measuring stick. Should be interesting to see if...

    Twitter's going nuts after the premiere. A lot of die-hard fans like me who got to see the early release are quite pleased and excited, and that's gotta be hard to pull off. Should be interesting to see if it's any good. I hear the first episode is pretty aggressive.

    Coronavirus

    Pfizer loses its efficacy more rapidly than Moderna. If you got Moderna initially, not a bad idea to get the same, but mixing has a certain appeal. If you got Pfizer initially, I think it’s a no brainer to mix and get Moderna.

    Bump… two weeks… Twitter has been going ape**** right now. Look at the hashtag #TheWheelOfTime or the account @TheWheelOfTime and be prepared to be overwhelmed.

    Coronavirus

    I got Pfizer the first time. Second Pfizer shot I was wiped out for 24 hours or so, but no fever, nothing else other than feeling a bit wiped out. Moderna was a whole different animal. I also have a buddy who got Pfizer first vaccine, and got Pfizer booster - and he had no symptoms at all from...

    Coronavirus

    So… booster shot report. I actually got delayed, and didn’t get it until Monday evening. Didn’t sleep well. Woke up feeling kind of flu-ish Tuesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon, was really in bad shape. My wife finally talked me into taking my temperature, and sure enough, I had a 101 fever…...

    Just found this also, Rafe Judkins (the show runner) doing his breakdown of the trailer. Will be pretty interesting if you’ve read at least the first couple of books.
