Anyone read any good books or seen an interesting movie lately?

I'm currently reading the Rain Wilds Chronicles by Robin Hobb. Good stuff.

I think I called morm innocent when I was doing my seer impersonation, right? It would make sense for him to be part of the Macpack, in that case.

Oooh! I know!

Mac and morm are both dads, and after the last episode of GoT, we all know dads are evil.

Clearly Nog is the third member of their pack.

That's what they are called when they are lynched on Day 1.

And I'm disappointed no one is on board with my alternate spelling- Phenris Wolf.

After all, I cast the first ever vote for the first ever Phenris on this website (Anguirel in WW 1), so I think I ought to be allowed some say in the name.

So you can fill this thread with awful dad jokes.

Which reminds me that I was going to post this...

I still haven't seen the latest episode (I know shocking! You'll laugh but it's because I've been too caught up in WW - and well you remember how long I stayed up on Monday which is when it's available for Europeans ) but the joke was worth this mild spoiler.

Agan - brace yourself and make sure you have some of that tipple that Nog was offering earlier, or even something stronger, by your side. I screamed at least three times.

Morm, Mac, and McCaber alliterate nicely... (still holding out for my trifecta of suspects at the start of Day 2 to all be wolves )

No as a matter of fact, you spoke about Boro, Lommy, Firefoot and me. So if you're not a wolf, Mac is just a very persistent liar.

Maybe he remembered that I like uncloaking too much to save it for when I actually have a role.

Is it just me or from the previews does it look like the velociraptors are on the side of the good guys this time?

Chris Pratt trained them, apparently, and maybe we'll even get a showdown between the raptors and the hybrid.

These Wolves are sneaky. Like ninjas.

Often the Baddies are not those you never suspect.

Wolves are very cool under pressure.

Guess it's this, but I'm not sure what that has to do with day 1 lynchings.

I loved Mad Max: Fury Road! I suppose quoting it might have counted as a ranger/lover hint to those who have seen it - after all I cultivated Warboy references. I live, I die, I live again! (Then again, spraying mouth with silver paint was also appropriate for a hunter out to get some wolves - I may have mentioned to Kuru that while my preferred weapon is bow & arrows, I also like biting and clawing.)

As to books, Jack Glass by Adam Roberts was brilliant.
