Along with her beauty she was a great manipulator as well. Which is why she was such a successful hustler/hooker. It wasn't until the years of drugs and alcohol took their toll on her that she started getting sloppy, and Ace was finally able to see thru her.
Remember, he came in thru the back door, probably thru the golf coarse. Who knows how far away he had to park.
Not sure how anyone got the idea that they were abusive to John based on how little we saw of them. I took it as they tried to set boundaries and structure for John, and he just rebelled against it, and they were exhausted by him. Obviously the T-1000 wasn't the first time someone in a police uniform came to their door asking for John.
….Did you hear that Jeffrey Epstein is dead?
Yes honey, I heard about his suicide.
*hangs up*
Your foster parents are dead.
Decent people who for whatever reason had no children of their own, so instead they took on foster children, naively thinking they could "fix" a broken teenager by giving him a stable and structured home.
So who DID start the fire????
Mike: Oh yeah that happened to me on a date once. Grandma came out and killed a guy...….. Dated that girl for awhile.
Mike as Jody's inner monologue: Hmmmmm pretty girl says she's a witch, Grandma just killed a cop, locked in the barn. Something just isn't right.
Didn't he dump her?
Anyways, they might have been a good short term couple, while in school. But ultimately the best thing Finn had going for him in regards to banging Meadow was that he was the polar opposite of Jackie (aside from being Italian).
When the Bulldog shakes the ropes, Martel falls and nuts himself. At that point, he leans forward back into the ring. Then he starts moving backwards, and which point the Bulldog clotheslines him and he goes over the ropes and is eliminated.
Two reasons why this is a good elimination.
1) He leans back into the ring, thus making him eligible to be eliminated.
2) The corners and the ring posts count as part of the ring and the ropes. Since he was on the top rope, that counts as being in the ring, and going over the corner counts just the same as going over the top rope.
It would have been better if Savage had come down, and gotten major heat from the crowd. Then a minute later the Warrior comes flying out, probably getting the biggest pop of the night. HE proceeds to pummel Savage, who then flees from the ring, with the Warrior in hot pursuit.
Time travel is not instantaneous. It takes some time after you leave the future before you arrive in the past. The Terminator was already in the process of going thru and couldn't be stopped. So the only way John could prevent him from killing his mother would be to send someone back to protect her.
I think we can go to no less an authority than Bluto on the matter. Here was his list in his words "WORMER, HE'S A DEAD MAN. MARMALARD, DEAD. NEEEEEIDERMEYERRRRRRRR...…"
1) Wormer. His disdain and obsession with destroying the Delta's is what drove everything. The other house would not have had any authority to do anything if it wasn't for Wormer's backing. Also, expelling them wasn't even enough for him, he even called their draft boards, which would almost certainly mean Vietnam.
2) Marmalard. Granted he was acting under orders from Wormer, but he was obsessed with using his powers against them as well. Though I give him a pass for the Motel, since he did believe that Otter had slept with his girlfriend.
3) Neidermeyer. I don't think he actually had anything against the Deltas. He was just a sadistic, militant prick, and they were the sworn enemy of his frat.
In the book he was nude.
I'll take the sequels over the prequels. The prequels did have some great moments, but it had even more really bad ones. And there was some really bad acting, which stuck out even more when it was around great actors like Natalie Portman, Ewen McGregor, and Liam Neilson. As bad as Rose may have been in TLJ, she didn't sink the whole movie the way Jar Jar did.
The most frustrating thing about the prequels was that they had the potential to be great. We all knew how the story was going to end, so they didn't have to deal with that pressure and just had to find a coherent way to get there. But it was one bad choice after another by Lucas. In the end, we're left with a handful of great scenes, one "good" movie and a lot of crap.
The one thing I will say the prequels did better was having a clear plan for the how the story was going to go. All 3 movies feel like they were pointed in the same direction and continuing one story. With the sequels, TFA started one way, TLJ went a completely different way, disregarding some of the great things its predecessor had set up, but then TROS doubled back to TFA and continued those plot points while disregarding things from TLJ. I enjoy each movie on their own, but as a trilogy its all over the place.
Tywin figured it out that Arya was not just a peasant Northern girl, but he had no clue that she was actually a Stark. He could tell by how educated she was, how well she spoke, and she slipped at let on that her father was "well read", that was from nobility. Surprising that he made no attempt to figure out which house, especially since she was obviously hiding it from everyone, to the point that she as pretending to be a boy. I wonder if it was because he liked her and she did a good job.
I believe Littlefinger DID recognize Arya. The way he looked at her makes me believe that he realized he was around a daughter of the woman he loved. Of course that begs the question of why he never said anything to Tywin about it, or reported it back to Cersei who had hired him to find Arya. Maybe he didn't want to embarrass Tywin, and by the time he could realize it, Arya was long gone.

I wasn't a fan of Bran being made king, but if that's the way the show wanted to go, then they could have gone deeper into his powers. What can they do, and what can't he do. Maybe show how he can benefit the kingdom by using them. Also spend a little more time with him and Tyrion, so it would make more sense for Tyrion to name him King.
I'm assuming that it was G.R.R.M's plan to have Bran be named king at the end of the books.
The Real Answer: The show fucked up.
But if you want to try to shoe horn an answer to fit with the story, here's two possibilities.
1) Stannis's wife was so brainwashed into believing everything Melisandre said, that even her own mind deceived her from seeing The Red Woman as she really was. Remember, this was the same woman who was ok with her only daughter being burned at the stake, up until the moment it started.
2) When she was in the bath, Melisandre's faith in the Lord of Light was as strong as it ever was. So maybe that faith, was strong enough for her to keep up a youthful appearance. But after Stannis's defeat, and the death of Jon Snow, she has lost faith in the LoL, so she can't hide her age without her necklace, or she doesn't care enough to try.
After the Battle of Winterfell her duty had been completed so she disappeared to whatever afterlife she believed in.
Can you source that interview where Chase says that Tony got killed? He's always been very coy about the ending, and seems to get off on the fact that he's smarter than everyone else.
They use the term Goodfella, or Wiseguy, as a way to say that someone is involved with the mob in some form of business. That he is one of them.
Ms. White had some awesome lines:
Miss Scarlett: Do you miss him?
White: Well its a matter of life after death. Now that he's dead I have a life.
Wadsworth:...your first husband also disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
White: That was his job. He was an illusionist.
Wadsworth: But he never reappeared.
White: He wasn't a very good illusionist.
Mrs. Peacock: What does your husband do?
White: Nothing. Just lies on his back all day.
Scarlett: Sounds like hard work to me.
Mustard: How many husbands have you had???!!!
White: Mine or other women's?
