So out of character.
I do not think Tyrion or Cersei would even listen to Elmo, much less obey him.
They may shortly work together to have him imprisoned for spying on them, but then they go back to being enemies.

Are you kidding me?

Ever seen that Twilight Zone episode with the horrible little kid that had godlike powers, that would cruelly mutilate animals (AND PEOPLE!) with his powers for fun, then put them in the corn field?

Ever seen Elmo's imaginary world?

Elmo is like that horrible boy, only even more inept.  YOU DON'T ARGUE with a being that can conjure up imaginary shit at will!  You JUST DONT!

And who ends up on the Iron Throne? Forget about all your office betting pools, it's Grover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhWUFXvaZjo

Honestly the throne made of golf clubs is a way better idea then one made of swords.

Someone blew up Easter in Sri Lanka this morning.

Well this is horrifying. I much prefer the Good Omens kid.

I was reading Star Fox trivia on TVTropes (because being a Star Fox fan is suffering) and discovered that the game was partly inspired by a British TV show called "Thunderbirds."

The only thing I can think of (besides "AAAAAAAAAAAAA" and "WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA") is Team America: World Police.

... and I learn that Team America is actually a parody of Thunderbirds. What an obscure topic to parody, but I guess it finally makes sense why they chose marionettes.

Captain Scarlet was better /fiteme

[MrRoboto75]

I actually kinda liked thunderbirds

[Mech#4]

I did watch bits of it, but I can't remember much of the show, mostly just the launch sequences. The die-cast toys of the ships were very cool with folding legs and wings.

The show isn't that obscure, it aired in at least 67 different countries, according to wikipedia, which makes it pretty well known. Also, I just found out that Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek TNG / Riker) directed a live-action movie based on it, which coincidentally came out the same year as Team America. Lot's of sci-fi buffs know about it.

[IcyTea31]

The radio show based on it aired even wider, AFAIK.

BTW if you want "what the hell were they thinking?" then Thunderbird's puppets don't even scratch the surface.

You clearly haven't experienced Synchro-Vox:

Amazon currently has the comic-book adaptation of the Diary Of Anne Frank on sale.

This, folks, is why I generally wait so long before upgrading software.

I finally broke down and updated my iPhone SE from iOS 11 to 12.  I'm not really impressed, but not really that put off either.

However, when I tried to back it up to my old (circa 2005? 2007?) MacBook Pro which is running just fine on OS X 10.10... "You need to upgrade to OSX 10.11 or later for iTunes to connect to this phone."

Dammit, why?  Now I have to risk upgrading my perfectly functional computer...  or only use my wife's much newer MacBook Air to back-up my phone.

[Frumple]

You can also just not back up the phone
