  1. Maybe they're just trying to out-Lost Lost. I never watched that show either but I've heard the ending kinda ruined the whole thing for a lot of people. I actually still haven't seen any of season 8 but I don't care so much that I've been reading all the spoilers here. It might be like True Blood for me where I don't even bother with the final season.
  2. I think for me it's more that the quality has just dropped off the continental shelf. If it wasn't so good in the beginning then I wouldn't have had some high expectations. I'm used to book adaptations being bad and this is a book series that I'm not familiar with.
  3. We enjoyed season 4 of Luci but I wish it were longer. I'd actually like more "filler" episodes as this new season was the shortest so far. While a different issue I think STD could also benefit from more episodes as it might help with the pacing issues and their Zach Snyder-esque speed up, slow down character development. Would also help flesh out the rest of the crew. Though bad writing is still bad writing.
  4. In the past week I've had a few fingers of the following Barros 20 year tawny port Zacapa 23 year rum Breckenridge single barrel bourbon Only thing I'm missing is a nice smoky, peaty Scotch
  5. Reading some rumors that Kyrie might be interested in joining the Lakers after being the main man didn't pay off like he thought it would
  6. Well, we did just decriminalize magic mushrooms
  7. My wife's best friend back in Estonia got a year and the father got a month or two. In that case though I think it was their employer who had a more generous policy than the law dictates which I think is closer to 6 months for the mom and 2 weeks for the dad. My only option was unpaid FMLA leave because I had to go into the hole with PTO during the shutdown (company policy) and my wife's is just vacation days because her company is too small for any federal requirements.
  8. I know what I'll be playing every single time
  9. Might be worth it just to see how big they think they went. It is an interesting trainwreck just try not to think about it very much, or at all really, if possible.
  10. The episodes are really hit and miss
  11. ARE is just light edutainment. There's a clear bias in most of the episodes but I treat it like Wikipedia as he also cites his sources, usually displayed on screen, and it makes it easier to find more info on a given subject. Of course his gimmick is to ruin whatever the topic is so you know how he's going to come at whatever the subject is.
  12. No maternity leave either But yeah, nothing I can do but roll with the punches.
  13. Only once a week, Mondays. And all of my family is either dead or lives in other states
  14. Mother in law got denied a visa to come help my wife so she can go back to work. Dunno what we're going to do now.
  15. I used to think it was a frivolous lawsuit too until I saw it on an episode of Adam Ruins Everything
  16. What We Left Behind is the name of the doc. It had a crowdfunding campaign some years ago and we finally got to have a look at it for a short while last week. The streaming platform they used really sucked though and I have no idea when we'll get to have it for keeps in either digital or whatever physical media exists nowadays.
  17. Okey
  18. We'll probably start the second season today, it was just the way that the finale ended that was offputting. I'd highly recommend the show so far. The DS9 doc was pretty good. Nana Visitor (Kira) really did not like Marc Alaimo (Dukat).
  19. Finished season 1 of Community. Was great and hilarious up until the end where it limped across the finish line.
  20. Burned myself out on STO so I'm back to LOTRO
  21. Congrats Gromnir! I've been getting very little sleep with a new puppy in the house
