    The Fast Food Thread

    I think Wendy's chili is about the only redeeming food at the chain. The rest has taken a huge nose-dive. I don't think I have been to a Wendy's in over 3 years. Even though around me they are open super late. Still not worth it.. PS- (non-sequitur here) Raising Cain's chicken is way over-rated...

    The Astronomy Thread

    The most likely event from Earth will be the ability to see the Northern lights at more southern latitudes.

    Wednesday

    They definitely played up the Wednesday is girlfriend material for the first season. You know that is not going to go away. A date (not intercourse, damn it) is definitely going to happen this season. She is BF material but whether or not that boyfriend survives intact remains to be seen. And...

    Jeesh; I actually thought it was Bette Midler! But" they" is a "they" not a he or a she and" they" have been doing drag since "they" were 15... So, are "thier" parent's to blame or is it just mother/father/their nature? https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Jinkx_Monsoon also.... This is Why...

    Wednesday

    Okay -- I'm throwing this creepiness out there: Would you rather be Wednesday's date or victim? Or maybe a bit of both? Jenna is just spectacular in this role.

    Doctor Who

    Ironically, it is having a ripple effect on me. I am watching some select Peter Capaldi episodes. Just finished "Mummy on the Orient Express." So Disney is propping up my Amazon Prime membership, indirectly and without financial ties (that I am aware of anyway). I had to pay $0.87 to watch...

    Doctor Who

    Wow... And I do mean wow. So let's think about this-- you have a show that allows for a complete "Tabula rasa." You can paint whatever you want into that blank canvas. You can explore any genre, any time, for as many episodes as you want. You have an extraordinary budget and score. And these...

    Alex Rider

    Is anyone else watching this? There must be because there are three seasons of it so far. Teen super-spy-to-be who never knew his uncle was The Man From Uncle (and his Dad was probably Arnold Swatznegger's characterin "true Lies") I am three episodes in and I'm hooked. Who would have thought...

    That's unavoidable. At least there weren't fat lesbians too. And they said it a dozen times - "it's the reconstruction."

    I agree- super pretty and a beautiful natural look to her.

    Shardlake

    Found it kind of randomly on Hulu. Not the most ambitiously paced TV series, but rich and delicious with its Tudor setting. Acting is spectacular. Sean Bean doesn't die (that's not a spoiler). It's a solid mystery, delivered the way a classic mystery should unfold. A murder (maybe two, three or...

    Fallout

    It would be hard to cite post-apocalyptic works of non-fiction... Most of literature is fiction. The study of works of fiction does not make them irrelevant or untrue or not-representative of the human condition. The humanities departments throughout the world use fiction as a substrate. Plato...

    Fallout

    I bailed after 3 hours. It's a hot mess of a show. World-building is terrible and inconsistent. I never played the game, but I didn't with League of Legends and I think that Arcane is a masterpiece. This is just high-budget, bloody crap. It's bad for the 3 episodes I wasted on it before I...

    PLUS you get Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Anyone who has seen Scott Pilgrim will never lose his (or her) crush on her... AND she has a biker chick's ass in hot leather pants on her head!

    Ahsoka

    The DUMBEST plot "twist." Made absolutely no sense and destroys the character completely. Unforgivable. Look- the series is essentially cookie-cutter, almost AI-generated in its plots and characters and story arcs. They went for the look/feel (and characters) of the original Star Wars. They...

    True Detective

    I saw it coming at either episode 3 or 4-- I saw all the set-ups and tropes and I knew they were destined to fail. The show had a ton going for it-- great actors, beautiful cinematography, gorgeous and disturbing settings, a huge budget, some great callouts to John Carpenter;s "The Thing.," but...
