    Star Trek: Discovery

    Yeah, that's about what you have to say. It varied a lot. S2 was generally awful. But it even varied episode to episode. The episodes where they didn't focus on the blindly stupid time travel bullshit were much better episodes than the ones where they did. Enterprise didn't have quite...

    Breaking Bad

    Well, it did serve even that purpose. The fly episode showed us a couple of important things about the meth-process, about Jesse, and about Walt. Basically it showed how 90% of what they do is sitting around being bored waiting for a timer to go "ping". And the other 10% might just blow you...

    Yes, Seinfeldisthe Mensa of high brow comedy. Totally.

    Operation: Adebisi O'Mara

    Demand repayment in blowjobs. At first she will be offended, but when you threaten to take her to small claims court she will buckle and agree. Go to the daycare. Point at the cutest kid. "I'll take that one."

    No better shows have ever existed than Seinfeld or X-files.

    Xfiles is just an updated twilight zone. Some episodes were amazing. Most episodes were adequate. Some episodes were plain stupid. I never really liked Seinfeld. I liked George and I liked Newman. George just being George was usually good for a chuckle. But Elaine, Kramer, and Seinfeld...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    When things are obviously headed to a fuck but you still have your pants on seems like the best time to me. It's not dinner conversation. It's not a random thing that you bring up. That'll scare anyone away. Out of the blue some girl tells me she has the herp? Dude... I'm gone. Even if I...

    The earliest I've seen the quote attributed was to Napoleon. I think he trumps Heinlein.

    2/3 of it is. When you see a woman on screen without a man you can just fast forward. Unless she looks like a goth chick, that's the exception.

    Peel out on your grave is what makes that joke work. It would just be hateful without that. I laughed.

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    Comp time is a complete scam. I have never known -anyone- that had a positive experience with that shit. Even if you don't need the money take the money. Asking your boss for comp time is like asking "Is it ok if I work for free? It's legal as long as you call it comp time". You'll be...

    Boo hoo for cyber-bullied devs. How much money do they make a year, doing what exactly? Entirely too much for writing spreadsheets. Please tell me why I should have any amount of sympathy at all when devs get burned at their own media exploitation game. I think I'll save that for the...

    Breaking Bad

    See now, Seasons 2-4 would have been so very fucking much better if they had made Skylar the reluctant woman behind the man. Rather than this "oh yeah, it's the last few episodes, I guess we can finally make skylar stop being so horrible and uninteresting". They couldn't have done it in season...

    You're forgetting it's Vegas and the area surrounding Vegas. Whore is an actual job title. But you have to say it like they say it in the soprano's. I assume they prefer to be called Escorts. Service Industry Professional.

    Lol. We used to call Ezri Dax, "The round and pleasant Dax". It's completely the right word. She is justadorable. Not even the symbiote would be safe, nawmea.

    Point of Order: Is it Skylar or is it Skyler? I say it's Skylar, because it's a girls name and the Skylark is a bird. Girls get named after Birds, Flowers, and Idealism. Pretty things. Skyler looks like a female variant of Tyler which considering they're in in New Mexico might actually...

    The only place I disagree with him is that I never through TES was a very good story base for a RPG to begin with, even by Sword and Sorcery pulp standards. It wasn't Dragonlance or Forgotten Realms -- it was Greyhawk. HOWEVER, The TES gaming system was innovative and fresh and (for two of...

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    Basically you work them. If it really grinds your gears or it interferes with other responsibilities that you have you look for another job. Threatening to quit, even if it works as a tactic to retain a more desirable schedule, will only result in enough bad blood to turn the work environment...

    Sports writer kills himself, leaves behind website describing how and why

    Death with Dignity, assisted suicide, and aims, challenges, and realities of hospice care is something that people should give at least a little bit of thought to. It's a little morbid maybe but important. It's like deciding your Will, deciding your DNR status, deciding who has your power of...

    Sure, those instances exist. I don't think this guy meets any of those conditions. He was a semi-successful 60 year old who just decided he didn't want to get any older. Fear and despair drove that decision, no matter how rational that fear or how empirically well founded that despair...

    Gotta say the worst pain in my life was one time I had hepatitis. Not the virus, the actual condition. My liver got infected and swollen and I got mildly jaundiced. I'm not sure what caused it but it wasn't the virus seeing as that I don't have the virus. Holy fucking god that was horrible...

    MMO devs manage to show pretty consistently that they have enough trouble managing one ruleset, much less creating a game which could allow for multiple rulesets over multiple servers. They just don't think that way and for whatever reason (a few of them might even be decent budgetary /...

    My only question really is why are you staying friends with the spy roomate? The "she's her friend first my friend second" isn't a real thing. That's not a real thing. She's her friend not your friend. A friend to all is a friend to none. Roomate has to live with the girl so you can't...

    Yeah, he's right that it's just the wrong sort of baggage for an established actor like Nighy is. It's a good sort of baggage for younger actors though, or an older actor of the right temperment.

    Woah there. My college had a dance department. A fairly decent one, in that some students actually got hired out of it. If you're claiming to be a male classically trained dancer and claiming to NOT be homosexual -- you are part of the 10% my friend. They was all gay except for like 2...

    New Pope is good people. But I liked Darth Pope a lot. He was put in place to thwart the modernist/progressive factions of the church. So what does he do? ABDICATES. Like a boss.
