I can see the perks to a uniform set, but I do rather like the differing illustration styles that came out from the different sets. Those tryptichs on the back of the insert on the 1st and 2nd season are outrageously awesome and I'm happy that they did those in the different styles. They kind of reflect the tone of…
Good to have on record, I guess :P Still an awesome illustration. The really great thing about it is that you probably know you can't outright dismiss the notion that they likely commissioned it specifically like that on purpose, just to rile the pedants.
Their commentary is the best. Won't learn a darn thing about the show for the most part, but dammit, you will be entertained!
I friggin love this cover art. So much better than the 4.1 and 4.2 DVDs. They really phoned those in. Still not as nice as the S1-S3 sets overall, but a definite improvement!
I would later learn that they were absurdly out of date at the time I was reading them in the early to mid 90s, but this is where I started. Loved these books. We had almost the full set, snagged from a used bookstore for a steal.
Ooooh Amazon, you jerks. Pre-ordered this, they billed me at $18.96. Now on release day it's on sale at $16.99. That's just mean. Wonder if I should chase a price guarantee credit just on principle.

How do $62 million in municipal bonds get issued for the construction of a theme-park with an overtly religious theme anyway? Isn't that a misuse of public funding? It's an honest question, for any in the know who are keen on answering this.
Depends on their relative ripeness at the store and whether they are still on the vine. Vine tomatoes last me upward of two weeks if I buy them while they are still somewhat firm. They are going close to overripe but still very much usable after that time. If they are soft to the touch and fully ripe at purchase,…
Ice cube must balance out the flavor profile. Drinking chilled red wine is, to me, equivalent to sucking on a lemon peel dipped in alum. Way too bitter!
He is an EDM/pop producer/DJ I do believe.
Being my first name as well, I must say I've never been too fond of it. It's a chewy name, kind of awkward to say. Others must agree, because over the course my whole life so far, almost everyone inevitably assigns me a nickname or calls me by my last name after a short while.
I get pretty good results from tossing the frozen veggies in a hot sautee for a minute or two, using either a little butter or olive oil. They heat through pretty quickly, stay somewhat crisp (nowhere near as crisp as fresh, obvs) and don't sponge up a lot of extra liquid like they do in a pot of water. Seems to work…
Call it how you want, it was a battle, it was final, and it was disappointing.
Yeah, I think you're right. Just another reason it was a very underwhelming final battle.

I'm game for any changes to those labels, they're a thinly-veiled lie most of the time as they are. Real tell will be to see how the companies who manipulated those tiny serving sizes to make their product look less unhealthy than it was will react to this change. Might be fun to hold on to some old labels from things…
I go out of my way to avoid most anything with aspartame that I can just because of this. Tastes like shit, and gives me a faintly metallic aftertaste. Actually, I go out my way to avoid most artificial sweeteners for the same reason— I hate the taste.
Oh I agree. It's a kind of music that's very much to my taste, but finding people who share that taste as enthusiastically as I do is a constant challenge.
