“But I don’t understand why killing Robin would stop past Daisy from destroying the world? Unless Robin giving the answers would lead to Daisy doing it, but that goes against the idea of a new timeline starting?”

What’s crazy to me is that Austin is known for its local music scene and I only saw one music recommendation - Stubbs (good rec, too). There’s also Eugene’s, the Broken Spoke, and more. My favorite is Cheatham Street Warehouse, but that’s actually 30 minutes away in San Marcos.

I tried to watch Halt and Catch Fire when it first premiered, but I thought it was really, really bad. Like...unwatchably bad. The characters were poorly-written cliches, three of the four main actors were super hammy. I like the one guy’s wife and a lot of the background characters, but the main guy and his…

“The Lost Sister” was uneven, but I still enjoyed it a lot. I had “Runaway” stuck in my head for like 3 weeks after watching it, too.

Yeah, I can see that. I haven’t seen the show yet, but I read the book right after the election. It was one of the best books I’ve ever read, but it really stressed me out. I’ve been putting off watching the show because of that.

I agree with you on everything but The Americans (and Bojack Horseman, Nathan for You, Insecure, Mr. Robot, Mindhunter, and Feud only because I haven’t seen them). I agree that The Americans was a slower season than the previous four with very little in the way of big events, but I really enjoyed it. The tension with…

I love The Americans. It’s probably my favorite show on TV, though Better Call Saul and Fargo are close behind for me.

I’m not into True Crime at all, but I adore White Wine True Crime, hosted by Kari Martin and Caitlin Cutt. They are also the co-hosts of the Pretty Scary podcast on the Unpopular Opinion network. The latter is a $5/mo Patreon subscription with about 12 different podcasts each week, with two random ones being free each…

My stray thoughts:

Yeah, we are in a weird situation with this right now. We just started my son in basketball (he’s 5). They don’t start until January, but at this point, he can’t dribble AT ALL and can only throw the ball maybe 2 feet over his head. He went to a skills night practice thing and was the ONLY kid there that couldn’t do…

It’s weird seeing someone praise Katie Casddiy’s acting. I think she’s one of the worst people in the entire series. Her over-the-top acting and scene chewing isn’t quite on the level of Captain Cold, but it’s close. She was hammy as Laurel Lance. She’s awful as Black Siren. I’ve gotten to the point that I…

Yeah, that’s a good point. I just now transferred $2400 to savings. Thank you.

Until recently, my wife and I had around $12k in our checking account after monthly bills each month. Our monthly expenses are something like $5600 a month (including retirement investments) and our monthly take-home income is around $6400, allowing us to save between $300-1000 a month depending on our frugality that…

Same here. Occasionally there is a little gem in FTWD, but mostly it’s just garbage television for my eyeholes.

My own stray observations:

I’m seeing your comment from 4 months in the future and totally agree. I feel like an ass replying to people from 8 months ago.

Arg...I’m sorry for resurrecting your 7 month-old comment. I didn’t notice the date.

I would say that you’re wrong, yes. Having started with Mario Kart on the SNES back in the early 90s, I think each console iteration of Mario Kart has been an improvement over the previous one (maybe not Double Dash - it was good, but I preferred 64). I don’t know what “weird mechanics” you could be talking about. The…

I get what you mean, but I think that Ezekiel being ridiculously saved by three different deus ex’s was to highlight how useless he feels as a leader, now.

Wait, they killed Lockjaw in the comics?! When?!
