Given that he is bleeding advertisers, he would have to go to a premium network, like HBO or to a subscription-based streaming service. It's certainly possible, but his options are more limited.

Do you think I am actually defending those guys?

If that is the case, how are these Department of Aviation security officers any less public servants than police are?

Will do. I was hoping to play it off as that thing King does where he has an out of context word in italics and brackets (blood) dropped into the middle of sentence, but your idea is superior.

I'm dubious about a series, as they only have the bare Skeleton (Crew) of a novella's plot to work from.

He has clarified his opinion a second time.

Not even off-duty cops. They were cops on duty to serve and protect.

Not at all. I just don't think the police's role in this should be swept under the rug.

"… was subsequently strong-armed by security goons…"

And speaking of corporatist police states, while United deserves all the shit they are getting for this, let's not forget that they actual beatdown was delivered by actual, tax-funded police, even though I noticed a lot of articles, including the AV Club's, identified them simply as "security".

That was the first full episode I caught as well.

I used to have a metabolism like a furnace in my teens and '20s. I could sit down and eat a medium pizza on my own and feel perfectly fine, and I have never topped 135 pounds in my life.

While it entered the market in 70s, the boom in HFCS consumption was in the '80s, with corn-based sweeteners overtaking refined sugar in 1985. During the '80s, it was legal to label HFCS as "sugar" on product labels, so this was largely invisible to the public. Labelling laws were eventually changed as some people…

The sauce is the real killer for me with Pizza Hut. It has an unpleasant, chemical quality to it.

I agree. I first caught MST3K when I dropped by a friends house while an episode was running in the background. As it was mid-episode and I couldn't stay too long, I never saw a skit. It meant that while I liked it, it was just random voices shouting out the jokes. The next time I saw it, I caught an entire episode,…

I personally have mixed feelings on this. I know that suicidal people are often in a lot of pain, and it is simplistic to characterize them as selfish. At the same time, I still get angry at my cousin for shooting herself in the head and leaving her three year old daughter behind. And I am selfishly mad at her for…

And guess which one I have available on demand.

Bah, More cushion for the pushin', I say.

UK shows were a big weakness for me as well. If we can point to one genuine good piracy brought to the world, it has been getting the BBC to stop making other countries wait for Doctor Who.

Me either. I used to use Demonoid, but I believe that is gone now. I'm happier using digital purchase/rental now it is an easy option.
