I loved HIMYM. I got into it late in its run, in the summer between Season 6 and Season 7. It came to me at a point in my life where I was going through stuff very similar to Ted — looking for a partner in life, and not finding a lot of luck in the process. So, it really, really resonated with me. And even beyond…

BSG is definitely one I've had zero desire to revisit after watching it. The first, oh, two seasons or so were AMAZING. But I found that — airdrop Galactica aside — once they went to New Kobol, the wheels kinda came off the show. It still had entertaining moments to it, but when I heard Moore himself say "We didn't…

Question: when does Farscape actually get good in its run?

Oh come on. Dexter had jumped the shark well before the final season. I'd say really that the 5th season — that's the one with Lumen, right? — was when it totally went off the rails. The John Lithgow season was rough, but compelling. And after that, when the show changed showrunners, it just got sloppy and stupid…

Trump has altered the deal. Pray he does not alter it further.

Film Crit Hulk?

I liked Misery, myself.

Came here for the Frank Stallone references. Did not leave disappointed.

Yeah, that sounds like "Chieftan" level difficulty. I usually played at that or "Warlord," if memory serves, and I found myself fighting in the 1950s or something. I'm aware of Churchill's attitudes towards the Soviets after WWII. I'm glad we don't live in a world where the war dragged on.

Maybe he thought he was gonna get to quote Pink Floyd, and then was disappointed as he read further?

Probably just because of his Sheffield accent. "Munneh."

The Civ games have always had major problems with consistency and scale in terms of units and how the map is handled, and even time.

I have written EXACTLY this same thing several times in the past. Civ is a strategic-level game. You can have tactical-level battles, but you need a separate battle map for that a la Master of Orion/Magic or the Total War series (albeit I'd stick with the turn-based approach). Otherwise, you need a lot more…

Civ IV had similar problems in terms of managing units, but at least there you could group them together in armies and move them around as stacks. Civ V, however, had the "carpet of doom".

That's because the game made the idiotic choice to go with 1 unit per tile (1UPT) as if it were a wargame. It was, quite possibly, one of the worst decisions and it utterly soured me on the entire franchise after Civ IV.

I have the GoT cookbook, and it's fantastic. I regularly use their recipe for Poudre Douce, which tastes awesome on oatmeal, by the way.

This article did not contain enough randomly bolded words to show emphasis in speech patterns in a desperate attempt to cover up a once bright talent now dimmed to a shadow of his former glory.

Yeah, I've really enjoyed it, which surprised me. I hope that the Season 3 finale wraps up whatever lingering storylines there are, and potentially provides a suitable finale to the series. That or at least do a limited series to wrap it up.

The other option is kind of what the comic has done, which is to leave the zombies around, but treat the main problem as other human antagonists…but at that point, you're just in a "building society…plus zombies" show. And, to be honest, I'm not really sure that's all that interesting.

Actually, Compendium 3 includes all of that stuff. You have the war with Negan and the aftermath with the start of the conflict with the Whisperers and the time jump. And yet, when I finished, I just felt like…meh. It had lost its luster. It was different in many respects, and yet just felt tired at the same time.
