The “I don’t care what happens to these characters” rule is a good one (it’s like that in life, too, right?), especially for non-procedural shows. If I really have no interest in the future of these people, why would I give them my time?

I think last night’s episode was #48; I think there are 48 days between today and 09 Jan. I think that means I need to do an episode a day re-watch until the return.

See, to me, physics & philosophy are asking essentially the same question: “what next?” Each is trying to unwrap the [fill-in-the-blank] down to its core. Not sure whether & how biology fits in there, but I think it can.

Nice touch having Janet tear up a bit when she handed Chidi’s note back to him. She’s becoming more human-like. And D’Arcy Carden played that bit beautifully.

The Repeal the 8th campaign quite nearly broke my family apart. I’ve cousins (sisters) who are foursquare opposed on the issue. I’m from & live in the States; I lived in Ireland for several of my teen years, so I watch Irish news/politics quite closely. I was surprised & quite pleased that the vote went the way it did.

No. That was Massey Energy, CEO was Don Blankenship. No less worthy of the “fuck him”.

Brents don’t know they’re Brents.

dp4m, you say:
