offices along the edge with lots of windows and light coming in, and a very chill company overall (amusingly, run by a bunch of efficient Germans).

One of the strengths of the show, in my opinion, was that you knew the characters almost solely on how they interacted with others on the job. Benjamin Bratt’s Detective Curtis seemed to be one of the only characters who even mentions having a family life with any regularity. Heck, almost every character on the show…

I, for one, am excited about this reboot...

My favorite example of this was the 1965 film Battle of the Bulge, which despite taking place during a winter snow storm in the heavily forrested, hilly terrain of southeast Belgium, was clearly filmed in a swelteringly hot desert environment.

They also appear to hanging out in the part of Texas settled by people from the Italian Renaissance.

I speak Dutch as a second language, and even I can’t imitate Dutch-accented English, its so indistinct, beyond sounding vaguely European. I’ve never heard the real Tom Parker’s voice, but I suspect he maintained no trace of Dutch.

As soon as I read the headline, all I could hear in my mind were those distinctive piano cords.

A death certificate, though, is not the same as an autopsy report, which goes into far more detail and does usually (but not always) fall under the rubric of medical records. Some of the information that made it into the news reports about Sagat’s death seemed a little too detailed for a death certificate, that's why…

That law already exists, and its abbreviated as HIPAA. It even applies after death unless someone who is authorized releases the information. Everytime the details of a celebrity’s death gets reported in the news, my first thought is “Did the family authorize this?” If not, someone probably broke the law.

When I read the details about his death report, my first thought was "Umm, did his family authorize the release of this information?" At least some the details would definately fall under HIPAA protections.  Particularly the toxicology report.

At age 65, you don’t need a blow strong enough for a skull fracture to cause a cerebral hemorrhage. If there’s enough acceleration/deceleration of the brain, one of more of the bridging veins that attach the brain to the meninges can tear. These generally have a lot less elasticity once we get older.

I don’t remember the stated reason why Dorothy needed to share a house, but she wasn’t retired, she still worked as a substitute teacher.

That was my thought. Actually doing this for real with honest intentions can’t be that much more difficult. He would need the networking skills cultivate the right contacts, and with all the people he managed to ingratiate himself to, it would seem this would not have been outside his abilities.

For DC neighborhoods, Adam Morgan would be a good one. I'd be surprised if no porn actor has yet named themselves Foggy Bottom.

Makes me wonder how Harald Bluetooth earned his epithet.

Maybe its one of those movies where she wears blocky glasses and has her hair in a bun...then, she takes off the glasses and lets the hair down, and, wow, she’s secretly gorgeous! 

Kids these days will never know what it once meant to “watch an unscrambled movie”.

I admit, this commercial confused me as a kid. Why do you need a store to sell money?

I don’t agree with any aspect of the way crypto has been implemented, which has basically just made it a libertarian speculative Ponzi scheme. But as a system that acts as a complete electronic ledger, it would have held great promise for countries that don’t have reliable banks, especially if it was properly…

Not really. If this show occupies the time frame I think it does, it ends with Sauron's first defeat- basically, the flashback that opened the Fellowship of the Ring.
