Exactly. I would add that BSG fell into the same trap trying to cover religion as most other sci-fi efforts have, and it's just a game killer.

Are… are we the same person? Is that me? From a different time?

I'm in the middle of a terrific X-Com 2 run in Ironman mode (the only way I've ever played it). I think this might be it. It's about my sixtieth attempt - no joke - to win the game, and I might pull it off.

Yeah, that was way too random. I'm never going to watch Just Shoot Me again, even though I liked it pretty well when I was 16. But that's just because there isn't anything there.

I rewatched most of BCS recently. It holds up surprisingly well.

I've got to rewatch Stranger Things, if only because I didn't love it as much as I clearly should have. I kind of watched it only with one eye, though. I'll pay more attention next time around.

I binge-watch TV I've already seen all the time. It drives my wife crazy. Eventually I'll play Archer or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia one time too many and she'll kill me, and no jury will convict her. Seriously, I've probably run those series ten times or more. Typing that makes me embarrassed.

I started reading the books more or less when they came out - maybe around 2000? 1999? I really enjoyed them at the time. For some reason, though, when I see them on my bookshelves now I feel weirded out, like I should NOT have so many hardcover children's books. I don't feel the wistful nostalgia I get when I come…

Loved it when it came out. Then again, I was 13 or 14. Then again again, I listened to some real good shit when I was 14. Then again x3, we discovered booze right around the same time, so yeah.

I was totally taken by surprise. :) Which says more about me than anything about the show, I'm sure.

Getting it out of the way…the cougar and Johnny Drama's Cabin in the
Woods are pure cheese. But it's Kim, literally anything dumb with her
was plausible the first two seasons.

No, I'm definitely with you. The show was novel and fresh, and the whole twist with Nina was awesome - the best plot point in the whole series. I'm a little surprised that so many people here seem to think other seasons were better.

In later seasons … Jack became less like a dimensional television character and more like the faceless protagonist of a first-person shooter.

Heh heh heh heh heh hee hee hee hee hee! Upvoted because I'm 12, and nasty poop is funny.

I grilled lobsters for the first time last summer. Don't know why I never had them like that before. Delicious! But yeah, killing them was up close and personal - way weirder than I thought it'd be.

Yeah! "Buddhist psychiatrists living in a communal house in Baltimore". Really makes me think we'd have a lot in common. Their patients must have found them very relatable.

To be fair, killing lobsters is way more brutal than you'd think. Those claws slowly waving around, like spider legs?

That is such a sad way to end a vegetarian challenge that it feels like you made it up, but I know you didn't. I'm so sorry.

I'm pretty surprised she liked it, particularly the red meat. I'm a stone-cold carnivore, but steak (particularly very rare steak) can sometimes still be a little gross, or at least rough on my stomach. And jumping right into marrow? Damn, woman. Good for you, because marrow kicks ass, but still. Most meat eaters…
