The worst time to change jobs is when you’re already dead.
I remember watching that Sports Night finale with my girlfriend during law school, and it hit differently when the concept of billionaires was a fanciful ridiculous joke, and movies like The Green Hornet discuss how unlikely it was for a millionaire heir to be the sole result of a news empire rather than purchasing…
My pop culture weekend was extremely light. I finished my LE Modesitt book, and watched more Children’s Hospital than seems correct in 2022. I picked up the Magicians from my library, but haven’t actually opened the book yet.
A dollar is a very small cost for a reasonable funny show. Most of my memory of it is from clips watched to try to get context for Handsome Boy Modeling School's first record. I definitely have paid more than a dollar for less great shows.

When I first started, I read The Great Hunt before I realized it was the second book, so the ending of Book 1 isn’t as sacred to me as it is for...a lot of folks. The loss of Barney for the last two episodes clearly cost us some emotional/story beats, but knowing what I think I know about the production, I’m mostly…

Addendum: I realize I haven’t said a word about Fain. Some of the obsesseives have seen him in the background of a pass in the Ways, and I’ve taken to watching the show with closed captions on so I can be cued to hear the whistling in the background.
