Dark was great. For anyone watching for the first time, Netflix made a great website that helps you keep up with who is who with no spoilers. Select the last episode you've finished and it only gives information to that point.

I used to work overnights and that is exactly what happened. In fall you work an extra hour and get an hour of overtime. In spring your shift would be an hour shorter. The company I worked for still paid us that hour so we got paid for an hour we didn't actually work which was nice.

Really bad take. All stories borrow elements from other stories but this took it to a rediculous level.

Saying that Star Wars stole from Dune because both Paul and Luke are names that appear in the Bible or because they both used electric binoculars is nuts. And that's just a couple examples.

Yes. That was Mark Bankston.

It just hit Dan that what Alex is doing isn't funny but dangerous. It was episode 174 where Dan has his realization that Alex has always been super racist and how that affects the things Alex says and does.

When the show started they covered current broadcasts. Soon after they started doing regular time travel episodes where they would put Alex in 'time out' and cover a past episode. Episode 174 is one of those episodes. It's the juxtaposition between the two times that put it all in focus for Dan. If you are looking for best episodes to go back and listen to, 174 is near the top and really addresses your questions.

Especially the lawn mower scene. One of the greatest cheesy horror films ever.

Enterprise refit. Loved the original Enterprise and the Enterprise D when TNG came out, but there was something magical about seeing the refit on the big screen.

She should have retired 15 years ago at 75. She helped create this problem.

Knowlage Fight coverd his deposition and it was hilarious.

Well said. You articulated what I was thinking much better than I did.

Sports is a very broad term. I am aware of MLBs antitrust exemption. However, that is a unique situation that does not apply across all sports. That's why we have seperte leagues like the NFL and XFL. My kids playing little leugue are not affected by this at all.

As for the 90% of males comment, this is rediculous. It is very possible to both follow and discuss politics while also have other interests. It's not an either or situation. There is nothing wrong with having distractions you enjoy.

I agree that pro sports are subject to massive corruption. But that doesn't make them a scam.

How are sports a scam?

The picture in the article is him as Gurney in Dune.

Then I don't want that website.
