It's Always Sunny: Good to see Mac lost all the weight, but including an actual flashback in the first episode was cruel. - Mop Oct 14, 20:20 3
- I'm not sure why it's cruel. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 14, 20:23 2
  - If the first episode back as "not-fat Mac", do you really have to show a 5 year old clip of "young and skinny Mac"? -- nm - Mop Oct 14, 20:28 1
    - Is this the first episode you've ever watched? Nothing about the show is sensitive or appropriate. - kelly Oct 14, 20:37
Damnit, that last Rodgers TD likely cost me a matchup this week... - Stephen, Shaking Down The Thunder! Oct 14, 20:12 2

- They've been augmented like a post office bicyclist, but the basic gist is still simple enough -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 20:07
Dr Who question - I've never seen an episode. I *may* try it at some point (as I can watch instantly on Netflix). Do I need to start from the - kelly Oct 14, 20:00 14
- I would say if you're looking for a series to catch up on, this is a great choice. - JaxSean Oct 14, 20:59 1
  - The early ones are just as great, but if you have a low tolerance for cheezy cheap effects ...s - the liioulu with something Oct 14, 22:37
- the Eccelston season is more than fine to start..... - Remlik Oct 14, 20:10 10
  - I'm not sure I'll ever watch it - it doesn't really interest me all that much - but I might try a few episodes just to see what all the fuss is about. - kelly Oct 14, 20:15 9
    - It's kinda silly, kinda hilarious, kinda serious, and kinda suspenseful, and sometimes kinda really sad. - Trish (free Pixie!) Oct 14, 20:24 7
      - the lesson here? - Remlik Oct 14, 20:27 6

- It's been years, and I just don't see any signs of NBC improving. - Mop Oct 14, 20:02
- I think it was more "Well, we blew $10M on this thing, might as well air it on a Friday night." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 14, 19:52 2
  - that. and if it hits who knows. -- nm - Remlik Oct 14, 19:54
  - Yeah, the Friday before Halloween. When 90% of their audience will be partying. Hardly seems worth the cost to transmit the pixels. -- nm - GregW Oct 14, 19:54

      - Huh. I didn't hear much about it. -- nm - David Oct 14, 19:11 11
        
        Also on a serious note ... I swear Wikipedia said Oct 25th for the return when I checked last weekend. My PVR knew better, of course. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 19:21

Wait, wait, wait... did I just see a steam locomotive in a commercial for Revolution? It's like they're intentionally messing with me. -- nm - Mop Oct 14, 18:05 19
- I don't get it. are you afraid of steam locomotives? -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 18:29 13
  - I'm pretty sure it blows a huge gaping hole in the premise if steam power still works just fine. - Mop Oct 14, 18:36 11
    - Doesn't do much good if you don't have a system already set up make the stuff. - Ender Oct 14, 18:48 2
      - This. It's not like the average person knows how to up and build a steam engine. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 14, 21:09
      - without seeing the trailer, this summer after the DC derecho, I thought the town was going to break out in riots after two days without power. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 18:49
    - wow, I'm lost. Guess I should watch the trailer. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 18:47
    - What is the premise? Everything just mysteriously stopped working? - GregW Oct 14, 18:42 5
      - The laws of science changed overnight. - David Oct 14, 19:02 1

      - And here's the other thing. A "New Victorian Age" series? Would be fucking awesome. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 18:49 2
        
        See, now if Revolution was a steam punk show, we'd all be watching. -- nm - Mop on iPad Oct 14, 19:28
        
        hell yea! -- nm - charles Babbage Oct 14, 18:53
    - Yeah, I'd be fine with them saying "*waves hands* ...and steam power no longer works." But you can't turn around 4 episodes later and say "oh, steam, - Reagen Oct 14, 18:41
  - It would take 12 minutes, not 12 years, for people to figure out steam power. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 18:33

- Yes, down with Christmas commercials. We want more room for political ads!! -- nm - Bacon Oct 14, 18:34
- I guess I am weird. I love Christmas so early commercials don't bother me. Anyway, they really don't get earlier every year -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 18:15 5
  - It would be nice if it were a bit cooler here. With highs still in the 80s, it doesn't even feel like Fall. -- nm - GregW Oct 14, 18:29 4
    - where do you live? -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 18:30 3
      - DFW. -- nm - GregW Oct 14, 18:43 2
        
        it's been cold in the DC area, so feels like fall to me. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 18:48 1
        
        It's been crazy weather here. Pretty cold at night (30s), chilly mornings, then suddenly jumps up into the 70s. - kelly Oct 14, 18:51

- for mpg, i would guess mid to low 20s, depending on the mix of city and highway. other than that its a ford - Truman Oct 14, 19:34
- even with diesel, that's going to be a pig on gas. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 18:20 2
  - I don't see how. Perhaps I'm being too literal, though. :-) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 18:28 1
    - not when you're comparing it to this one ... -- (link) - zork Oct 14, 19:13
- My dad has one of those from work. They're effing huge. - spamlet (iPhone) Oct 14, 18:19
- Heh, I was just looking at SUVs ... so my thoughts are "that's a truck". -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 18:09 6
  - OK, took another glance - low KMs, 4WD, nice steering wheel buttons ... and holy geez, that's some engine. That's a Truck, capital T. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 18:14 5
    - We're looking to upgrade our camper in the next couple of years to a 5th wheel, so I want a capable tow vehicle. That's what I have in mind for this. -- nm - Fuzzy Oct 14, 18:16 4
      - I can ask on fuel mileage if you want to know. - spamlet (iPhone) Oct 14, 18:20 3
        
        I expect it will be painful, but I'd rather have as much info as possible. -- nm - Fuzzy Oct 14, 18:24 2
        
        Better than I thought. He says 17.5, mostly highway. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Oct 14, 18:28 1
        
        Good to know, thanks! -- nm - Fuzzy Oct 14, 18:38
