I may have to rewatch Die Hard 3 with a critical eye. Can it be that only the first Die Hard is great? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jul 10, 16:51 9

- No shame! 24 hrs is good. Go for 48 next time. -- nm - spamlet Jul 10, 16:18 1
  - It's true. I think going gradual is easiest on the body and the psyche. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 10, 16:21
- It won't change overnight. Keep the goal in sight and keep working for it. - TWuG Jul 10, 16:14
- marathon, not a sprint - charlie Jul 10, 16:13
- it's fine. we all fall. just get back on the wagon. 24 hours is a start, and nice work considering how much you drank before. - amanda Jul 10, 16:11 13
  - Somebody give me the Cliff's Notes on why *diet* soda is something to be avoided/cut down on? - con_carne Jul 10, 16:17 6

        ::copy paste:: it's association, not causation. further research needed. (not that limiting isn't advisable.) -- nm - b. Jul 10, 16:45
    - I just look at the ingredients and figure that's not something I want to put in my body. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 10, 16:18 2
      - (And I drink nothing but water, fwiw). -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 10, 16:19 1
        
        (which is car-reepy) -- nm - David Jul 10, 16:34
  - what amanda said. it's tough but you did 24 hours.. -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 16:13 5
    - It sounds so silly, though. "24 hrs without diet soda! Yay!" - kelly Jul 10, 16:26 4
      - Really you drank so much before that a whole day is admirable. It's like quitting smoking, really. It's really good. I'm proud of you. - Amanda Jul 10, 16:36 2
        
        yep. (and cold turkey is asking a lot. a lot a lot.) -- nm - b. Jul 10, 16:46

B2: David is correct, NCIS has not been good the last couple of four seasons. -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 15:53 25
- Will be interesting to see how they wrap her up and introduce a new character -- nm - Karl_S Jul 10, 16:13 2
  - Don't promote Dorney. Don't bring E.J. back. -- nm - TWuG Jul 10, 16:16 1
    - Yes, new-new plz. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 16:46
- We are making way too much of this. Maybe Ziva just got tired of having to shave -- nm - con_carne Jul 10, 16:07 2
  - HA! -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 16:14
  - *golf clap* -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 16:07
- I'll be happy to see Ziva's character arc resolved. My big issue with a lot of these shows is characters stay too long and get boring - TWuG Jul 10, 16:01
- This past season was the only one where I started thinking about canceling the season pass. - David Jul 10, 15:58
- i can't think of one CBS procedural, other than Person of Interest maybe, where all of the cast members wouldn't be interchangable - charlie Jul 10, 15:56 15
  - you couldn't swap out many of the characters or actors in Ncis. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 10, 16:02 3
    - NCIS:LA has proved this, right? ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 16:03 1
      - actually yes. -- nm - loosi at home Jul 10, 16:06
    - agreed, that's one reason why it's so popular. -- nm - loosi at home Jul 10, 16:02
  - I think the list on CBS at this point begins and ends with Mark Harmon -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 15:58 8
    - you could replace him with any 80s TV action dude and NCIS's ratings would barely flinch -- nm - charlie Jul 10, 16:00 1
      - "Allow me to introduce Special Agent T." -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 16:01
    - PoI would not be the same show without Finch and Reese. - Beryllium Jul 10, 15:59 5
      - I'm not ready to call PoI a procedural for them yet. - Will Hunting Jul 10, 16:00 3
        
        Just because he plays stiff as a board, doesn't mean they can replace him with a cardboard cutout. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 16:02 2
        
        I *love* Caviezel in that role. Love. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 10, 16:08 1
        
        Me too :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 16:08
      - ^-- what would happen in this case is the show would get canned, I think. But maybe the ratings are better than I think? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 15:59
  - Grissum when CSI started would likely be the other one -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 15:57 1
    - Yes, although ted danson has done well - Beryllium Jul 10, 15:58
- sorry, but you're wrong, and the last season was excellent for her. She was oustanding. -- nm - loosi at home Jul 10, 15:54
fvckers want to slowboat me?! - Beaker Jul 10, 15:53 1
- I had someone motorboat me! -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 15:55
