I have to say, I haven't been impressed with the Galaxy S4 and S5. If I had to get a new phone right now, I'd get a HTC One M8. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Apr 2, 10:32 9

not so much spoilery observation from last night's Person of Interest . . . - i'm not dead yet ! Apr 2, 09:55 2
- His name is Batmanuel. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 2, 10:02 1
  - That character will follow that actor (Nestor Carbonell) everywhere, in my mind. Glorious fun. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 2, 10:10
"In ‘Game of Thrones’ there’s only one true battle: The readers vs. watchers" There has been an unspoken peace between the two groups. Is that.... - prayformojo Apr 2, 09:52 19

  - [deleted] 3
    - well, GRRM has given them his complete outline for the series from what I understand - decline Apr 2, 10:27
    - If Season 4 only touches upon elements of Book 3 and Book 4 (as is rumoured), there's little chance the remainder of books can be captured in... - Name Withheld By Request Apr 2, 10:24
    - books 4 and 5 could be done in two seasons easy. 3 at the very max if they are desperate for episodes -- nm - Beaker Apr 2, 10:15
- They are way behind the books and only got through half of book 3 last season. -- nm - GregW Apr 2, 10:08 3
  - not really that far behind. Word is this season will cover through book 4 - and incorporate a few elements from 5 as well - decline Apr 2, 10:29 2
    - Thsi season only finishes Book 3. -- nm - volnelk Apr 2, 10:30 1
      - I stand corrected "Season 4 will be mostly based on the second half of A Storm of Swords, the third book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series - decline Apr 2, 10:33
- They'll probably slow down the pace the show comes out in...so, maybe every 1.5 years is a new season. -- nm - Flavorize Apr 2, 10:04
- [deleted] 4
  - absolutely -- nm - decline Apr 2, 10:24
  - (spoils for the upcoming season) - Roger More Apr 2, 10:21
  - cannot.wait (spoils) - Jovian Apr 2, 10:11

- I don't think the linked piece has spoilers for either show or book, but proceed at your own peril -- nm - prayformojo Apr 2, 09:53

The Posts' map of the race/income divide pertaining to the DC democratic primary is pretty telling -- (link) - prayformojo Apr 2, 09:47 7
- Why the mass turn against Gray? -- nm - ty97 Apr 2, 09:56 5
  - He's been entirely uneffective, and he's been under corruption charges the entire time he's been in office -- nm - prayformojo Apr 2, 09:59 3
    - So it's the ineffective part that did him in. -- nm - ty97 Apr 2, 10:00
    - If you think Gray has been in-effective you are not living in the correct city. Corrupt yes, but has he made the city better? Without question. -- nm - MDH Apr 2, 10:00 1
      - Granted, Fenty laid all of the groundwork. -- nm - MDH Apr 2, 10:00
  - He's going to be indicted any day now. DC has made such progress the residents didn't want another scandal. Problem is, Bowser is terrible. - MDH Apr 2, 09:59
- Her going against the Independent, white, gay, former Republican in the general is going to be interesting. -- nm - MDH Apr 2, 09:51

Photobombing can stop already -- nm - prayformojo Apr 2, 09:32
Ill say this, SHIELD turned into a much better show than what The Blacklist turned into - Jovian Apr 2, 09:30 21
- The Blacklist turned into a procedural. Law & Order: Blacklist. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Apr 2, 10:28
- Can anybody spoil me on The Blacklist events post CHristmas? We gave up on it, but I'm curious... -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 2, 10:26 2
  - spoils (from what I remember) - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 2, 10:55
  - nomnomnomnomnom chewing scenery and overshadowing the rest of the cast - spoilers - Spader Apr 2, 10:38
- We changed suppliers and no longer have access to the channel showing Blacklist (or Elementary), not too upset about it. - LMS Apr 2, 09:47 3
  - I quite like Elementary, perhaps more than I like SHIELD (And I like that quite a lot) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 2, 09:48 2
    - Just got to train job episode of Shield, don't know what they gave to the writers but they should keep giving it. -- nm - LMS Apr 2, 09:52
    - I dont like Lucy Liu on that show - eag Apr 2, 09:51
- Good point. That was high on the list but now I just catch up from time-to-time. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 2, 09:33 12
  - me too. it was must watch tv. now I can barely keep paying attention - Jovian Apr 2, 09:36 11
    - Yeah, even with recent reveals, still not keeping me engaged. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 2, 09:39 1
      - I like how not only have we accepted how soapy TV has become, we are now demanding Demanding! twists to keep us engaged -- nm - con_carne Apr 2, 09:53
    - This is basically me too. I'm dropping shows left and right since they've gotten so bad. -- nm - MDH Apr 2, 09:38 8
      - The Following? -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 2, 09:39 7
        
        Yeah, that. Blacklist I still watch, but while doing other things and all. -- nm - MDH Apr 2, 09:49 6
        
        I'm finding myself hesitating to dig into shows with a "mystery" or sort of single ongoing story anymore because (a) I'm afraid it will get cancelled - pmb Apr 2, 10:00 5
        
        The best is when the show tells you what hashtag to use as a twist is happening -- nm - con_carne Apr 2, 10:19
        
        the same. It was why I didn't watch Sleepy Hollow -- nm - Beaker Apr 2, 10:17 3
        
        Catch up durring the summer - eag Apr 2, 10:19

        Totally worth the investment (no spoilers) - Mel Profit Apr 2, 10:23
*laughing* Someone created a test patient with the name of... - Mel Profit Apr 2, 09:30 1
- oh, you didn't know? -- nm - groiny Apr 2, 09:31
So Fire TV is essentially for those of you who don't have a Roku 3 yet. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 2, 09:29 6
- Or for those with Comcast. Chromecast gets me more than Roku does right now. -- nm - Inigo Apr 2, 09:33 4
  - Like what? - JaxSean Apr 2, 09:56 3
    - Showtime, too. -- nm - Inigo Apr 2, 10:19 2
      - Roku 3 has the Showtime app now (if you have Showtime). -- nm - JaxSean Apr 2, 10:38
      - Plus being able to play anything from Chrome. -- nm - Inigo Apr 2, 10:20
- (Also, they realize FyreTV.com is a completely separate streaming service, don't they?) - JaxSean Apr 2, 09:31
JD - I suppose it was inevitable after the Citizens United decision - Guy Apr 2, 09:27 18

  - I can't speak for "The GOP" but here in red-state Georgia I am happy with our new on-line voting registration enacted by a Republican SoS. - Strongbad Apr 2, 10:39
  - *subscribes to your newsletter* You're so right and it's awful how far we've fallen. - Krusty Apr 2, 10:21 4
    - We tried your IM already, didn't we? -- nm - znufrii Apr 2, 10:25 3
      - Not even close to what happened in those countries. I'm talking about 100k or more. - Krusty Apr 2, 10:31 2
        
        Well, that's the "didn't work" part of "We tried it and it didn't work." -- nm - mara Apr 2, 10:34 1
        
        It was poorly done. I think it can work if enough people are involved and it's somehow organized. -- nm - Krusty Apr 2, 10:36
  - The Road to Oligarchy -- nm - mara Apr 2, 09:50 3
    - Forgot the link. -- (link) - mara Apr 2, 09:51 2

        agreed. - Mel Profit Apr 2, 10:43
  - Hey JackDawson - con_carne Apr 2, 09:47 5

- Meanwhile, we go around wondering why millenials don't want to participate in the corrupt systems we're handing down to them -- nm - con_carne Apr 2, 09:31
just checked the facebook page discussion - here it is linked and it was Groiny- not Truman who suggested Palomino :) - JenBro Apr 2, 09:25 12
- they have free transportation! -- nm - groiny Apr 2, 09:31 10
  - LOLOLOL ... I remembered seeing this - just not exactly what was said - but I remembered being surprised it involved Tru - I should have known it was - JenBro Apr 2, 09:35 8
    - In my experience it is difficult to schedule when to go to a strip club, and impossible to schedule a time to leave. - Spawn Lord Apr 2, 09:41 7
      - IIRC last time we just went on the fly after a Quarks marathon. seemed okay without planning ahead. -- nm - Diva Apr 2, 09:49 3
        
        yeah, look at this.... - groiny Apr 2, 09:51 2
        
        do they bring you back to the Strip too? that was a bit of a hangup last time. -- nm - Diva Apr 2, 10:02 1
        
        I doubt it. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 2, 10:04
      - not that the Palomino is all that, but I do not recall it being overly expensive. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 2, 09:45 1
        
        (Just watch where you put the decimal points on your credit slip....) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 2, 09:55
      - Exactly. The girl of ST's dreams could randomly be on that night, and then it's lapdances for everyone - con_carne Apr 2, 09:44
  - They should do lap dances on the way there. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 2, 09:34
- CAMERA! *sigh* -- nm - JaxSean Apr 2, 09:26
Flixster is crap, Kilbo. -- nm - David Apr 2, 09:24 5
- I thought you were referring to access to UV content on the Amazon device -- nm - oblique Apr 2, 10:35
- [deleted]
- Amazon paid you in stock to say this didn't they! - Pippy Apr 2, 09:25 2
  - Amazon is crap -- nm - Canada Apr 2, 09:59

  - To be fair, that, for once, is a Twitter wallpaper that doesn't make me want to scoop my eyes out with a toilet flush handle -- nm - con_carne Apr 2, 09:25 2
    - My monitor's too wide for it, but what I do see seems good -- nm - Beryllium Apr 2, 09:50 1
      - Did you just say i have a small penis? -- nm - con_carne Apr 2, 10:12
