- Good choice -- nm - prayformojo Sep 2, 11:12
- Hodor? -- nm - Darth Hodor si Sep 2, 11:12
- They should just straight up bring Hodor across, just to fuck with people. -- nm - Reagen Sep 2, 11:12 4
  - If there isn't a 1 page Hodor POV chapter in the next book, GRRM should be ashamed. -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 11:15
  - [deleted]
  - It wouldn't even be that big of a stretch. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 11:13

Well, there's something to be said for thoroughness. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 2, 11:04
Face Off fans: If you aren't watching this season, you need to see tonight's episode. Glenn, Ve and Neville compete! - TWuG Sep 2, 11:03 6
- I was surprised when they announced it as it was so out of the blue. I love the idea. I dig this season as well. No one is standing out, yet... - Mel Profit Sep 2, 11:11 2
  - Yep. Having a hard time picking a favorite. But Deena is high on my list - TWuG Sep 2, 11:13 1
    - yeah - Dina. she's good. -- nm - Diva Sep 2, 11:16

- That will get me to watch. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 11:05
- that will be fun -- nm - prayformojo Sep 2, 11:04
But seriously, what are people paying for at the Board of Elections? -- nm - ty97 Sep 2, 11:03
Sweet. I had a CT scan yesterday, and had to pick up the results to deliver to an outside doctor. Got the CD this afternoon. I've never seen CT scan - prayformojo Sep 2, 11:01 2
- Hope everything is (or will be) okay. -- nm - kelly Sep 2, 11:04 1
  - Nothing major - prayformojo Sep 2, 11:08
I would be annoyed that there was that much GotG talk while I was at lunch but it looks like David got slapped around sufficiently. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 10:55 8
- I was not slapped. Words and opinions were exchanged, no more; if I had been slapped, the conversation would have ended. -- nm - David the Destroyer si Sep 2, 10:56 7
  - Until I break into a dance off. - Spawn Sep 2, 11:02 6
    - ... - David Sep 2, 11:04 5
      - This would have been funny if it was David Bowie - amoxy Sep 2, 11:09
      - Think about it like this .. - Beryllium Sep 2, 11:07 2
        
        David's right, that is just about the weakest part of the film. If the rest hadn't been AWESOME!, I'd have really hated things at about - TWuG Sep 2, 11:10 1
        
        I think we're pretty much all on the same page there, I'm just trying to cushion it. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 11:11
      - My only problem with it (spoil) - Spawn Sep 2, 11:06
[deleted] 1
- Based on maturity, you'd never have guessed. -- nm - volnelk Sep 2, 11:03

I'm going to keep watching Outlander on Starz, but so far I'm disappointed by the s-l-o-w pacing. - Diva Sep 2, 10:44 5

  - yonh. -- nm - Diva Sep 2, 11:13
- Amy raves about this series -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 10:49 2

  - well, anything is better than talking to Spawn. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 10:50
tertiary poll: Is there any way a reboot tv series of The Love Boat could work? How? -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:42 27
- A reboot? Or a reboot of the reboot? -- nm - Roger More Sep 2, 10:50
- Das Traumschiff still runs in german TV -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Sep 2, 10:49 2
  - "debuted in 1981 and became one of the most-watched television shows in Germany. A total of 69 episodes have been produced as of 2013." -- nm - I'm thinking Germans don't watch a lot of tv Sep 2, 10:51 1
    - they make a few every year expensive TV for them - DaneDukeNuuk Sep 2, 10:53
- Lifetime -- nm - ty97 Sep 2, 10:47 2
  - shh! They'd actually do it! -- nm - Diva Sep 2, 10:48 1
    - oh, now I could see it in the vein of Revenge and Royal Pains. -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:49
- Reality Show -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 10:45 11
  - Fake reality show, like The Hills. -- nm - Was Bar Was Sep 2, 10:52
  - Naked Love Boat -- nm - prayformojo Sep 2, 10:48
  - below deck!!!! -- nm - peggy ann m Sep 2, 10:47 1
    - Gopher has a whole new meaning. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 10:48
  - that would be like Temptation Island on a boat. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 10:46 6
    - Essentially. Castoff gets thrown overboard. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 10:46 5
      - ooh, Overboard the tv series. "It's like Catfish meets Wife Swap." -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:48 4
        
        Cracked should do a list of "Movies Positioned as Light Comedies That Would Actually Be Horrifying Crimes" - Reagen Sep 2, 11:02 3
        
        Oh hey, they actually did! -- (link) - Roger More Sep 2, 11:11
        
        I was tempted to say Mrs Doubtfire, but then I remembered that they kind of dealt with that aspect within the movie. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 11:11
        
        Weekend at Bernie's -- nm - Roger More Sep 2, 11:04
- I think when it was just 3 networks it made it a lot easier. - TWuG Sep 2, 10:45 3
  - and didn't they try it in the 90s with "the next wave"? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:47 2
    - They did. - TWuG Sep 2, 10:51 1
      - ... I would watch that. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:52
- Cinemax After Dark -- nm - David Sep 2, 10:44
- I don't think so, but Fantasy Island would be awesome. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 10:44 2
  - They rebooted it once. I liked it. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:44 1

A creative naming challenge for those that are inclined to have a sense of creativity and humor - Capstern Sep 2, 10:39 8

- Game 1: Terror in the Trees. Game 2: Must Have Brains! -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 10:42 6

    - Critter Escape! Fear the Furries! Forest of Fear! -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 10:47 4
      - Horra and Fauna. :-P -- nm - Was Bar Was Sep 2, 10:49 3
        
        Horror Forest might work except if people say it wrong :) -- nm - Capstern Sep 2, 10:53
        
        LOL might be a little deep for some gamers LOL -- nm - Capstern Sep 2, 10:50
        
        LOL might be a little deep for some gamers LOL\ -- nm - Capstern Sep 2, 10:50
Speaking of past tv, if someone gifted you a [box set] of: Charlies Angels, or Remington Steele, or Love Boat, or 8 is Enough - would you watch them? -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:39 43
- No. Some shows yes, though. I have grabbed a few episodes of Mork and Mindy since they are being reaired. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 11:04
- I'd probably watch only RS, but would definitely watch Magnum PI. -- nm - Roger More Sep 2, 10:54 3
  - what about the rockford files? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:55 2
    - I am the ty97 of 70s/80s TV. In the Tasmania of yore, there were two TV channels, one in the north of the state and one in the south, and they didn't - Roger More Sep 2, 11:03 1
      - Ironically, one of the shows I watched in the 90s was called Taz-Mania. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 11:05
- No, but I would watch Six Million Dollar Man. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Sep 2, 10:47 9
  - There are a bunch on youtube and the show....isn't quite what I remembered. -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 10:50 8
    - That's because the average episode is 12 minutes of plot padded out with slo mo. -- nm - Reagen Sep 2, 11:10
    - Bionic Bigfoot was awesome! "Your arm is off!" "RRARRRRR!*" - TWuG Sep 2, 10:55 4
      - yeah that's solid, but man the 20 minutes before all that...ddddrrrrraaaaggggssssss -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 10:56
      - agreed. Bionic Bigfoot scared the heck out of me. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 2, 10:56 2
        
        The tunnel thingee he walked through terrified and fascinated me. - TWuG Sep 2, 10:57 1
        
        As I have said, when I was 10 or 11 we went to the Universal Studios tour and the tram drove through it. Awesome. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 11:08
    - intersting. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Sep 2, 10:50 1
      - Bionic Woman is even worse. -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 10:55
- RS and return the others for Hardcastle and McCormick :) -- nm - Capstern Sep 2, 10:46
- Nope -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 10:46
- You listed Magnum PI in there so...sure. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 2, 10:44 12
  - Yes, I would watch MPI. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:53
  - I think MPI has the strongest draw for me to go back and review the series. It probably has the most backstory. -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:47 10
    - It's one of the first series I remember with serialized content. Episodes stood on their own but there was mythology. - Mel Profit Sep 2, 10:49 9
      - Higgins: Robin Masters or not? - TWuG Sep 2, 10:52 6
        
        After the 1st or second season I agree with the IM... - Remlik Sep 2, 10:55 1
        
        Your IM is probably right. - TWuG Sep 2, 10:59
        
        Totally Yes. - Mel Profit Sep 2, 10:54
        
        I think they revealed that he is - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:54 2
        
        He did say he was...until... - Remlik Sep 2, 10:58 1
        
        The admission, though, was made under threat of impending death, so I tend to believe that was the truth. -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 11:00
      - it's dated....but it's so good that it still holds up -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 10:51 1
        
        one network shows reruns and I catch one here and there. It feels dated in that it's clearly from the 80s but it's held up so far. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 2, 10:53
- RS maybe -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 10:44
- Yes, Hell Yes, No, No. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:44
- maybe Remington -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 10:43
- nooooope. -- nm - colin Sep 2, 10:43
- [deleted]
- no. -- nm - Diva Sep 2, 10:41
- Maybe Remington Steele. - amoxy Sep 2, 10:40
- Remingston Steele if it holds up, sure. -- nm - David Sep 2, 10:40 2
  - I'm thinking RS doesn't hold up, but the mind goes into a state of allowance for era/quality. -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:42 1
    - Yep. Lots of shows I grew up with are objectively awful. But I grew up with them so they are great. -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 10:43
- Yes, I would watch Charlie's Angels, Remington Steele and Love Boat. I'd pass on 8 is Enough. -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 10:40
- RS, yes. The others, likely not. -- nm - Reagen Sep 2, 10:40
- doubt it. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 10:39
Started listening to Night vale with my daughter. Very clever, quirky, hilarious but morbid stuff. -- nm - Inigo Sep 2, 10:39 1
- Night Vale -- nm - Inigo Sep 2, 10:39
[deleted] 2
- Giants, Packers, Falcons, Seahawks - David Sep 2, 10:44
- Damn, same as your IM. Eagles, Packers, Saints, Seahawks -- nm - amoxy Sep 2, 10:39
I do love the comparison I saw that says Drax is Autistic. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 10:36 2
- this tweet? -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:37 1
  - yeah, that one - groiny Sep 2, 10:38
Amazingly, this movie is not a 0% at RT. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 2, 10:35 6
- doea it feature KISS fighting The Village People in the climax? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 2, 10:39
- it was dumb, but really not the worst thing ever. i've seen much worse. -- nm - colin Sep 2, 10:37 2
  - Sure but RT is a binary rating system. I'm pretty sure you would not give the thumbs up here. -- nm - Shaun Sep 2, 10:38 1
    - eh true. the fan side is at 40% -- nm - colin Sep 2, 10:40
- dude, some crazy bastard loves the Blair Witch Project 2 out there too. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 10:36 1
  - Even I haven't seen that one. -- nm - Shaun Sep 2, 10:38
radio news said WMATA reported fewer metro riders this morning than last Tuesday. People must still be on vacation. -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:35 1
- I just came from Union Station. I haven't been to the non-train part since the movie. theater. closee -- nm - prayformojo Sep 2, 10:41
Thing I just learned about the later seasons of Frasier: Maris killed a guy. - David Sep 2, 10:35 5
- I wonder if there are more episodes of Frasier or ER that I didn't watch. -- nm - Reagen Sep 2, 10:37 4
  - In scanning the list, I made it until about season 6 of Frasier. It lasted 11. - David Sep 2, 10:40
  - I missed a lot of the later years of both. Especially ER. -- nm - Diva Sep 2, 10:37
  - "What did that guy do to piss off helicopters?" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:37 1
    - That seemed like absurdly lazy writing to me. -- nm - ty97 Sep 2, 10:49
jesus, Cee Lo. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Sep 2, 10:35 4
- [deleted] 3
  - coming from a public figure, saying rapey things is what is potentially more damaging, imho. - znufrii Sep 2, 10:45 1
    - Nah - I think they'd find some other complete bollocks justification to do what they want to do. -- nm - Roger More Sep 2, 10:53
  - and likely part T Rex - groiny Sep 2, 10:40
And so the conversation turned. -- nm - Was Bar Was Sep 2, 10:34 3
- Until the sun went down. -- nm - David Sep 2, 10:34 1
  - It was a dark time. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:35
- And many fantasies were learned. -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 10:34
