  - I was more impressed that B said Cruz would become president "over my dead body." That's newfound commitment. -- nm - Max Apr 29, 08:33
  - He was most annoyed at hearing the name Boehner. I doubt they ever saw eye-to-eye. -- nm - Robert Barontheon Apr 29, 08:26
  - I think the Lucifer thing sort of stung. - Mel Profit Apr 29, 08:25
  - He probably *knows* he is the second. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 08:19 1

  - I understand the intent, definitely. Just amused by the wording. :-) -- nm - TWuG Apr 29, 08:15
  - I totally understand the point of that...but what does it actually mean? That if a 25 year old comes down with a 26 year old, they're good? -- nm - Jim Apr 29, 08:07 2
    - Looks that way. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 29, 08:09
    - its the LAW! - Pippy Apr 29, 08:09
  - Yup -- nm - David Apr 29, 08:07
Hey groiny, it is official. Netflix has ordered a Punisher series. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 07:54 68
- Just curious - at what point will the market start to get over saturated with this stuff? -- nm - Jim Apr 29, 07:57 66
  - Once they are no longer able to tell a compelling story in that universe. - znufrii Apr 29, 08:32
  - 2008 -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 29, 08:25
  - With the Marvel TV stuff, there's really never more than one show going on at a time... - Ender Apr 29, 08:09 25
    - It will be interesting when Netflix really gets going. Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Daredevil, Punisher, Defenders. - Spawn Apr 29, 08:11 24
      - This right here is what I'm talking about. Will average entertainment consumer be willing and able to continue to participate in all of that? - Jim Apr 29, 08:16 21
        
        as long as people are watching in epic numbers, it will keep going. - groiny Apr 29, 08:25 10
        
        Let me fix that statement: "there really has not been a "flop" Marvel super hero movie in quite some time." -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 08:26 6
        
        you can debate incorrectly as much as you want, but Man of Steel and BvS were not flops. -- nm - groiny Apr 29, 08:28 5
        
        Let me fix my own statement: "there really has not been a "flop" Marvel Studios movie in quite some time." - Spawn Apr 29, 08:30 4
        
        I guess the newest FF movie was a flop, but thay had little to do with Marvel. -- nm - groiny Apr 29, 08:31 3
        
        Agreed. - Spawn Apr 29, 08:32 2
        
        I actually wiped that movie from my memory. Even the Spider Man movies, I could sit through. - groiny Apr 29, 08:34 1
        
        Since you liked Man of Steel, you will love Fantastic Four. -- nm - Netflix Suggestions Apr 29, 08:36
        
        Oh, of course. But that's my question. Are they in danger of releasing so much material that average joe viewer stops watching? - Jim Apr 29, 08:26 2
        
        until they make a bad one, it is going to keep going. - groiny Apr 29, 08:27
        
        No. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 08:27
        
        It's like bulk carrying other scifi shows like Doctor Who or Firefly. It's about niche audiences that binge watch. -- nm - Mop Apr 29, 08:23
        
        because the typical Netflix users binge watches they will have it all watched in a weekend. I don't think it's an issue at all -- nm - Remlik Apr 29, 08:19 7
        
        I wish I had a weekend I could spend binge watching anything. Hell, it took Carrie and I almost 2 weeks to "binge watch" the 5 Mission Impossibles. -- nm - Jim Apr 29, 08:21 6
        
        Actually, you hit it there. Binge watching does not work as well if you are forced to sync with another person. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 08:24 3
        
        Ya know...that's what I thought too...but Carrie travels and I find that I actually watch less TV when she's gone than when she's home. - Jim Apr 29, 08:31 2
        
        Priorities!!! - Spawn Apr 29, 08:35
        
        it is not a lie to admit that my binge watching severely impacts my house projects. -- nm - groiny Apr 29, 08:33
        
        You must be old. I stay up *late* and knock out the new season over the three nights of the weekend. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 08:23
        
        Well there you go. 10 hours of property in two weeks. -- nm - Remlik Apr 29, 08:22
        
        Especially if they continue to be handled one-at-a-time I see no reason they wouldn't as long as quality is maintained. - Spawn Apr 29, 08:18
      - Even then I doubt the gaps will get all that small. They seem to be taking these things one after the other, not working on them in parallel. -- nm - Ender Apr 29, 08:15 1
        
        So far. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 08:16
  - Once the Infinity War finishes I'll probably start to lose interesting. - Mel Profit Apr 29, 08:02 12
    - I'm kinda with you here and I have NO interest in all the TV stuff. They lost me after 3 episodes of AoS... - Jim Apr 29, 08:03 11
      - I love the comic book movies, and I can't get into AofS. -- nm - groiny Apr 29, 08:26
      - that's a shame. AOS is terrifc. -- nm - Remlik Apr 29, 08:18 9
        
        Everyone says it is, but it did nothing to stand out to me and I only have so much time for TV. We have seriously scaled back our shows. - Jim Apr 29, 08:20 4
        
        Well it's a good thing it's on Netflix where you can binge watch them. The 1st half of season 1 is standard tv, it REALLY kicked in when - Remlik Apr 29, 08:21
        
        It didn't start great. But it really is fabulous now. - Dark Callisto Apr 29, 08:21 2
        
        Yeah, it has been STELLAR. This season has been soooo good (spoils for current storyline) - TWuG Apr 29, 08:27
        
        ^that's why she's the smart one of that marriage. -- nm - Remlik Apr 29, 08:22
        
        I watched the latest last night. I was shocked by the end result. spoil - Spawn Apr 29, 08:19 3
        
        I haven't watched it yet. -- nm - Remlik Apr 29, 08:20 2
        
        This is why you fail. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 08:25 1
        
        no time! prepping for FCBD, INdiana Comic Con, Destiny and watching a few other shows -- nm - Remlik Apr 29, 08:34
  - When was the market over saturated with cop shows and comedies? -- nm - Remlik Apr 29, 08:00
  - have you watched any of the Netflix stuff? -- nm - groiny Apr 29, 08:00 11
    - nope - and I just said it above - there's too much. Just don't have the time for it. -- nm - Jim Apr 29, 08:04 10
      - it is apples and oranges really. - groiny Apr 29, 08:23
      - Um. You might want to consider making time for the Netflix stuff. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 08:05 8
        
        Honestly - if there was a such thing as less than zero interest, that's what I would have for the Netflix stuff. Hell, I subscribed to Hulu - Jim Apr 29, 08:07 7
        
        We all have priorities, and they may seem odd to other people. I am amazed people like Survivor. For me, it is the most boring thing out there. - Spawn Apr 29, 08:10 6
        
        Survivor is 1 show. If they started releasing more Survivors - it would over-saturate itself. - Jim Apr 29, 08:15 5
        
        Sure, Survivor may be the Avengers of reality tv shows, but it is still a piece of it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 08:16 4
        
        And for my part - Survivor and Face Off are the only reality shows I still watch. It became over-saturated and I bailed on many a show. -- (edited) - Jim Apr 29, 08:18 3
        
        what did you think of the most recent FaceOff finale? spoils - Diva Apr 29, 08:33 1
        
        I really felt all season (spoils) - Jim Apr 29, 08:36
        
        A movie is far different than watching an hour of television per week for an entire season. - Spawn Apr 29, 08:32
  - I feel like it already has -- nm - decline Apr 29, 07:58 11
    - as long as it is done well (Deadpool) I hope if overshadows the shit (BvS) -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 07:59
    - Maybe. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 07:58
    - See? I kinda do too...but the shit keeps coming. -- nm - Jim Apr 29, 07:58 8

      - says the guy who religiously watches Survivor...... - groiny Apr 29, 07:59 5
        
        Dude, it's 1 show. and has nothing to do with anything. nm -- nm - Jim Apr 29, 08:01 4
        
        it is reality TV, and there are plenty of reality shows still on. -- nm - groiny Apr 29, 08:01 3
        
        True - but there are a ton of reality shows that have failed, are failing or are on life support. Which kinda supports what I'm saying... - Jim Apr 29, 08:02 1
        
        So, if it is good, it is good? - Spawn Apr 29, 08:08

- Meh. Air Canada charges for guaranteed seat assignments. Period. That's it. They paid for themselves but refused to pay for their child. - Mop Apr 29, 08:22
- I think the other passengers are already paying for the privilege of not being seated next to an unrelated two year old, so Air Canada should ... - Beryllium Apr 29, 07:41 1
