  - Conversely, I *am* looking forward to S3 of Disco because I want a trek series to do something new every once in a while. - Beryllium May 15, 09:35 3

        Ummmm..I don't think they're additive. "From March to April" so I think it is like the additional 50% from a previous 50% doesn't equal 100% - JD May 15, 08:52 2
        
        Hmm, you're probably right, and I'm wrong. I'd have to see the full numbers to figure out what they've calculated. -- nm - David May 15, 08:53 1

- Good sequence, but otherwise the Pointe Break remake was trash. -- nm - Spawn May 15, 08:11
- some people just need weird things to thrill them. -- nm - tRuMaN May 15, 08:10
