The SGN news is stunning. It’ll be SGN in name only, but CBS All Access is padding their line-up for a rebranding this summer. - Mop May 21, 20:57
The Invisible Man gets a B/B+.....pretty effective, really nice job by Moss. It needed some tightening in a few spots but it had a good level of - prayformojo May 21, 20:46
Of what I've seen of Stumptown (maybe 6-8 episodes in?) I feel like they should have cast the male lead as someone other than guy from The New Girl -- nm* - ty97 May 21, 20:41 10
- I think he's ok. I can't stand the cop character. - zunkskunk May 21, 20:57 3
  - They didn’t make him for you. Lol - Epiphany May 21, 21:31
  - Agreed -- nm - Ender May 21, 21:13
  - Try almost human, he's a cop there too. Should help you decide if it's the actor that is rubbing you wrong. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:07
- You mean the guy from Almost Human? Or the other guy? -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 20:42 5
  - This guy -- (link) - ty97 May 21, 20:43 4
    - Wait, it’s a comedy? -- nm - Mop May 21, 21:06 2
      - It's hard to pin down the exact genre, but I think crime-comedy is close. Leaning more toward crime than comedy. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:10 1
        
        (If you meant New Girl, then just ignore me ... IMDb says Stumptown is Crime-Drama.) -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:10
    - Ah. I never watched new girl, so he's new to me via Stumptown, but he has a face that looks like a couple other actors. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 20:51
I've found myself considering flying down to visit may parents this summer. - ty97 May 21, 20:37 10
- Planes seem like a bad idea -- nm - Krusty May 21, 20:56 6
  - I'd wear a mask! - ty97 May 21, 20:56 5
    - Amtrak is likely to be less crowded but it's the shared air I have an issue with. - Krusty May 21, 21:05 4
      - I could get a roomette and avoid others -- nm - ty97 May 21, 21:12 3
        
        I was looking at those. Seems roomettes have gotten really pricey. I need to go to K.C. before too long. -- nm - Meg May 21, 21:17 2
        
        I've never done long distance Amtrak and figure I'd like to try it once. Maybe now is the right time. - ty97 May 21, 21:26 1
        
        I've taken the Coast Starlight to Portland and the Southwest Chief to Kansas City (Twice). Loved them both. -- nm - Meg May 21, 21:39
- Do you have points or would you pay for a ticket? -- nm - David May 21, 20:47 2
  - I'd just pay for it, but change fee is waived (if I book by May 31) if I decide to wait until later. - ty97 May 21, 20:48 1
    - (I have miles, I just don't tend to use them for domestic flight redemptions) -- nm - ty97 May 21, 20:49
Here is the Texas Medical Center’s COVID site. It’s fascinating to use as just one more data point. -- (link) - Qale May 21, 19:58 4
- wow, you are already 18 days into reopening? I did not realize. - ty97 May 21, 20:00 3
  - Phase one was nothing. Phase two starts tomorrow. It’s the 50% restaurants, 25% bars/clubs, 25% gyms... etc etc. -- nm - Qale May 21, 20:01 2
    - oh, what was phase 1? - ty97 May 21, 20:02 1

(I don't know what to make of this) Using cellphone data, national study predicts huge June spike in Houston coronavirus cases - ty97 May 21, 19:49 5
- Full story. But you don’t need it really. People are going out. They aren’t doing what they’re supposed to. - Qale May 21, 19:54 4
  - I'll be interested in seeing if this comes to fruition (I hope it does not) -- nm - ty97 May 21, 19:56 3
    - I see no way it will not. Also “All the trends are going good in Texas” Can we have at least one politician with good grammar? Please? -- nm - Qale May 21, 19:56 2
      - I don't know nuthin about how this stuff works, but the major spikes don't seem to be happening (yet) with reopenings so maybe they won't? -- nm - ty97 May 21, 19:58 1
        
        I think they're focused on the wrong thing, probably on purpose. - mafic May 21, 20:44
I never watched Parks and Rec so I’m starting from Season 2. Leslie is nervous about dating Louis CK and not for the reason you think. -- nm - Roger More May 21, 19:20 5
- He was really good on that. It's so sad he turned out to be such a shitbag. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 19:25 4
  - Also, Aziz Ansari got arrested and everyone assumed it was because he’s a pervert. -- nm* - Roger More May 21, 19:54 2
    - When was he arrested? -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 20:08 1
      - He was staking out the pit with Leslie and got locked out of his van, was seen by Ann breaking in, and she called the cops -- nm - Roger More May 21, 20:33
  - She liked him enough in real life to have his kid. - Will Hunting May 21, 19:36
Tuesday a nursing home patient wanted a in person visit with me and another md. No showed to appt - James Bond (aka Igor) May 21, 19:04 1

I just saw Ars Technica’s on Alan Wake. Now I wish I could play it. Oh, what’s this, Xbox Game Pass? Alan Wake is now included, effective today? OK. -- nm - Mop May 21, 18:44 2
- OK, Alan Wake episode 1 done. I may be playing this game wrong. The moment they gave me a gun, I was running and gunning. -- nm - Mop May 21, 20:48
- Yeah I saw that was coming.. Alan Wake, RDR2 on xbone, The Last of Us, Spider Man on ps4, and 5 seasons left of Game of Thrones. - JaxSean May 21, 18:50

        there must be weird shit in that gene combination. I have a friend whos also red/blue. she has no immune system, semi-regular tumors, & more problems -- nm - Peglegpete May 21, 18:29 3
        
        it's called being recessive. We get every single bad gene. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 18:30 2
        
        she has a small blonde streak, but it's on the back of her head and the rest of her hair covers it. her siblings are like yours br/br. etc. -- nm - Peglegpete May 21, 18:37 1
