Also, for whatever reason, the new Wheel of Time trailer just isn’t doing it for me. I liked the teaser a lot better. -- nm* - znufrii Oct 29, 08:32 13
- I'll likely watch it, though not in "I HAVE TO BINGE IT IMMEDIATELY ONCE IT'S AVAILABLE!!!" way. I enjoyed the early books but... - Trick or Todd Oct 29, 08:50
- I found it comical that they put out a VR trailer that was just the trailer surrounded by 3D atmospheric imagery. - Mop Oct 29, 08:44
- blasphemer! -- nm - decline Oct 29, 08:38 1
  - Don’t get me wrong, I’m still watching on day one. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 08:41
- Too much Rosamund Pike or the fishbowl style trailer a turn off? -- nm - flavorize Oct 29, 08:35 8
  - And yeah, the 360 trailer thing was weird. They have a normal version up now. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 08:39
  - Probably just that, as a fan of the books, the trailer was more exhibition-heavy than I need. -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 29, 08:38 6
    - What are you, an anti-exhibitionist? -- nm - con_carne Oct 29, 08:54
    - yeah, 30 years is a long time - decline Oct 29, 08:47 1
      - I’m tempted, but I know any differences between the two are probably going to bug me. - znufrii Oct 29, 08:56
    - I keep thinking I might read the first (and only the first) book. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 29, 08:43 2
      - they're really, really good -- nm* - decline Oct 29, 08:46 1
        
        The reputation for glacial pacing has always kept me away. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 29, 08:50
Apparently I’m working too hard, because I now have an app on my work computer prompting me to take a break every two hours. -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 29, 08:25 7
- But that's a good thing. -- nm - Qale Oct 29, 08:56
- I have an alarm on my laptop that goes off every hour to get up and walk or do pushups. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 08:35 1
  - Yeah, but that is to power the thing. - Spawn Oct 29, 09:07
- Yeah, mine lasted half a day. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:32 3
  - (the ap, not the break) -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:32 2

  - Damn it all. I dropped him for one week to cover bye week needs and this happens. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 29, 08:34
I wonder what crawled up into Roblox and died? Their outage is like 14+ hours now. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 08:14 1
- That explains why my kids were playing Minecraft last night. -- nm - Mop Oct 29, 09:44
The five shows were: Umbrella Academy, You, The Crown, Tiger King (twice) and Ozark (three times). -- (link) - Inigo Oct 29, 08:13 22
- no Stranger Things kinda shocks me -- nm - Beaker Oct 29, 09:31
- Haven't watched an episode of any of them. -- nm - MDH Oct 29, 08:23 20
  - UA was kinda fun. Ozark was a chore, I gave up after S1. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 29, 08:44 5
    - Ozark to me is the opposite of a chore, if I can describe something so riveting as that. -- nm - mud Oct 29, 08:58 4
      - 100% When every episode ends, I feel drained, but I love the show. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 29, 09:00 3
        
        I'm already always running on empty. I need shows that charge me up, not drain me. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 09:01 2
        
        it does the opposite of drain me, it's exhilarating. -- nm - mud Oct 29, 09:16 1
        
        As much as I like the show (spoils) - Inigo Oct 29, 09:58
  - Crown is excellent. Umbrella is fantastic. I watched Tiger King it was trash but interesting -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 08:37
  - Tiger King was fun to watch during the pandemic. Ozark I couldn't get into, it was a bit much for me. Umbrella Academy I watched one episode of and - Krusty Oct 29, 08:36 1
    - Umbrella was a little slow for me. It gets much better -- nm - colin Oct 29, 08:45
  - The Umbrella Academy is my fave of them. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:30 1
    - Same. Ozark was good, but too dark for me. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 08:31
  - slacker -- nm - decline Oct 29, 08:29
  - The Crown is really well done. Tiger King is wayyyy past its expiration date. Didn't make it past ep1 of Ozark. - spamlet Oct 29, 08:28 1
    - That’s the reason I don’t watch Narcos—I did watch Ozark, which I think is amazing because of acting. -- nm - flavorize Oct 29, 08:33
  - I've seen Ozark and You. Ozark is soul crushingly good. You is akin to Dexter. Serial killer fun? -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 08:25 5
    - I watched the first two episodes of Ozark. It was good, just a little too intense for my tastes at the time. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 08:28 4
      - Same. -- nm - Krusty Oct 29, 08:33 3
        
        MrsJax: "everyone on this show is a f*cking horrible person." - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 29, 08:43 2
        
        I have an issue with shows where everyone is horrible. It's why I couldn't get into House of Cards. - Krusty Oct 29, 09:50
        
        Word. And the 3 leads are just fucking stellar. Season 4 is taking too fucking long. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Oct 29, 09:12
Ozark FTW -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:11 2
- Ozark Rokks -- nm - mud Oct 29, 08:29
- You crushed that! - Inigo Oct 29, 08:15
