Strange New Worlds was grrrreat! -- nm - Mop May 8, 20:10 3
- great Discovery spin off. -- nm - Remlik May 8, 20:14 2
  - Yes, just like how Better Call Saul is a great Breaking Bad spin-off. -- nm - Beryllium May 8, 20:46 1
    - right? and it's the better show -- nm - Remlik May 9, 08:27
One other small thing about Dr Strange 2 ((spoils) - eag May 8, 20:02

    - 😄 -- nm - Diva May 8, 19:54

- I've fastforwarded past everything Kwan. -- nm - Max May 8, 20:11
- OK, now for a spoiler… - Mop May 8, 20:03
- ugh -- nm - Remlik May 8, 18:55
- Yup. But still better than Picard season 2. -- nm* - Spawn May 8, 18:55
Leafs puttin Shorsey, the Hansons and Ogie Ogilthorpe out for the last 2 minutes -- nm* - Beaker May 8, 18:45
I general I don't like the Sixers. But: Maxey has been so damn fun to watch during the playoffs -- nm - prayformojo May 8, 18:30 2
- And he's still just 21. -- nm - David May 8, 18:31 1
  - I really hope his trajectory continues -- nm - prayformojo May 8, 18:32
The Road to Hana is gorgeous. And exhausting. - ty97 May 8, 18:29 2

- can relate -- nm - prayformojo May 8, 18:30

    - Oh, ouch. -- nm - Mop May 8, 18:50
    - hell yeah -- nm - mud May 8, 18:30
  - That's to far. It was a decent season, the problem was giving Stewart to much input. -- nm - Remlik May 8, 18:18 4
    - It wasn't. I loved season one; season 2 was objectively lousy. - David May 8, 18:29 3
      - those are fair points...they went through multiple show runners... - Remlik May 8, 18:42 2
        
        Well, I'm genuinely glad you enjoyed it. -- nm - David May 8, 18:43 1
        
        it was 2 episodes to long. And the story needed tightening... - Remlik May 8, 18:47

    - Yup. -- nm - The Allfather May 8, 18:12 5
      - I really am having trouble getting motivated to go back. I keep thinking Amy will suggest it but I think she is in the same boat. Of course, she... - Spawn May 8, 18:15 4
        
        There is that cliffhanger at the end of the 1st episode that they have to resolve. So… I guess there’s that? -- nm - Mop May 8, 18:49 2
        
        Last we saw had the spoil - Spawn May 8, 18:53 1
        
        Fair enough. The resolution of the underlying narrative isn’t all that good, anyway. -- nm - Mop May 8, 20:09
        
        There's something really great in episode 10. At least watch that one this week. I'd hate for you to get spoiled. -- nm - David May 8, 18:30

  - I heard it was more like 30 minutes (spoils) - eag May 8, 18:12 1
    - It passed out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. -- nm - TWuG May 8, 18:17
Maybe it’s because I’m binging but I’m in season 3 of Stranger Things and I feel like I’m watching just to finish more than enjoying it. -- nm - Dano May 8, 17:14 2
- we gave up on it somewhere in there. -- nm - Reagen May 8, 18:17
- Yup. I was a little surprised they went back to the well for a 4th season. -- nm - Baruno May 8, 18:15
I admire this. -- (pic) - The Allfather May 8, 17:08 [Attachment] 1
- LOL! -- nm - Mop May 8, 17:54

- :-[ -- nm - mud May 8, 16:00
Zillow! -- (link) - Reagen May 8, 15:34 8

  - A24 presents -- nm - Reagen May 8, 15:39
Arcade Fire has announced a US Tour, and Beck is the support on the US dates, which seems odd. -- nm - MDH May 8, 15:20 5
- With or without Win Butler? He seemed really off during Coachella. -- nm - Mop May 8, 20:04
- I saw Beck with 311 and Incubus years and years ago. It was very good. -- nm - Qale May 8, 19:02
- They were enjoyable on SNL last night. -- nm - Spawn May 8, 18:18
- For example, the venue he's supporting in DC he played last year and sold out 2 nights. -- nm - MDH May 8, 15:22 1
  - I'll bet, at venues like that, it will be billed as more of co-headliners. - RelutantCynic May 8, 15:36

    - Which is sad, because visually it's really good. (spoilers) - Marlowe May 8, 15:16 3
      - To your IM I actively hated that scene. So cringe. -- nm - TWuG May 8, 15:27 2
        
        *shrugs* It's different, which never ever ever happens with MCU. (NM) -- nm - Marlowe May 8, 15:32 1
