- The details of this story make Harry sound like an absolute idiot and hypocrite two times over. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 06:15 1
  - I don't think he's known for his brains (or most others in the family). - LMS Jan 5, 06:52
- The family sounds horribly toxic. -- nm - TWuG Jan 5, 06:07
- he sure do love burning bridges. I guess he can't really get a real job. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 05:54 23
  - the secrets he has to tell are all the worth he has. -- nm - colin Jan 5, 06:04

    - He's gotta eat. - spamlet Jan 5, 06:14 17
      - Sure, and I have no problem with him doing the show or the book, whatever. BUT, his future prospects somewhat rely on him being liked by the public- - Andie Jan 5, 06:20 16
        
        I agree with andie. he's become pretty unlikable. I'm not saying he can't have his trauma or even talk about it. but I feel like someone of his statur - judge amanda jones Jan 5, 06:42 3
        
        Because the institution of the Monarchy is crap and needs to go? - JaxSean Jan 5, 06:47
        
        It does reinforce the "they are horribly racist and don't care" aspects of what drove him out of the family. -- nm - TWuG Jan 5, 06:45 1
        
        yes, but why do we need to reinforce, revisit? it seems a bit classless to take the first swing here. -- nm - judge amanda jones Jan 5, 06:49
        
        I don't think he cares at all about being part of "the family" anymore. But, he was born into it and has that against him as well. - JaxSean Jan 5, 06:27 8
        
        no matter what he does, he isn't tearing down the monarchy. It might chip away at it a bit more, but it's not going anywhere from this. -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 06:28 7

        LMS! What is the general Harry-feeling in London these days? -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 06:29 5
        
        Generally no one gives a shit about the royal family and Harry is well rid of them for the way the press and the family treated Meghan. - LMS Jan 5, 06:45 1
        
        This makes Harry sound more and more like Russia. - Max Jan 5, 07:10
        
        As they've shown, the media coupling with The Family drives a lot of their messages to the public. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 5, 06:43 2
        
        Although I'd think very few actually believe the coverage in the newspapers (Daily Mail in particular) or care. -- nm - LMS Jan 5, 06:48 1
        
        So they're not as gullible as Americans. Good. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 5, 06:51

Volnelk: I hit play on Kaleidoscope and it gave me Black as my first episode. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 20:38 7

  - Ah, I see. The first full episode it gives me is Green. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 21:10
- Interesting. I guess maybe it just loads differently as a show for everyone. - Volnelk Jan 4, 20:41 4
  - They can't go shuffling after you select the episode, it has to be on the episode selection screen. -- nm - Ender Jan 4, 20:43 3
    - So my question then is "Are people's episode selection screens in different orders?" Mine started with Yellow but Krusty got Green. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 5, 04:41 2
