  1. Quite the humblebrag that it takes until your first step to feel old.
  2. I'm very pleased with Pietro's portrayal in the sitcom. He was dead-on with his portrayal of a 1980s, ethnic European brother.
  3. Low rise jeans on women. Juicy sweatsuits. Uggs. Whale tail. Cargo pants. Western shirts with pearl snaps. Pleather. Hot Topic shifting from more goth/emo to more emo and pop culture. Killer airbags. Cars with more ground clearance and bigger small cars, e.g. Sentras and Corollas. Goatees, not full beards. Tribal tattoos.
  4. USS DIscovery: "It's bigger on the inside." It almost seemed like a callback to Galaxy Quest's ridiculous ship layout. They need to save self-satirization for Lower Decks.
  5. Even though it's been awhile since I've read the books, I recall that character as just kinda shitty in general. He's playing it very well.
  6. In retrospect, even though it was a good season, nothing topped the end of the first episode. True believers.
  7. The special effects were not so great in retrospect, but very serviceable for the time. The first four seasons, at least, were quite good space opera, in the mode of Dune.
  8. I remember the book version of this season as more exciting.
  9. My fax number, (needed for dealing with the IRS), used to belong to a pharmacy. Every time I got a fax from a doctor's office, I would call them to let them know about their mistake. If they were rude or I couldn't reach them, I'd report them for the HIPAA violation. DHS would follow up with a letter listing the penalty, which was usually remedial education.
  10. I don't sleep without my CPAP. When I was a frequent traveler, (and before they had small, convenient battery-powered CPAPs or accessible power outlets on airplanes), I would stay up through red eye flights even if it meant a day longer than 30 hours. Being dependent on a machine sucks. But the sleep is so much better.
  11. Loved the opening with Amos and Peaches pissing in the field. A little too much Naomi and not enough everyone else. I guess they want to show that she really struggled to get her message out.
  12. That's kinda the point, not getting it. Vision is back, alive and living with Wanda in a black & white, 1950s sitcom. Both are lacking crucial memories of how they got there. There's more going on than a mere sitcom. Vision's behavior is atypical. It's a mystery with a ridiculous backdrop. A great job at making us, the audience, feel cognitive dissonance.
  13. I read the books years ago, so I can't comment openly. From the show, I have no idea where the protomolecule is. Book spoiler below:
  14. Maybe they're in the "Facebook Friends I want to bang" thread?
  15. This is true. I've had to message several attractive women while trying to track down my Tío Louis or find information on my Costa Rican heritage. (That they're attractive is a coincidence.)
  16. If your mom or dad has done AncestryDNA, it will say "Father's side" or "Mother's side" next to the names of relatives of the parent who has also taken the test. Does Ancestry list any relatives, let's say grandparents to uncles/aunts to second cousins, whose name you should know, but you don't? You can try uploading your data to GEDMatch or also doing 23andme to see if you can get more info (without asking mom or dad what really happened).
  17. That's pretty much in the middle of the range for a full sibling, so it's possible that she is a full sibling your mom put up for adoption while your dad was out of country. Or one or both of your parents isn't actually related to you.
  18. Really enjoyed most of the Discworld series, until it got so utterly formulaic at the end. This looks promising, even though collapsing the entirety of the Watch books into a television series will grate on me as a book fan. Discworld deserves an MCU.

    Call Me Kat

    After watching the trailer, I knew my wife would want to watch this show. We did. Neither of us could believe how much it sucked.
  20. My sincere condolences. You and yours will be in my prayers.
  21. It's good, but the deus ex machina was so blatant that it makes me wonder if it's a red herring.
  22. That already happened. I feel like it happened between CW and Rebels, just based on her character change and the white light sabers, but, on screen, I can point only to Ezra manipulating time to save her from dying at the end of Twilight of the Apprentice.
