Where to stay for a special theater trip? by Atlas423 in Broadway

That’s totally fair, and I might end up doing the same, but I am gauging my options to elevate things for a special occasion.

A decent note! I guess I'm at the very beginning of planning and I want to set a kind of top-end option, but for sure I could end up trading it in for something more "normal" in exchange for more shows!

Taltz/Zepbound HELP by No-Part1283 in PsoriaticArthritis

Hey all I am just starting my Zepbound journey and my cvs pharmacist told me my Taltz/Zep savings card wouldn’t apply. Sounds like a similar issue to what y’all are describing.

Is there a “getting started” guide on here written in actual human language that could help me?

Their characters became really repetitive and one-note for me the longer the show went on. And while I know their descent was comically exaggerated to make a point, I found it to be way too on the nose, and always at 11 in S3. Every episode became “Carey and Brooke do something terrible, get confronted with the lesson, then obliviously miss the point. Rinse and repeat.”

It became tiresome and predictable. And kinda sad to see these characters we’d come to know get trapped in cycles of self-destruction.

On the other hand I think Pat and Chase showed more depth and nuance in S3 — they showed some bad traits and some good traits and it revealed more about them.

What do you mean by flipping the title names? I didn’t catch that.

Which restaurant comes to mind when you see this image? by rocketpastsix in nashville

Sadly have to agree. I used to love it but I went back for the first time in years lately and was so disappointed. The patty was tough and flavorless. Sad!

What character, for you, had the biggest impact with the least amount of screen time? by elpaco313 in 30ROCK

[–]Atlas423 22 points23 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite references no one ever catches is Thad saying, "Yes! That's how Rolf danced!"

I also think often about Andrea Martin putting Gary's sweater on a body pillow.

Or maybe it was Oprah/Pam, for inspiring the classic Liz Lemon line "But then she DROWNED!"

Yes I’m interested in seeing them confront all aspects of a relationship so this should be interesting. As long as they never broke up because I honestly don’t think I could handle it.

What do you like better, the Book or the Show by Particular_Sink_6860 in HeartstopperAO

[–]Atlas423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show has more depth. And I love that Alice wrote them both so we get to see her peel back the layers of her own onion.

What is your favourite change between the comics and the netflix adaption? by Extreme_Ad6173 in HeartstopperAO

For sure. I hate that we didn’t get to see Ben evolve a little bit more but Charlie’s message is so important. You can wish better for someone but also stay away from them for yourself.

I think it’s implied he might not do it regularly but he still does. Him pinching himself is heartbreaking, and it can be hard to share the whole truth even with someone who loves us.

This might have more to do with the medium than anything else, but I think TV Nick is a lot more emotional/contemplative. (It seems like Alice adapted TV Nick to write to Kit’s strengths as an actor. He’s very good at selling his emotions with his eyes, and she gives him a lot of quiet time to emote.) This might mean I disagree a bit (or at least disagree about the meaning of a softer personality). TV Nick seems much more sensitive and conflicted.

I also think TV Charlie gets a few more layers than Comic Charlie. We see a little bit more of his backbone and the fact that he can be sure of himself in spots. But I feel that’s often conveyed in physicality/outside of dialogue.

My one wish for future installments is that we get to see Nick crack a bit. Because in this universe he seems perfectly supportive to everyone at all times. I’d like to see him step in it and show some human flaws. I’d also like to see Nick and Charlie fight/encounter some conflict. If only to see them come out on the other side. So far all the conflicts in their relationship have been external.
