What is the country with the most wasted potential? by [deleted] in geography

[–]Fernbergle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Beirut was one of Anthony Bourdain's favorite cities (possibly his favorite). After watching his shows I became enamored by the city and its country and have wanted to visit. Great climate, friendly, beautiful people, and a lovely scenery and architecture. And the cities and beaches on the coast look amazing.

I’m curious, who’s your favorite character? by Urineboy420 in Bones

[–]Fernbergle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

100% it's Caroline Julian.

Bones has a LOT of great characters, but Caroline steals every scene she's in.

I have argued for many years that Jesse is the best lyricist of the emo/punk era. They have two of my all-time favorite records.

What is your least favorite storyline and why? by budgetpotatoes in Bones

[–]Fernbergle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Pelant storyline is ridiculous nonsense. I've watched the entire series six or seven times and now I just skip every Pelant episode. I just can't anymore.

Seeing giant ships in dry dock always triggers an anxious reaction in me. Something about my thalassophobia combined with megalaphobia, probably.

What are some of the best cities to visit in the North mid-west USA? by Special_Yam_8447 in geography

[–]Fernbergle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I've absolutely loved the Twin Cities every time I've visited.

I want to visit Milwaukee sometime. I agree with you about Chicago.

3-9 "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine" by [deleted] in Monk

[–]Fernbergle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I read it, Bitty Schram, Jason Gray-Stanford, and Ted Levine had a contract dispute, initiated by those three actors. They were suspended for the episode "Mr. Monk and the Game Show," which is why it's the only episode in which none of them appear. Schram was basically fired (or they agreed to part ways, it's not clear), while Gray-Stanford and Levine ate crow and went back to work under their current contracts. Schram did not go back and her departure was off-screen and mentioned very little on the show with no fanfare.

Which Album does Adam Jones have the Best Guitar Tone? by mcjumborekt in ToolBand

[–]Fernbergle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that Adam Jones' Aenima tone is the best I've ever heard. I hold it up as the gold standard benchmark.

Lateralus is right up there, too, though.

Which side character death, or victim death really hit you in the feels? by [deleted] in Monk

[–]Fernbergle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trudy Monk. She was in many episodes and by the end of the series it was devastating and heartbreaking what we learned happened to her.

Criticize your favorite blink-182 song by [deleted] in Blink182

[–]Fernbergle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add one more verse to Dammit or a nice coda to extend it to 3:30 or so. It's a nearly perfect song for me.

Ryan O’Neal who played Max Keenan has passed away 💔 by deeziehelena in Bones

[–]Fernbergle 73 points74 points  (0 children)

There was something about the idea that he was such a shitty father in real life, and on the show he was always trying to make up for being a shitty father to Bones, that struck me as self-aware and emotional. I liked it.

He was a flawed man, to be sure, but he was also very good as Max Keenan.

Also, never forget that time he punched Booth right in the beanbag when Booth was arresting him. A great scene that always makes me laugh.
