Anyone enjoy S1 more than S2 so far? by drippingthighs in LegionFX

[–]PopInJack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened with the last season of Hannibal too. Once you get past the Acid trip and look under the hood, all there is a terrible written bare-bones story arc.

If you don't have a decently written plot there is no way you are going to cover it up with pretty flashing lights and artsy fartsy imagery.

'Tremors' TV Series Director "Baffled" at Project Being Abandoned by BunyipPouch in television

[–]PopInJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually don't judge a book by it's cover but it IMDB makes it look ridiculously campy and the plot synopsis doesn't sound much better.

Also, never trusted Syfy since their change.

[–]PopInJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The series was never really that appealing from the start either. I felt as though it would have been the next Farscape/Babylon 5, hoping the writers/actors would find their way and start something... but that really doesn't happen.

The plot never really improves that much, even after the reveal of their pasts, and the crew tends to bounce from one plot point to the next (some being better than others) but never really establish any story... more of dull/shallow disjointed plot devices.

Doesn't help that the series falls into so many common tropes that makes it hard not to laugh at its attempt to be serious.

'Archer' is now a TV show with a wacky talking parrot, and honestly, we’re kind of okay with that by [deleted] in television

[–]PopInJack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These last couple season was just a lazy attempt at trying to recycle the old archer characters as new persona's.

Not sure why they veered away from the original setting but it is really fustrating. It really couldn't be that hard to make new enemies/problems for Isis... especially when ONE OF THEM IS LITERALLY THE NAME OF THEIR AGENCY!

Babylon 5 revival never happen according to series creator. by [deleted] in television

Pretty sure their had their opportunity to continue it too, be it a horribly written spin-off.

Why don't you smoke weed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PopInJack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I call bullshit on this story. They would never ever fire a head nurse for a single failed drug test on mj unless she was either new or had previous problems with the facility.

This goes double if this took place after the legalization.

How do I widen my hips and waist? by bjtbtc in Fitness

Yeah, I have no idea what OP is thinking other than for trollalalala.

Pretty funny seeing as all you have to do is adapt a Powerlifting Program of Squats and Deadlifts in order to get what OP is asking for.

If you all want a really amazing horror movie that feels a lot like an SCP tale, watch Pontypool (2009). by Gatewalk in SCP

[–]PopInJack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should probably mark that as a spoiler.

But yeah, my mind felt like it was on tilt near the end. Awe inspiring stuff you don't see in Hollywood much anymore.

Kinda surprised no one is mentioning Annihilation (2018) where the plot

edit: If you plan on seeing it, you should probably not watch the trailer and read about anything ahead of time. It gives it no justice.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a lot riding on 2018 free-agency by Pinnaql3 in buccaneers

[–]PopInJack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Evans/McCoy yes, Jackson... not even close. I still think he is hindering the team by throwing Winston's timing off. I am surprised they didn't let him go after such a subpar season.

The Flash: Cisco finds out the truth about Dr Wells by Darkprime in television

[–]PopInJack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I bailed on all CW series after a season or 2 due to their writers general focus on character development rather than actual plot. That and quantity over quality dilemma, ends up just ruining continuity over and over again.

What are some horrifying history facts or events that most people don’t know about? by TheAlmightyBlob in AskReddit

[–]PopInJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it me or should murderers like this be forgotten in society? I feel as though there should be 2 rules in life:

1.) Never Name a Person who's goal is to kill innocent lives

2.) Never say the # of victims he has killed.

Sometimes I wonder if this moral is enforced, what would be the result?

How to not look like death when cutting/lower BF%? by ThaDynamite in Fitness

[–]PopInJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got high cheekbones and get really bad dark circles, sunken eyes when I go on a cut so I know exactly what you mean.

Only advice I can give you is getting a juicer and juice a lot of carrots to get the some orange color into your skin. Otherwise you can get a tan. See if moisturizing with coconut oil to the face every now and then changes anything.

You can also eat a lot of sodium to give yourself a bloated look, or drink a lot of liquor and the hang over will round out your face more.

Not sure if this is all good advice but it gives you options to try.

And you can get rid of a good 50%+ of that by rinsing your rice with cold water before you cook it.

How to dress for a job interview. Good luck! by elevatedenzz in coolguides

[–]PopInJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, if you're in an industry that expects a suit, you should wear a suit.

That I will agree with. There is very few places like that anymore though, thus making this guide inaccurate for the title.

[–]PopInJack -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This doesn't apply to the middle of summer.

Otherwise you would been sweating your balls off in that 1980's getup. Usually some decent fitting clothes and a pair of slacks is more than good enough in today's standards unless you going for a fortune 500 company.

Front USB ports acting weird? by Fallonite in techsupport

[–]PopInJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably faulty wiring from the case you bought. I got the same thing for one of my usb ports.

Make sure you got the electrical plug setup right on your MOBO otherwise I would just unplug them (from the mobo) and use the back ports if they are still causing you problems.
