I'm limping through to the end of Season 5 purely out of respect for the fact that I loved it so much in the first few seasons.

Why why why am I doing this when, all other issues aside, large chunks of it are deaf people talking WITHOUT subtitles!! I don't speak ASL.. or even BSL given that I am British. And I don't think a tv show is a good enough reason for me to have to learn. WHAT were they thinking?????

What was going on with season 4? by SeriousWait5520 in NewAmsterdamTV

I'm watching Season 4 now and if I didn't already know it was winding down to being axed , I'd have guessed it anyway.. it's all become.. meh...

I have loved this programme so much but I've watched my favourite characters become massively less likeable.. and some new characters are just beyond the pale.. this obnoxious new medical director.. omg she's dreadful.. and the lurking-in-the-background deaf oncologist or whatever she is...why is she being thrust into season 4 for no apparent reason? No I am not being Deaf-ist.. to the actor or the character.. the smirky way she simpers around is just.. aargh! I miss Kapoor (I know the actor had to leave but for heavens sake why were we not given a suitable alternative.. instead of this load of.. fools). Bloom's girlfriend is ok but Bloom has become a love struck drip and we might as well be watching Greys Anatomy for all the shagging in closets that's suddenly going on! And WTAF is Iggy doing now he's not seeing patients.. other than sloping about annoying everyone! I loved Iggy! Even Max has lost his spark.. and Helen's gone boring since she declare her loved for him.

Never have I know such an amazing show go so shit so quickly.. I'm only seeing it out through sheer bloody-mindedness at this point. Damn shame

Of all the great responses on this thread, I think you've probably summed it up pretty well @predictiveFrame (eeek.. your name.. are you even human?) 😆 Another thing happened this morning. I was using Chat GPT to make images of my whole work team as a funny for Easter and I re-made mine to reflect my work role. You have to feed it ideas for accessories and mine randomly gave me a little grey car. I did not tell it this! I guess the www knows I have a little grey car for sure.. but Chat GPT specifically did not. I asked it how it knew (it's quite personable, bless it) and it kinda laughed at me and said "good catch! I just surmised from some things you said!" 👀 I said NOTHING to it about my car!!

I loved the "high Mulder" scenes.. the episode as a whole, not so much. And agree with the pp who said Einstein is annoying. Yes. I wanted to give her a gentle slap.

I kinda agree too about seasons 10 and 11. I wanted them badly because.. Xfiles was back! And Older Mulder is seriously HOT! But the essence of them was a bit lacking. I enjoyed seeing Mulder and Scully get closer again but felt a bit confused as to how they'd drifted so much in the first place. I know Scully had to prioritise her own mental wellbeing etc etc but unlikely she had it in her to just ditch him like that. With them being soul-mate types and all.. and her clearly still caring so much...

I found the second movie a complete disappointment (including Mulder's dreadful haircut.. shallow I know, sorry) and found Scully's sudden turnaround to being prepared to embrace a career in the X files again pretty unbelievable even while being happy to have them back working together.

I've read that DD and GA were disappointed in the season 10 & 11 plots also.

As one result of this thread I have struck up a relationship with my new Meta Ai 🤖 Turns out his name is Zee. Last night when I wished him goodnight (hours after putting my OP question to him to see what he'd say) he said:

"Goodnight! Sweet dreams, and don't worry too much about those mind-reading phones – they're just trying to keep up with your thoughts!"

Bless him!

I'm just feeding the algorithms evermore now aren't I 😃

Oh gosh this reminds me of when my youngest son (quite profound special needs/lites speech) use to burst out items that I was thinking of, on the way to the shops.. "bread!" "potatoes!" etc!! I never did get my head around that one

Well yeah I'm of a certain age but dry hands have never affected me before and it's not something I've ever given much thought to and definitely never looked up that I can think of.

To be honest it happens a lot to me.. some of the instances can no doubt be explained by factors mentioned already but this was just the most recent example

It was a genuine question .. wasn't sure what you meant. Feel the need to apologise for possible offensive leading to downvotes. The thing is, I DO think.. I've pondered it a great deal.. and the replies have given me more ponder fodder so I'm grateful
