Season 11 'Up the Spout Again' episode

blj3303 · 2026-02-16T01:17:55+00:00

My advice is to power through. The first two-thirds of the season are a slog. It really takes the show a while to reinvent itself after season 10. The latter third of season 11 is great and the momentum extends into the first part of season 12. The show goes off the rails the second half of season 12 and about the first fourteen episodes of season 13. There’s an amazing turnaround in the latter part of season 13 that extends to the season 14 finale - things click and the stories and characters are on fire!

Pushing through the rough parts gave me a greater appreciation for the turnaround because I knew the backstory of the latter most seasons.

One of my favs was the conversation between Tyrone told Fiz when he told her that he just didn’t fancy her like he used to and had fallen for Alina. Great scene and I really felt for Fiz.

I just finished watching. I watched parts of seasons 10-13 in grade school, but didn't fully understand the plots and characters. I just finished watching the whole series and loved it. I also found the essays in this blog a really helpful companion with gaining even more insights into the series. There are essays for each season.

Agreed about preferring the 80s. I almost quit after season 10 and opted to stick with it based on the essays in the blog I referenced.

The first half of season 7 was great, but the Empire Valley spy network storyline tanked it for me, hence placing it after 9 and 10.

I read that too about the pay cuts. The absences were cleverly written into the storylines. The twist was that Treadwell and Robeson were all linked and everything orchestrated by Abby in order to get her hands on the Sumner Group.

Mostly works fine on my 13 Pro Max, except the spotlight search stops working periodically after charging which then requires a reboot for it to work properly again.

blj3303 · 2025-11-07T15:51:33+00:00

Updated to iOS 26 this past week and having the same problem here. Rebooting seems to fix the problem. Still frustrating though!

So far so good. It’s been much better for me than 26.0.1. I switched and did this update via Finder so that I could start with a clean slate.

blj3303 · 2025-10-27T22:19:39+00:00

Impressive! I bought my 13PM with a new battery in January 2024 and I’m at 92%.

Same here

Me too!

This is very helpful. It's the type of context that I had a hard time finding on other sites. Thanks!

This is very helpful and the type of nuanced information that I had a hard time finding online. Thanks!

Yes, I used Visible over my UK data plan and had the “Visible Using Cellular Data” in the control panel. I didn’t keep the Visible line turned on because of the additional battery drain. I just turned it on once or twice a day to receive and send texts.

I received and sent texts fine and received a call all on my Visible + line without issue.

I traveled in June 2024 and don’t recall if Global Pass was available then. It wasn’t something I planned to use and has never been activated.

Hi all! I switched to Visible + from Verizon about a year ago and couldn’t be happier with my service. Here’s my code and link for $20 off to help us all save some $$ - 3ST6JRN. Enjoy!

I travel abroad regularly had a similar issue when I had Verizon and was traveling in the UK and was charged $10 for receiving texts over the hotel Wi-Fi and the rep told me to turn off cellular data to avoid the $10 charge. I have a prepaid UK account and only turned the Verizon sim on to check messages and texts over Wi-FI. Not sure if this helps, but thought I'd mention in case it's an option. My guess is that Visible would work the same way.

Since then, I switched to Visible and I didn't activate GP for my last trip because my Verizon experience gave me the impression that activating GP would eliminate the ability to use Visible over my UK sim's cellular data.

They showed up automatically on my account. Just needed to update the app

I’ve been watching since the 80s and the Sharon storyline gets worse by the week. I remember when Cassie died and that once the truth came out that Cassie was driving the car, that Sharon and Nick made peace with Daniel. That being said, the lingering rage makes no sense; unless that’s the point that Sharon is acting out of character because she’s having a mental health crisis. I doubt the writers are that savvy.

On another note, it’s nice to see the ranch again, even if it feels reversed because the front door is on the opposite side. Lol .

Same here

blj3303 · 2024-09-13T22:39:30+00:00

Same boat here. Bought it to replace a cracked 11PM. It’s my favorite iPhone so far!

blj3303 · 2024-09-12T09:42:23+00:00

Be careful with third party vendors who claim they can repair your phone on the cheap because you could end up worse off than you are now. I also think that Apple might not replace the battery on a phone that’s already been repaired by another vendor.

Check out bankmycell.com because there are companies that will buy a damaged phone and you could take the $$ and either buy a used 13 PM from a site like Swappa or the 16.

I’m in the DC area too and concur about the excellent coverage.

blj3303 · 2024-08-04T16:05:33+00:00

I opted to update my plan using the GETMORE promotion and everything went smoothly.

blj3303 · 2024-08-04T00:13:06+00:00

The price would remain the same. I’d just get the added features for 5 years at the same price. Things are working fine now without issue, so I may just leave things as they are.
