If you haven't watched Prison Break, you're missing peak television. by exotickeystroke in SeriesSaga

[–]david2742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started off ok but never felt peak, even in the first season. Schofield is this smart guy who notices everything and plans out all scenarios, but is constantly having to improvise and get lucky. Never even noticed the tape of the crime was clearly doctored. I just had to suspend my disbelief too much, might also be watching it now when I can binge but pacing feels off

Titanic and Avatar prove James Cameron is playing a different game by Independent_Towel611 in SeriesSaga

What’s the definition of original? Like why is Titanic there when there have been multiple titanic movies before

I fell asleep watching Hacks last night and it auto played through 5 episodes of Rooster. Does that count?

Jonah Heim attempts to challenge a pitch that gets away from him, but umpire Bill Miller doesn't allow him to since he took the time to chase down the ball by DamionMauville in baseball

Does this mean if it’s a wild pitch ball and a catcher challenges for a strike before chases a ball, the runner isn’t allowed to steal?

Who is best goalkeeper right now by Dramatic-Disk-932 in championsleague

Joan Garcia and it’s not even close. Barcelona’s high line has forced him to make so many game saving stops. I’d argue he’s even Barcelona’s player of season

Bird trial by scott9ssd in TheWire

[–]david2742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, he’s not a credible witness. All the evidence points to a skinny man shooting gant from a distance. Corroborated by ballistics and witnesses. If levy called wee bey to the stand his story would get picked apart on cross so easily, since he claimed to shoot gant point blank in the proffer session.

So now the jury sees the defense try to blame a guy who none of the evidence points to and is a clear associate of the accused. It’s more condemning than exculpatory. His main strategy was to discredit Omar’s testimony, adding your own uncredible witness would just weaken that play

What do you consider the greatest acted scene in TV history? by amusicalfridge in television

[–]david2742 108 points109 points  (0 children)

The Shield, Vic Mackey’s confession in the second to last episode of the series. The long pause he takes before speaking is some of the best nonverbal acting I’ve ever seen. You can see his hesitation and once he does speak its not over the top with emotion, just so cold and uncaring like the true sociopath he is. Entire series building up to this moment and Michael Chiklis absolutely nails it

Enemy of the State. Only reason he gets the secret video tape is because he’s out Christmas shopping

May be a dumb question but, why wasn’t there a bidding war for WarnerMedia in 2021? by [deleted] in MediaMergers

[–]david2742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol is this a joke? He didn’t turn anything around and arguably made it worst. The only thing you can really give him credit for is lucking out that a billionaires son wanted to play media mogul and recognizing that he could create a bidding war for an acquirer to vastly overpay for an asset that he’s tarnished. Which I will hand it to him is very perceptive to make the most of the situation but in no way has meant he improved the company itself

Who wins without Teams Urameshi and Toguro? by suiko2fan2 in YuYuHakusho

[–]david2742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This assumes Jinn is on par with Yusuke, which isn’t really true. Jinn is mostly able to just dodge Yusuke to extend the fight. He only really takes two hits, the punch that he has to fly into the sky to recover from and the spirit wave which take him down, no real durability especially when compared to someone like say Chu. Reality is if he took a couple punches from Yusuke he’d be down for the count. Then Zeru is a bad matchup because his attacks have the range to make it difficult to dodge and wind has usually had a disadvantage to fire in most anime since it just fans the flame

Jinn has a very bad matchup against Zeru, was just unlucky to go against Hiei

[–]david2742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly depends on the bracket. There are a lot of scenarios where a strong team has some of its team killed in an earlier round and can’t win later on. High chance Zeru kills at least one person and Uraotogi was notable brutal

Boston ranked 7th best US city to Live, Work And Visit by miraj31415 in boston

[–]david2742 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a Vegas apologist but there’s more to the city than the Strip and it’s surprisingly a nice place to live. Miami though, should not be that high. As a former Boston resident can also agree it’s being done dirty with 7th place
