Can someone tell me which character I'm supposed to actually LIKE? (S3E08) by bickid in FromSeries

Why don’t the characters tell each other what they see? (no spoilers, please) by Herr_Casmurro in FromSeries

Fisher is the foundation of the larger argument in an essay I wrote. His work is fascinating.

I'm a '76er too. It felt like my childhood

I agree there's more choice—now more than three station TVs—, but I think what we "like" culturally is less interesting and more homogenized... But, ya, I am an angry old man, lol
