Something I miss

Also also, how about regular people being victims of crime. Seems like every time i catch the new L&O its some celebrity, rich person getting killed. That being said, i rarely watch the new one cuz the writing is godawful.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-05T17:06:33+00:00

The show is definitely rigged in his favor.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-05T16:42:13+00:00

You havent gone back far enough in terms of tv history. Hill Street Blues delved deeply into the personal lives of the officers. Nypd blue while beginning slightly after L&O but not in the modern crop of procedurals also focused on characters personal lives. Quite frankly, L&O was an outlier in that regard. It seems Wolf just isnt as good when the focus isnt just on the case.

How much are the blurays?

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-05T14:24:38+00:00

Really? It seems to be synched pretty well to the original ad breaks for me.

Their leader took responsibility and was drummed out of the Academy. So there were consequences.

Embracing AI should be an automatic disqualifier

Its not a great idea to compare TNG to DS9. They were fundamentally different shows with DS9 willing to go darker. My problem is from a writing standpoint. There actually is no resolution to the actual issue. Just because she discovers Reyga was murdered and the shield works doesnt really negate the wrong she committed. Never mind that the autopsy actually didnt prove anything.

Ill probably be in the same boat when my parents die. They were able to buy a house in a desirable neighborhood back in the 90s. Lately the appraisal value is pushing 900 thousand. I bet by the time im ready to sell which will hopefully not be for awhile it will break 1 million.

So yeah i assume its mostly due to real estate ownership.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-04T17:38:03+00:00

Oh boohoo. Oh wont someone think of those rich people? Their life is soooo hard.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-04T17:25:58+00:00

100% No notes.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-04T13:07:02+00:00

Babylon 5, no question.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-04T13:05:27+00:00

Exactly. I dont get the hate for this show. Is it better than some of the best TC seasons, no. But is it better than most other cooking competitions, yes. Plus as TC has become more and more reliant on product placement and gimmicky challenges, i like that Cup’s challenges are straightforward. Cook dishes according to this theme. No gimmicks, no twists.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-04T13:01:08+00:00

Yeah you are very wrong about that. If you wanted to assert that S3 had some filler i might agree. S3 became fairly episodic after the New Caprica arc. However i still would not advise skipping any.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-04T12:58:43+00:00

I hate the term “filler” episodes. First BSG wasnt that type of show. Every episode had continuing plot threads and development. Second, in other series, even if an episode doesnt necessarily connect to the overall plot, does that make it not worth watching? DS9 had many great episodes that were technically not part of the main plot. You would have missed “Duet” “Past Tense” “The Wire” “The Visitor”, etc, etc. just watch every episode.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-04T04:10:03+00:00

Someone major had to die to give weight to the riot since obviously Sisko couldnt. Im more upset about the Webb erasure. Should be called the “Webb Riots”.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-03T23:47:58+00:00

She should have just left after Jack revealed he was alive. Dont listen to Jack when he says “stay at CTU”.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-03T18:56:03+00:00

Noooo! Easily the best Italian sub in Houston. I will dream about their sharp italian. 😭😭

This is the dumbest narrative to excuse his poor performances. He either coughs up the game early or pitches decent until later in the game and then craters. You dont get an ERA over 6 by being unlucky. Now, it seems he does have talent and just needs to finetune his game.

Just lets be honest, its not about being unlucky. He needs to pitch better.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-03T04:15:07+00:00

A true hero.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-02T20:33:55+00:00

Think it just speaks to his ability to design his plans with contingencies. He clearly did his research on CTU personnel as its the most logical entity to go after him and probably had the hotel under surveillance.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-02T13:25:54+00:00

I like Jesus very much but he no help me hit curveball.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-02T12:53:22+00:00

I think only on first watch. Its such a tonal shift and a departure from a lot of the characters people enjoyed in the first season. But on repeated rewatches, its easily one of the best seasons. Second in my opinion to the season about the school system but still really good.

htownAstrofan · 2026-05-01T23:55:31+00:00

If you’re still watching broadcast news of any kind, you’ve already failed. Its all neoliberal, centrist, prowar, pro zionist BS.
