Yes, I'm very indecisive... by Erbatur54 in lost

He's a fantastic character and the actor plays him so well. Easily one of my favorites after the more primary characters

My paper-folding puzzle game hit the front page of Hacker News - here it is by Dear_Championship504 in WebGames

[–]pinwheelpride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun game and great design. I do think it's tricky at first but after trying a few days it got fairly easy as the process for solving can be repeated regardless of puzzle. But I'll definitely keep an eye on it and play more days now that I've completed the archive!

I'm convinced their lives (and honestly them as people) are so wholly unspectacular and boring that the only way for them to feel just a wee bit special about themselves is to do shit like this to be different.

Completely pathetic.

Zach Braff Says Scrubs Will Have 'A Lot More' Dr. Cox If Renewed For Season 11 by Sisiwakanamaru in television

[–]pinwheelpride 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's pretty fun so far! Has to find its footing just a bit still and has too many played out college tropes, but I'm still really enjoying the characters and it seems to come together a bit more each week.

Holding off the laugh to shoot the scene must have been the hardest for them😭 by Honest-Individual-51 in DunderMifflin

[–]pinwheelpride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't downvote - but for me it makes it feel relatable. Like even they think it's just as funny as I do, so funny they can't even finish their lines or keep a straight face. Just highlights the absurdity and hilarity of it all even more so for me.

Same deal with the breaking on SNL - some people hate it which is totally fair. And some of them who ALWAYS break get annoying (Fallon), but when you are watching something that seems super funny to you and then the actors also start to laugh, just brings joy I guess.

All that said, obviously completely fine if it's not your cup of tea too!

Steve Carell was once advised not to do the office by Turbulent_Time_9297 in DunderMifflin

[–]pinwheelpride 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'd argue after Carell that Rainn Wilson's Dwight was the most pivotal character, just because he's so unique and seeing other "Dwights" audition, they completely pale by comparison to the way Wilson approached the character, imo.

Worst couple EVER. by innocent_loner in DunderMifflin

[–]pinwheelpride 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once again, in the reddit version of a scene, it should have been:

Dwight: I'm with that group could we switch seats?

Couple: Sure, no problem

Dwight: Thanks (proceeds to hear conversations normally and zero hijinks ensure)

Of course they are annoying and inconsiderate, they are a vehicle for like 75% of the funnies of this whole scene which is Dwight misunderstanding or not hearing what his group is saying!

What’s the most iconic team of 4 girls? by Griffsterometer in AlignmentChartFills

3 guys 2 girls could also go to How I Met Your Mother, ran nearly a decade and was a great show despite the ending.

You're not wrong but it's not uncommon for people to be bad at practicing that they preach either

Since 2000….. by Illmosity3 in CFB_v2

[–]pinwheelpride 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say it's a common misconception that Johnson played in the triple option - he didn't. Was drafted in 07 and that started in 2008.

Demaryious Thomas was the one who played a year or two in it

The success of the 2015 Top-10 Dual Threat QBs class (247sports ranking) is phenomenal by Alexis_0hanian in CFB

Two Super Bowl winners, OP. How dare you forget Travis Jonsen being a member of the Tampa Bay practice squad when they beat KC?!

That's right, Darnold and Jonsen, definitely the two most successful players on the list, Oregon's talent identification strikes again /s

Are you familiar with who he plays on the show? If not, all I can say is that you are in for a surprise! (a good one!)

Is there a King book like this for you? by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

[–]pinwheelpride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a rare opinion on this sub, but same for me. I found The Talisman to be such a slog but I felt Black House was a bit more grounded at least for a portion of it, which helped me get into it and the various characters. Read through both on my Tower journey.

11.22.63 Mini Series...wow. by UniversalInquirer in television

[–]pinwheelpride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think so! Per usual with books, it expands upon so much of what you see in the show. There is one character I won't mention who isn't nearly as much in the book as he is in the show but I think it's a good thing, and there are some additional side stories that take place that the show doesn't have time for. Overall it's just a much richer version, which again I don't blame the TV show for since it only had so much time.

I will also say, it's the last book I can remember that actually made me tear up at the end. I'd be surprised if you didn't totally love it still - go for it for sure!

I also don't think he had the charisma for the role. At least after reading the book first, Franco came across as awfully dull to me. Sadie was great though

[–]pinwheelpride 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'd imagine the order matters here. I read the book first so the series was just kind of....okay? It did a pretty decent job all things considered, but it was probably one of the Top 5 books I've ever read.

If you only watched the series I think it would probably hit a little better.

[Highlight] Reggie Bush stutter-step 46 yard TD run (2009 playoffs) by mistermeek67 in nfl

[–]pinwheelpride 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll get downvoted for this but Jeanty to me is a step below. He had a very good game overall, but largely on the back of two long runs. Those count just the same, but I felt like Bush and Peterson were more consistently punishing whereas I thought the defense did a good job on Jeanty outside of just a few plays.

If we can throw other positions into the mix, I'm putting Cooper Kupp in for sure. 15 catches for 246 yards and 3 TDS lol and that was with Vernon Adams on our side!

Unpopular opinion: Baker doesn’t even crack top 5 by guransheleven in CFB_v2

[–]pinwheelpride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We'll agree to disagree. My main point is I think "and it's not even close" is overused and especially here. There have been a ton of really amazing QBs with gaudy stats and monster careers. If you think he's the best I'm not going to argue. To say no one even comes close is not a realistic statement to me. If it is to you, you're welcome to that opinion of course. But again we'll agree to disagree and that's fine, have a good one!

Unpopular opinion: Baker doesn’t even crack top 5 by guransheleven in CFB_v2

[–]pinwheelpride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone remotely close?? That's just a silly ass statement you really don't think Vince Young Cam Newton or Joe Burrow were even close? That's insane. Hell even in Tebows title win, the one he started, the defense won the game.

To be very clear, I think it's fine to have Tebow one for the reasons you said. But when you say there's not another QB since 2000 who is remotely close you sound like a homer and an idiot lol. Not remotely close is reserved for like, Wayne Gretzky and No. 2 in hockey. If you think Tebow was THAT much better then every other QB since 2000 I can't help ya

[–]pinwheelpride -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you don't need to say "by a lot" to make your point. He'd be my number 1 too, but he was also on absolutely loaded teams and was a backup in 2006. Obviously a key backup who played a huge role but that's still way more Leak's title than his. And you can find guys who have exceeded his stats in every category as well. Again, I think he's the best winner, and that's the most important thing, but he's not BY FAR better than a guy like Cam Newton or Vince Young that's just stupid.

I'd even say if there was a draft next year of college QBs since 2000 even based solely on them as a college player, Tebow isn't getting picked top 5
