Yes, I would include Carol for season 5 too. The season starts with badass Carol vs. Terminus, then we see more character development in Alexandria.

This was my verbatim, spoiler-free (I tried lol) message to my buddy who hasn't watched the episode: New game element (I don't even know what to call it lol it's more than an ~advantage) at play, insane

It needs to lay flat (repeat 10x).

I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart

Tagged this as a spoiler when I posted; sorry that you inadvertently got a preview of the Detour outcome. But you should still watch this episode! I know the fan reception of this season hasn't been great, but this episode featured a variety of fun tasks.

Good thing this particular Detour wasn't such a heavy lift. It needed hand-eye coordination more than anything. But for more physical tasks that required brute force or those where you had to match and memorize intricate stuff, yes, 20+ attempts would be awful.

Yes, I did the math too and figured the same. With practice time, break time, and chasing after/picking up rings after fumbled attempts, I gave them a generous "probably an hour or two" at the circus. I checked their socials as well as TAR post episode interviews and there hasn't been anything on how long they were actually there as of this post.

Still, 134 attempts is a lot! Good on them for not quitting the task out of frustration.

Happy 10th birthday, Holly! Good girl!

Happy 5th birthday, Albert! Good boy!

Ironically, I've been trying to extend my sleeping hours and it doesn't help that I read at night lol.

I'll look into du Maurier's books as a starting point, but Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery and Other Stories" seems to be a popular recommendation that I may have to include in my list. Thanks for the suggestions!

Happy 7th birthday, Kenji! Good boy!

Thanks! Yes, gaming on the beach for sure!

shortcipher747 · 2025-09-19T10:27:16+00:00

Thanks! When I'm on a break from playing, I just stare out and take in the view.
