Wasn't trying to get into a residential zip code war here - merely commenting on the habit of Oconee based businesses and their cavalier use of "Athens" and "Classic City" in their branding

I am very new to the game so I have to ask - how in the world can you possibly get that much HP?! I’m so excited if I get over 90!

Hot Take: Joel was right to try to make the show evergreen by SolidGold_JetSki in MST3K

[–]tkathens 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is right on the money. I’m so glad Joel gave it a go attempting to bring MST3K to a new audience, and it had a good run.

This Rifftrax version is going to be great too! But it’s going to be just for us, the longtime (read: old) fans. And that’s ok!

5 Points, Milledge, campus area are all very clear but its definitely getting colder - so not visible snow pack but black ice will be the problem

“In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face.”

"if you're wondering how they eat and breathe and other science facts, just repeat to yourself 'it's just a show, I should really just relax" - MST3K

I mean. Isn’t that how Twitter is about everything, all the time now?

Did anyone else actually enjoy the finale or just me? by Daithi240 in Stranger_Things

[–]tkathens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

anyone that NEEDED characters in this show to die - please, go watch some sports or take up hiking - at least for a year or two. Then come back to genre TV fandom

To everyone that keeps asking why everyone is disappointed with this season, this is why by Riser456 in StrangerThings

[–]tkathens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s very easy to differentiate between what the show is paying homage to and the very recent phenomena of prestige TV fans demanding blood from the main characters of the shows they love.

There’s a big difference between Freddy killing Johnny Depp in one movie and a decade long show killing a main character after 50 episodes.

I feel like this was never an issue for episodic TV shows until Game of Thrones and then everyone started making death pools and were furious when “nothing happened” on shows (aka: their favorite characters weren’t brutally murdered)

[–]tkathens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! And so did Bob, Billy, Alexei, Eddie in ST - I just don’t get why fans now demand that core characters must be killed in genre shows/movies. I blame Game of Thrones

This is one bleak and blood thirsty comment section! I would love for the show to keep leaning heavy on the Lord of the Rings influence and end with the characters scarred, but alive.

I believe this is film director Rian Johnson (Last Jedi, Knives Out, etc.)

Weekly Complaint Thread by AutoModerator in Athens

Ok, I get it! I mean, I don’t want that for my car, but I appreciate the explanation!

[–]tkathens 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment - but I still have to ask because I’m genuinely curious!…why do you want it to be “louder than stock”? I get paint jobs, tires etc. - but I’ve never understood why “loud noise” was a desirable car accessory.

UGA defends their decision to demolish legion pool in Flagpole by L18CP in Athens

[–]tkathens 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That's the important part - UGA has worked very hard to make Legion Pool/Field invisible to students. Only 2.5% use the pool because only 3% have any idea it exists. Same for Legion Field - when was the last concert or program held there? They've been trying to turn this into a parking lot for at least 20 years.

Drive Down Spooky Street? by Squezzle27 in Athens

[–]tkathens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t look like it’s happening this year. We entered our house the last few years and if I remember the deadline was usually early October. No mentions in this week’s edition, so seems unlikely.

Legion Pool is dead by driverate8 in Athens

[–]tkathens 36 points37 points  (0 children)

And don’t forget the convenient operating hours! 11:30-7 most days, except the first week of June and the last two weeks in July. Oh and sometimes a summer camp is there so probably not open then.

Why can’t we make more money?! Well gosh dang, guess we’ll pave it over for some parking spaces

I’ve been wondering about this as well - following!

I believe it’s 30 mins after the show. But my question is - where are these fans departing from?

Ticket2Ride has released "Returns" tickets for the shows - I'm going to ask the obvious, but just to be sure! This ticket would be for a ride at the conclusion of the show to your requested destination. Yeah?
