I have a lot of fun bugging economists I know that they are not real scientists since they can assume away anything to fit their model. What did you go for? I myself am a large proponent of the "real sciences" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Sam whining like a little b***h throughout all of Season 8? The finale was hilarious. "I'm just gonna punch you guys to death." "Oh, yeah? Well he's been absorbing god energy!" Also: Dean dying in a situation he's experienced how many hundreds/thousands of times? I can only really accept that in a, 'god gave you plot armor' way, but it still F-ing blows.

TBH, when I would see reruns on TV, it surprises me how melodramatic the entire series is. Clearly, I enjoyed the drama as the show was airing, but the writing/acting is somewhat juvenile when I re-watch some of the series. The first 5 seasons (while the creator was still involved) seem the least soap opera-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 6 seasons total I like to reflect on all the good to great that was The Sopranos. Yes, we got a screen blackout in the end (I really thought my TV set died at a key moment ). But still.

My baked pasta with homemade whole milk Ricotta, fresh Mozzarella, Reggiano Parmesan and Pecorino Romano. Homemade tomato sauce with Italian Sausage. Sordid herbs for flavor and a bit of crushed red pepper for kick. I enjoy this while watching/re-watching THE SOPRANOS, or anytime.

Basically, all the characters in the show are derivative and of no importance and toss aways. There is nothing offensive in this episode, but to me it reinforces how unoriginal and derivative the show is. The writers are not creating anything new, they are just taking ideas and characters from other shows and movies. We have..... 1. Generically BFF who guess what love cloths, fashion, drinking, and hooking people up. 2. We have generic lawer boss. 3. We have parade of generic dumb guys. 4. Yes, Madissyn is generic white party girl. 5. We have over serious lawer women who needs to lose up and be our friend. 6. Over protective dad 7. Stoner dumb brother 8. Safe guy that could be an ally and likes his version of fashion also. 9. Over the top tick tocker 10. Edna Mole or generic prema dona fashion designer. It is just so unoriginal and dull. They have no depth and no developement, just tired old stereotypes. There is not an original thought here, and there is a difference between being light fare and being downright shallow and superficial. Again the court scene and any set up is basically a one and done. It is blatantly there to give her an arch enemy. But it is so shallow.

Disney+ thanks you for watching, they asked me for you to watch again in case you missed something. Please let us know your results. bentbryan and theCapraAegagrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that curiosity kills the cat, but it's just such a waste of time with a lot of this content. It's healthy to have boundaries/limits and stick to them.

But, they literally gave the car keys to a bunch of 10 year olds, who are now driving around town and crashing into things repeatedly. It so hard not to watch. Plus, I did not watch Thor after seeing the reviews and trailers. I have not watched Ms Marvel, Hawkeye, or Moon Knight either. I just so wanted to like She-Hulk. I guess I am still hoping, and keep being disappointed. MR SigS and theCapraAegagrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Ms. Marvel, but the production quality between that show and this one are night and day. The half of Ms. Marvel E1 that I watched had movie-quality VFX. djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
