I watched episode one and parts of the second episode. It certainly hasn't hooked me, but it is so well-produced and casted that I'll probably keep with it.
TNG did have a good finale, and it occurred to me as well, but they were stand alone episodes largely. But DS9 was a lot like the dramas today with arcing season-long narratives.
I watched the first episode. It was okay. Semi-serious, but some elements seem a bit juvenile. I forgot about the show until I saw your post. Given that it has source material maybe I'll check out the rest of it, but the first episode didn't engage me enough to keep watching.
I did get hired that day, but they're reaction when I called saying I was late was pretty incredulous to the point where they came out to the parking lot to check it out. A horrible day, but with a happy ending.
The car purchase wasn't super wise, but I had gone through a succession of lemons, with the final one, literally exploding at my first interview after law school.
Dude, you guys invest!? My student loans (my own fault for such aspiration) saddles any ability to save (plus car loans); no way any bank should give me mortgage loan, but I bet if I asked, they would be game, predatorily.
Why wouldn't they demote DeJong when Sano comes back? And if they prefer a position player to demote (Cave, Garver, Astudillo, release Adrianza), there's a better rostered pitcher than DeJong...
Castro is supposedly a great framer and at working with the pitching staff; I haven't heard much about Astudillo's defense behind the plate, but that they've played him every where but catcher suggests some concern.
