  1. Hmmm, I thought I recalled it failing Jack a few times too. Those seasons all sort of blur together now.
  2. Same. Not to mention sometimes things do start when I expect them to and other times they don't. Maybe I just haven't figured it out, but last night forced me to realize that the DVR must now be my best friend at all times. I can't just hope to remember at a given time and day.
  3. I missed it as well, damn west coast time zone.
  4. Plus it frequently portrayed right-wing thinking as flawed on torture and a host of other things.
  5. Yeah, I'm with Mike. I thought it was entertaining. If the show ends up having all those plot threads turn out the way you describe nick, then I'll be disappointed as well. But some of the appeal with me is I really did love the show way back when. I'm going to give it a shot and see if they can't surprise me. I can always bail if it doesn't continue to entertain me, but those are all valid criticisms/concerns.
  6. Westworld was great. Other than The OA I've enjoyed just about every show I've invested time into this year. So far the new 24 has promise too.
  7. I suspended disbelief for most of the first seven episodes. And I was ok with that, there was enough to like to do so, but the ending was so "WTF is even happening!", so out of tone with the rest of it, so unsatisfying I couldn't possibly endorse to anyone. (Unless, out of some desire to punish themselves, they really want to feel how blindsiding the last hour is.) There was just a real lack of narrative and tonal consistency overall and the last hour lit that problem on fire and danced on it. (Literally)
  8. Is he actually good at it though? Sure, it's his primary position, but from what I've read he's hardly shown wizardry there. If you've got a .600 OPS, you better be a wizard.
  9. Yeah, I don't know how it came to be, but Noah is using the character to tell a story and they are just using the X-men universe to tell it. But Fawley's two years on Fargo have sold me on him. He's simply one of the best writers on television. I love his combo of whacky, profound, consistent and his ability to pace a story. I'm absolutely counting the days until I get to see this show.
  10. My wife and I hated it. The last episode was a total ****-show. It built an interesting premise (if drawn out and full of plot holes), but quickly it became apparent they had no satisfying conclusion to the mystery they started to tell. And then not only didn't they just settle for an unsatisfactory conclusion, they went straight to "WTF is happening right now?....I spent 8 hours for this!?!" territory. Just our two cents.
  11. Agreed, I'd watch it anyway for X-nostalgia, but with Noah Fawley attached? That's a dream come true. Only thing that could make it better is if it was centered on Magneto or something, but i'm guessing he has something absolutely awesome planned with this.
  12. I hadn't even noticed that, good catch. There are times to be vanilla and conservative and this team kept going for a jugular it already had firmly in it's teeth.
  13. Right, they could have lost 3 yards on both run plays, still kicked a field goal, and be celebrating today. That and the 3rd and long, play action deep play call was terrible. On your own side of the field, with 7 minutes and up by 16....why the hell take that chance? You had to give it to them to lose it, just to give it to them. And I agree about game quality. The last 7 minutes were pretty awesome, but the previous 53 sucked.
  14. I'm pretty hyped for it. And the fact that Fox thew like 12 slots behind it tells me they believe in it too. Let's make the X-men great again!
  15. In case you missed it (somehow), Legion in 2 days
  16. Yeah, none of the commercials did anything for me. I was already hyped about GoTG 2 and Stranger Things 2, they were fun, but I'm already sold. And yeah, I don't understand Gaga's appeal. Or why I should be more than "meh" about that halftime show.
  17. A deep shot on 3rd and 1 up by 16? Absolutely stupid play call. Shanahan is lucky he already has a job lined up.
  18. Right, at the very least we should be looking back at this and asking why the university now feels like doing an almost 180 from what one department determined. If there is going to be such a stark difference between fair due process and Title IX, shouldn't we have some hard questions about what, how, and why the decision by Title IX was determined in the first place? I sure as hell do.
  19. You're right, probably not the end of it. Where did you read that her story changed again? The real shame here is that the four players who had, at best, tangential involvement in the actual act were dragged into the paper as if they were also perpetrators.
  20. Some final fallout from the scandal: http://www.twincities.com/2017/02/03/gophers-winfield-jr-says-hes-been-cleared-in-school-sexual-assault-case/
  21. Single? He made a hard turn around third for an inside-the-park HR!
