Any Wheel of Time fans? Season 2 just wrapped up on Amazon, I thought it was excellent and a huge improvement over the covid-mangled first season. I appreciate how they managed to catch the story up to almost exactly where the 2nd book left off without having to gloss over too much. I find there is a lot of 'show first, explain later' and it works. Also mommy Lanfear please walk on me

My condolences to you and your family.  I can unfortunately relate... my brother passed away on Sunday (some may remember him from here & the old OB forum as Taynted_Fayth) so we're also trying to figure out how to hold a service.  Not the easiest thing to do at the best of times.

I'm torn on how I feel about this.  The original show was great, and the whole idea of the series playing out as a 5 act play was very different for the time when it came out.
I will probably watch it, but I have a hard time believing that new actors can live up to the characters in the original.

Ted Lasso is fantastic.  Probably the most optimistic  and pleasant show I've watched in awhile.
 

Really like the design with the split sleeves. Not a fan of the colour scheme - at all. Too much gray, making it way too drab.
So much better with more colour, IMO.

The fixed location lent itself to having to actually do some character development rather than relying on the alien of the week. 
They rubbed some dirt on the series which was much needed. AND it totally redeemed the ferengi and made them a race that was actually interesting and not just a pathetic joke. 

Best Star Trek crew is Deep Space Nine. The characters are terrific. Got a little too religious for me at times but other areas make up for it. The back & forth tete a tete between Sisko & Gul Du Kat, Bashir & O'Brien's friendship, Bashir's fixation with Garek being a member of the Obsidian Order & might be spy on board the Space Station. Quark & Odo supposed hatred of one another turning into a friendship with one another even though neither wanted to admit it. Well written & acted. The best series of the bunch. 

Gut punch. Any of us that grew up in MB during the 80s...Dale was The Man. Easily one of the greatest Jets of all time, and one of Manitoba's all time favourite athletes. Awful news, and as mentioned, F*** Cancer. 

They have staggered lunch breaks and social distancing is enforced.  They also have dividers setup too so close contact with others during their breaks is limited as much as possible.  Masks are worn at all other times and you get your temp taken before you can even enter the plant.  Anyone with symptoms gets sent home or isn't allowed to come to work until they get tested.  Up to this point no covid cases can be traced to someone actually catching it at Maple Leaf.  But with 2000+/- employees there was always going to be a chance there would be outbreaks outside of work.  Outbreaks from people carpooling to work, working part time jobs together at places that don't enforce distancing and mask wearing, having backyard parties over the long weekend and then testing positive a week later, flying back from Montreal and hanging out with friends instead of self isolating, etc.  Can't speak for other parts of the province but we got pretty complacent here in Westman.  Now we're paying for it.

Very NSFW but man...I feel this guy 
 

iirc Ogre becomes one of the Nerds so ...

Can sympathize.  Had a speech impediment, growing up.  Couldn't pronounce a number of basic vowels.   Not everybody can be that understanding, at times.
Fortunately, I am now tremendously articulate.   At least on paper.....

Just Finished watching the Good place.
Solid series with a solid series finale. Couldn't have asked for more from that show.
 

Just got to my hotel in Orlando. Cruise was excellent.  Lots of fun, lot and lots of alcohol.  I think my liver has onions, now. Cruise set sail from Miami with a Fozzy concert to kick off the festivities.  Followed by un-televised aew matches. Sat front row for Talk is Jericho podcast featuring the nWo. Unfortunately,  nash and xpac both canceled.  Scott hall and Eric bischoff discussed a lot about the formation of the nWo and how it all came together. DDP and booker T were on the panel to talk about what wcw was like for the guys outside the nWo.  And Jericho as well. It should be up on spotify soon. Waters were very for this cruise.  Wives went to bed sea sick. My buddy and i proceeded to get hammered.  Rode the elevator up to the bar with scott hall. Really cool guy.
Day 2 was the aew taping. The boat docked in the Bahamas.  We didn't get off. Wives were still sick and decided they didn't want to stand for 8hrs to secure our ringside standing spots, so we opted for second level spots with a great view and chairs. Met some great people. There were 2 24/7 titles floating around. I held both for a few minutes before losing to small children.  Gotta get a better ground game. Also went to Talk is Jericho Featuring jake the snake. Really interesting.  The man is very open about past indiscretions and doesn't hold back. He's an excellent storyteller and i recommend listening to that podcast. 
Day 3 we checked out Light the Torch,  Howard Jones from Killswitch Engage's new project.  Im a metal guy, so i really liked them. Also saw Farewell to fear, a hard rock group from new Orleans,  also very good.  Watched more wrestling on the main deck. Probably saw my favorite match ever. Private Party vs Jurassic Express.  The boys have a lot more freedom on the boat and really flexed some comedic muscle. My sides hurt after the match from laughing so hard.
Day 4 was pretty chill.  Went to a few signigs and photo sessions.  Got bored of that and went to the hottub. Hung out with ref Aubrey.  Super nice girl. Saw a couple comedy shows too. Bruce jingles sucks. Craig gass is awesome. Missed gabriel Iglesias. Watched the final matches on the boat. Cody gave a nice promo thanking the fans. Drowned our sorrows in alcohol because we knew it was almost over. 
All in all, it was great. We'll book again.  Any questions,  ask away.

13/20. I have brought great dishonour to my house. 😀

I don't think anyone is calling kevin Smith's movies art... but his older stuff anyway was at least good for laughs, which really is all I ask from a comedy.

Even if we put Niku on the fourth line and spot him on our powerplay it would be an upgrade...but no Maurice is gonna take his time inserting Niku... we already have a vaunted 4th line and a 6d that leave other teams drooling ,what's the hurry?

Spiderverse was visual candy, I haven't been as dazzled by the visuals of a movie since Speed Racer.
And yes I said DAZZLED
