That’s a really great point.

It worked out just fine for her. Gave him a chance to dig his own grave, which is what he did and what she wanted.

All files are made up of “text”, or rather, numbers. How each program interprets those numbers differs depending on the kind of work they do. Any program can open any file, but the way it translates those numbers won’t make any sense if the file wasn’t intended to be opened by that kind of program. So, if you opened an MP4, you might see a little bit of metadata that was encoded in a way the text editor can understand, and then you’d get a ton of random symbols, some that are numbers and letters you recognize, but a lot of them would be specialized characters from farther on in the list of characters whatever font is being used might have.

Think of it this way: take two human languages that use the same writing system, like German and French. Suppose you ask a Frenchman who also speaks English to translate and write down a few specific sentences. You then take those sentences to a German who also speaks English (but not French) and ask her to translate it into English. Obviously she can’t. She might be able to sound out the words, but neither of you will know what it means, and it probably wouldn’t sound right to a French speaker. Or better yet, you can ask her to try and guess what each word means. She’d likely come up with mostly nonsense (minus a few cognates and loanwords). This isn’t an exact analogy, but that’s basically what’s going on.

The first 2-3 seasons are great. And that’s because it’s excellent characters in an unusual situation with just a splash of mystery/paranormal. The end of the show sucks, because they wrote it like they knew where it was leading, but they didn’t. The big reveals are very unsatisfying. Would have been better if they just ended it with no answers and let it develop organically instead of shoe-horning a “this is what it was all leading to” ending into it.

Just rewatch the last season. That’ll cure you.

I was thinking a nice golden throne. More appropriate for a god-emperor.

If only!

God damn it, I shouldn’t laugh but…

Excellent! So immersive!

Where’s the dedicated DRADIS monitor?

Huh. Yeah it’s at -5 over here. Interesting…

Well I thought your joke was funny, but I’m a sucker for pedantry.

“Hobbit Bukkake” new band name I call it!

I think autocorrect got your “compromised”.

Unless they are themselves Jewish…

Yeah but the first season of most shows, especially sitcoms, is usually rough. If it feels like it has any potential at all, I think you should give it at least a second season.

Whatever happens we have got the maxim gun and they have not

Yeah but it’s not some big mystery why Margaritaville sucks. The lyrics are asinine and empty. What’s worse: it’s catchy.

I’ve never been able to watch past Rita dying. Colin Hanks as a villain sounds amazing, but whenever I get to her death it just feels too shitty and I can’t bring myself to start that season.
