I got the impression he is not at all reacting
9:06 am
hurshy
somewhere over the rainbow... way up high... will doc see babblers' messages, or is he a busy guy?
9:07 am
hokie carla
yeah, he did come on one day and said he wasn't getting the emails but some went through which is how he found out we were down the latest time.
9:07 am

9:30 am
hurshy

9:31 am

Netflix is supposedly releasing the air date and a trailer for the final season of "Stranger Things" later today. Personally I am a little bored by how long it has taken for that to air. They finished filming it in December.
10:15 am
hurshy
yeah they had said it won't be til fall
10:17 am
MollyL
For me, each season of the show has gotten less and less interesting.
10:18 am
hurshy
really? i've thought it's gotten better and better
10:18 am
leighprefect
@Molly, I would expect the special effects would have been the cause of the delay between filming and release, but I've been up and down on the show as well
10:18 am
Atalante
I couldn't even wade through season 1
10:19 am
MollyL
I'll watch it, but I am not looking forward to it. I am looking forward to the final season of "The Bear" next month though.
10:19 am
Atalante
why would you watch something you're not looking forward to
10:19 am
hurshy
to find out what happens
10:19 am
bichon
I watched the first 3 seasons, then it was no longer interesting to me.
10:20 am
hurshy
i have kept watching shows just to find out what happens. charmed, for one, and manifest for another.
10:20 am
MollyL
Season 4 was pretty bad.
10:20 am
MollyL
I had to bail on Manifest. That just got nonsensical after a while.
10:20 am
Atalante
thats what asking other people is for, I don't have tie to waste watching something I don't care about
10:21 am
hurshy
manifest was such a good IDEA for a show and then so poorly executed. the last episode where it was supposed to be the dramatic high of the entire show actually made me laugh out loud instead.
10:22 am
MollyL
Once I have invested in a story, I usually stick with it until the end. Unless it goes totally off the rails. And I agree with what Hurshy said about Manifest. It had great potential and crappy execution.
10:22 am
hurshy
the humans all link arms against the angel of death and tell it to go away, so it does. yeah, that's totally what the ANGEL OF DEATH would do.
10:23 am
Atalante
you've clearly got too much time!
10:24 am
hurshy
we're not all jetsetting researchers
10:24 am
MollyL
Finding out how Manifest ended made me very glad I bailed on it. That and finding out THE BIG SECRET in The Black List, which was also laughable. And thanks for the condescending remark about too much time.
10:24 am
bichon
I've been watching the last season of Handmaids Tale
10:25 am
Atalante
you're welcome! as you make condescending remarks to the rest of us, I thought it maybe fitting
10:25 am
MollyL
The premise of that story made me bail. Watching that first scene of the three of them in bed was too gross.
10:25 am
ivesyj
who has too much time atalante?
10:25 am
Atalante
people who watch programmes they don't seem to enjoy
10:27 am
ivesyj
have to watch to see if hey like them . its like a book. have start reading it to see if you like it some people finish others dont. same with a tv program. doesnt mean they have too much time
10:27 am
MollyL
Well then, my apologies to the others who were included in the snide comment made just for me.
10:27 am
hurshy
no but we've been talking about when we keep watching AFTER we stop liking it, ivesy
10:28 am
ivesyj
no apology necessary molly.
10:29 am
ivesyj
mb human nature hursh lol. i stuck with mainifest until they cancelled it. then when it came back i tried again lol. but just had to see how it ended
10:29 am
hurshy
now charmed, they didn't know if they were going to get an 8th season, so they ended season 7 in a way that was good in case it was cancelled. but then the ending they came up with for season 8 was nowhere near as good as the ending of season 7. they should've just not done that last season.
10:29 am
hurshy
that show was definitely my guilty non-pleasure for a long time. it regularly drove me nuts.
10:30 am
Atalante
noone else was included, molly
10:30 am
ivesyj
seems atalante is trying to start an arguement
10:30 am
Atalante
no, just being fed up with Molly's constant attitude
10:31 am
ivesyj
yours isnt much better it seems. now you can add me to your list
10:31 am
hurshy
nobody seems their best when they are annoyed, ivesy
10:32 am
