Are you enjoying it so far?

A lot of people find the start of Season 2 to be a bit jarring because the focus characters change from S1 but if you know that each season focuses on a different aspect of Baltimore life it makes more sense.

Aw man thinking of Dukie makes me sad.

Yeah it’s good

Not at Breaking Bad levels of good for me just yet but it’s thereabouts

It never really has the heightened suspense or cliffhangers IMO like other shows, just kinda goes along at the same pace.

Absolute cluster* that she was asked (and paid) to be on the show and that the government granted an exemption for her to even arrive.

Yeah, bit hard to defend that one. Should have offered her a job as a removalist.

 

[Quinz]

Favourite characters from the Wire? Thanks for asking- Bubbles, D'Angelo, Hurk and Carver, and I like slimy Levy. Too many to name really.

The removalists got her in the end it looks like

I'm hoping Omar's omission was purely accidental.

Grunching thread

BlackWidow. Predictable and poorly timed. I agree better served as a TV show I actually wouldn't mind if they had movir pr two from the villain POV

As an aside MODOK on Disney+ is worth it btw, RobotChicken style animation Patton Oswald the bad guy trying to win respect)

I drink s**t beer. Deal with it.

Cheese is elite and I'm always down for some cheese/crackers/cabanossi with dip. I was the french onion train but have been branching the last few months since living with the GF.

Vegans I'm indifferent to (would rather just get a beer vs dinner for catching up) but I would say the anti-vegans are catching up on the annoying stakes.

Oh s**t I didn’t know we had Modok here, I know it’s on Hulu in the US but I figured that meant it wasn’t on Disney+.

Trailers looked good, Patton Oswalt is terrific and it seems they’ve figured out the level of seriousness to treat the character for a non-comic audience, eg not very much.

Waiting for DC to try and give Egg Foo a show.

There are a lot of racist characters from that era in comics but he takes the meringue.

End of the group stage in County T20, and Inglis is the top run-scorer with 531 from 14 innings at 175.82 SR.

*looks at the garbage the openers in WI have served up*

Edit: Daz is bloody picky.

That's an awfully long group stage

Yeah it's a bit like a MLB season.

Ya picky bastard.

Found out my grandfather had a stroke yesterday.
This year really is shaping up as the worst year of my life.

Sorry to hear that mate, wish him all the best in his recovery.

Good news squashface some high-roller accommodation has become available at Albany landmark Dog Rock:

Came up on my Youtube, so I thought I'd share a little peak Farnsy. If you ever doubted his vocal talents, 3:30 will fix that for you.

Edit: quality arrangement of a classic song by the way
