I needed a name one time and I had just read Terry Pratchet's Sourcery, and it was fresh on my mind. The main character--aside from Rincewind--is "Coin". At least, I suspect that's why I picked it. I don't remember making the conscious connection, but I think subconsciously, yeah. And then I used it for WORA, so I figured I'd use the same here so people knew who I was on WORA. I don't switch mostly because people know me here as Coin now.

@Coin and @Three-Eyed-Crow, that is one of my favorite shows ever. I was so bummed that it only lasted a single season. It was absolutely fantastic.
I also liked Veronica Mars, teenager investigator trope though it might be.
Terriers was amazing.
"Leave."
"But--but bab--"
"I said leave."
"Okay."
"... and then come back in through the window."
@BetterJudgment, sometimes the level of student entitlement makes me think all my students are MUers. XD XD XD XD XD

I have two dogs (and a cat, and a cockatoo...). If they're barking I go bring them inside immediately; if they do it at my neighbors for any amount of time I'm embarrassed and want to apologize, not blame them for having the audacity to stand outside their own home while my pets make noise and disturb everyone.
What's wrong with people.
It depends on the person. For example, some people have fucking cockatoos.
People who feel the inexorable need to explain to me why they cannot do something or why they need to call me back, even after I have already said, "Okay, talk to you later!" Dude, I let you go. Go, go do your thing. Do you, man. It's okay. I promise I don't need to know your whole deal.
My life can stop being an emotional and economic shitshow any minute now, thanks.

I watched the first episode, but I didn't continue. I'm basically saving it up for when there's a drought.
It kept growing on me until I couldn't stop watching.
I don't wanna say there's too much great TV these days.. but there almost is. I can't keep up with everything I wanna watch, either. I often just file things away for binge watching when I've got a slow weekend or something.
I hate having to track down which episode I stopped watching on. So I just don't watch until I'm ready to binge. Netflix helps a little because it keeps the spot for you, but not everything I wanna watch is on Netflix.

Foggy is getting annoying. Come on, man, stop with the damn whining. He's Daredevil. He does vigilante stuff. You knew this by now, come on!
Lulz. i don't think I've ever disagreed with you about anything as much as I do this.
Foggy was the real hero of this season. He decided very early he wasn't going to be the "chubby bff" and I loved him the entire season through. What you see as whining is, IMO, actual legitimate critique of a situation and actions that are untennable, and the only one who seems to realize that is Foggy.

@Coin So leave the firm! Report him to the authorities! Cut him off!

Wow, your 'not going to spoil' sure went out the window.
You're wrong, for a bunch of reasons including they are best friends, with a tight, brotherly bond. Stop expecting characters to act with reason and logic that doesn't apply to an emotionally charged situation.
Seriously, this is my biggest pet peeve with people who criticize characters in media: everyone thinks "oh, I would do this because I'm not stupid."
Bitch, please, emotionally charged situations are fucking quagmires and we all do shit that doesn't seem logical to outside observers. If anyone's whining, it's you, because you can't manage to empathize with the only character who is both operating within his moral guidelines and worrying about the people close to him without letting them off the hook for all the dumb-ass fucking shit they pull.
DOUBLEPOST.
P.S. Are you saying that #notallmen isnt' the sort of thing that is distracting and derails a conversation regarding this topic? Because I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is and what it does.

Well, if you are pretty sure then I guess that's the end of the debate.
You're absolutely right. I'm sorry I was vague.
I'm downright fucking positive.

This made me think of you:
Well, I know I'm going to see it, though I dread what its representation of Cuban culture might be.
@Arkandel said in Good or New Movies Review:
@Vorpal What I'm not sure about is how they'll launch the next Avengers movie without having to spend the first hour dealing with the fallout of this one.
There's a reason it's a two volume bonanza, bruv.
@Gingerlily said in Good TV:
@Gingerlily I read -- man, it's hard to remember now. At least four or five of them. There's so many now, and yeah, they're so long. I think it's the last one or two that I haven't read. The show's a delight, though.
In way sadder news, Agent Carter got cancelled and I am heartbroken FOREVER.
So did Galavant.
I don't know what either Agent Carter or Galavant are but if one of your shows got cancelled @Coin it seems like you should try a new one! Maybe...Outlander!
Galavant was a medival comedy musical that you would probably love if you weren't obstinate and tried things I suggest.
@Admiral said in Good TV:
Galavant was 'Medieval Glee'.
Glee sucked. Ergo Galavant sucked too.
Hey, everybody, Admiral doesn't like something and he felt the need to share it.
You can rest assured it is a day ending in Y.
@ThatOneDude said in Good TV:
@Coin RIP Banshee. I also wish they'd had a full last season.
It was only two episodes short of a full season. I don't think the story could have gotten stretched out much further this season, anyway. It was a decent, impactful end. Mothafuckah. </Job>
Man, I'm sad to see Banshee go but it sure did have a good run.
Job was the man! Or...
<Job> Oh, he was a man, honey; just 'cuz you ain't his kinna man don't mean squat! </Job>
@Faceless said in RL things I love:
- Disney Pixar's "Inside Out"
- Freezable teething rings
- Nap time
- Baby Azkaban
- Weird Al's "Word Crimes"

Cat.
Cat decided having less than 30% food in her bowl wasn't acceptable at 4 am. She came and whined at me until I fixed this atrocity.
Then as I was drifting back to sleep she was of course gobbling it up like a fool so, as usual, she threw half of it out again. But that made her feel bad! So she came and whined at me to pet her so she'd feel better... at 4:30 am.
I should surely be sainted since, when I finally managed to get up to my alarm in the morning bleary eyed and stumbling about only to see her blissfully asleep on a couch I didn't wake her up out of pure spite.
I would have.
Teach that furball a lesson.
