I really loved season 3. It got surprisingly spooky, and yeah V.M. Varga was unstoppably evil and just WTF. The parallels between this and current events rang true to the point where it was scary and really kicked it up a notch. Yeah, the height of the spookiness (and also one of the best eps) for me was the bus crash/woods/hunting episode. Was definitely venturing into straight thriller/horror territory which is new for the series.

Finished Fargo S3. Had some great moments, but just not quite up there with 1 and 2. But 1 and 2 were brilliant. Varga was one of the most repulsive characters I've witnessed in fiction. Had to look away a few times when he was on screen. The main two cops were sweet and the scene where the faucet turned on for the main one was unexpectedly touching. But yeah, overall it didn't seem to come together and add up to more than its parts. The main theme of truth being simply a malleable tool for those that are capable and willing to use it that way is nauseatingly relevant.

Bill Cosby is a big old rapist (on the loose)
melancholera replied to Rubin Farr's topic in General Banter
As a person who had an immediate family member railroaded by the justice system in America because we didn't have the money to continue to fight in court, this is just . And she's in jail now. It's true. In America, if you're rich, you live by a completely different set of rules.- 798 replies

I'm sure this has been hit on in this thread, but the humidity in Florida (along with anywhere within a few hundred miles of the Gulf of Mexico) is enough drive almost anybody mad. If you haven't been in the area or similar during the summer, it's really kind of hard to give justice to. It's like living in somebody's mouth.

stupid first world achievements and successes
melancholera replied to eugene's topic in General Banter
Re: the alcohol -- I had over 4 months without drinking at the beginning of the year and was doing great but went and picked the habit back up. I have a tendency to drink everything in sight and it's best that I abstain completely. Almost a week today and have less anxiety already. FWP: One of my (less than 2 yr old) JBL LSR305s of the pair won't come on at all. It did this a few months ago but mysteriously started working again so I let it be. FWS: Manufacturer warranty should cover it as long as I can find receipt or have ebay store send me a digital copy.- 5,513 replies

We have similar tastes. At least when it comes to this. Dawn Chorus and EYDIAB are my two favorite tracks by my favorite artist of all time, if I had to pick.

Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)
melancholera replied to Nebraska's topic in General Banter
http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/08/politics/ivanka-sits-in-president-g20/index.html So he had his daughter sit in for him with the most powerful people in the world. "Ivanka was sitting in the back and then briefly joined the main table when the President had to step out, and the president of the World Bank started talking as the topic involved areas such as African development -- areas that will benefit from the facility just announced by the World Bank," the official said, referencing a initiative Ivanka Trump has spearheaded that looks to fund women entrepreneurs." What could possibly be more important that he would need to step out for? And besides that, this is some third-world dictator type shit. I'm not seeing much outrage about this and I would venture a guess that people have outrage fatigue and can't be bothered anymore. Which works out perfect for Trump.- 22,233 replies

Going to give this a try soon. Was never able to get into any other of his albums nearly as much as R.I.P. Just a fantastic, other-worldly record. Some REALLY eerie and emotional stuff in there.

Been watching Forensic Files. There's like 400 episodes of it on Amazon Prime. It's great. I've found an interest in true crime over the last few years which I never had before. Think it was the movie Paradise Lost about the West Memphis Three that kicked it off for me.

I think we may be in for a time skip in S4, possibly right at the start. The finale explicitly stated that we're still 5 years from Breaking Bad ("relaxathon 2003"). Maybe will happen after showing the immediate fallout of Chuck's death.

I originally thought that Chuck was in some sort of catatonic state not knowing what he was doing kicking the table. But the suicide hotline shown during the credits says otherwise. I like the theory that Chuck's condition was triggered by guilt over how he treats Jimmy and his worry over Jimmy. Thus saying what he said to Jimmy ("You never mattered that much to me.") being so cold and horrible triggered an attack that he couldn't come back from. The show has the best depiction of mental illness I've ever seen. One thing that occurred to me too, is that it's likely that Jimmy (and everyone else) will never know that it was a suicide, but will think it was an accident.

Interesting point. It actually might be in HHM's interest to go ahead and settle the case since Chuck is threatening to sue/dissolve/destroy the firm. It could go towards raising the funds to buy Chuck out. And man, that Chuck. Everybody bent over backwards for years to accommodate his condition and he won't think twice about burning everybody to the ground.

The theory I've seen regarding Chuck is that he's trying to get Jimmy to break into his house again (like he did to get the Mesa Verde documents) and get him in legal trouble that way.

Everybody says Parks and Recreation gets better after the first season... And it does. I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be, though.
