    Since no one else has said it, I want to recommend “Dark.” It’s German, so subtitled unless you watch it dubbed, but oh shit what a lengthy ride

    I wish I could erase my memory of House M.D. and watch that masterpiece all over again. There isn’t a shitty episode. Not one.

      One thing always pained me about that series. I know it’s whole thing was that every episode followed pretty much the same formula, but I wish they had one episode that was just House working in the clinic for a day and diagnosing like 40 patients in a row. We get a few small scenes when he has to spend a few hours there dealing with the general public, but they’re few and far between.

        Season 3, episode 12 (“One Day, One Room”) is probably the closest to that.

        It isn’t all House in the clinic, all the time, but I think he only works clinic cases in that episode.

      House MD is a great show, and I partially identified with House at the time I viewed it. Now, more spiritually inclined and aware that the world is an illusion and is ultimately dependent on the entanglements created through intention-setting, I see House much like my father; very logically-oriented but missing the point. There are more complex systems than what the universe presents as it’s empirically-defined system. The universe is a divine clock, alright, but therein, there is greater complexity at play that bestows each of our parallel-generated experiences. We are not featherless bipeds on an Earth, but rather each of us is a unique pocket of consciousness that is procedurally generated based on intention-setting, and our intentions are reconciled with countless others to generate the realities most likely to wake us up to this process, and my awareness piqued twelve years ago and I speal from gnosis of having followed the whispers of God; logic (Adam) is only half the equation, and our intuition (Eve) will understand reality truly before that which House defined his life by.

        On a scale of Martha Stewart to Snoop Dogg, how high are you right now? Im at least a Weird Al interviewing Snoop/Dogg but im still having trouble following you.

    Stargate SG1.

    if you drink while you watch it, you can rewatch it as many times as you want and you’ll always find something new.

        what would have qualified as a ‘good’ ending to Mr. Robot for you? i prefer a series that accomplishes its narrative intent within a few seasons, then bundles its loose ends up nicely and concludes, rather than one that persists indedinitely for no good reason.

          Mr robot lost me in like season 2 or 3. Can’t remember, but it felt like it went off the deep end compared to the setup in season 1

      Pirating old TV was just a storage commitment for that. Crazy that over time the file size got larger but it’s less of a problem

        I could get half a season of Friends on a written CD with divx. I’d say the bottleneck was the DL speed for that era.

            Ahhh, now I understand your problem. You’re a datahoarder! Yeah, it kinda sucked to collect media back in the day. In the early 00’s I had a neighbour who collected mp3s - he didn’t care what type of music it was, he just collected 'em. I didn’t understand at the time, but now I see he was a budding archivist.

              Indeed! Just not a very good one.

              And yeah It’s crazy the stuff that’s becoming unavailable over time. Luckily music is a little more preserved and available than a lot of film

                Yeah, but you gotta learn to love the bomb. After they stole my laptop and backup drive (only had 1 backup, silly me), I became disappointed in local storage. When they killed liveleak, I knew the adage ‘the internet remembers’ was hollow and only the short-term memory thrives, if that.

                From what I gather, hoarding music, movies and newer tv shows for preservation is unnecessary, but if you come across an old TV casette recording of a broadcast TV show, digitize it and upload it to Anna’s Archive.

                Good luck honing your hoarding skills. I too prefer local copies. Who wants to sit through buffering?
