When it came out, the exposure of police politics (politics is the management of civil war by another name, right?) was still a novelty… for white people. That’s why it was at the top of the lists of what white people love. The last seven years has moved us closer to the scowl of recognition, but we still have the luxury of not knowing or leaving it at the eyerolling. Sorry.

I know; but still.
There’s not a lot in life that squicks me right the fuck out, but interspecies rape is definitely something that does.
Oh, I get it; the same way I have close friends who can’t/won’t watch BrBa because they’ve personally had to deal with loved ones who were strung out on meth.
When something has a detrimental impact on one’s real life experiences, it’s difficult to see the subject matter as ‘mere entertainment.’

Yup to the up. Though for me it’s schmaltzy big band shit and LaRouchey politics. Apparently I’m good with the alcohol and yelling at strangers.

I started Black Mirror with Series 2, and I enjoyed most of it but I’m okay with not having seen the first couple episodes of Series 1.

I forced myself to want to like that show, but midway through the second season I gave up
The Librarians
What I’ve caught I like
Alias
Worth the time if you have the time. I enjoyed it.
Stitchers
Nope. Don’t even know that name
Once Upon a Time
That could have been two great seasons. Gvae up part way through the second.

I lasted three episodes.
There was nothing bad, in my recollection, just nothing that “popped.”
I only watched the first two eps of season 1;
I think shows like Orphan Black may have ruined me for shows like Alias.
Cool concept; a secret government agency that uses advanced tech to see the last memories of murder victims in order to solve crimes.
Terrible execution.
I only watched the first season because I promised my bestie I would.

The late Reg E. Cathey was a regular on Outcast — I forget if his character was still alive at the end of the most recent season but either way it’s too bad

That uncanny meta-moment;
When you’re watching the most recent episode of Lucifer, and Cain is bitching about how bored he is with immortality because he’s seen and done it all.
And Amenadiel replies;
O.O

Geez, adonai, what’s your damage?
Spell your curse words out!
*lolz
I’d also heard that, but haven’t had a chance to check it out.
I’m kinda afraid to, TBH. I doubt it will measure up to the original…

How does this relate to Tews being a portmanteau?

It doesn’t; that was a non sequitur.
Also I think its more of a pun than a portmanteau; as it’s not a combo of two different words.

I thought puns only used real words.

Southland is amazing, because it has one of my fave actors in it - Regina King being a total badass.

I misunderstood; I thought you were talking about the pilot ep of Black Mirror not ST.

So, my daughter has been interested in this, primarily because Ohgr from Skinny Puppy shows up in it. How is it in general? I haven’t really heard much about it and whether it’s any fun. I just remember the original Teen Wolf movie from when I was kid and how it was kind of campy fun.
That reminds me, here is a completely delightful interview with Ohgr by a young fan of his, which is great, even if you don’t know his music if you got about 13 minutes to waste of a cute kid asking an old school rivet head questions:

I guess? I was honestly curious, lol. You’re the one that corrected me!
Thanks!
