Swad sweet lime pickle. It was brilliant with pork tamales and salsa verde. My imaginary ex went through a jar on its own while I was in Florida. I haven't tried the hot pickle yet, but sriracha is doomed, hipsters.

Anyone know when this hits Amazon Prime Video?

Whoa, whoa.  You guys liked this ending?  In my opinion, that ending was the biggest "Fuck you" to the viewer since Dallas' dream season.  The whole damn show was about two things: (1) whether 2008 or 1973 was reality, and (2) whether Sam was going to choose to live his new life in 1973 or return to his old life in 2008.  That ending basically said, "Joke's on you!  NEITHER 'reality' was real."  It then proceeded to completely take Sam's choice out of his hands.  Yes, he said he wanted to stay in 1973 on the phone, but that wasn't even an option.  I think that ending was an insult.

I loved the BBC ending.  I thought this one was an absolute joke, and completely threw out the entire point of the series in exchange for a "bet you didn't think of THIS" moment.

How did the BBC one end?

SPOILERS:







Sam basically abandons his 1973 gang in the middle of a gunfight to return to 2004.  When he gets there, there's a great scene where he's at a meeting and doesn't realize that he's stabbing himself in the finger with a pen, to the point of making himself bleed.  When he sees this, it reminds him of a time in 1973 when Annie slapped him and said, "Can you feel that?  Then, it's real."  He goes to the roof of the precinct and throws himself off.  He wakes up back in 1973, and helps the gang out of the jam they were in.  Presumably, he spends the rest of his time in 1973, while back in a coma or dying in 2004.  It was a terrific ending, in my opinion.

I remember this series and watching it to the end. Maybe I'll watch it again sometime, but it seems like literally no one else remembers it?

Good sendoff for Michael. Funny and not overly sappy. I thought Ferrell was hilarious in his first episode but he has gotten decreasingly funny since then.

Agreed. I was worried they were going to go over-the-top sappy with it, but it was well done.

However, the ending tag with Will Ferrell was so terrible I wondered if it was intentional, meant as meta-commentary (with Dwight looking at Jim and saying, "Oh no") on everyone saying that the post-Michael Office will suck.  Unfortunately, I don't think it was.

Uh, maybe it was, though....?

Season 1 was funny and good. It got less good.

It stinks

Season 4 starts sometime. I saw the trailer. Looked pretty good. Chris Rock is in Fargo and gonna be in a Saw movie. Good news for fans of those franchises.

It stinks

Just discovered this on Nexflix. If one doesn't mind subtitles but enjoys the notion of an espionage training course, it hits the spot.

I mind, buddy. Oh, I mind a lot.

Gimme another suggestion.

Man, how bout that Henry Cavill, thou!

I'm probably late to the party but I'm about a third of the way through this book having picked it up with precisely zero knowledge of what it was, and what it was about.  As with "The Truman Show", had I heard anything about it before I started it, I probably wouldn't have bothered - but now I've begun I don't seem to be able to stop.

Has anybody else read it?  Please tell me it doesn't fizzle out...

Wrong thread.  This was a movie.

It can be two things

So, now you want me to read a book?  Nice try, bub.  I did not read books THEN and I do not read books NOW and I will not read books LATER.

I heard this book has a sequel. They need to make the sequel book a sequel movie.

Guys that were acquired as free agents count as 13th round picks, correct?

Yep. 13th.

Bump.

It's on again. Someone tell me what round the undrafted free agents slot into? 12th? Yeah, I know I ask this every year. Well, you guys don't even come here anymore, so lay off.

Edit: I think it might be the 13th round.

This movie would've been awesome without Whedon's involvement.  Snyder cuts of Man of Steel and BvS were awesome.  Joss Whedon should stick to the dubba yuh B.  He sucks.
