Sounds like another battle is a brewing as Syfy just had a commercial where they want you to call Dish so they don't drop the channel.

Dish is why I hate shopping at best buy. Sometimes I go there to get a movie that I don't want to wait to be shipped from amazon. Especially now that Walmart carries poo poo for movies.

But there is always at least one Dish Network representative prowling the area and if you don't get straight in and straight out with your movie, they will approach you. "Can I ask you, are you happy with your television service?"

Turning the light on the darkest places, you and I know we got to face this now. We got to face this now.

I have Dish and I record alot of stuff on Syfy

The Magicians
Z Nation
12 Monkey's
Dark Matter
Killjoys
The Expanse

Also Haven and Defiance which just ended.

Then upcoming shows such as Hyperion and Gateway. Wynonna Earp might be good.

Bad day if Dish dropped em.

Whenever I go to Best Buy for something, I wish I had the problem of there being somebody actually being around, rather than one of the 5 people there not trying to sell an elderly couple a Monster cable for 30 minutes.

Not at all. It's mostly that if I'm there for more than 30 seconds it's because I'm trying to find the movie I'm looking for because they are organized in some terrible method that isn't helpful. And then the person that comes to talk to me isn't able to help me, but they are interrupting my attempt to find the only thing I came into the store for in order to try to sell me something I do not want. Talking to people is just fine. Talking to someone who's motive for talking to me is to sell me something is not a happenstance social interaction with another human being. It is an engineered and literally scripted event of economic predation. And I can't hold it against the sales-person too much because we all have jobs that compromise us ethically and do things we hate in order to survive. So I would much rather avoid the whole situation by not going to best buy. Hence the phrase "...why I hate shopping at Best Buy".

edit: ^see, if it was an employee asking if I was finding everything alright, I could say "actually, I'm looking for such-and-such movie" and that would be helpful. That has never happened.

I hate Best Buy because I'm convinced they purposefully hire the most incompetent people they can find. I've only been in the stores a few times and it's been a nightmare every single time if I actually need to buy something.

Sorry, I forgot I was talking to a goon that can't accept opinions other than his own. My bad y'all.

The show completely falls apart in my opinion because it loses the character dynamic it had in the first three seasons. There's my reasoning.

He is perfect in The War at Home. You can ignore him and one of the worst television shows at the same time. It's very convenient.

I know right, it's almost as if we watched it and realised that it is good.
While nowhere near the best season of community, it is still streets ahead of that one season that was bad.

Someone must have been really bummed about season 5 of arrested development not panning out for this to be a thing. Watching the first episode.


EDIT: I don't even know what genre I'd put this show in. Talk about a flat pilot. :psyduck:

I watched it over the weekend and finished it last night. It is good, but not great. It is a bit weird in parts and has a really weird sort of humour to it. I think I'd say it was a tame version of Californication. Alcoholism, california, 'hippies' and complex relationships with some weird on and off friendships/falling outs. Not as smart of clever as Arrested Development and a very different style of comedy, low key.

Basically, Bojack Horseman but in real life and no animal people. But not as deep, but also starring Wil Arnett.




Also, can a mod give my thread the drama tag? I messed up and of course left it out. Also, sticky it on Wednesdays: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3768320

My instinct is to accuse you of making poo poo up here, but then I recall what Community was like before I quit watching it and I know this is something that really happened in the show at some point.
