I came all the way back to ask how you are getting on with this? I quit after season 5, I just couldn't take it anymore ..I decided to watch Arrow instead. Considering it’s made by the same people, it’s darker than Supergirl and less comedic, although both shows do drift into both territories on occasion.
Two series in, I’ve enjoyed Arrow a lot
I’ve basically got as far as one can on Amazon Prime without paying extra (so I think that is Series 5). I largely on on all right although it got a bit silly in places. I seem to have a higher tolerance for stuff, though, and enjoy stuff other people seem to review badly, so you can’t read too much into my opinions.
Just finished the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix, which I largely enjoyed. I’ll admit to being a bit uncomfortable with it, having grown up in a Christian household. These aren’t your fantasy type Wiccan witches but seem to be fully fledged Satanists with the blasphemy stuff that entails. (To be fair, it’s a real horror take on the idea, and the comic is just as bad in that regard, and the blasphemic stuff is from the POV of specific individuals, not some kind of preachy ‘alternate’ agenda.) That being said I still enjoyed it a lot. It was interesting recognising British actresses, including ‘Missy’ from Doctor Who and the receptionist character from The Office, in a very endearing role.
Currently watching Ash Vs Evil Dead Season 3. As silly and amusing (and sometimes a bit scary, but not all that much) as ever. A lot of fun... but there are a couple of scenes that are just wrong....
The voice in one's mind isn't necessarily logical or correct (and I do realise you're not arguing otherwise).
I've had horrendous panic attacks and paranoia while smoking weed, and have found it sucks away my energy and ambition. On the other hand, I have friends who function perfectly well in everyday life despite being regular smokers. (Indeed, one of Tharg's most talented and well-established script droids regularly posts about the joys of 'magic fags'.) Solution: I'll avoid it, and they can smoke it.
Jim is absolutely spot on about the ridiculous gateway drug argument, and it's something I've argued against for a long time. The silliest thing about it is that I've heard it from hardened drinkers who are oblivious to the fact that they're utterly dependent on a far more serious drug which, due to its legality, they never see in the same light.
Hope my local whs has this. They often stock the Prog. I just found that out recently! Not an issue as I tend to download the digital version.) If its not stocked I’ll likely just go the digital route. They're nice enough, but I sometimes hanker after a physical comic when specials are involved.If not, I can get you one.
Very few of the Doctor's incarnations have had ANY concept of personal space, at least not since No. 4. Squishing their face right up against people and lecturing them is what the Doctor does. Also, she's not a woman any more than that Tardis is a police box: she's a quasi-immortal alien busybody with two hearts, and her power has never been about her physical size. And she knows kung-fu.
