    I hate it when I start an iRay render and figure out that I forgot the hair or something like that.

    or twenty minutes into the render I notice that the character's blades are going through her head.

    it's a weird kind of depression when a tv show ends or changes radically.

    just wanna sit in the dark and be depressed.  

    It's only a TV show!  The show was good to the end...don't stop just because one character is gone.  Or maybe stop watching these shows altogether, because your reaction is a bit extreme.  It's only a story.  It's only a story.  Keep telling yourself that.  It's only a story.

    I've found that almost any series gets difficult to watch after 2 or 3 seasons.  When I finally discovered "Heros" I loved it and sucked it up episode after episode until I started finding myself struggling to stay interested.  Recurring villains drive me up the wall.  I'd get the "we've dealt with that one, don't drag me through more of the same" feeling.  The writers struggle to up the pressure, to hype the story, to outdo themselves, and they resort to killing off likeable characters, destroying good relationships, dragging out plot lines, and even jumping the shark.  The series has exhausted its premise.  I reach the point where I think "Sorry, but I'm done with you.  Click."  and move on to another series.  My life doesn't depend of the fates of fictional characters.

    Though I said bascially that...I must admit that I was very saddened by the death of Nimoy...but I was more devastated, stunned, when they killed Spock in the second movie!  blush  One does get very invested in the characters when the story is well written and developed.  Of course a real death is much more important thatn that of a fictional character.

    As an aside, there is a real Captain James Kirk in the U.S. Navy.  James A. Kirk.  The lineage has begun!  laugh

    I hate it even more when it's 2 or 3 hours into the render that I spot the problem!

    I find it's not so much that the show sucks, but when they start putting on repeats, I lose track of which episodes are "new" and they get lost in the miasma of "already seen that one"... Gets even worse when the show is on several different channels (for example, NCIS & variants are on at leasst 3 channels here, I've completely lost track of what I've seen & what I haven't...)

    I don't like stuff. Especially getting up at 2:30 am and barfing. I would rather not do that. Feeling better now though.

    Go to the network's website, look up the show, and see the schedule.  They often tell you in the listing what is a repeat/rebroadcast and what is new.  If they're on hiatus, they'll announce when the new episodes will be starting up again...usually.  Lastly, only watch on the main network.  You can find some shows running repeats from several seasons ago...but they aren't on the main network, they're on something like MyTV or one of the other independent channels.  Lastly, do you have cable or FiOS?  If you have a DVR, set a series recording up, and set it to record only new episodes.  I do that.  If it records, it's new...if not, it's a repeat and you haven't missed anything.  Some people like watching repeats, though.  Not me, because I know what's going to happen.  I already have that happen with new episodes quite often, so I really don't like it with repeats.  Diane, though, will sometimes want to watch repeats when there's nothing new on.  She doesn't remember them, anyway, so it's like seeing it for the first time for her.   laugh

    Non-complaint:  OMG, I can see stars in the sky again!  They actually are points of light, not lumpy blurs, and there are lots of them!  OMG! smileycrying

    Picked up my new glasses today.  The cataract surgery  last month cleared up the yellowing discoloration, night blindness, blind spots, and intermediate distance viewing.  And now the new glasses give me close vision and far distant vision and fix the astigmatism in my left eye.  I don't have to guess at distant road signs anymore.  The trees actually do have twigs on each branch, I can see the cross-hatch patterning in the traffic signal lights, I can see the little words on street name signs.  I can read the advertisements in store windows while driving,  I can see house numbers on the houses. OMG!  OMG!  It had been so long, that I'd forgotten what it's like.

    I made a mistake of giving some guy my phone number.  He was asking for pictures that would be against the TOS of these forums.  Told him that I did not appericiate that and guess he is now moving on. That will be good for me and him.

    Probably works in the US, but here, outside the "Main 4" (BBC 1& 2, ITV, Channel 4), series record pretty much picks up everything . Old, new, doesn't care (or more likely the station doesn't care in setting it up) And it breaks easily if something goes wrong on one recording, it's done. Even if you subscribe on the stations "email me when we start a new season" list, they don't bother. (I usually discover a show is on around episode 6 or 7, by which time the first few are already gone from the catchup service - assuming you can find it there - the site navigation for people using TV remotes is universally terrible, and assuming it's even on there cos they didn't pay for the catchup rights.

    (I only get about an hour a day to watch TV, late night after I finish work, so pretty much everything has to be recorded or on Netflix)

    I used to watch "The 100", but series record failed after 7 or 8 episodes in season 1 (naturally I was 7 or 8 weeks behind, co the missing eps were already gone from catchup). They didn't pre-announce season 2, at least not anywhere I'd be likely to see it, so I missed everything before episode 10 at which point I gave up on it. That's typical of most shows for me.
