Okay, that’s comforting. I thought it was like a final episode thing.

One thing that I’ve realized upon rewatching Breaking Bad is that the Breaking Bad I know and love, the one that I rave about, is really just Seasons 4 & 5.
I don’t know a single Breaking Bad fan that watched through the whole show at once. In fact, I would say most people put it down around the middle of the show’s run.
Yeah, Season 2 is boring as fuck. Season 3 doesn’t pick up until halfway through. It’s not exactly the killer drama that the first season and the fans advertised it to be. But the overall story is what keeps me coming back. Walter is our protagonist in almost every season. But in Season 5, he is undoubtedly the villain. I guess the draw of the show is the turn, which you don’t get to without finishing it.
Slow-burn as fuck. Worth finishing.

Okay so I love Mike Schur, but I know the twist of The Good Place and that’s stayed me from prioritizing watching it.
My question to you is, does knowing the twist change some of the comedy for a first viewing?

Yeah the fact that The Office UK is on here and not The IT Crowd just shows they included it due to proximity to The Office US and don’t watch British TV.

Honestly from what I’ve seen of PEN15 it does belong on the list.

Bland.
As someone that pops a few Nickelback and Creed tunes on the playlist every now and then, they’re just bland. No risks taken, no muscles stretched, just generic rock trying to summarize the sound of the decade before it.

“My Hero” is Foo Fighters, “Hero” from Spider-Man is by Nickelback. Or rather, Chad Kroeger ft. Josey Scott.

The original skit is even better. He asks what color a fire hydrant is and the AI dumps out 3 bottles of water and says, “blue.”

In a flash I was sent back, to the moment where it all began, psychically traveling to a gloomy Saturday afternoon in 1988.
I was sitting on the orange velvet couch watching “Catteries Not Included,” when suddenly, an arousingly confident Gadget Hackwrench appeared and asked for my help fixing the ever-beleaguered Screaming Eagle. I don’t know, I acquiesced. And as I handed her the hog ring pliers, her fuzzy digits grazed mine, and in that moment, truly, I was wooooke.

Right, and likelihood of a negative outcome is the limiting factor in this scenario. Weed stays lit and smelly. Pens smell for a second and you can pull it off without suspicion, unlike with a lit cigarette. That’s what OP and I meant by “can” and “can’t.”
May I use the bathroom now?

Okay but the Target CIA aren’t watching you constantly. You absolutely can rip a weed pen in there while walking through.

No idea where you’re located, but in America there are a lot of right-wing religious wingnuts that enjoy street-corner preaching, as it were.
Most of this preaching involves carring signs with a fire-and-brimstone message and yelling about how the passers-by need to repent.
The most famous example would be the

That’s one of those where they became so mainstream that they don’t want to name it, but they definitely make Christian rock.
Apparently, Higher is about lucid dreaming, but he’s also dreaming of biblical Heaven:
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
(Isaiah 29:18-19) Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets
(Revelations 21:21)“My Sacrifice” is about Scott’s struggle with alcoholism, but speaks of a person who gave him love and who he implies he repeatedly reunites with “in their mind.” That’s Jesus bro.
“One Last Breath” drops a capital-H “His grace” referring to God, “With Arms Wide Open” mentions praying, “What If” references Matthew 7:16-17, etc.
It seems quite a few of their songs are “actually” about something else, but totally allegorical to Christian belief. And idk what that makes you other than a Christian rock band.
