I'm downloading Breaking Bad S04E01 RIGHT NOW.

[Flack]

That's like saying, "what's the big deal about Luke and Leia being brother and sister? I knew it all along!" because you watched Return of the Jedi before you watched the original Star Wars (A New Hope).

Don't go all "Red Car Commandos" on me and say it's not the same, because it is.

No it is not the same; the fucking episodes of the Star Wars movie series are numbered, asshole. In case you haven't noticed, the original Star Wars is now always identified as "Star Wars IV: A New Hope." There's no indication on the broadcast of Breaking Bad as to which episode is in which order.

My brother gave me the first two seasons of Hill Street Blues for Christmas, I just got around to watching them, and they're actually pretty good (I never really watched the show much when it it originally ran). They're dual-sided DVDs, and unless you look closely at the tiny edge label that says whether it's disc 1, 2 or 3 you could end up watching the episodes out of order; there is no indication on the episode as to its position in the series.

There are six TOS Star Trek movies, all numbered, but none of the original show episodes are. It's not the same, and you should have known better.

having a rough day?

The title of this thread contains the phrase "S04E01", which means Season 4, Episode 1. So they ARE numbered, ASSHOLE.

If you used the Internet for anything other than posting videos, being rude to people here, and bragging about the fact that the bar to become a notary public is so unbelievably low that they let YOU become one, you would have looked up the episode list online, ASSHOLE.

So go notarize THAT.

And the day you tell me ANY FACT about the Star Wars universe that's in your head that I don't already know is the day I will personally drop my drawers, bend over in front of your little scooter, and let you fuck me in the ass with a strap on dildo attached to the stupid fucking bucket you mount on the front of your scooter.

I hope every pizza you ever order for the rest of your life comes uncut.

A. Best of.

Tdarcos, do you have a favorite episode of Hill Street Blues you'd recommend to someone (me) who has never seen the show?

[Tdarcos]

Except, Imbecile, THEY DON'T SHOW THOSE NUMBERS WHEN BROADCASTING THE SHOW!

Why don't you do the world a favor and kill yourself before you reproduce and spread your defective genetic material? Oh, wait, too late, you'd need to kill your kids, too.

Stop assigning me blame for something I have no knowledge of. Oh. and as far as doing research on a TV show I'm watching that's not my responsibility, nor is it necessarily likely I'm going to discover the episodes ran in a different order.

Let's just drop the whole issue. I'm going on to something much more interesting and useful, a discussion of my bowel movements.

Your ignorance knows no boundaries, Flack. You're saying I should have looked up the episode list. Well, if you had bothered to read what I have said, I have repeatedly pointed out I have a power wheelchair, not a power scooter. I have never once used the word "scooter" with respect to my mobility aid.

If you had bothered to do a little research on line, you'd have discovered that only a scooter has a bucket on the front of the control stick, a power wheelchair uses a joystick mounted on the arm of the chair and cannot have a bucket mounted in the front of the chair.

Also, a scooter can be locked with a key because often they're used by people as an assist, they can walk but not long distances, and the person might be away from the scooter for a period of time. Power wheelchairs generally do not have keys because the users typically can't walk and usually don't get out of them when out on the road, except perhaps to move to a different seat immediately next to the chair.

If someone is to continuously sit in a chair, even a soft one, for a few hours, it can sometimes help to relieve pains from sitting too long by switching to something different. Occasionally when outside I'd move from my power wheelchair, with a soft cushion seat, to one of the granite benches used for people waiting in the station for the Metrorail train. (You can't do it with bus benches; they've put these nasty raised steel tubular separators on the sides of the seats to keep people from using the bus bench as a sleeping place. This makes it extremely difficult for a handicapped person to slide onto said bench.)

See, if you want to raise stupid issues of unnecessary research we can probably all come up with examples where someone here said something sounding stupid because of their own failure of research.

Tdarcos, do you have a favorite episode of Hill Street Blues you'd recommend to someone (me) who has never seen the show?

Hard to say, the episodes are all very entertaining. I've been bored in a few minor places where a not-very-interesting story arc goes on too long, but typically I find the show excellent.

It's hard to say what's the most interesting segments. Two cops go to investigate a domestic dispute, and come back to find their patrol car was stolen. You realize how things have changed, the cops back then didn't have personal radios, only the radio in their police car, and we occasionally see a cell phone used in the show by the hostage negotiator, it's got a standard handset like that on a typical desk phone, and it's the size of a briefcase. (A slightly better one was seen in the movie Lethal Weapon where Danny Glover is carrying a briefcase-sized one but the handset has a Touch-Tone keypad on the back.)

The pilot episode of HSB is quite interesting, where the hard-nosed precinct captain Frank Furillo is constantly in fights over improper arrest procedure with the even harder-nosed public defender Joyce Davenport, and then at the end of the episode, we discover that the two of them are secretly lovers. (It might be considered a conflict of interest for them to be known to be involved with each other.)

Probably the funniest one was where the police are required under the city's contract with the sewer cleaner's union to, once a year, inspect the sewer system for alligators. The guy assigned to lead this operation is Sgt. Hunter, a gung-ho militaristic type who'd probably think the NRA is too soft on guns and hasn't seen a weapons system he didn't like or wouldn't want to have. Two cops buy a half-size remote-control alligator, sneak it down one of the manholes, then release it heading for Hunter's men. Hilarity ensues as we can hear the echoes of automatic gun fire being used on the fake alligator approaching them. The two cops, in hysterics, close up the manhole and get the hell out of the neighborhood.

Then there's the episode where Sgt. Hunter has been given authority to test out a $6 million urban assault vehicle, but when he parks it during a lunch break, messes up and runs over two cars in a parking lot. He forgets and leaves the keys in the ignition when he and his men go for lunch, so the vehicle (a small tank) is stolen and ends up in the East River, stripped and gutted.

Well, if you had bothered to read what I have said ...

Sadly, that was my only mistake. Typically I view your posts as the forum's speed bumps, something I have to slowly scroll past to get to the rest of the forum content. If any mistake was made, it was that I didn't scroll past your drivel faster.

I'm going on to something much more interesting and useful, a discussion of my bowel movements.

Spoiler alert: all your posts remind me of bowel movements.

Since you're clearly an asshole, all of your posts are bowel movements! (Zing!)
