OT: Off Topic Thread-For the Love of Pets

[TD Charlie]

I watched a few episodes when it first started and wasn't hooked. I've seen a few here and there and wish I stuck with it. If its all available on demand I may try to get caught up marathon style

Breaking Bad is on my list of shows to watch, but I've got a few ahead of it. Currently, we're nearly through season 2 of The Walking Dead, and I can't wait to get all caught up before it kicks off the new season in October. That show is fantastic.

Good luck. I love that show but it's all over the place.

Season 1 was amazing. Really good action, and still good stories with the characters (it got better as they killed off the non-core people and had more time for the important ones). Season 2 was slow. Painfully slow. Two things saved it; the barn, and the tension between Rick and Shane. Season 3 is a lot like the first season IMO, and they do a great job of making even the filler episodes entertaining, when the only purpose in 47 minutes is for one character to bring up a new question or something equally minor. I can't wait til it starts up again.

Yeah, the search for the little girl dragged on for a long time in season 2, but other than that, I've really dug it. Plus, how hard core was it how they wrapped up the barn and Sophie story lines? I'm still amazed at how it all went down.

I just started them last July. Wasn't impressed, Walked away.

Was told to stay with it. Glad I did.

Here is the little secret, the show was not great for a while. Season 1 is meh, season 2 was okay, season 3 was good, and season 4 is one of the greatest things ever.

Season 5 has been really good.

The one thing that has been genuinely awesome from the get-go is the acting. Cranston and Paul alone are worth watching.

I think its the best show on TV. Great acting and great direction.

Black Sabbath tonight. Wooohoooo.

I already hate today and it's not even half over yet.

I was an idiot and read a spoiler on the Sophia search, but it was still bad ass.

There are a couple more even better parts to season 2 that you'll be getting to very shortly. They ramped it up something fierce for the last few episodes.

Well, at least it's not only 9:30 there like it is here.

I've only got one more episode in season 2. The last one with the big showdown between Rick and Shane was crazy, but what they had happen to Dale the episode before was just insane. I really love how they have very little allegiance to any character, and you truly never know who's turn it's going to be to get axed. I accidentally read a couple of spoilers on season three, so I'm trying to avoid any more, so I don't wreck anything else.

Been to Chicago a couple of times. Had pizza from Lou Malnati's and it was just meh. Not really all that impressed, despite the hype. Best place I ate in that town was Gibson's Steakhouse. The funniest part of that is that's the bar the guys from The League all supposedly hang out in.

That's been the best moment in the show for me so far. The way they built the tension for basically two full seasons was great, almost to a point it became real, like you could picture two best friends going down this path. Once Shane went off the deep end the whole story between those two really took off. Epic finale too.

What spoilers did you see for S3?

I considered making the trip to see the Shining and Room 237 at the Brattle, but I have a crazy week in front of me so I really can't.

 

[Artemis]

Off to Salem/Gloucester tomorrow for a couple of days. Any must-sees and/or restaurant recommendations?

 

[EverettMike]

Lou Malnati's was the best pizza I ever had.

And The Walking Dead is an amazing looking show that has some of the dumbest writing ever in television history.

My favorite parts of season two were Rick stepping up and putting an end to the Sophie piece, and then Shane asking Otis how many bullets he had left when they were running off from the walkers while getting the meds for Carl. Him turning and blasting Otis in the leg so he can get away was so badass. I'm really sorry to see him go.

I was reading a story about them getting ready for the next season and they dropped a spoiler about Rick's wife, and I know that a couple of other long timers get the gate as well, but I don't know when or how.

I personally didn't think it was anything special. It was on par with a lot of other deep dish pizzas I've had at various places.

hot pink glitter - and no, I'm not kidding. Such a summer color.

I'm jealous. I wanted to go so bad.

 

[EverettMike]

It was way lighter (on top of being way tastier).

I don't really like the normal type of Chicago deep dish. Like Giordano's. It was just a block of cheese. We got a small and still gave half of it to the guys working the doors at the hotel.

Black Sabbath tonight. Wooohoooo.

with Ozzy? Awesome anyway....

Yeah, with Ozzy. No Bill Ward on drums, sadly, but all the other original members. SO stoked.I leave work in about an hour to pick up a friend I have not seen in 3+ years and take him with.

Reggie's Rock Club in the South Loop is one of the coolest club's I've ever been to. I always recommend it when people go to Chicago.

Trattoria #10 is really good Italian food in a city that does Italian pretty well. It's on Dearborn in the Loop. Pequod's pizza is excellent stuff....they have a couple locations but the one I've been to is in Lincoln Park.

Frankly, you could spend all your time in Wrigleyville and find good stuff for everything you're looking for; food, bars, shopping, entertainment.

Have fun and congrats.
