Members on their fifth account always have the cleanest of records.

Of course, that's the Golden Standard. 5th account is the charm.

This has to be fake, right?

I believe so. Israel relations is important to her, she wouldn't say that.

@Limbo Pete I'm real butthurt you didn't respect my poem in the 300+ page thread of tardedness.

Wait I missed a poem

Wait I missed a poem

yes yes you did

There once was a poster named Mescaline Dreams
He always thought he was smart about things
But didn't you know it
when he tried to show it
Intellect wasn't his scene.

These new Starman AVs

Season 2 is probably the most important season of the series
IMO

Season 3 and 4 are my favorite.

why do you think Season 2 is the most important?

Those are my favorites seasons as well

Refer to my post to Heretic as he asked me the same thing:

It sets the groundwork for a lot of important story lines later on like the deterioration of the relationship between Avon and Stringer and The Greek who is one of the main players behind the drugs coming into Baltimore
It also moves the scope of the show past the cops and lower class criminals, showing how the drug trade impacts the middle class and starts involving the prison system
It definitely feels like the most boring season during the first watch but it holds up extremely well through re-watches

 

[Prokofievian]

The ones in the cars are the more egregious offenders, IMO. My walk to work is a bee-line down a main street that has a bunch of small side streets coming off it. Pretty much every time I am nearly hit by someone breezing right through the stop sign and into the sidewalk so they can see if there is traffic coming. The other day, a woman was two thirds of the way through the crosswalk before she even looked in my direction. If she had hit me she might have never known it. Fuck selfish motorists. They're shitty all on their own without need to resort to weak excuses like "doing stupid things because of how all the other stupidity is slowing them down".


Edit: Ahem, excuse me. But that's a rant I've been saving for a little while. I feel much better now.

People get so fucking stupid when the topic is pedestrians and cyclists. Whenever I hear someone going off about how cyclists ''have a death wish'' I can't help but roll my eyes. Like, do you think I don't notice all the motorists texting while driving, lane changing and turning without shoulder checking, steering the car with their fucking knees, ripping through residential zones at 100? I read an article a while back that said 43% of cyclist deaths in Ontario one year were from being hit from behind by a car. I wonder how many motorist deaths were caused by a cyclist plowing into them from behind.

yea, it's a great season as well for the reasons you explained.
Not sure why it gets so much hate or viewed as the "worst" season. that was clearly the 5th season.

This might be the tipping point that brings @Starman home.

It should be noted this is the first time I've touched my AV in like 6 or 7 years

Agreed, I wasn't a huge fan on the first run through season 2 but it really grew on me in the rewatch, especially as you pointed out knowing what's coming down the line.

My only guess is that it feels slow and boring compared to the previous season and for first time watchers it is not apparent how important some of the storylines in the 2nd season will be for further seasons
the 5th is also not my favorite season as I didn't care all to much for the newspaper scenes

I understood what they were trying to do...but it was poorly executed. imo.

 

[irish_thug]

Yeah, the season that focuses on the dock workers and the union
It moves the show past the focus on the projects and expands the scope of the show

Best thing about that season is the exceptional set of tits on that one dock workers wife.

The fifth season also lost a chunk of the writing staff and producer group that had been around for the prior 4.

@Sketch I'm over the Fawlty thing but can you tell me who he doxxed and the female poster he ran off?
