Mafia stuff always aggressively puts me off, I have no taste for it at all and find no enjoyment in it. I never watched The Sopranos, and despite being a huge movie geek in general I've never managed to stay awake during any Godfather movie.

Maybe I was "bumped off" in a past life or something.

I've never seen or read Game of Thrones either, despite also being a big fantasy fan. I just never got around to it when it was popular, and after hearing how it collapsed in upon itself at the end I don't feel the need to.

How did learning English from a show known for inventing fictional alien slang words go? Were you dropping "frell" and "yotz" into conversations?

I wasn't a fan, but my shitty and abusive ex loved it.

I didn't watch the show Firefly. I had already been using this screenname for a long time when that show came out, but people began to assume I was a fan and named myself after it.

While I'm generally a scifi fan and watched tons of scifi TV in those days, the Buffy shows a lot of my friends were into bored the hell out of me and I didn't feel like checking out another show by the same guy.

I do have the DVDs on my shelf, having picked them up cheap secondhand ages ago thinking I might just get it over with someday, but the more I've learned about Joss Whedon over the years the less inclined I find myself to check it out.

"Let it burn" means giving up and letting them win. Accepting defeatism and rolling over for them is exactly what got them into power and is letting them stay there.

I, personally, would much rather keep fighting them.

A two-panel comic strip. Panel 1: Sluggo and Nancy are swimming, visible above the waterline from the shoulders up. Sluggo's speech bubble says, "This is Labor Day - Let's give the boss an easy strip to draw." Nancy's speech bubble says, "Okay." Panel 2: As before but the characters have dunked themselves further underwater, leaving only the tops of their heads visible in the featureless water. A speech bubble emanating from Ernie Bushmiller's artist signature says, "Thanks, kids."
