Survivor addiction has left you culturally bereft. Wild Cards is excellent. I haven't made up my mind about Sherlock & Daughter, but the Daughter is delightful.

I lead a very sheltered life.

Yeah, me too. Don't know either of those. I have given a chance to most of the Holmes-based series in all their variations and never really enjoyed anything but the original. Don't care for currently-on "Watson". Or maybe "Sherlock an Daughter" is about something else? And sure, what with recording onto DVD and all, programming conflicts are avoidable, but there aren't many things I'd pick ahead of "Survivor" in a good year.

Wild Cards is a cop drama having nothing to do with Holmes. Its twist is that the co-star is a con artist.

I enjoyed the 7 seasons of Elementary with Lucy Liu and its quirky Sherlock.

Yeah, Watson is an unrealistic nearly pure medical drama with no Sherlock that retains Moriarty as a villain for some reason that I've not seen explained. I can take it or leave it.

Sherlock and Daughter is set in the original period. Watson is missing and clever Daughter fills his role. It's brand new, just 3 episodes or so.

I don't DVR, it's my way of limiting my TV viewing even though I sometimes miss out. There's always summer reruns.

Klepper's monologue was fire tonight, dismantling DonOld's insane non-weave "weave" in the UAE tonight after mocking PINO's usual creepy 2-handed jerk-off dancing in front of our troops Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) trashes the GQP's struggling Big Beautiful Bill.

So if Joe, Eva, and Kyle were the final three, you'd vote for Kyle?

Spoiler:

Interesting Kyle and Camilla thought Mitch was a bigger threat than Joe.

I'm also getting Coach like vibe with Joe. Honor, honor, honor as he stabbed two allies in the back.

[GoCubsGo]

Spoiler:

Wow, great pander by Eva.
But I called it with Kyle!

Spoiler:

Wow, Kamilla would've won. Didn't see that. The power of the edit.

[O Really]

May have been the best season of all so far.

I thought it was average with likable people.

Maybe I became biased as the season progressed and everybody I wanted gone got gone. But there were some really good competitions, not the least of which was the one in the final when Kamilla won from being stuck in the mud dead last and way off of pace. Or Eva beating the two muscle guys in an endurance competition.

She may not be a winner, but she's a boss.

Survivor 48 star Eva Erickson says finale autism episode was much worse than what was shown on TV

"I was stimming, I was scratching myself, I was on the ground rocking in a ball, and I was almost disappointed this wasn't shown because I know it's important for people with autism to see me in that state."

I should have separated the 2 thoughts.
Is he announcing something about NC or his policies?
Is he getting "a little public face time" with thoughts of a possible presidential run?

Too moderate for the current base of the democrat party.

[O Really]

Too moderate for the current base of the democrat party.

I think you may be confusing "base" with "faction". I get the impression that you consider the "base" to be very liberal, fronted by AOC, for example. You'd probably be surprised to find the majority of Democrats are much more moderate, although I understand that with your perspective from the current Republic party that "moderate" doesn't really exist.

[Supsalemgr]

Feel free to debate if the current democrat party has become far left. My post is just my, and many's, opinion of the state of the democrat party. There are probably many democrats who are moderate, but numbers are decreasing.

SoupySales has the funniest ideas. The last winning Dems have been a moderate White VP from DE vs Dolt .45, a Black Senator from IL in the wake of the Shrub disaster, 2 White southern Govs, and a White TX VP. Dems understand this calculus while SoupySales swallows the fearmongering that Faux Noise shovels his way.

Plus, Stein is "moderate" because he has to be with this gerrymandered wingnut Leg. He was a fairly progressive AG. Wasn't SoupySales paying attention?

[GoCubsGo]

Wasn't SoupySales paying attention?

LOL

Probably not.

Even Kamala wasn’t far left. She was unfortunate enough to be a woman and a woman of color who could actually smile and laugh and string together two sentences without weaving.

The horror.
