I tried Sherry after watching Niles & Frasier drink it repeatedly on this show. This was probably mid-90s, after it had been running a few seasons. Turned out I loved it! I started having a small snifter of Sherry every day when I came home from work. I became quite a snob, trying the different varieties--Amontillado, Manzanilla, etc. I did this for several years before moving on to something else.

Challenging episode to watch. Nobody wins.

I'm out. Between the show losing its way (too violent, too many deaths, too unrealistic, no TRACKing), and missing the last 20 minutes tonight, I don't need this. Seriously CBS, your "supposed" top ranked show, and you delay it that long?

Yes. It's been a while, so I've forgotten the exact timeline, but you have it correct. The last scene was pre-Silo. I don't think they've said how "pre" it is, but we can deduce somewhere between 1-20 years before (let's call it) Day Zero. And the current Silo is 200-300 years or more after Day Zero (whatever that may be). Again, it's been so long I don't remember the math, but several centuries.

They've never changed anything like that. They've shown us some different perspectives on scenes, and very mildly retconned a few things, but no significant life event has ever been changed. Bottom line: There's no way MeeMaw dies.

Good episode. Interesting the way the marriage partners flipped last minute, giving David a chance at Michal.

FWIW, that article says nothing. I appreciate your sharing it, but it has NO info in it.

Thanks, fixed.

ATL is about 1,000' above sea level, they said the tsunami was about 800'. less than that.

And he was superb!

That's the key. While that map makes it look like TX is 99% Red, it's the land that's 99% red. But most of that land is sparsely populated. 2024 Pres results: 56-42, 2020 was 52-47. The areas around Houston, DFW, Austin, San Antonio... JUST these four areas have 2/3 of the entire state's population.

The big TX cities are all Blue. They tend to be very blue in the core/center, and getter redder as you go out. example: Houston is a Blue city, although not near as liberal as (for example) a NE city. But the Houston suburbs are Red. Also, Texas is not a bright Red as people think. Typically, in a pres election, it goes 52-55 red, 45-48 blue. Nothing like a RED state that's 70-30 or 80-20 (eg, Wyoming). Gerrymandering has given Reds huge power here, even though they are barely a majority.

Same here, times a million. I would never, EVER in my life leave one of my dogs tied up outside somewhere, unless I could keep an eye on them the entire time. I was somewhat stunned he did that.

I don't think we know how strong/secure the exterior security of the place is. We've seen people going into the hangar, but that's inside the perimeter. And we've seen people outside Paradise (like the scene where Pace shoots the scientists), but have we seen anyone actually going outside? There may be massive security between the hangar (or whatever is the outermost section of Paradise), and the outside itself. You raise an interesting point. My curiosity makes me want to know.

Thoughts so far... I finished the first three episodes last night... It's just average. It needs much tighter editing, I found myself bored at times with the pacing. Perhaps if the writing was sharper the poor editing wouldn't be as noticeable. It's got potential, and I'll keep watching for now. Oddly enough, there's a month-long hiatus after E5 (March 13), until E6 (April 20). I hope it gets better, or it will be a permanent hiatus for me. It would also help if David was played by someone with charisma. They have him as meek and mild-mannered, but so meek that he has little screen presence at times. As contrast, look at Timothée Chalamet in Dune. He plays someone who starts out quiet and mild-mannered also, someone who also didn't know his ultimate fate, but he exudes an aura on-screen that makes him a strong character. You can't but help watch him grow into his hero role. With this David, you feel none of that. Not everyone is TC, but you gotta cast someone who can carry the role. Maybe he'll get better. It also would have helped if he was better looking. You want your heroes to be eye candy (said only slightly tongue-in-cheek).
