Too damn slow to matter. I am this close to giving up.
Hooch,

Walking away at episode eight when there is only one episode left, is a stroke of pure genius, because why have closure when you can spend the rest of your life wondering if you were so bored and angry for a reason? It's like marinating a Wagyu steak for three days and then deciding at the last minute you would rather just have a bowl of Grape-Nuts. Hooch, you've already wasted eight hours of your life being bored and angry, giving up now with one episode left, just ensures that Pluribus kicked your ass, both physically and metaphorically.

9 episodes in a season. That is also dumb.
Ban Whiskey permanently if that's the only way.

It is? Why?
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Short seasons, years apart. Big whatever. But we can't know exactly why I think it is dumb until Wanger draws us a picture. Did you know that Wanger draws those pics by himself without using AI?

I’m reasonably sure 8-10 episodes is the sweet spot that allows for proper character development and story arc, without sacrificing quality for quantity. But that’s just what the experts say. You probably know more than they do.

Wow. Cool snark, IHAQ. You are way good at that. Thanks.

Call me old. Call me whatever the hell you want. Sopranos started with the 12-13 episode season. So did Breaking Bad and Mad Men and the early legends. This lazy ass 8 episode intro season is lame. 9 though, wow. That is the Spinal Tap Amp of premier seasons.

I don’t think I’ve ever met a person so constantly angry, triggered and irritated as Hooch. Hooch’s relationship with Pluribus is a masterpiece of spite, anger and rage. Hooch hates the show enough to boycott the finale, but he’s triggered that the season ends after only nine episodes? Hooch wants more of the torture he refuses to watch? :lol:

Hooch, never stop stopping.

There aren’t enough monster trucks, explosions, and blue collar men homoerotically slapping each other on their dicks for Hooch.

It is more like this, wanger. I like F-250 Highboys but I don't like red interiors.
