what in the world, i'm very confused. 95.7 is KCMO and they do not call themselves THE VIBE. there is a 107.3 THE VIBE but it does appear per google search that 95.7 is somehow associated with KCHZ THE VIBE. so i dunno.

probably Option 3. i will certainly read Messiah and that will likely carry me into wanting to read everything in the series that was written by Frank Herbert himself.

re: Option 5, the version of Dune i read had an epilogue that was written by his son. when he said that he continued the Dune series and wrote books himself, i was instantly skeptical. that sounds bad and confirmed why a couple people told me not to bother with the later books. so i won't be touching option 5.

i'm reading Dune.

i am not a reader. it's been years since i read a book for "fun." i'm about 100 pages in and loving it. taking it slow.

finished! enjoyed it quite a bit. beyond excited to watch the movie. i finally allowed myself to watch the trailer, i had shunned all Dune movie content until i finished the book.

you guys are trying too hard to be edgy, season 2 was perfectly enjoyable. excited for season 3.

I'm 2 episodes into season 3 right now, sidebar this episode was the absolute saddest episode of the series so far. Anyway, I liked season 2 and so far so good for season 3, but I can see why people don't like either. The entire premise of seasons 2 and 3 are preposterous on top of an already bat crap concept of a show. I get that it's a show about people getting murdered in wild ass quantities and no one ever comes to look for them, so it stretches credulity, but the problem is that concept already stretches the imagination to it's limits, seasons 2 and 3 goes like 97 steps beyond that.

i generally agree with what you're saying. i think the show creators had to assume that we all understand the premise is batshit crazy (especially the main guy going back into the game by choice). so let's just get creative about what scenarios could possibly transpire in a "game" like this.

taterblast are you ok?

listen, i should have clarified that it was over the course of the past ~3 months. i've just accepted that i'm a sucker for bingeworthy documentaries, and true crime has the flavors that i crave. i've learned that even if it doesn't seem like something that interests me at face value, if i just hit play, i will get sucked in.

full netflix documentary binge mode recently

The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso - about a murder in Argentina ... kind of nice to know other countries can be as sick as us from a culture and media standpoint!
Gone Girls, the one about the long island serial killer - had no idea! very good documentary, sick story.
the one about Fred and Rose West the serial killers in england - holy crap!
Mayor of Mayhem, the one about Rob Ford - what a rascal, sad that he died. seemed like maybe he was going to turn things around.
Titan, the one about the titanic submersible - was really looking forward to this one and it seemed a little underwhelming
Untold - Shooting Guards, the one about Gilbert Arenas and Crittenton bringing guns to the locker room ... crazy story! had forgotten a lot of the details
A Deadly American Marriage - the one about the irish guy that married an american woman, moved to america, and then she and her dad killed him (in self defense? you be the judge!) - crazy!
Untold - The Fall of Favre, sketchy dude!
Oklahoma City Bombing - incredibly sad, seems like this gets forgotten a lot of the itme
American Manhunt, Osama Bin Laden - America!
Untold - The Liver King - meh. he sucks.
I'm Time, the story of Avicii - sad sad sad. didn't realize how much of his music i was aware of.
