Excited. But, seriously, you guys need to learn the art of making seasons of respectable length.

It's not about learning how to do it. :p For most UK shows there are only a handful, not a whole team like you get for American shows. Plus there's less emphasis on ratings over here so the writers don't need to push out so many storylines and episodes to please the network... they can concentrate more on quality than quantity, as mentioned above.

The Wire, Rome, Dexter, Californication, etc. are some of the best TV programs ever made and they all managed to be longer than six episodes a season.

yeah but we just dont have the budget these american networks have so they get given 6 and I think it works well and to be fair wasn't that like 13 episodes a season which is only double and some of the episodes of Dexter last season were awful.

Rome was the one of the most expensive TV programs ever made and BBC put up half the budget.

Alice is only as sexy as I find her because she's a sociopath. If she was sane I wouldn't want to **** her three or four times in a night then twice that in a morning. But that's just me.

Good to know i'm not the only one.

Just don't forget to lock her in the bathroom for the rest of the night...

      Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.

      Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.
