Is it just me, or has anyone observed the trend that they fool around with random monsters and problems until like the 17th episode or so...

Only after that do they REALLY concentrate on going about the season's main plot.

I'd think it'd be pretty hard to do 22-24 episodes focused on them hunting down one big bad monster for the whole season.

It was interesting to see

Chronos because it's the first time we've seen a god from Greek mythology. All the other gods from previous episodes were mostly Roman as well as Chinese, Norse, and even Egyptian. I guess this means we'll see more gods in future episodes.

Are you for real? I am so sick to death of these bullsh*t breaks we have had with every show this year, it is significantly worse than previous years.

For **** sake this is getting annoying. Some shows aired one episode then had a two week break, aired on episode and so on. The big bang theory did this a lot.

+1.

There have been around 3 month-long breaks I think. What the heck is up with this s***?!

agreed. it is hard to get into a show now-a-days with all the crap breaks.

guess they are trying to make less shows and stretch them over a long period to save money and keep it on air as much as possible.

Seeing as how the number of episodes is around the same number every year for a TV show (under normal circumstances), that guess is way off. Season 7 of Supernatural has the most episodes of any season yet (23). Rather than have a large gap, they've done periodic ones. Not sure why everyone is in such an uproar and apparent surprise when these kind of sporadic gaps have occurred for many shows for years. Annoying? Yeah, but they won't make 40 episodes, so....

I just now started watching this season a little over a week ago and have a lot to catch up on. I think I'm up to episode six, where the previous episode they caught a Leviathan after their failed attempt to kill the two married witches.

well color me told off :rolleyes:

I guess the huge breaks made me feel like there were less episodes, and most breaks on other shows aren't after every couple of episodes normally. This is jarring to get in the flow of the show if you watch when they air.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
