1. Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
    Dismiss Notice
  2. For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
    Dismiss Notice
  3. Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
    Dismiss Notice
  4. If you wish to change your username, please ask via conversation to tehelgee instead of asking via my profile. I'd like to not clutter it up with such requests.

  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

    A general discussion thread, for the titular series. Probably mostly the Netflix series, since that's what's coming out, but books too. Keep spoilers in spoilers please, including for the books; some of us haven't actually finished them. :oops:

    Just watched the first episode of it on Netflix, and god damn is it amazing. NPH is of course amazing, loved the Wes Anderson-style aesthetic, loved Patrick Walburton. Great enunciation, pacing, and as always I love his voice.

    And of course, Will Arnett and Cobie Smulders showing up at the end is just candy.

    More content-wise, perfect style of humor for me. Like the totally-not-obviously-suspicious eye symbols all around? *swoons*.
    One of my favorite bits is that (as far as I could tell), each time someone tells them what a word means, they actually get it a bit wrong, like saying "perished" means "killed", when it actually means "were killed". Passive, not active. Mmmmmmm.

    Going to watch the next one probably tomorrow; want to actually savor it, though the urge to binge is deep.

    Edit: Orrrrr not. Okay then. Nevermind... :(
