Ok, if Hitchhikers is not going to get you then Year Zero probably won't. The Premise is based around music piracy using a style Douglas Adams perfected IMO with humor and character development.

Well all of Lyon's NHL games, I'd say probably 60-70% of the Phantoms games and a lot of him at Yale prior getting signed as a UFA.

He has been playing decent hockey since Hart has been called up, but the issue I see with Lyon is not how he has been performing down there it is how he has played with the Flyers. Last year when he got a called up and he filled in nicely, but this year when used he still had the same issues that concerned me prior and that is his lateral movement. He is not strong with his push off for NHL standards. In college he was very good positional, but tends to over commit at times.

I get that. I won’t hold this year’s NHL starts against him. He was dealing with a minor injury at the time of the first start (Buffalo, I believe) and the team had the very worst effort I have ever seen for his one period of play. The second game was a strange Hakstol spastic effort to save his job....in which Lyon was going to start but didn’t. Had to come in relief of the injured Stolarz who had given up a few already. To say that the odds were stacked against Lyon in his NHL viewings this season, is an enormous understatement.

My sister and her friends always talk about Westworld, is that the Western robot one?

Also I just realized I don't watch as much tv as others
- Glak18

Yep - It's really visually stunning. Has some interesting characters. Although one story line drives me nuts, as any scientist/gamer would never, ever allow what happens to happen. I won't go into that further depth as it drives me nuts. Season 1 is worth the watch, sadly season 2 they begin to lose their way. The whole series loses focus, and while there are some fantastic scenes, the overall arching storyline loses cohesion.
My husband loves it though.
Not surprisingly Anthony Hopkins steals every scene he is in.

I really dug Almost Human

Westworld and Legion are 2 other good ones.
- BiggE

Fogot about Westworld. Yeah that show is awesome. Heard of Legion, never got around to it

Hagg, Morin, Myers, JVR, and anyone that would be a rookie next year... 2 years of NHL right and draft is after 2021 so 2020 rookies would play in 2020 and in 2021... so that could also include farabee if he makes the team... and that doesnt include any trades or ufa's we pick up.
- youarewrong

You have to play three pro seasons to be eligible for the ED.

So Frost won't be, and neither will Farabee even if he signs his ELC this summer and plays two the 19-20 and 20-21 seasons in the NHL for the Flyers.

I'm stunned to realize that G is our only player with a NMC. What a change!

Thanks to Hextall.

That’s another good one. For me, in no particular order, it’s:

Shameless
Ray Donovan
The Walking Dead
The Orville
The Man in the High Castle
Sneaky Pete
Archer
- BiggE

I love H Jon Benjamin.

Literally best voice actor in history.

Or if you want to compartmentalize, comedy.

Totally flys under the radar due to animation.

Archer truly demands multiple viewings due to the insanely rapid-fire-well-thought-out jokes.

Ray Donovan used to be one of the best shows on TV. Sadly the show went downhill season 3 and last season was the worst. Didn’t bother with the newest season.

Havent really been a fan of Archer since they stopped being spies. Especially Vice and the Dreamland ones

Top ten prog rock albums

Pink Floyd- Animals
King Crimson- in the court of Crimson King
Jethro Tull- Think as a Brick
Frank Zappa- Shiek yerbouti
Tom waits- Mule variations
Rush-2112
Smashing pumpkins- melancholy and the infinite sadness
Paul maccartney and wings- Venus and Mars
Primus- Frizzle fry
Soul Coughing- ruby vroom

I may have a different idea of what prog rock traditionally is, and I limited it to one album per artist because you could make a legitimate top ten of just Pink Floyd and Rush albums.

Supernatural.. If you are on the air for 14 seasons and have a ridiculously engaged fanbase along with multiple conventions, two tiers, then you are doing something right.

In honor of the coming movie I'm a huge fan of Deadwood.

I also re-watched the opening mini-series for the 2004 version of BSG. It holds up so well. The build to the Cylon attack is amazing.

After that..

Breaking Bad
Westworld
GoT
The Unit (sue me, don't care)

Modern prog I'm gonna go with

Pale Communion by Opeth
Lightbulb Sun by Porcupine Tree

I can’t believe I left off a genesis album to prove a point about primus and Soul Coughing.

The lamb lies down is the one I’m most attached to.

And is it stupid that sgt. peppers or any Beatles albums are never listed as prog rock when the Beatles basically invented prog rock?

Or The Who Tommy

Ender's Game is my favorite non-Conan book ever. Please recommend me something to read based on that.

I never watched season 2 of Legion. Show was an acid trip.

Good stuff, Paul and Wings isn’t prog rock, not even close. Zappa is so unique that he’s really hard to classify. To me he’s an incredible blend of jazz fusion, rock with a dash of blues, pop and the kitchen sink thrown in. Nothing else sounds like Zappa.

BSG was amazing, one of my all time favorite shows. Edward James Olmos is one of the most underrated actors on the planet.

Love me some Porcupine Tree.

Provorov, Sanheim, Ghost, Morin, Hagg, Myers.

We are the mid 2000’s Nashville Predators.

Yes, but with a 100+ point forward.

I agree wings isn’t prog rock .... but Venus and Mars, I think is so different from the rest of the catalogue that at least the first side qualifies

I used to always watch the ASG Skills Competition, even after I stopped caring about the ASG. My favorite event was always the "Who will finish second to Shea Weber" event.

But with it not starting till past 8PM....nah, sorry. West Coast hockey, no one cares about you.

Ok, top 10 fave prog rock albums, and away we go!

Rush-Moving Pictures
Pink Floyd-Animals
Yes-Close to the Edge
Rush-Clockwork Angels
Genesis-A Trick of the Tail
Pink Floyd-The Dark Side of the Moon
Rush-A Farewell to Kings
Yes-Fragile
Emerson, Lake & Palmer-Brain Salad Surgery
Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here

I still say that Geddy Lee looks like a man.

Your thoughts on how they did the Ender's Game movie?
