Don't be (too) ashamed. What's the slop you're getting into this week? Games, movies, tv shows, etc.

I'll go first I suppose. I'm watching Burn Notice. I'm on season 3 episode 3. Some of the dialogue is so painful I'm embarrassed to watch it but then I power thru it and finally get to a high quality action scene. Former spy works w former girlfriend, his mom, and a fair weather friend to solve some problems in sunny Florida. It's completely believable and socially redeeming.

So let's hear it.

FAM US: Electric cars, an 80's green revolution! Safe, common nuclear power! Feminism and LGBT rights 20 years earlier! Things are so different that Ronald Reagan was a nice guy who wanted peace!

FAM USSR:

it's 1958 but everyone lives in worn down 1980's blocks.

It's 1978 but everyone lives in worn down 1980's blocks.
