I LOVE running stairs and inclines. Then again I used to regularly spar 2 weight classes above mine so I'm probably not right in the head.

I have a Concept 2 but hardly use it. TV on the ceiling or adjacent wall probably isn't a bad idea.

I ran from the time I was 16, got into weights in my early 20's, strength and endurance training, I'd do the stair machine at work, sometimes the elliptical, hated the treadmill but on shitty days it got me moving. Now I'm in my 60's, the knees don't like to run or do the stairs so much, I get bored on a stationary bike so we bought a rower last winter. I'm on it about 4 times a week, should be more but 4 is better than 0. I watch a tv show, get a solid 40min of sweating with the oldies (that's me not the music). Good work out, both upper, lower and cardio. My wife loves it too, but definitely need the TV set for distraction.

Just got this update from Netflix. I thought the series was over but what a happy surprise.

Hopefully it'll be more like seasons 1 or 2.

Captain Blood · 06-09-2022, 12:45 PM

Spoiler alert!

—————

I really liked the season 4 part 1 finale for "Stranger Things". I loved the backstory on 11

And Obi-Wan Kenobi ep 4 was certainly better than episode three, but still lackluster.

F is for Family, seriously, there's more of me in Frank than i'd like to admit. Kills me at times, i LOL and I don't LOL easily.

Seriously disappointed, thankfully Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, and Fiona Shaw at least gave fantastic performances as always.

Gotta love a bot copying your post word for word

They're getting smarter.

Not a series. But absolutely Must-See TV tonight broadcast on all major networks...

Peaky Blinders, the last season is now up on Netflix!

The Boys is just so good, getting up there in writing to BCS levels imho.

Agreed. The gore and hilarity blend perfectly.

Oh, it's way more than that, the scathing satire is what gets me pumping.

We watched Under the Banner of Heaven on Hulu. My wife liked it. I thought it dragged. I'm not Mormon, but it impressed me as very anti-Mormon, but I guess it was just part of the story.

We also finished the Staircase on HBOMax and thought it was good. Gonna give Dark Winds a try once a few episodes are stashed on the YouTube TV virtual DVR.

I started watching the Staircase last week. I felt like it dragged. I got to maybe episode 4. Is it worth finishing?

We got to the 4th episode and are finding the same thing, not sure if we'll continue, so we started watching Season 6 of Peaky Blinders, my wife stayed awake for 3 episodes which is good as she normally doses off early. It's a bit slow but interesting. Will likely finish it tonight.

There is no shocking twist, but I liked it. If you feel it was dragging at episode 4 maybe not worth it.

Staircase looks like a 1 hr doco needlessly dragged out into a 14 hr show.

Resident Evil, what's the premise here, movie or show? Total re-boot or post existing movies timeline?

Staircase actually has two shows - one a documentary (on Netflix) and the other a more fictionalized, based-on-true-story account (HBOMax) that incorporates the story of the documentary being filmed. It may have gone on a bit longer than necessary but I don't think a Dateline or 20/20 type episode would have been enough either.
