…Sharif loved gambling, so they’d invariably lose all their money at the casino. “We once did about nine months’ wages in one night”, said O’toole. “And then got up to the usual things young men get up to”. Asked by a journalist if that entailed getting up to no good O’toole gave a grin a replied “Oh, darling, do you consider it to be no good? We consider it very good indeed”
How long does a Google search take, honestly? S1 has the best rating, S2 and 4 is tied at second. S9 holds the fourth spot (for whatever reason), and S3 is 5th. S10 has the lowest overall rating.
Just to put it into perspective- Season 1 averaged 4.52 million viewers Season 10 averaged 2.02 million viewers
No wonder they seem kind of offended by the fan’s casual dismissal of the first seasons.
A few years back I’d have been saddened by this news. But they killed this show a long time ago, and I’ve waited for this announcement ever since. They milked this cash cow for too long. Bye, bye, Supernatural. You were good once. Like so many others before you, you didn’t know the time of your visitation. Rest in peace. I won’t be missing you.
My sympathies to anyone actually made any degree of sad by the Instagram announcement that the show is ending on season 15. I would never suggest the show had to end as long as other people were still enjoying it - if I keep watching beyond the point it’s fun, that’s my issue.
However. I can’t say my reaction is anything but 100% THANK FUCKING CHUCK. The great parts of the show will always exist for us to go back to and enjoy.
I hope everyone involved gets exactly the followup opportunities that they deserve for the quality of the work they delivered these last few seasons.
What a labour of love! Thank you so much for this.
It’s over! it’s done! Quick recap: so basically I uploaded the blu-ray rips of the whole series to Google Drive (36 episodes and 5 movies) so everyone can enjoy them and marvel at the beauty of the cream-colored suit in HD. For now the episodes don’t have any subtitles, none of the subs available out there are synced for the blu-ray rips, so if someone wants to contribute with that please let me know! and that’s all there’s to know about it for now. I really hope you have a nice time watching it whether is the first time you watch the series or the 1000th time :) here are the links:

Same. Absolutely gutted. Horrible, hollow feeling. I'll just take an extended break from tennis after this.
Could not believe what happened. I will need a lot of time to recover from this.
This is merely lip service, in my opinion. There’s no reflection of these sentiments on screen so far this season. In fact, there seems to be a deliberate effort to downplay the brotherly bond. Mrs. Singer (and her equally inept writing partner) are the worst offenders, and their scripts are probably more “officially sanctioned” by Bob than those of the other writers. So I’m compelled to believe that Bob Singer is no fan of the brother bond, but will use it for promotional purposes.

Oh man, you’re right. “Figures 21,22,23 - Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson make a rather macabre discovery in the church vault at Shoscombe Old Place” (I was there a month ago).
I knew it would be cheesy. I was hoping it would be the right kind of cheesy. My hopes were fulfilled beyond my wildest dreams.
If you are planning to visit this place one day, and don’t want spoilers, let me just offer you the following advice: Go early. At noon, when we were finally admitted after waiting for at least half an hour in the broiling sun, the queue was already down the block. Since the museum itself takes about half an hour (we did it in 20 minutes due to time pressure…it’s a long story), I don’t recommend waiting in line for it any longer than that. It’s a tall, narrow, old-fashioned townhouse, so they don’t let in more than about 15 people at a time.
All right. Let me tell you about this ‘museum.’

Really, really gutted, but health comes first. He'll stick around for cheerleading duties. Hindsight is 20/20, but four matches in a row (which it would have been, had he decided to play today) may not have been the wisest decision either.
words cannot express my sorrow.
please let him be on the bench.
pray that he knows how much we appreciate him.
appreciate that beautiful match we got in Prague.
and always always remember.
fedal will be forever.
