    I watched the four part series on Netflix regarding the Challenger space shuttle. In my opinion it was outstanding.

    Each of the parts is 45-55 minutes long, so it isn't too daunting of a watch. As with other limited series like this one, it probably could have been slightly condensed, but in this case it kept me interested throughout.

    It gives a good accounting of the history of the space shuttle program and the enrollment of the astronauts into it. We hear directly from many of the astronauts who went through the program with some of the Challenger victims, and we also get a lot of back story from family members of the Challenger crew.

    But then, mixed in with the general history of the program and the crew, we have a pretty detailed and frank discussion of the 0-ring problem, the history of that problem, and the relationship between engineers at the contractor, management at the contractor pulled between their engineers' science and their customer's pressure, and NASA officials who insisted they launch.

    The current day interviews with the contractor management, and with the NASA officials, is astounding. When the NASA official who made the call looks into the lens and says, "knowing what I know today, I'd still order the launch," you want to reach through your tv screen and shout, "dude, it blew up!"
    I just watched this...and agree with all of this. The arrogance of the people at NASA was ridiculous but the dude saying he would make the same decision now made my brain hurt.

    The fact that NASA ignored the warnings from the company who built the boosters is just a level of stupidity that cannot be overstated.

    Of course I'm a fan of the Vikings. A sick and demented Masochist of a fan, but a fan none the less.

      Finished Season 6 of Homeland last night. I think Season 6 of Homeland tells us more about America than any other show I have ever watched. Well done. Two very important characters saw their swan songs in the season and the setup for season 7 was predictable but sad. Kind of like the state of the nation today. Predictable and sad.

        S4 of Fargo. E1 was a banger and extremely stylish. Jason Schwartzman is completely miscast imho but even with that I'm on board at least after E1.

          Final season of Sherlock disappointed me. It died of "can you top this" disease. Too bad, it was a good show over all, though nothing will ever beat S1 and they could/should have stopped after it.

                  Scoob, you can spoilerize it for me to not ruin it for others who may not know, but i don't remember two. I know one, Quinn, but who was the other?
                  What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

                          If they really try hard enough. I can't make it out just reading through quickly.

                          But I'll edit, just for you.
