Now that the #worldseries is over, I wonder if the #Nationals see how quickly the #commanders won back their fan base. I know one way that can do the same. #bringbacksoto

I haven't missed working in daily journalism in the 10 years since I left it, but am particularly pleased to not work for the washington post today.

"It was called the Express. They'd hand it to you at the METRO for free. You'd read all the important news and funny anecdotes of the day and then leave it on train for the next person to read"

I love La Confidential more than most but surely the highlight of @TheGuyPearce career will be losing graciously in the #daytimeemmys to @iammrvandy

What in the name of logic and fairness has the top-seed playing on the road in the playoffs??? @bcchoops
#1 Seed BCC Girls basketball team unfairly scheduled at lower seed home gym, that is also 2hrs away from Bethesda during rush hour traffic.

I know #startrekdiscovery has its detractors, and has not been perfect, but I love the ambition it has. Has been a worthwhile #StarTrek show!

2 things I am grateful for professionally over the last decade: Not covering #politics and the #commanders daily. #expressalumni

Driving past #Christmas lights it occurs to me that #startrek ceded this goldmine to #StarWars. Why not inflatable Tribbles, Data, or the Enterprise. Spock in a Santa hat is another winner

I have to say Dick Dan Dyke's 98th birthday is a lot more noteable than Taylor Swift's 30-something day. #hottake

Metro already sucks but it really becomes obsolete if these changes are made. They should have fixed the system for good when no one was riding in 2020 and then you might see some confidence in riders to return.
Per @ReporterJoseph 10 Metro stations closed, 67 bus lines cut, 2,000 layoffs possible if budget gap isn't filled, GM says #wmata @nbcwashington nbcwashington.com/news/local…

On another note, I nerded it up and completed #Babylon5 over the past few months. Such a shame there was no budget for the effects but there is a case with a show with purpose and a clear vision.

In hindsight, it is clear there was confusion how many seasons it would go. I am pretty sure the original plan was 5 but WB initially said only 4 before changing course. As a result, S5 feels like a spinoff show in many episodes

but a testament to the vision is that G'Kar and Londo are not in the finale but regular viewers already know their story arc had a satisfying end, albeit shown earlier

You have to be a real fanboy or fangirl to avoid feeling underwhelmed by the #Ashoka finale. Sure, they set up some future material but there was no sense of grandeur, for lack of a better term.

You can say the same thing for Book of Boba Fett and Mando S. 3 too. The shows just exist to exist. There is nothing particularly daring or interesting when the series is complete

Andor had a true vision, and its sometimes slow pace was rewarded with truly remarkable moments
