I have unfortunately never watched it before. :/ It's not a hate thing; just a missed opportunity.

I think I should binge-watch it one day.

Very upsetting that the show is on Netflix in SD and with the weird cuts for commercials left in.

This is the theological equivalent of that time I tried telling my grandparents that having the TV on spongebob while I was doing my homework would help me do it better.

Except that Spongebob isn't related to your homework. What would be a better equivalent is watching Dora the Explorer while working on Spanish homework.


True, and it would still be a terrible argument to make. Watching Jimmy Neutron doesn't help a 3rd grader with science homework any more than Dora meaningfully helps them in Spanish.

The main point of stained glass windows, statues, and paintings were to help the laity understand Scripture. You may argue that it has no place in churches right now, but I would argue that, now, it would serve to help children understand the Mass.


I'm a visual learner, but there comes a point where looking at pretty things distracts from the lesson at hand.

I definitely recommend it. There are the handful of jokes geared toward children to get over as an adult, but its genuinely a great story and Uncle Iroh's character has lots of good messages and wisdom to share. Plus the character development is still some of the best I've ever seen.

I always thought I remembered it as the end of a full episode, but its actually in the beginning half of the episode.

I mostly know the "My cabbages!" dude, but of course, other than that, I have heard many, many good things.

I should have caught up with it back when I had cable TV and Nick. Ah well, Netflix to the rescue!

Sex can definitely be causal of things.

Professional sex is when Johnny Sins and Lisa Ann enter your room late at night.
