I’ll admit. The empire stuff is what is keeping me in the show. Lee Pace is excellent!

I think they mean the American office. Which gets significantly better after the first season, when they stop trying to just copy the original and do their own thing.

Going in to season 2 can feel a bit jarring if you were expecting it to continue to be about the drug trade, but the show is about Baltimore and each season shows different aspects of the city. The police/drug trade, the docks, government bureaucracy, school system, and the media. For me it’s what makes the wire stand out.

I was hooked by episode 4 when Bunk and McNulty are at the crime scene

Yeah, we’ve already seen she is willing to take action against Dawn and Dusk, as she’s more loyal to Day. She’s also clearly pissed at Day for using her religion for his benefit and forcing her to kill that religious leader. I think her ultimate allegiance is to the genetic dynasty itself, so Day moving to end it is what forces her to act against him.

Polyporus squamosus. Looks like it from the top. I’d wanna see the underside to see the pores not gills, just to be sure.

Some apple juices contain an ingredient called isinglass which is made from dried fish bladders. And some apples may be waxed with beeswax (from bees) or shellac (from bugs) before being juiced.

That first season of TNG is… rough. Although, that’s kind of an issue with most trek and it can easily put people off. Only TOS, Lower Decks, and Strange New Worlds were birthed with beard full grown
