The "end times" have been coming for 2,000 years now. You'd think after the first 500 or so they would have started reevaluating their prophecies... But religion is a helluva drug.

Yikes... I'm definitely not turning the wifi back on after reading that!

I don't think internet was required for setup, but in each case I did want to get the latest firmware in case there were fixes to the UI or whatever. But I never use the built-in apps or anything, I have a media box for that stuff.

I had a 65" Hisense TV for just over a year, and a firmware update bricked it. It was stone dead, and Hisense wouldn't even try to repair it. So I spent a little extra money and got a Samsung instead. And once it was set up, I turned off its wifi...just in case.

Hisense can eat a bag o' dicks.

Dude looks a bit like Bill Murray.

Agreed... it took me a while to warm up to new new show while they figured out what they were doing. After a few months I began to enjoy it for what it was... It could never touch the original, but it had some of that same spirit of ridiculousness. The 2nd season was better, but that's all we got. Hardwick seriously needs to start up @m again!

If you know how to use BitTorrent, the entire show is out there for grabs!

I had every single episode a few years ago, took me ages to track them all down. Then I lost them all during a storage upgrade... But when the new After Midnight show started up, some kind soul uploaded a torrent of the entire @midnight archive.👍

I automatically heard that headline in Corvo's voice before even realizing it.
