My biggest complaint is that the ending of season 1 really just came across as disrespectful to viewers, particularly in light of how long it was between seasons.

Maybe this coloured my opinion of it, but I watched them back-to-back. I didn't experience that feeling of being disrespected by the wait. I just heard it was good, and watched what was available.

For the first season I felt like it was a really interesting concept, and I was excited to see how it developed. The second season just seemed like it'd lost its way to me, and they were drawing it out.

Entirely possible, but then we're also talking in a thread about a subject that apparently 99% of humans don't know about either.

Why be representative when you can be exceptional? :)

When I was a lad (~30 years ago) hash was all we had. So much so that I don't recall if I've ever actually smoked weed.

Off the top of my head:

  • Karate Champ II (arcade)
  • Pac-Land (arcade)
  • Gryzor aka Contra (Amstrad CPC)
  • Sorcery (Amstrad CPC)
  • Xenon (Atari ST)

Oh wait, Elite (BBC, Amstrad, and ST) — probably more so than Xenon.

I get what you're saying — so it's about the subconscious awareness of the state change that happens after the driver decided to go, but before the car starts moving. I can see some amount of value in that.

I still can't help but think it's going to be interpreted by many as a sign that it's safe to proceed and ignore the car rather than be prepared for any eventuality, though.

But isn't that exactly the situation we're in now? If there's a car in the opposing left turn lane, they might start to turn in front of you.

The only thing the light does is say "right now, they're braking". It doesn't say whether they're moving or stationary any more than the headlights, and it doesn't say anything about their intentions or whether it's safe to enter the intersection.

Weird. Maybe the mole catcher went international!

This is for sure a pic from the UK, though — almost definitely in Yorkshire.

I want both this, and to not spend €449 on it.

They've been telling us this for 33 years, and still people don't get it.
