Maybe unpopular opinion here, but I just read The Three Musketeers, and it’s not even close to The Count of Monte Cristo.

The characters wildly change in tone and basic morals, the heroes are dirtbags, and the plot wanders.

I still enjoyed it, but it just wasn’t the same.

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. You lost today Mr. La Forge, but that doesn’t mean you have to like it."

Largely agree, with a couple exceptions: Undiscovered Country and First Contact are good; Into Darkness is bad.

There’s a chain near me that makes a breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, white cheddar, a really excellent garlic aioli, and Ciabatta bread.

I go there way too much.

This might be my biggest TNG complaint. The character and the actor are good (or at least decent if we’re being picky), but almost every time the focus is on her, the writing is absolutely awful.

Fringe is great. Season 1 is a bit “Monster of the week” but when it gets going it’s a great ride.

I hung up a maple 1x6.

The left side has an attached ruler with both metric and ft/in.

The right side has large vinyl numbers for feet (mainly just to look nice).

In between the heights are marked with multicolored Sharpies indicating who is measured and the month/year.

If you haven’t seen it, Ex Machina (2014) fits the vibe of your list. It’s one of my favorites.

The Punt for Red October

(Assuming American Football)

It has my favorite user interface, but I feel that it bogs down after viewing a series of images. I also feel that development has stalled a bit (edit, I was mistaken: they just released a pre release).

I haven’t found a better one, though. Next best so far has been Racoon.
