    Steve Hofstetter is a great comedian and has the best comebacks. He is wasted on this “explaining words to Kevin Sorbo”-series, there’s no character growth, no shred of understanding, no positive character arc, Kevin just keeps mouth-shitting bullpucky every week and Steve or Lucy Lawless or a five year old have to explain to him that he’s saying dumb shit.

      Steve Hofstetter is a national treasure.

      But Lucy Lawless teasing Kevin? That I have to see.

      I enjoyed it up till the last season. The last season was just dumb and kind of a temporary reset.

      Basically Andromeda is ‘we have Star Trek Discovery (in the 32nd century) at home.’

      All the shit Discovery skipped rebuilding the Federation is basically in Andromeda.

      If you can get past the pro religion undertones. But it was a ok show, kinda a cross between Farscape and Star Trek but the worst of both of them.

      I enjoyed it. I have the ability to not care about the actors real life personality though. It’s an alright show. If you like stargate, -trek and farscape type shows and can see past the actor, you’ll probably enjoy it.

    I’d like to say I boycott chick-fil-A because of the anti gay thing but its because I actually tried it awhile back and was like meh. Certainly not worth the price and that was way before the recent inflation times. Its the same with walmart. Wish it was prinicple but man even the parking lot triggers me. Actually being in the store is just hell.

        Yeah my wife and I drove down to virginia and there was one across from where we were staying and I could not believe the line. Its like if it were cheap with no line I might buy their faire. And I mean I will shell out and wait for quality. There is a non chain burger place by me that has really limited hours run by some brothers. It opens for lunch and then just late enough so folks can pick something up on the way home from work so like 6pm or something. Always has a line and man it is worth it.

        I’m confident that it’s part of their marketing. Every store near me has a drive-thru line that impedes traffic and/or crosses over itself. I think this is so that you drive past one and cant help but go ‘oh! look at how much demand they have,’ as you are stuck the the line to get into their line.

      I never got the whole Chick-fil-A thing. It’s just a fast food chicken sandwich. It’s good, as far as fast food chicken sandwiches go, but that’s it. It’s definitely not the orgasmically awesome food experience some people make it out to be.

        It’s consistently good, and the service is second to none. Every other fast food place has some bad locations, or you show up at the wrong time and it’s not fresh, the service is terrible, or the people working there are clearly just not trying.

        Chick-Fil-A maintains consistency by limiting their hours and treating their employees better. Their ingredients are also top notch for fast food. Good salads.

        And good soda fountains. Chick-Fil-A and Whataburger are the only two places left with good fountain Coke.

        I still hate their politics, but there’s a reason they’ve always got a line around the block at lunchtime, and it’s not because the service is slow (because it isn’t).

          Not all of us have decent fast food chicken chains; out on the West Coast I had 4 Chick-fil-A within easy driving distance before I had one Raising Cane’s or Popeye’s within an hour of my house.

          Plus, Chick-fil-A is almost more about the sauce than the chicken. The chicken is ok, but the sauce is chef’s kiss

            Honestly that is just sad to me. Unless its something like pizza or pasta a place should not be riding on the quality of its sauce.

              I’m not sure I agree; think about barbeque, Mexican food, Chinese food, curry, salad dressing… Hell, eggs benedict. Ask any chef if sauce is important, and they’ll tell you that there’s traditionally an entire position in high-end kitchens dedicated almost exclusively to sauces (saucier). Since a sauce can be as much an integral part of a meal as the breading on the chicken, I tend to disagree.

              Your preferred style of fried chicken sandwich may not heavily feature sauce, but other styles do.

                Im not saying sauce isn’t important but if its all you bring to the table its not going to be enough. Especially the main ingredient like chicken in a chicken sandwich. I mean its great if the sauce is great but if the thing minus sauce not good or even meh then even the best will not save it.

                  Fair. I’m still of the opinion that a good sauce can save a mediocre meal and that’s not necessarily a problem, but I respect your opinion as well

    It’s not actually that simple.

    The difference between boycotting vs “just not eating there” is that the former is a loud movement, instead of a simple quiet preference that the free market will take care of itself.

    Kevin is implying that people who don’t band together to actively fight wrongdoing are somehow superior. However what he’s really advocating for is divide and conquer in order to maintain the status quo.

    Steve is usually funny and correct, but this time in doing so has missed a greater, more important, point.

        Analyzing it is complex, but the behavior itself is more instinctual. I think Kevin feels the difference, but doesn’t think about it rationally.

        I do think categorizing Steve’s comments as “wrong” vastly oversimplified the exchange, though. He’s pulling the emotional argument Kevin is making into a rational one, which is the point of the exchange.

    This is partially my fault. When people started to boycott chick fillet I misheard their call to action and enacted a blockade upon their establishments. He must have seen one of the frigates I had patrolling in the parking lot and mistaken boycott for blockade.

    One correction for Sorbo: People weren’t boycotting Chik-fil-a for “being christian”. There are tens of thousands of businesses that are “christian”. It was Chik-fil-a’s large donations to homophobic groups and the president of the company at the time Dan Cathy (and current Chairman of the Board) making public homophobic statements.

    Be whatever religion you want, but when you use your money and power to repress other people, that’s where you earn a boycott.

      I’d argue chic-fil-a is especially NOT Christian for refusing to love their neighbor as themselves.

          I will similarly argue there was a WHOLE lot of bad done by folks labeling themselves as Christians during that time period.

          I’m not a Christian, but I was raised as one and I know what I was taught goes in the face of most of all of the things they do.

              The true Christians are the ones that are good and do everything we agree on. Meanwhile the true Muslims are the ones that value Jihad and violence above everything else. Not like those Christians (the good ones).

              Are you even American?

          Bible god wasn’t ambiguous about being pro slavery and women as property, or war, or genocide, or hardening hearts violating free will, or.

          Also never speaks up to distance himself from the monsters using his name in vain.

          Good christians never read the book.

        The rules are all made up and the points don’t matter. They’re just a Christian as any other Christian I’ve ever met.
