Season three is one the better seasons of television in the history of the medium, easily top 10. Season five is still really damn good, better than most seasons of other really good shows.

I don't think it's the best show, I rank it number 2, but it's definitely top three, with Breaking Bad and The Sopranos. The Wire just so happens to be the most quotable show of all-time that isn't The Simpsons.
Well, that's, like, your opinion, man. 8-)

First of the televised election debates tonight. Just Corbyn and Boris which really pissed off the Lib Dems and SNP.
These things are completely pointless, both of them just stood there bullshitting, waffling and talking over each other.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Swedish state media says it was an even debate, so I suppose Boris won.

No, that's fair. Neither or them screwed up or shined.
Boris has more charisma and Corbyn appears more serious but they both dodged questions and gave politician answers.
Neither was prepared to really go after Prince Andrew for example, both just mouthed platitudes about the victims.

Yea, but Corbyn is behind in the polls so if he isn't clearly winning the debates he will lose.

Whether Boris gets the majority required is still in doubt though.
I see a lot of voters from both sides moving towards the Lib Dems.
The chances of another hung Parliament are still high.

That sounds like Boris won. Charisma > "Appears more serious"

The polls say a lot of voters are moving away from the Lib Dems, so seems like wishful thinking on your part.
