Supposedly the temperature of the cigarette is below the flash point of gasoline. Did anyone else suffer through the final season of Star Trek: Discovery? Re: Things I hate about TV shows Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Reverend Jim Why is it that when people in shows light a fire (like when setting a vehicle on fire) with a lighter, they always throw the lighter into the puddle of gasoline? Do they not realize that a lighter is reusable? On a related note, researchers tried hundreds of times to ignite a puddle of gasoline by throwing a burning cigarette into it. They were … Re: Things I hate about TV shows Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Dani > Do they not realize that a lighter is reusable? They do it to show how they live life on the edge by proving to the world (and the television audience) they won't have any more use for a lighter. > They were successful exactly zero times.

I saw it a couple of years ago. Sticking with the Sci-fi genre, although a bit more lighthearted, my husband and I are currently watching Resident Alien. Re: What are you watching on TV? Community Center Geeks' Lounge by pritaeas I liked the concept, but some choices in the movie I remember I thought were strange. However, this is a while back, so please don't ask specifics. Resident Alien started funny, but didn't grab my attention. Latest I quite liked was "Vis-a-vis" (Spanish). Re: What are you watching on TV? Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Reverend Jim We watched Resident Alien. Liked season 1 but it kind of petered out after that. I have not heard of 3%. What is it about and who is in it?

Re: Things I hate about TV shows Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Reverend Jim Fer sher. You pretty much have to watch the previous season again before you start the next one. I'm still waiting for season 2 of The Old Man (Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow). At my age sometimes I lose the thread if two weeks goes by between episodes. Sometimes I'll wait until the end of a season before I watch any of it.
