      "Bones" is a classic example of that, where all the enjoyment departed hence around Season 7 or so & I kept on watching the increasingly tedious crap all the way to S12, which, by happy coincidence, was a 13 ep season, for which relief much thanks.

      In fact, in contrast to the end of "Person of Interest" and "Grimm", the relief at its demise was distinctly palpable & I'd have been quite happy if they'd all <spoiler>fecking died in the explosion.
      I'm never hugely convinced when the hive mind on Twitter and such places insists that something is terrible, or good come to that. I watched Prometheus and thought it was pretty entertaining if you're in the mood for spaceships and Alien-related stuff, but apparently I'm supposed to hate it (and the new one that's just come out).

      As far as I can tell, the reason I'm supposed to hate it isn't anything to do with it as such, but that it's not the same film as a different film that came out thirty years ago

        Indeed it was OK, not Great. Special Effects better than the story.

        As my exes know though, once you have had the best its downhill from there!

              Just got myself a place at the AWS Summit down at Excel in Docklands in late June, and booked a room at the adjacent Premier Inn. Looks like I'll be doing the same procedure as last year: drive down from Cambridgeshire the night before, then drive home afterwards. But I'll be able to go to ClientCo on either the Monday or Friday, and avoid losing a day's billing like I did last year

              Might make it the Friday, as that's the day they send out for bacon cobs and such

                      I think I can see the four horsemen in the far distance.
