Again, you display poor reading skills.

“I apologize for overestimating your reading skills.”

Nothing I wrote indicates fear.

It’s easy to laugh at you.

Sorry.

NYC = New York City. The City police are NYPD. The guys planting the gun

EMS = Emergency Medical Service. When the movie was made, EMS was a semi-independent agency. It didn’t pay as much as the Police or Fire [still doesn’t]

EMT = Emergency Medical Technician. Basically, “ambulance driver” but don’t call an EMT an ambulance driver unless you want to insult them. It’s a job title like ‘nurse,’ but in this case refers specifically to people working for the City EMS.

So, when actual City employees see fictional versions of themselves telling the Police to fuck off, it’s very popular.

Sorry about the jargon.

I left ‘Vikings’ off my list because it seems to be much better known than the other two.

Please pass the idea on the ‘Buffy, the Vampire Slayer.’

Thanks.

I found a Serbian language trailer and I must say I want to see more.

What platform is it on?

Also, go back a few years, BBC show ‘Reilly, Ace of Spies.’ Based on an actual Russian Jew who became a British agent before WW1 broke out.

Liked both.

I do like historicals.

I can’t understand why “Black Sails” isn’t as famous as Game of Thrones.

More sex and violence than GOT with a much quicker pace.

Another good one is ‘TURN - George Washington’s Spies.’ Shows Washington as a slave owner and Benedict Arnold as justifiably angry. Cool espionage tricks from the 18th Century, like putting secret messages in hard boiled eggs.

What sort of job do you have where you can’t use the interwebs?

I guess pushing a broom takes two hands at all times.

I apologize for overestimating your reading skills.

To each his own, I guess.

To quote the meme, I like this one better.

Similar.

Left work after the election had been called and had to travel home wondering WTF was going to happen.

And then, it got worse.

It’s hard for people to conceive how monumentally stupid Donald Trump really is.

I think of it this way. He could have extorted $50 billion out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2017. Instead he figured that he could sell his fans NFTs.

It’s completely on brand for him to start a war

The old one you never heard of.

“Report To The Commissioner” 1970s Time Square movie about a police involved shooting leading to a hostage situation. Has one of the most hair raising chase scenes ever filmed.

“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” I get that everyone was sick of Brangelina by the time the movie came out, but it’s got enough comedy for a comedy movie, enough action for a thriller, and enough romance for a dozen rom-coms.

“Honey, please don’t undermine me in front of the hostage.”

I know a few NYC EMS EMTs. The opening, where the EMT calls the cops out for planting the gun, is always popular.

[off topic?]

“Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail. A series of self tests assess your skills and a list of jobs that use your skills.

It pointed me at a career I’d never even considered.

I always thought that I just hated working, I found out that having the right job makes all the difference.

Poul Anderson was a contemporary of Asimov. Anderson had a whole ‘future history’ about the Terran Empire.

I got kicked off Reddit for posting that punching Nazis was a good thing.

I got a great career that I never expected from reading this book.

Good luck.
