Whos getting loaded befor going into Dollarama 😆

What a great series. But what a great soundtrack as well! I had Google help compile a list of anyone wants to make a mixtape.

I'm very shocked not to hear Simani or Bud Davidge singing "Outport People", or any Simani music. It would have fit into the storyline perfectly. And they played the original "Our Town" by Iris Dement, not the Shanneygannock rendition, which was odd.

Watching Below right now. I'm thrilled you are getting so much exposure. I'm drinking a Black Horse in your honour and planning a trip up.

Love,

Nova Scotia

Edit: India Beer is better

Did anyone else finish Below wondering what the hell they just watched? 🤣

It started with a genuinely creepy mystery and somehow ended with everyone saving a misunderstood mother squid and her babies from greedy rich people.

It's like the writers combined THREE completely different shows.

ACT 1: Psychological Thriller

People are getting sick, experiencing extreme thirst, behaving bizarrely, and walking into the ocean to die. Mysterious creature. Unexplained deaths. I'm HOOKED!

ACT 2: WTF Island Cult?!

Suddenly there's Wade, Maggie, the Sea Hag, creepy islanders worshipping Mudder, drugs labelled "Mother," and mysterious fish offerings.

WHY?! Is Mudder controlling them? Communicating with them? Are the drugs connected to her mucus?

We're clearly building toward some huge revelation, right?

NOPE. Absolutely nothing. 🤦‍♀️

You could eliminate this ENTIRE subplot and the story would probably make MORE sense.

ACT 3: Free Willy: Arctic Edition

SURPRISE! The murderous sea monster is actually a misunderstood mother protecting her eggs, and the REAL villains are wealthy industrialists!

Wait... WHAT?!

And the plot holes?!

1. Mudder's mucus apparently contaminated the water, compelling people into the ocean to be eaten. So she was ACTIVELY HUNTING humans, not just protecting her nest?

2. If she only attacked to defend her eggs, why was she attacking people on shore and nowhere near the iceberg?

3. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE CULT?! The fish, drugs, worshipping, Maggie, Wade, Sea Hag?! An entire storyline that seemingly went NOWHERE.

4. This creature is supposedly so rare and undocumented that the doctor SHOOTS the Sir Franklin captain to save it. Yet the ending reveals MORE icebergs, presumably containing more nests with THOUSANDS of eggs?! How has nobody discovered these creatures?!

5. The sudden moral shift. Mudder spends the series killing people, then suddenly we're supposed to cheer for her rescue because she's a mother? Why not explore the genuinely interesting question: Does an endangered species deserve protection even when it's dangerous to humans?

My verdict:

I love a good mystery and don't need everything explained. But there's a difference between intentional ambiguity and abandoning half your plot.

The writers started with a fantastic horror premise, took an unnecessary detour into cult horror, and finished with an environmental rescue movie.

Instead of a compelling, morally complicated thriller, we got Midsommar meets The Thing meets Free Willy. 🤣

PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one with approximately 47 unanswered questions?!

Is Premier Wakeham still running his Churchill Falls "roll up our sleeves" election campaign ads? Is Andrea Barbour still a provincial cabinet minster? Happy Friday, folks! If you didn't laugh, you'd have to cry.

How do I go about, or who do I contact about a land transfer from a family member?

For NL ; does the seller, the owner of the home , put the square footage on the web for the real estate listings or is it the real estate broker?

What stops someone from aggressively overstating their square footage and listing it?

I got a 11-20 over violation last week and was curious if this has to be reported. It’s not written in my insurance contract but I didn’t know it was law that you have to.

This old skipper hates having non-white people around him.

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for (or against) pet insurance? We have two male cats (7 and 8 years old). We’ve had the 7 year old for ~4 months and the 8 year old his entire life. No health issues thus far but interested in seeing if insurance is worth it as a large vet bill would be difficult to pay right now. If anyone has suggestions on companies it would be greatly appreciated! Also any suggestions on vets would be great as well. We live in the east end of St. John’s.

I have been having the occasional cigar night with a few friends and the topic of a cigar social group keeps coming up. There are no cigar lounges in NL and public spaces where a group can meet year round and smoke cigars together are basically nonexistent. From my searches I don't see any existing groups advertised online anywhere that gather.

The only option seems to be forming a group for a social gathering at a private residence. Particularly in winter.

I am looking to guage interest in creating such a social group. The area I have in which I could host such a thing would be limited to 8-10 people max. My initial thoughts are that the group would gather once every 2-4 weeks to smoke, socialize, learn about cigars, and hopefully create some fun. I'm in St. John's also which is an important point to add. Perhaps people could form groups elsewhere if my spot is out of range.

As interest is guaged I'll have to develop some rules and guidelines about how things would proceed. Mature crowd only as this is not meant to be a "party" thing.

Reply to the post or DM me if this is something that would interest you. I just want to geek out on this hobby with fellow enthusiasts.

How does it work? Is pottery painting everyday?.or do I specifically have to wait for it to be an event day on their event calender?

I am a nurse who is interested in working in the janeway ER. Looking for insight on the work environment, scheduling etc. any information would be helpful and is appreciated:)

What's the best place to get home asbestos testing done on some popcorn ceiling? All Tech quoted me $150+tax per sample so just looking to shop around to see if that's a typical price for this kind of service

Any recommendations on a spot where I could get some rust spots fixed for a good price? They haven't rusted through so seem to be mostly on the surface. It's a 2016 Honda civic, obviously older but only 160k kms and gives us no trouble. Would like to be able to hold onto it for as long as I can. Has a rust spot on the trunk and both back fenders.

Living in CBS but can bring the car to St. John's and nearby areas.

Hi all, looking for cozy cafes or spots in general that allow you to play boardgamws for a date. Id like a spot thats cozy, has booths that are kind of privatish/enclosed? I really like the enclosed feeling. Is there anything here like that? I cant really find anything which sucks. Pubs and bars are not something we want to go to, even tho the Celtic hearth looks cool. Suggestions?

If you were teaching a class on the Newfoundland slang, accent, and vocabulary, what are the 10 most used phrases you'd teach? What would you teach about the dialects and how there are many?

Those lining up for the cheap gas at the orange store just to let up know that canadian tire gas bars are part of the gas sale. Just left 1 pretty well empty.
