Entries are officially open! Entries open immediately and close October 13th at 6 pm CST (which is Midnight GMT). Please use PM only. Some changes for this round: 1. You must send me 2 subs for your TV show. It is a requirement to send me subs in your selection. Without them it will not count 2. I've outlawed News Shows, Infomercials, and Sports. This is due to feedback from last round. I've left in Game Shows + Talk shows. I am using the Wiki definition for those genres of shows when deciding what qualifies. Please reach out if you have questions. 3. All selections from the previous round, except those that were eliminated due to duplicate selection, are not allowed for this round. Please ask questions or point out issues. I am always open to feedback. Thanks again to @Bibliogryphon for being my inspiration with this pool

During undergrad, I would have failed any of my theme park management classes by having a momentary lapse like that!

Charles III of France died on this day 1094 years ago, aged 50. - Charles was the posthumous son of King Louis II- despite being the heir apparent after his older half-brother Carloman II's death in 884, the crown went to his cousin Charles III of Italy. - In 888, the nobility continued to snub Charles of the crown after the other Charles' death by electing Odo, the count of Paris, king (albeit Charles was only 9 years old at this time). Charles became king at the age of 19, when Odo died after a 10-year reign. - Charles is responsible for the creation of the Duchy of Normandy following a Viking attack (led by Rollo, William the Conqueror's direct great-great-great grandfather) in 911. - The French nobility would rebel against Charles due to his favoritism of his advisor, Hagano (a relative of his first wife, Frederuna). In 922, they organized a revolt led by Odo's brother Robert, whom they declared their rightful king. Charles would be captured in battle in 923, and spent the last six years of his life imprisoned. - Charles' epithet, "The Simple", stems from "simplex"- meaning either "loyal" or "without guile" (likely the latter in this case). Other demeaning epithets included "The Foolish" ("insipiens"), "The Inferior" ("minor"), and "The Stupid" ('hebes").

Ah well. I've now listened to all the songs that I didn't know and can confirm that that last vote from Root Inspector was hilariously bad in both regards, but such is musical taste. Haven't added many to my list of those I wish to see through. Let's see what happens.

TQR finds this question extremely stupid.

Prob my fave Smashing Pumpkins song. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is an awesome album.

We've just done the entire S4 (final season) of Sex Education in one big long sitting. OH was very dubious beforehand and I had an open mind but didn't know what to expect of it. We both adored it. So many genuinely powerful and emotional moments this series, but the writers know exactly when to throw in a moment of levity just enough to bring you back up again. Tears one moment, laughter the next. It is a joyous world to be immersed in and you get so, so attached to so many of the characters that you yearn to be there, in their world. What a series. What a show. I can't wait to escape reality for a bit and watch it all start to finish again. I also wish the show was around when I was secondary school age. It'd have helped me and countless other adolescents a great deal.
