Does nobody get that the original isn't literally fine with burning alive? I've seen multiple "fixes" that are just needlessly spelling out the subtext.

I dunno. If someone's building a PC, they are most probably using it for more than just chrome-level stuff. And for me at least, if I'm going to spend the time and money on new components, I'm going to get the biggest and best that I can afford/justify. The higher end comments are going to fair much better as tech develops further along, and I consider them an investment into not going through the same process again in just a few years time.

You're getting downvoted unfairly here. Yes, it's the "right" choice to maximize the time with your kids when you can as those moments will go by faster than we think they will, but it's also not the wrong choice to make sure you take care of yourself. Every parent is going to make their own decisions, and nobody's "doing it wrong" as long as the child is reasonably happy and healthy (to the extent uncontrollable forces allow). We're all just getting along here.

Clearly our bodies are telling us to stay in bed, and who are we to say our bodies are wrong?

You're getting downvoted because anything that isn't full-throated condemnation is being a "corporate apologist", but is this really what we want to see corporations being held accountable for? That their chocolate shapes aren't shaped "right"? They're poisoning our planet and profiting off of slavery. This is the smallest of small things to be punishing them over and it's being treated like some crowning achievement. They should 100% be litigated into oblivion, but this ain't it. This is a joke and should be treated as such.

While I'd be interested to see what Moffat would come up with, I'm not convinced it can be replicated. The West Wing was such a perfect mix of everything - cast, writing, timing, etc. It was lightning in a bottle that'll be nigh impossible to match. Even Sorkin never got there with Studio 60 or Newsroom. I love both shows, but they never got to the same level as TWW, particularly in popularity.
