We actually watched it here at home, though they basically just tacked it onto the end of season 5. You probably missed it because—get this—they kept messing with the schedule! One minute it’s airing on Fridays in January, then suddenly they switch it back to the usual Monday through Thursday thing. It was all over the place for a few weeks.

I guess I was wrong after all... I didn't finish the whole thing.😁 . You guys are totally right.
One reason I thought that "missing" episode didn't exist is because CBS has this annoying habit of skipping stuff—like, remember when they skipped those episodes of Mick where Rodney marries Cassandra or that one about the Dutch diamonds? I'm pretty sure back in season three, Fox aired episodes 3, 4, and 5 before they even got to 1, 2, and 3.

Dana Anderson4 said:Yeah, you're right—there are actually about two posts up there covering that! It turns out she was supposed to show up at the end of season five—that's how it was originally written, anyway—but they just didn't get around to filming her in time. Such a bummer, honestly!

No way in hell that I missed it—I mean, seriously, I was glued to the screen every single night it aired! I made it my personal mission to catch every single episode live, so there’s just no chance I skipped over anything.

Fox really knocked it out of the park with that one—they definitely didn't let us down!
The latest episodes have been... okay, I guess? Just kind of middle-of-the-road—though, honestly, that one with the bowling was actually pretty great! And man, those last five minutes of the finale where they bring in "Our Town"... absolutely perfection. Seriously, it was so good I can pretty much forgive them for everything else.

Honestly, out of everything we've watched lately, the absolute highlight has gotta be that scene where Chigliak starts guarding the house from Morris—it’s just hilarious how he totally starts acting exactly like him! 😁.

So, I just finished watching the latest episode on Fox. It looks like they’re starting the whole thing over from scratch tomorrow. Even though the last four or five episodes felt a little thin—kind of lacking that old spark, you know?—the show is still honestly top-tier. As much as Joel used to drive me absolutely insane, I actually found myself missing him during these final few episodes.
Fox skipped an entire episode, though—you know, the one that was supposed to continue Anastasia's story.

Honestly, this show still hits just as hard. There’s something about it—I don't know—that just helps you totally zone out from how messy and ugly real life can be right now. That one episode where Morris and Holing head out into the wilderness to attend a friend's funeral? Man, that was easily my favorite. And then there's Chris's whole obsession with elections and democracy 😁. It's just... yeah.

Hey, would a moderator mind deleting this thread if it’s not too much trouble? Thanks!

So, what did the OP say right at the jump? "People have taken advantage of my kindness and my naivety way too many times."

And then there’s this part—"Because I’ve always felt like I’d give someone the shirt off my back just to help them through a rough patch, but almost every single time, I end up getting burned."

Honestly, you're worrying way too much about what everyone else thinks while doing a massive disservice to yourself—like, a total injustice to *you*. You're barely even considering your own needs here. It makes it look like you're totally dependent on other people's approval.

That’s the golden rule right there. We're living in a natural selection kind of world where the strong survive. Seems like the guy who started this thread might be struggling a bit with his own self-esteem—maybe something worth looking into.

Maybe I’m just a little slow on the uptake, honestly—just a total klutz when it comes to this stuff.

So, basically, what’s the move when life throws you a curveball? Like, how do you actually deal with being caught totally off guard? It's a bit of a struggle for me because—let's be honest—I am definitely not an expert at staying cool under pressure. If I have plenty of time to prep, sure, I can pull it together and look okay, but if something just hits me out of nowhere? Man, a little bit of panic starts creeping in, my hands get all shaky, and then I’m left feeling like I didn't exactly wow the person sitting across from me. I'm talking about work stuff. I recently got this sudden call for an interview—just out of the blue—and even though I think I did a decent job highlighting my skills, I’m pretty sure they clocked my nerves the second I walked through the door. My hands were shaking, no lie. And yeah, I'll admit it, I maybe took things a bit too lightly and wasn't as prepared as I should've been. But what happens when I'm actually on the job and something unexpected pops up? How do you handle that? It feels like I have this set path I walk where I feel totally confident, but the moment I have to take a sudden detour down a different street, I'm completely lost. I know, I know—it's basically just my anxiety acting up—but if anyone has some real-world experience or a way to fix this, please, hit me up! Seriously, I'm just not built for getting blindsided by stuff that comes out of nowhere. I really want to learn how to master the whole "expect the unexpected" thing.

Anthony Perez9 said:I’ve never quite wrapped my head around how people who lean so heavily on faith for their mental and spiritual stability can still get so easily wounded emotionally.

Where do you guys think that irrational urge to get all emotionally wounded just because someone disagrees with you actually comes from? It feels like such a toxic giveaway.😲

It’s all just part of the mechanism. Identifying your entire ego with some random ideology. What a joke. It’s a cluster of ideas, really. You start feeling like the ideology is actually you—part of your DNA—so when someone calls out your position, you take it as a personal hit. You snap back to defend yourself, but you're really just defending a bubble of thoughts that your ego decided to latch onto.

Why would an atheist's attitude and their critique of a massive set of ideas even bother someone who believes?
If faith is enough on its own, there’s really nothing left to defend.
Even a believer will feel bad for an atheist—not just because they're headed straight for Jesus's hell, but because they're missing out on all the good stuff that faith brings to a believer's life.

Why do believers lose their minds the second you poke fun at Jesus, God, the Bible, the Quran, Krishna, some guru, or Muhammad?

People really love tying their whole identity to an ideology—it’s all about the aesthetic and the ego, none of it actually being about what they believe.

Actually, I think we're asking the wrong thing here. A much better question would be: "Why are atheists so obsessed with God and religion if, according to what they claim, He doesn't even exist?" It's funny, really—so many atheists these days spend a massive amount of time acting like they're the smartest people in the room. They tend to look down on anyone who believes, and then, get this, they expect everyone to treat their opinion as the absolute truth. Of course, a believer is going to get annoyed when someone acts like they're somehow superior or more enlightened than everyone else. In their eyes, being a believer makes you a primitive. Honestly, it usually just comes down to some deep-seated personal complexes.
