Tension builds, and never really resolves - it's a frustrating listen

I doubt that the incinerator was big enough, and that's what the "icky specifics" covers...

There are plenty of shows "about" subjects that you really don't need to have any interest in to enjoy, because the show is actually about the characters. Like Succession, is any knowledge about or passion for corporate takeovers necessary? In Ted Lasso, the sport is there to motivate the characters, and is only very occasionally on screen.

Sorry, I've Got No Head - a kids show, but has a lot of familiar faces (if you watch British comedy).

I'm not blaming her at all - I meant that she'd have a good idea of whether or not the singer is a crowdsurfer, regardless of a venue sign being present or not. It's either the singer's fault for launching into the crowd with absolutely no warning, or the rest of the crowd for seeing the singer coming and scattering from around her.

I'd argue that a "no crowdsurfing" sign would, for a punk band, be like a red rag to a bull... Given that she'd attended lots of their shows in the past, I think she'd have had a better gauge of how likely crowdsurfing was, sign or no.

Crowdsurfing only works well if it is clearly telegraphed by the surfer, and willingly accepted by the crowd - think like an enthusiastic trust fall. Given that she's 5'6, I can't see how she would have been landed on full force unless there was basically no warning, or the rest of the crowd around her totally bailed (in which case no-one would jump)

You'd use a wet blanket to smother a fire.

Sean Bean is a stage name. His birth name? Shaun Bean.

Makes sense for numbering floors - ground is zero. How many floors should there be between -1 and 2?
