I know there are lots of posts and YouTube videos. But for the life of me I just can't achieve anything. So far the automated frothing from the BB+ has been achieving a semblance of well frothed milk (sometimes), but when on manual mode I can never achieve enough creamy consistent milk, enough to do any art on top. It just dissolves into the coffee, or it makes a weird shape that can't be shaped.

Been at this for months now. Can't seem to start to try to make latte art

I don't know anybody in real life that watches this show so I guess I can talk here.

I absolutely LOVED that they killed Red John in ep 6 of a new season. If they did that at the end of S05 then S06 would have been a completely different show and a lot of viewers wouldn't return because they would feel satisfied with the end of the story and wouldn't mark their calendars with a new season a year later.

I liked that we got to see Jane get to the finish line more desperate and emotional, and see him finally be able to rest right after.

Shutting down the CBI didn't make any sense. Too immediate, no real justification.

The show turned into a contradictory mess right after RJ. I'm ok with the FBI hiring him, with him not giving a shit and running circles around Abbot and Fischer (remember the list of Blake Association names he bluffed in order to get them to meet his demands at the beginning? where did that go?) until they settled into a friendship. I like the general direction of show after Red John, it wasn't bad and the characters needed to go somewhere that made sense.

How the hell did Jane not see Fischer for who she was when they met in Mexico? Same as with Lorelei, he had a semi-date in which he responded ambiguously to everything while being a babbling mess. He should know that in a normal date that doesn't get you anywhere. I understand he was devoid of human interactions so he was starving, but there's no way Fischer could lie to him and trick him.

Then the inconsistencies:
- he wrote to her all the time while being away for two years. That screams love, and he should be aware of such simple fact. Also writing all the time to the only person you like is a dead giveaway even for someone in denial. And the more you write to someone, the deeper each letter gets, the deeper the connection gets. And he is a fucking human behaviour scanner.
- once everyone is back and in the FBI, they are not as close as they were before, probably so they could ramp it up later, but it didn't feel normal.
- everyone in the US think there's something between them. Except for Cho, who we have seen being excellent for judging these kinds of things
- the cases they investigate got a lot dumber, and so did his conclusions. He realised the ring-leader was a woman because he was told the leader was ego-free and that couldn't ever be a man? many cases were solved like this. Also Van Pelt knew that someone was hunting her and Rigsby and just fell asleep without checking windows, doors, and not having a gun nearby? no high tech cameras surveilling her own hotel room? its like everyone got dumber
- I understand that after the RJ arc was done, now we needed to see Jane fix his emotional/love life, but the show turned into a soap opera in many episodes. The final scene was an airport catch! I was furious. The speech at the airplane. No. Fucking no. No marshall, no police anywhere, I thought this was so devoid of sense that they were about to break into song.
- There's absolutely no watercooler conversation about how now they get to say "FBI" and everyone understands what it is. Missed opportunity for a meta joke.

I didn't like that Lisbon just did whatever someone offered her. During the whole show, she showed no dreams, no goals to chase.

I liked that Rigsby & Van Pelt's arc was them maturing into a family. I liked that Cho's arc was dry, just as him. I liked that Fischer was cold until she became a friend.

But the last season, man... it looks like fanfic.

Hi leute!

Got a question for the locals, how is the industry right now for you? I know its been shit since 2022, but is it picking up?

I'm a 1ac from overseas who is living now in Berlin. My german is not safe for work yet so I've been working mostly in artist circles (in english) doing small jobs here and there, but I come from high end commercials and a couple of features. I feel I'm getting rusty not being on an actual set.

In your opinion, are there any job circles in which english is more accepted on-set? I worked on a streaming show once and that was all in english, but since then I haven't come across much I could get into. I was offered some gigs as a substitute 1ac for some german shows but they required (understandably) fluent german, so I couldn't take any.

(I am in the process of learning of course, but it takes a lot of time, and until then I still need to work. I do feel at fault not knowing the language yet, don't worry about shaming me, I'm already ashamed of myself haha)
