This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition and 2017 edition
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. More Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs should be posted elsewhere on FT as should topics better suited to other forums such as Travel Products for questions about luggage or Travel Photography for discussion about cameras.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

Two great shows to start off the new year
1) The Marvelous Mrs.Maisel 8/10
Anchored by the increible lead, more sincere than Master of None, less tainted than Louie, period drama have NEVER been THIS good since Mad Men
2) The End of the ****ing World 8.5/10
Amazing duo, increible cinematography, timeless music, sharply twisted and stylish almost to a fault. Likely the best black comedy of the decade, the 21st century's adoption of a graphic novel that is more like "A Clockwork Orange"
