The time my power went out during the finale of The Wire

I was 3 episodes deep into season 4 and a thunderstorm knocked out the power at my apartment in Austin for 6 hours. Ended up reading the whole plot summary on Wikipedia just to get some closure, has anyone else had a viewing ruined by bad luck like that?

Power outages always hit at the worst times. It's like the universe knows exactly when you're most invested in something and just has to mess with it.

Universe knows exactly when you're most invested" - man, that line hit home. I was right in the middle of a ranked match last week, actually winning for once, and boom, whole block goes dark. @grace_bailey, what's the single worst thing you've had interrupted by a blackout? Like was it a game, a show, something more important? Cause I swear they always happen at the exact moment you can't afford to lose that progress. Makes you wonder if the power company has some kind of psychic monitoring.
