  1. I’d be happy just to see them have to compete in a country where they don’t speak the language…
  2. I thought this had the potential to be a long-running series. Finding out that it was cancelled after only two seasons is disappointing. But at least I still have the books… and CJ Box keeps writing more of those.
  3. For a while there I thought we were going to have the first-ever leg where every team lost. Many of these teams are going to have to improve, a lot, and in a hurry, or this season will be less about adventure and more surviving a comedy of errors…
  4. Definitely my favorite Final 3 ever; there are reasons to be happy no matter who wins, and no reason to be upset if a certain team wins. I might even go so far as to say that if any of these teams were in past seasons of TAR, I'd probably be pulling for them to win it all. Since somebody has to win, I hope it's Rob and Corey. But I'd be OK with any order of finish. As for this episode... i would STILL be trying to complete the Riverdance task. My wife and I usually make a comment about which of us would be better suited for a Roadblock, and when we saw that this one involved dancing, we just said "We'd be doomed."
  5. Whiny ol' AL is going to pull a Flo on us, isn't she? I might as well start preparing for the disappointment now... But until then, at least there are three teams left to root for, and a couple more I can almost tolerate.
  6. I guess since there will be no Season 3 my dream of seeing a Mighty Ducks hockey game scene that looks like it was written by someone who had seen a real hockey game will never come true. And I guess we'll never know what happened to the players who were on the six teams that did NOT make it to the Camp Championship Game. Were they on lockdown, or spending time in a really big penalty box? I don't think I saw any of them at the banquet, I'm pretty sure none of them were at the lake, and I know that none of them were at the campfire. Speaking of the campfire scene, of all of the unlikely things that happen in the Mighty Ducks universe, gathering that many 13-year-olds who ALL know all of the words to "Landslide" is the most unlikely. Who would have thought that the Mighty Duck with the best chance of making it to the NHL would be... Nick? As an announcer, not a player, but still....
  7. Apparently there will be a Season Four coming in Fall of 2023. I don't know that they have any original source material to work from, but the characters are so wonderful that they should be able to come up with a decent storyline.
  8. At what point in the sequence "We found the diary!" (Treating as a spoiler in case someone hasn't made it to Episode 3 of Season3 yet.)
  9. The lead's name is Regus Patoff? That wasn't even that funny as a running gag 50 years ago in the Mr. Peabody and Sherman cartoons...
  10. How did Jenny and Beau get to the mine shaft so quickly? Either the stuff with Buck and Sunny was taking place literally 15 feet away, OR we didn't get to see the part where Denise and Emily were rescued and Cassie and Cormac told them "Let's call Jenny and Beau and tell them where you are, and then sit here in this "mineshaft" until they show up." And... after all is said and done, isn't Walter still a murderer, several times over? Donno, as well? This show is where logic goes to die. Hard to believe it comes from the same mind that brought us Joe Pickett. (The books, and the TV series.) I have to think that C.J. Box has very little to do with any of the screenwriting.
  11. OK, I read the thread before asking my question, and it's a good thing I did, because it appears that the answer to "Did I miss something?" is "YES!!!" For the record, streaming this show instead of watching it on regular TV means that you miss the end of some episodes. This episode "ended" before Legarski was shot and the girls were rescued. So when that was shown in the opening of the next episode, we were like "Did we miss an episode?" On the plus side, knowing that we're not going to see stuff will make it easier to start ignoring this show. I love the Joe Pickett books, and am looking forward to however many TV seasons we get of "Joe Pickett." But this? I'm not even sure I want to read the books, if they're as bad as the show.
  12. The difference in the plots is because the movie "The Lincoln Lawyer" is based on the book of the same title, while the series "The Lincoln Lawyer" is based on the second book in the series, The Brass Verdict. (Well, season one was; I hope there are future seasons, and I would expect them to be based on subsequent novels in the series.) And yes, the book version of Mickey Haller is much closer to the Mickey we see in the series, and not much at all like the Matthew McConaughey version from the movie.
  13. All snakes can swim. And, all snakes can climb trees! So don't forget to look up...😁 (However, no snakes are as mean, aggressive or vengeful as some people tend to think.)
  14. It was a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (and not native to Montana... though their range is closer to Montana than the range of Cottonmouths!) And they don't possess that same "Insta-Kill" venom that is so prevalent in Hollywood, so Roarke's death was a bit unrealistic. In reality he would have had tremendous swelling and discoloration around the bite, that would spread as the venom spread, killing tissue. Granted, the face would be a TERRIBLE place to suffer a bite... but it wouldn't have resulted in that quick, foam-at-the-mouth demise. (UNLESS, he was allergic to the venom, like some people are allergic to bee stings. That does happen, and it's really the only way to explain that death occurring from that bite.)
