    Fear Thy Neighbor - General Discussion

    in Fear Thy Neighbor

    I've watched this show since season 1 and it sure has made me cautious of dealing with the neighbors. 

    In the afternoons, I enjoy listening to police calls from my hometown and when they get a neighbor call I know how it will go and I wonder when I'll see it played out on ID. There are neighbor vs. neighbor calls about every other day. Scary. 😬

    Restaurant: Impossible - General Discussion

    Food Network just showed an episode with a restaurant in a Tennessee marina run but a vet with PTSD.   Unless I missed it, there wasn't the usual "Sales are up since Robert's visit and the the owner is reformed" blurb at the end.  I'm guessing this one didn't have a happy ending?

    I noticed that too so I came here to get the scoop! I thought my tv broke.😁

    The series just finished here in the UK on Amazon Prime and wow, what a mess.  

    Dear Writers and Producers of The Sleep Stand 2020:

    1. Please re-cut all episodes and re-release in chronological order ... in medias res worked for Vergil but ya know, it didn't work here.   Why do I care about any of these people?  Where is their struggle and/or character development if you START the series in Boulder?  

    2. Please add back all the film on the cutting-room floor where Ray isn't a needy, weepy, completely insignificant character.

    3.  The Dread Pirate Nick, really?  Please return meaning to his character, like, you know, when he frantically tries to find the bomb and sacrifices himself for everyone else or when he grows into Tom's protector and best friend.  

    4.  "One will fall by the way" is among the most powerful lines in the book (and the earlier series) and you decided to ... change it.  Stu tasting gun oil when Harold dies is one of most powerful moments in the book (and the earlier series) and you decided to ... cut it.  Larry's twins are one (two?) of the most powerful images of life continuing after The Stand and you decided to ... well, you just elimated that entire storyline which was ALSO Larry's path to becoming a 'nice guy'.   His relationship with Joe did not fill that void.  

    5. Why does Amber Heard ... exist.  And what's with that outtake from that middling film Ouija Board to explain Nadine breaking bad.  

    6. Trashcan Man, dear god.  Who made that decision?  Why on earth is he roaming around dressed in a spare costume from a bad BDSM p0rn film?  LIke, I don't NEED to see this guy's dirty knickers to know he's nuts.  What even is he.  AND you blew his plotline!  Flagg didn't order him to get the nuke, he did it out of love!  Arrrgghhhh

    7.  Why oh why oh why did you pretend that every action in The Stand is without purpose??? Stu falls by the way so that he can bear witness to the destruction of Vegas.  Tom is sent to Vegas so that he can save Stu.  Nick dies so that he can appear to Tom and give him the antibiotics Stu needs to live, but of course you decided to eliminate those scenes altogether making Nick's death even MORE pointless ('yeah Tom saved my life.  Oh and Kojak too.  Now I'm gonna do some Texas line-dancing, on the leg that I broke a couple months back.').

    Now perhaps I missed something, but what was the point of Mother Abigail even sending the group to Vegas? Seems like they died for no reason. Flagg sends Trashcan Man out to get a nuke, Trashcan Man comes back to Vegas, drives the bomb into the casino and it explodes, killing everyone except Flagg. So... wouldn't that exact same thing have happened without Our Heroes being there?

    Again, producers, you mucked this one up: the group was sent to *bring everyone in Vegas together in the same place* so Flagg (and they) would all die in the explosion.  Glen's death at Flagg's hands gives Larry and Ralph/Ray the strength they need to Fear No Evil.  Flagg orders all of Vegas to attend the spectacle and then TCM pops up with his brand new nuclear friend and the Hand Of God etc etc etc.  But in this version, everyone is in the Party Palace all night every night, so ...yeah, makes no sense.  

    Ugh.  It's one of my favorite books because it's absolutely terrifying but this mess is like cold underdone scrambled eggs.  No emotion in it.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you.

     And why, oh why did we change the Lincoln tunnel to the NY sewers? 😡

    They both insist that they're "strong, powerful women" Uh....they're not

    Yes, I cringe every time they say that. This weekend I watched "Because We Are Girls" on amazon prime, those women are the epitome of strong and powerful. D & S can only dream about being up to par with those ladies. 😒

    Lenox Hill - General Discussion

    in Lenox Hill

    What has got me thinking is, that during the regular show, there was so much attention and care given with the terminal patients and then when Covid hit they had to make that "call" over and over again. It just kind of rattled my brain how life can change so quickly and unpredictably.
