  1. It seems that Baxter is going to be a bit of a villain or at least an asshole who is at war with his ADAs. It should be interesting.
  2. Briscoe didn't actually GO...He was on L&O: Trial By Jury for a few episodes.

    Disney Films

    Just saw "Wish." it's terrible! it's clear that the heroine should have been the villain or at least the star thingie. Once about halfway through, the thing becomes an extremely predictable political polemic. The songs were mediocre as well. The only good joke is when the lamb discovers that he's a baritone.
  4. The original snake oil actually worked, but it was really hard to get so, there were lots of fakes.
  5. He was there from the beginning, sort of, as a guest star who had a three-episode arc early in season one. They brought him back near the end of that season and he was a regular starting Season two.
  6. This is the SERIES finale?!?!?!?!? I had it on the DVR for months and didn't know.
  7. they showed some of season 1 on Sundance. Nice fluffy show.
  8. Ever since Moriarty left, Wolf and Co. made it clear that McCoy and his daughter were estranged.
  9. well, that's because "Bagman" was filmed in 1988. Wolf was trying to sell it for almost two years. So, it WAS an '80s cop show.
  10. she was never going to run in the first place. It was telegraphed near he beginning of the season and since. Being a New Yorker, that's the most realistic part of the show.
  11. yeah, it does. Excluding Jews for being Jewish when there's no reason to do so is antisemitic. Also, wanting to destroy the lives of Every jew in the middle east is antisemitic as well. But that's starting to get off-topic. The producers of THAT film were never saying that Cleo was Jewish. The producers of THIS film were proclaiming that she was BLACK. That was the whole point of the thing.
  12. The people who objected to Gal Gadot were entirely antisemitic supporters of Palestinian revanchism. https://7news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/casting-of-white-actress-gal-gadot-as-cleopatra-draws-anger-but-for-misguided-reason-c-1381497 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-54529836
  13. The objections to Gal Godot were pure antisemitism. They objected to her because she's Israeli and they hate Israel and all things Jewish. A really good podcast on the subject of the series in question: https://www.thearchaeologist.org/blog/why-everyone-hates-netflixs-cleopatra
  14. Not possibly Black. DEFINATELY Black. Promoting the notorious historical lie was the whole point of this entire season. The History was bad, the acting was mediocre, and the whole thing was a shambles. This was worse than the History Channel's "It was ALIENS!!!!" series. https://www.thearchaeologist.org/blog/why-everyone-hates-netflixs-cleopatra
  15. ...who was one of the greatest comedians of all time.
  16. She's in there, but her death is treated like it was a nice thing to do. (she's also depicted as Subsaharan as were Ptolomies 12, 13 and 14).
  17. I agree, but sometimes they get in trouble if they do it wrong (a Black woman as Anne Bolyen, just doesn't work unless Henry VIII and the rest of the court are as well, or it's an entirely fantasy situation like SIX) However, and this is the main point, this is NOT historical fiction. This is a dramatic DOCUMENTARY, one of whose argument was that Cleo was BLACK in order to instill racial and ethnic pride in African Americans.
  18. Okay, since this is about dead royals and the site's primarily about TV, Here's an example of how NOT to discuss a historical documentary you've not seen yet. I just binged it last night, and it's not particularly good. It's also a bit racist. But as the reviewer hadn't seen it yet, it's totally clueless. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/05/02/opinion/netflix-queen-cleopatra-black/
  19. No. A poll tax is in fact a POLE tax. If you didn't pay up, they would hit you with a pole, or something like that. It's a tax on breathing pretty much. It turns out that Anne did the same thing as Charles:
  20. They will now address the title of the series.
  21. I hope this helps....if you can get past the paywall. https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-to-solve-americas-wild-deer-problem-eat-them-11625842696
