  1. Enjoyed it enough to continue watching. The three time jumps was a little hard to follow. It reminds of another American show from last year that seems to be the same plot. It's funny to see the Governor, with an English accent, with Lydia from Breaking Bad. The ironic thing is that I just got through watching the BB finale with a friend who had never seen it.
  2. Super Bowl Sunday was the one of the worst sports experiences of my life and for more reasons that any have stated here. My big difference than most is that I am a Falcons fan(since I was a kid) and also a Pats fan. Been a NE fan since 2000. I lived and died with the Pats winning the SB's and losing them. But, the Falcons are still my home team, so I was rooting for them. And the Pats have multiple SB's and the Falcons none. So, it seemed like a fun SB. My Falcons get their first SB trophy or Brady gets his fifth. My one hope was that it was a good game and no one was a goat at the end(miss an easy FG, drop a winning TD pass, etc.) But, who could have seen that coming...25 point and blow it.....Noooooo!!, are you serious?!?!? There are three types of losses... 1. The other team is just better...the Falcons lost to Denver in the SB in the 90's. They were the better team. I was disappointed, but tipped my hat to them and was over it quickly. 2. You are supposed to win and lose. This is crushing. The Pats lost twice to NY and in nauseating ways. 3. You have a big lead and blow it. The worst. It can be haunting. The Red Sox, Yankees, Braves and Golden State have experienced this in Championships Series and it lingers for a long time. It's the 3rd quarter and the Falcons have a 28-3 lead. There are four things that have to happen for the Falcons to lose. 1. The Pats have to play good. 2. The Falcons have to play bad. 3. There has to be a miracle catch. 4. And the Falcons have to be stupid. With that 28-3 lead, the Falcons run the ball only four times the rest of the game? Really? Even with the Pats finally scoring a TD and FG with under 10 minutes to go...the Falcons had the ball with a 28-12 lead. Here is where the stupid starts... With third down and one to go on about the 40, they opt to pass it. The RB misses his block and Ryan gets sacked and fumbles. What were they thinking? Run the ball, if you don't get it, kick it and they have to go the length of the field twice with under 8 minutes left. So the Pats score. To the Falcons credit, they moved the ball and Julio Jones makes an incredible catch that at the time seemed to save the SB for the Falcons. With first down at the 22 with 4 minutes left, run the ball three times and run the clock down or make the Pats use their time outs. Then, kick a FG. In these scenarios, the Falcons lead by 11 with about 2:30 left and the Pats have two timeouts left or there is about 3:30 left and the Pats have no timeouts. I really like my chances. But, nooo, the Falcons have to pass three times, get sacked, get a penalty and an incompletion. I have yet to hear the Head Coach or the Offensive Co. explain this, but I heard Shanahan said he liked their matchups. What? Who cares about your matchups. Run the ball, win the game. It's called strategy. I think Shanahan became overly arrogant about his offense. Yep, best the in the league. But, he played the last quarter like we needed to be passing a lot. We didn't. I haven't seen arrogance that bad since the Clinton campaign decided to hardly run in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. And it lead to a crushing defeat as did this one. Coaches always tell players to think and play smart. You hate it when a defensive player makes a late hit to keep a drive going when the defense has made a stop. So, here we have a coach not being smart. And yep, the Pats get their miracle play and win the game. I cut the game off just as soon as the Pats won. Even though I like them, I couldn't stand to watch the celebration. The announcers were going to make this all about Brady and Belicheck, when in reality, this was all about the Falcons blowing the biggest lead in SB history. Our state of Georgia is upset and in mourning this week. We had the Super Bowl trophy in our hands and it was snatched away in the most mind numbing way ever. Good grief.
  3. That was Dorothy's mother's name in Leverage.
  4. I like the look of the show. I like Dorothy. Most of the rest of the characters are uneven. The plot is average. But, the biggest problem I see with this show is that there is almost no humor. Oz is a dark world filled with magic and mostly misery. It doesn't seem any different to me that some backwards country in the Middle East. I'm hanging with it for now because I want to see where it goes, but it's not the most compelling show. Follow the yellow brick road indeed....more like follow the humorless characters.
  5. Wizard of Oz ripoffs, maybe. The Wizard of Oz, never. He is really great in Daredevil, which is a fantastic show. I barely recognized him in this and he looked bored.
  6. Definitely one of the strangest shows I ever watched. Basically the show was... ...a girl dreams of the baby she doesn't have and then discovers she did have and could find and save him in her dreams. A lot of disjointed action ensues. A lot of the character's motivations were never really explained. I'm not even sure after the last episode who were the bad guys and good guys. I feel like I just dreamed it.
  7. I think all the actors are doing a great job. Laugh all the time. Can't believe some of you don't think this is funny.
  8. I couldn't believe how much I liked it. I thought it was hysterical. Something new. Trailer park trash against the snooty rich. I like how the show doesn't pull any punches on either characterization. My favorite new show.
  9. Have to totally agree. The leftwing elite liberal media of ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC have done a great disservice to our country with their propaganda of the Democrat Party. Doubt they are going to change though.
  10. I liked the season more than most, but the overdone violence in ep one was a real turnoff and I think that is biggest reason for the ratings drop off. My other big complaint is that the gang should have been prepared with all their guns when Negan and the Saviors first came to Alexandria and had it out then. They had the advantage with the walls and could have taken out a lot of them and maybe would have won. Better that than being slaves to them. Of course, this was done for a plot contrivance and is sloppy writing. The group we know would never have gave up that quick. Carl not shooting Negan was silly too. Why hold back? More plot twisting. Rosita and the one bullet? More dumbness. And now we have the gang where they should have been many episodes ago. Back to taking care of business.
  11. It happened at least once during the ep, but check it out after the credits. They did the same thing with Morgan one season.
  12. Yep, plays Bruce Wayne's father. And guess who played his mother? Maggie, or Lauren Cohen.
  13. Seems a little late. If he was going to use guns, he had plenty and let Neegan take all of them.
  14. How would you know why a group supports someone? And is the support of BLM racist? You must have forgot the chanting BLM group..."burn them like bacon" about white cops. Dems supported them. Trump doesn't support any racist groups.
  15. He ran on the Electoral college, not the popular vote. If he had, you don't know that he wouldn't have won the popular vote. In other news, Hillary hasn't addressed losing the most states and the most counties. For the millionth time, if they had run on the popular vote, they would have run a different campaign. You don't have rules and then when you lose, decide you don't like those rules. In the 1960 World Series the Yankees outscored the Pirates by double, but lost 4 games to 3.
  16. Well, first it was paper ballots are a problem, then it was chads, now it's computers. It seems to only be a problem when Dems lose. And do you think any illegals voted? And how many? Your characterization is a broad brush. If you wants abortions legal, then you are for it. And some do have them for convenience. Never said anything about the percentage of PP services offered.
  17. The people that have babies are responsible for them. I take responsibility for the one's I have. I think it's called personal responsibility.
  18. Well, we have colleges having therapy dogs, coloring, screaming sessions and playdoh for those unable to accept the outcome of the election. Sounds like crybabies to me. And the protests were staged and not organic. As was your opinion to be for abortion.
  19. Didn't the liberal news media and liberals laugh at the thought that illegal voting went on and challenging the outcome was ludicrous? Now that they lost, liberals want to protest and challenge the results.
  20. I think the unborn are worth saving. Not sure PP shares that opinion. Nope, that's all opinions.
  21. I've only seen plenty of angry libs, antagonistic libs, hateful libs and violent liberal protests. Mostly just crybabies because they lost the election. So people are so pathetic they can't go to the doctor. Really? Insurance companies can cover whatever they want. What gov't insurance are you talking about?
  22. Trump won the election by standing up to libs, the elite media and political correctness. The racism charge would have been leveled any of our candidates and is a liberal playbook maneuver always used. And the incidents of so-called bullying by conservatives are isolated and mostly phony. While pre-arranged liberal protests are violent and viciously divisive and vulgar. And what are they protesting and what do they hope to achieve? A legal election that they lost. Nothing will come of it, so they have no point other than being crybabies. And the so-called hatemongering pales in comparison to the hateful comments I have seen against Trump and his supporters.
  23. Belief is not necessary. I knew who I am. You don't. And one can find all kinds of extremist groups who support the Dems. BLM matter did. Does that make all Dems racist? And a group may support someone for any reason which may be unrelated to your point.
  24. That her and cohorts knew those emails were a problem and were looking for ways to get rid of them. That's the point. NH, Maine, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah were all in the conversation. In a popular vote, they would never be mentioned. Why deny them their time in the limelight and give all power to the big states? I think anyone can go to any drugstore or Walmart and get all the birth control they want. Does the gov't really need to provide this and why?
  25. They all started the next day in only 5 or 6 big cities. Obviously planned and organized. Common sense.
