The irony

what a waste of an episode last night

 

I didn't find it a waste entirely, but...I felt a little like we may have just watched the worst episode yet. Not everything worked (Serena gets cut and...just walks away?).

with the limited amount of episodes, this seemed like filler.

Yeah I prefer the METAL version of Queensryche, the first two albums and the EP.

 

The EP through Promised Land is all you need. They feel off a cliff worse than any great band ever did after that.

Agree with this. There are one or two songs off subsequent albums that I agree with.

The character work remains superb. There's a bit of Game-of-Thrones style decline, though, as the show runners contrive situations that seem to flow inconsistently with per-established narratives.

 

I'm having trouble with the idea that Canada or anywhere else in the west would feel pressured by Gilead to do anything. How many fronts would Gilead open? They're already at war, and the earlier presumption has been that the United States is giving a good fight. Good enough that Canada has felt no qualms at accepting refugees. Now we're to accept that Canada and the West feel Gilead is too powerful to face?

 

And filming themselves in a light that offends the nations they are imploring for help is nonsensical. I don't believe Gilead would be flaunting the very thing Canada et al find offensive as they plea for the return of a single infant.

 

Canada feeling pressure would have been a great storyline if it hadn't already been established that they felt no pressure.

 

A lot of other dramatic conveniences exist as well- Nick's rank's a bit high, June escapes all the hardest punishments, Fred is teased with grand rewards right after being sunk to embarrassing depths, etc.

 

The writing isn't tight anymore.

 

But the character work is still BRILLIANT.

 

I still love the show, I just worry about it.

agreed. this season is starting to show some cracks but I am still loving it. I just hope it never gets GOT season 8 bad.

I've seen every Priest Tour since "Turbo" and I got to tell ya last night's Priest show at the intimate Warfield in San Francisco totally kicked my ass! It was the greatest set list I have ever seen by this iconic METAL BAND! Halford is a GOD! I don't know how the hell he can still do "Victim." I had chills down my spine and small tears in my eyes. Blew my fcukkkgking mind away. Richie has given this band the "FIREPOWER" that they need to continue for another ten more years around the sun. He is like KK meets Randy Rhoads. Richie blows Michael Schenker away.

 

 

Uriah Heep destroyed the place too. My first time seeing them and my GOD THEY KICKED MY METAL ASS TOO! They have this drummer who looks like Kenny Aronoff on HGH! The guy is one of the heaviest hitting drummers I have have ever seen in my life! I hope the Heep come back next year and do a headlining tour! I was lucky enough to get "Rainbow Demon" last night! A 1972 classic!!

 

JUDAS FUCKKING PRIEST RULES!!!!!!!!! IRON MAIDEN needs to take some notes from PRIEST!

Glad you had fun Earl! :cheers: :clap:

 

Thanks Pat! It truly was the greatest Priest show I have ever seen!! Blew the first leg of "Firepower" away!!!!! But of course even that was mind-blowing then!!!

 

I love that Priest would rather play two nights in an intimate venue rather than do an arena for one night. Could you imagine seeing Iron Maiden at The Warfield for three nights?

 

More note taking for Bruce.

Was it the setlist you liked better or was it a better performance?

 

Did you see them with Saxon last time? Who was better Saxon or Uriah Heep?

This was definitely a setlist for the fans! Starbreaker are you kidding me?! I also enjoyed Uriah Heep more than Saxon.

Does he use any guns in this flick?

now this is a car movie

Season 5 now available on Netflix :)

 

Just watched Striking Vipers this morning. I love this show.

I am so glad to hear this. I haven't watched yet but was nervous that the quality would fall off.

 

Haven't watched yet but the Miley Cyrus episode not getting great reviews.

 

Watched it this morning. The ONLY one I haven't liked. It's more like a dark Disney Channel show than a Black Mirror episode.

 

started it last night but wife fell asleep so have to finish tonight. I enjoyed the first 20 minutes so far.

I had low expectations so i ended up enjoying it. My wife really liked it, probably because it wasn't as dark as usual.

Dunno what you're all talking about. Endgame is my number one MCU film. It was epic, it was also deeper and more contemplative and emotional.

 

But meh...

 

too much i didn't like.

 

It's cool people do enjoy it.

 

but some of those choices.......no no no no no no no no!!!!!

 

b-

 

Dangerously close to a C+

Yup, I’d probably give it a B- too. Some scenes in there are top 3 in all of the MCU...but then again, some pieces (this version of Thor and his arc for example) are bottom 3.

 

i know i said i enjoyed Ragnorok (no apologies still do) but this time Thor's arc was WAY too much. i was getting mad in the theater. and Prof. Hulk was cool with ZERO Hulk smash payoff.

 

oy, lol

 

Mick

 

I absolutely love Ragnarok

 

i get WHY people are turned off but i can't help it it's fun as hell.

 

Mick

 

I thought the humor worked brilliantly. It could have gone horribly wrong.

 

That’s fine. It’s just that Thor shouldn’t be and never was a comedic character...though he’s sometimes around lighter, more comedic ones (The Warriors 3). But now it’s full-on comedic Thor and, liking the humor or not, it’s just not what that character is. That exchange with Starlord towards the end of Endgame was cringey.

Haven't seen Endgame so I can't comment. Just thought Ragnarok was a huge improvement over Thor 2, and I laughed my ass off. So no complaints.

Saw this.....not my choice. i have a friend who is a huge Godzilla freak. i'm not. But oh it was horrendous.

 

i don't know if it was down to me not being a fan or if it was that bad. but i'm banking on the latter.

It’s not you. My daughter thought it was stupid. When you can’t win over 12 year olds, you know you’ve got a dud on your hands.

that is disappointing. Trailers looked awesome

The movie was simply fantastic. If you are an old school Star Wars fan (not the crazy nit picky nutty freaking nerds) this is in your wheelhouse.

 

Great fun. And I can’t wait for another one. No doubt a sequel or two are coming.

:goodone:

#MakeSolo2Happen

Just watched it a 2nd time. It did not hold up for me. And the Han Solo actor is no Harrison Ford.

I was at that Santa Monica Civic show!
