Saw it yesterday, yeah, I'm into the PotC series.

Fun to see Sir Paul cameo, some funny dialog also.

Make sure you stay for the epilogue scene after all the credits - and the credits are long!

Thanks for dropping in Jim, please stop by any time ... ThumbUp

Fear The Walking Dead returns!



New season starts this Sunday! :clapping: :Excited:

 

[frostbite51]

For those setting their DVR, looks like the first show is 2 hours 10 minutes long.

Time to stock up on the booze for the "They did WHAT stupid thing?" drinking game. :xzqxz:

I'm rooting for the zombies...

 

[Blueline]

Gettin' ready....

Looking forward to it. Had my fill of "into the Badlands".

 

[Blueline]

Two surprises on Fear the Walking Dead. Travis Clark. Didn't see that coming. And, new character Troy. Glad to see Dayton Callie. Enjoyed his portrayal at Sheriff Wayne on the Sons of Anarchy.

Hey Joe, had to work so I dvr'd it... So thanks a lot buddy, I'm just going to pretend I didn't see this :laugh:

 

[Blueline]

Funny how the work thing always gets in the way of having a good time :zombie: :fighting0036:

 

[Gone2Three]

Well it's been a busy day trying to get caught up on things around the house and catch up on some of our shows. First off was Gotham...we had a couple of episodes and the season finale to watch, and they didn't disappoint.

Next Fear The Walking Dead....WOW this was a really great start for season 3. Troy and his buddies are a bunch of sickos. Need to keep an eye on that one, no pun intended :laugh: And Travis, yep after all he went through...didn't see that coming. What the hell??? And where exactly is Strand off to?... I'm ready for some more !

The Ranch

Watched the new season of The Ranch. Was not impressed. Thought maybe it was my jaded outlook of life, but my boy agreed. They took a funny comedy and turned it into a dull soap opera. Don't want to give anything away but will say that the final scene from last season is the main subject for this season. Not much there to be funny about, and the jokes were tired retreads or fell flat. Hope they turn it around next year...

'Sup Ron, hadn't heard of this until now...I live a sheltered life. Once I Google'd it found out why, don't have Netflix. Does have a great cast though so might have to sneak off to my buddy's house to check it out

Watching Fear the Walking Dead finding out what happened to Daniel... Moving slow so jumping on the forum

 

[Gone2Three]

Now there's the Daniel we all know and love...:gun2: Next weeks episode looks good.

SciFy fantasy (escapism) movies that have relatively happy endings. What a concept!

Fear The Walking Dead season 3 finale

It's been too long since I've posted here...what better way to jump start it with last nights episode of FTWD

I had to work but Michele dvr'd it so it was waiting for us to watch. I was tired but couldn't wait.

So we finally get to see what happened with Ofelia, taken in by Walker and his tribe. Ofelia gave a rather insufficient “sorry” for deserting everyone back at the hotel to Alicia.

Between what was going on at the ranch we have an appearance by Strand. The good news: He just happened to find the Abigail with a bunch of boose left on board. The bad: The vessel was dead in the water with walkers on board. His save.. the radio, on which he got to play Name That Playwright with a cosmonaut who’d been scheduled for reentry three days before the end of the world. Ultimately, Victor wound up wasting a whole lotta liquor setting the yacht on fire and setting off with a lot of firepower.

Overall I quite enjoyed the episode. There were some really good moments that played out with the characters that made for a great show. It didn't disappoint with me. Hopefully we'll see if Ofelia and her father are reunited next season.

Boycott them!!

On Hawaii 5-0, the producers decided the hottest eye candy on the show wasn't worth a raise, so Grace Park will not be back next year. What were they thinking? Do they really believe people watch to see Steve and DanAhole whine at each other like a pair of old gay farts who ran out of lube? I don't care who his daddy is, I would have killed off Scott Caan in the first season. I guess I'll watch the first show next season to see what bimbo they find to replace Park, but they have their work cut out for them:

Didn't like what they did to Grace and her counterpart Daniel Kim. I have to agree with you on the part where it's not the draw for me with Steve and Dan. So much for equality on the show :Shrug: although CBS said they were offered fairly substantial amounts of money to stay they chose to depart the show.

I'm sure it won't be long before they are picked up on another series.

Amelia Earhart, The Lost Evidence. HIstory Channel

Watched this last night.

Was pretty interesting.

Whether their presentation is the truth of what happened to her or not, it seemed reasonable enough to be the truth.

I would have pushed the Japanese records for info from their side...maybe not outright asked them... as I'm sure they would deny all...but sent someone in, incognito, to go through their war records..on the pretense of looking for other info.

Dang, must have missed this one Carla, I'll see if they have it on demand. I did read up on it when the news was released about the archived picture. Very interesting indeed!

 

[Blueline]

Friday's, for the Fall lineup, just aren't going to be the same. Last Man Standing-cancelled. Hawaii 5-0 with no Hawaiians. Blue Bloods will be the only constant.

Salvation

I'm rooting for the rock!

CBS series starting tonight about an asteroid coming to kill us all. Critics haven't been kind:

...none of the characters in “Salvation” give the audience much of a reason to cheer for humanity’s preservation. Everyone is grim, dour or in some cases, unreasonably calm about facing the end of the world.

seeing a lethal flash of light up the sky might actually lead many of us to breathe a sigh of relief.

Most of the time Salvation, ..., is predictable.

The dialogue is clunky, and it’s often hard to imagine the broadly sketched characters making the choices they do.

So Ron...how was it? Do tell, is there hope for us all :xszpv:

 

[Blueline]

It's no wonder Grace Parks has left Hawaii 5-0. Her husband (in the series) is now a principal character in Salvation.

Interesting concept and drama abounds. Will watch since Summer TV is thin this year.

That's odd...I must have missed Daniel Kim in the cast line-up. :Shrug: I'll have to go back and check it out. Michele didn't get to record it so we'll have to try and catch it next time.

Yep! Slim pickings until the fall line-up

 

[Blueline]

Daniel Kim's relationship to "Kono" (Grace Parks) is Cousin. Ian Anthony Dale played Kono's husband and is now a Government official in Salvation.

The critics were critical with the series launch, but there's a lot of summer left!!

Thanks for clearing that up ThumbUp makes sense now

Ian is lying to his mistress, and his mistress found out - he may not last long...:laugh:
