Damn. What the hell happened to this board?
Probably Disaster Movie. We only watched it because it was filmed in Shreveport. It was terrible. But those movies aren’t meant to be good. So I knew what to expect.

When I was a teenager, I was one of the few people who understood the greatness that was Highlander. I was very excited when Highlander 2 came out.

It was terrible. Aliens…really?
I feel like it’s a myth that teachers only teach the overindulgence and the stock market crash. I wasn’t taught that in the 90s and I don’t teach that to my students.
I’m 50. Probably 20 without stopping. 30 before dropping and calling it.

Exactly. You may as well have a wand waving wizard in the hull of a starship. That’s just as realistic as a warp drive or a hyperdrive.
My dad uprooted us from North Louisiana and moved us to Huntsville in the 80s. The impressive thing was…he didn’t need to. But he refused to be the type of person he would have to be to make things work in Monroe.


I didn’t know this for decades.

People complain about the quality hit TV has taken and I really think a lot of it is b/c nothing is allowed to breath and find itself anymore.
I thought the rebooted Frasier had just started to rediscover the magic but it got canned.

I enjoyed watching the Scrubs reboot. What happened to his son and Elizabeth Banks?
I enjoyed Rebels, and I liked the continuation of Ezra and Thrawn. However, this show went off the rails a little with the imperial reeducation camps and the fact that it was called Ashoka but Sabine seemed to be the star of the show. I’ll still watch.
I would agree with your synopsis. Overall it was a good binge worthy series.
That kind of makes sense, but it also seems like it would advance technology out of necessity, just like warfare. Of which there seems to be a lot also.
It’s fantasy. Same suspension of disbelief for Lord of the Rings.


It’s funny that for all of the influence that the high Middle Ages has on our cultural zeitgeist, it only lasted a few hundred years as it is portrayed in pop culture and in fantasy.

This is a pretty good summary

Agree on both parts. I wish I could say the same for Ellis. He doesn’t seem to be very involved in the story, except to have conversations about what’s happening.

I like the idea someone mentioned a few pages back that fat Clara didn't give all of the talismans

There has to be a company wide memo that everyone accepts as fact that essentially expresses, if the place promises you are going home, you aren’t. It lies.

My biggest gripe of the season I think.


This gets back to my somewhat negative review a few weeks ago comparing it to Lost. That show had so many loose strings that it couldn’t tie them all up. I feel like this golem thing as well as the totems/killer dolls and the lake settlement are going to get pushed aside.

I do think it would have made for better writing if at least one person in the town was suspicious of Sophia and without the knowledge of the Man in the Yellow Suit.

The Boy in White pisses me off. He doesn’t seem very helpful lately.

Speaking about lessons from his mother.
I kind of listened to bands like AC/DC and KISS when I was a teenager, but I was well into my twenties before I really got into 70s classic rock. As a teenager, I was into hair bands, then made the switch to grunge like most of us did.

I was at that show and I don’t know what you are talking about.

The Garth Brooks hate on this site is unreal. He’s the most prolific and successful country singer from the 80s and 90s, his shows are incredible, it’s pretty clear he legitimately loves his fans. He actually wrote a lot of his hits.

The rehashed idea that Garth ruined country music is laughable. He obviously tapped into something that already existed, much like Nirvana or Rush Limbaugh.


OMG, he’s a lib!!!

We just watched this with our great niece. Wow. How do they keep coming up with original stories that are also winners? It really does prove that a well told story trumps everything.

And what an emotional gut punch with Jessie. I didn’t see that coming at all.

Good job Pixar.
