Who the hell comes up with this ****? I'm really getting pissed about the stereotype. My god...I just can't.
Teddy Roosevelt came up with it.
It actually goes back before that.
My point is, I've worked ranches, farms, etc and never have I seen somebody wear something as stupid as that. I hate the stereotype.

Weird episode. Just really weird. This half of the season has kind of been all over the place aimlessly running about. Maybe the next spinoff will have a coherent storyline.
I'm a Texan. I have the accent. But I hate TV shows portraying us as a bunch of horse back riding, six shooter toting, hillbillies. That's simply not the case. My god, it's like everything reverted back to the 1800s, clothing, guns, and everything else.

I'm not sure if I'll sign up for the early bird stuff. I'm focused on a new house right now.
That said, I have every intention of signing up. There is enough Disney content between Star Wars, Marvel, and the Disney princesses to keep my family occupied. I think it will be a well spend few bucks for the service.

I'm still trying to figure out where in Texas they are. I mean, I've lived here all my life and travelled all over.
I'm guessing they are on the coast...but the terrain looks like the hill country, a least a couple hundred miles from the coast. With that, hurricanes are very weak once they reach that far inland. I know they were in Austin or San Antonio at some point last season, so I used a little deductive reasoning.
I guess from the nuclear reactor, they could be near Bay City, but again, the terrain isn't Texas coastal plains, but rather hill country.
After checking their location shooting, they are in the hill country, but there are no nuclear plants nearby. Texas has two of them, one near the Dallas area, and the other outside of Houston. So I'm probably digging a little too much here, but oh well.
I can't figure this season out. I usually watch a few weeks after the episode airs and do so on the app as it just hasn't drawn me in. It's not bad, but nothing to write home about and certainly not must watch TV...not that there is really anything I have to watch besides baseball.

My wife and I watched the first episode on Saturday, and two more last night.
All I can say is again it's excellent and this season has taken off much faster than season 2. Too bad we are going on vacation this week and wont' be able to watch again until next Friday.

« on: June 28, 2019, 10:56 PM »Anyone see Toy Story 4 yet? Caught a screening last night, and sad to say I wasn't really a fan. I appear to be in a small, small minority on this one too. Curious to hear what others thought.
I can certainly see why you were not a fan and don't begrudge you at all.
I went with my wife and daughter to see this today and I really enjoyed it. The surprise, non-surprise at the end was a cool gut punch and it will be interesting if they decide to make a 5th installment. Overall though, I thought it was a solid addition to the franchise. To me, another well done Disney animated film.

I finally got a chance to sit and watch this today.
I was not disappointed at all. The opening scene of the movie blew Bayformers out of the water. It was so refreshing seeing the characters and knowing who they were. I thought it was a great throwback to what we played with as kids. There were a few nods to Bayformers, and they were actually good. It was awesome in that I felt like I was actually watching a movie from the 80s. I can't stress enough how well done I thought this movie was. I think this is a great way to reboot the franchise under something fans will recognize.

Am I the only person that saw that, thought "hey, all the girls, somebody's going to get twisted at the SJW aspect," and then decided I wasn't offended because it's a movie and I was watching Thanos and his army get pounded?

My thoughts...great movie. I went to the 9AM showing today. If you are disappointed, then there is something wrong with you.

...I think that was Jadis on the radio at the end.
That's what I thought. And I guess that also leaves open the door for the return of Rick.
Possible spoiler below.
I saw a story that said Andrew Lincoln may direct an episode or two next season.

Pretty good episode I thought.
First, I hope to see Carol "baking cookies" again. I'm not a fan of passive Carol.
I'm wondering what is the point of the Whispers still. I mean, they go into a community, kidnap, and kill...and yet, nobody knew these people disappeared. Kind of weird, but I guess it doesn't matter because it'll drive the story.
I think Darryl is more apt to use violence than Rick. Hopefully we'll actually see real conflict this time and not a bunch of wait and see what happens. On that note, I wonder where Negan is in all of this? I wonder what he's up to and what role he will eventually play. Perhaps he's going to go the road of Michonne and have a true change of heart and that's the entire reason we saw that episode that focused on her thought process.

I don't have DVR since we've just about cut the cord, so I watch on Monday morning through the app. I watched this morning after I got up.
Slllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I know it's plot development, but goodness, almost the entire episode involved standing in front of Hilltop.
Oh yeah...and everyone got a case of the conscience. I know it'll develop, but I just wasn't drawn in, so I'm being grumpy.

There are so many lessons to learn from what happened to TRU that never needed to. Sales, competitive pricing, rotating inventory...so many things they need to think about.
