Re: TV: There She Is, The Old Radiation King
it sounds like most of these have no commercials (i.e., premium subscription service), so that the pressure to shorten the opening is mitigated. As it stands these days, if I watch more than four or five hours of non-sports TV in a week, it is a rare luxury. It makes no sense these days to pay much to watch TV.
I did allude to The Sopranos. That is actually extremely well done from a cinematographic sense, as Tony drives past just about every important recurring venue in the whole series.
Frankly, if Comcast weren't such !#*@&!@#!!, I'd have no regular TV at all....but if you try to go internet-only with them, they'll still charge you the same amount that you pay for internet plus basic cable. No savings.

The classic MacGyver, music and title card sequence, is a Top 20 all-time opener. Do not besmirch it.

No. The Grave is a western town and a braggart who bets he will go up to a cemetery at midnight and plunge a knife into a grave. It is very spare, very taut. Beautifully shot. It really gives you chills.

Re: TV: There She Is, The Old Radiation King
Ok, so I finished S3 of Mr. Robot. Spoilers below:
Episode 8 (the Magic Muslim) was a disaster like Stranger Things. Maybe this is a trend?
It's as if they have fired their best writers and are gradually replacing them with writers from dumb people shows like 24 or The Black List. Dialog is getting more cliche and character interactions are less interesting. But maybe the obscurity of the show hid the bad writing early on.
Whiterose is a tedious character and if everything does in fact center on her and her whims that will be disappointing. It may be deliberate irony to take all these sweeping philosophical themes and shadows and then resolve them into the most pedestrian and boring of explanations: the personal vindictiveness of a single all too human character. But I wanted more.
The f-ck is with Poochie there at the Epilogue?
The show has been descending albeit very slowly: S1 A+, S2 A-, S3 B+. But a further slip and it's going to have spent most of its early capital. This is not a show that will ever have a mass audience so stop trying to bend it there.
Angela's breakdown is ridiculous and another disappointment.
F-ckable FBI Agent (DiPierro) had potential which they have so far left to simmer. Irving is terrific. Price needed to be killed, so that's good.
It's still a Must Watch show, but it's trending down. I hope they recover their originality and attitude next season.

Finally watched the concluding episode of Longmire.
The structure, pacing, and plot development was really weird: it looked like, about 2/3 of the way through the episode, that they received word that the series would not be renewed, and so they tacked on an improvised ending to wrap up all the main story lines. Very disjointed.
Here's what I liked:
- Nighthorse was not guilty of any of the crimes Walt had accused him of during the series
- Henry was in charge of the casino
- Ferg looks like he might get the girl after all
- Walt retired with a clean name
- Walt got a cell phone!
Here's what I did NOT like:
- Walt and Vickie get together? no way that fits.
- Cady is going to run for sheriff?? No way that fits either.
What I thought would have been better:
- Walt tells Vickie: "you're close to Cady's age; I've always thought of you more as a daughter than a lover"
- Vickie runs for sheriff
- Cady moves out of Durant

NatGeo's Genius. If you like period dramas, then the first season about Einstein's life and times is for you. Some dramatic license was taken, of course, but very well written and binge-worthy.
It's been renewed for a second season in 2018, and the subject will be Pablo Picasso.

A great mind, but a serial womanizer and horrible father, if the 10-part series is to be believed.

I meant Picasso.
Einstein was actually a good man, you just didn't want to be married to him. I only saw the first 2 episodes of Genius but they were brilliant.

Re: TV: There She Is, The Old Radiation King
You should watch the other 8. By the end, when his doctors won't let him smoke or fck anymore, he's pretty reflective on his past.
But again, mostly conjecture, and/or (I suspect) based on the interviews of his younger son. He's a better man than his personal life though, with his pacifist and anti-nationalist views. Flag88 would've hated him, and Trump would've deported him.
I am looking forward to the Picasso season as well.

Re-watching Justified....
They REALLY moved Ava's character along. One minute she's kind of a sleep-around whore, so to speak, and within a few episodes she becomes a matriarch/power player. She just kind of switched. No real development. She started off this, and *poof* she's now that. A nitpick, but glaring switch on the re-watch.
