Lived through it… Was a big deal in Erie in, what, 2003? I'll be watching this show soon as well.

I'd be really interested in what you have to say about this Erik - what the show got wrong and right.

Got the 2nd series of Westworld on my skyplus but it's going to have to wait till i've finished watching Ghost Adventures. Love that show.

The Expanse is such a great show, it kills me it got cancelled. Hopefully someone picks it up and provides it a decent budget. If not, at least we know the book series will be finished.

  Has anyone checked out The Staircase on Netflix yet?   My wife and I have been watching two episodes a shot for the last couple days.  

   I can’t decide whether or not this guy is guilty.

It's a fantastic series. I bought the DVD when it was released. He is clearly guilty.

SPOILER ALERT

The wounds Kathleen suffered were so violent - could you really have 35 lacerations like that from falling down the stairs? And his manner during his phone call was totally the opposite that you'd expect from someone with his personality and background.

The blow-poke was a red herring from the start, and I never saw that as the murder weapon. The fact that the police hid their knowledge of it is proof of their dishonesty and desire to frame someone who is not necessarily innocent, not something which excuses him. 

What about the German episode? Coincidences do happen, but really? Like that? TWO women dying after falling down stairs with blood everywhere? Come on!

I think the daughters were just pathologically dutiful and brainwashed to a point because the thought and fear of losing their adoptive father AND  stepmother as well as their mother outweighed everything else in their lives and I saw them as excessively needy and I think he played on their vulnerability and took advantage of them emotionally.

I think David Rudolph is extremely bright and competent, but he had an interest in winning the case that extended beyond proving Peterson's innocence. I think he was seduced by the production of the documentary and had to see the narrative out. I think he became very aware of how good he looked and sounded.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Netflix releases so many standup specials, it's impossible to keep up but Nanette, was different than most and I didn't expect to be affected so deeply.

Yeah yeah, Tom Cruise, Mission Impossible Fallout.

But the original TV series was so good. Original theme the best. Good writing, teamwork, great cast.

I'm starting to like Westworld less and less. I'll watch season 3 when it comes out, but it's kind of lame. I compared season 2 to a bad M. Night Shyamalan movie, like they wrote contrived plots and bad character decisions just to work a twist at the end. It was kind of cool in season 1, but they really should have gone a different direction to drive the plot in season 2.

My wife and I enjoyed The Good Place. Can't wait for season 3. Just finished the 2nd season of GLOW, too. Great show.

Yeah, same here with WW. There were a couple of great individual episodes, but on the whole, disappointing, especially when sci-fi and westerns are right up my alley. 

I watched the second season of The Good Place a second time, so funny. 

Only got in the first episode of Glow. Too much tv.

I've been putting off watching season two of WW.  I struggled so badly to get through season one it's put me off of this one.  For those of you whom have seen it, does Thandie Newton still spend a lot of time naked?

I finished Succession, couldn't help but binge it and now I'm paying for it, wouldn't say I really liked the show, it was ok, but had to see how it would end, it's just full of terrible awful people. Watching it is almost akin to rubbernecking.

I watched The Americans religiously since the first season.  I have strange interest in Cold War era history so that only added to the fact that it was a wonderfully done show.  I'll feel empty inside once March rolls around and there isn't another season premiering...but I can rest easy knowing they finished the story before the show went to shit.

I didn't binge it - I watched it each week. I liked it, but didn't love it at all.

Ditto. I have the most recent season saved for watching here soon.

I recorded it because I honestly forgot what it was about, but saw it was Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman.

I'm glad I did.

Making It is hilarious, fun, happy, and uplifting. There's not a single bit of negativity, and the show makes you happier. It makes you feel good. It makes you feel like you want to go out and create something.

It's great. I'm glad I accidentally recorded it. If you can, record it now and watch the first two episodes.

    • Day 15 - 2024-10-15 Mirror work. Watched one of my D1 players play today (67, plus -1 on the two holes he played to finish up a second-round 72). Well, you know what to work on… 😄 
    • Day 166 (15 Oct 24) - Worked with the 6i into the net today.  Focused on the legs - slight knee bend, keeping pressure on lead foot, getting rotation thru contact.  
    • No. The Steelers aren't paying either of them very much. They're not gonna get rid of a SB winning QB in case Justin is injured or something.
    • It could be to exhibit for trade bait.   Some teams may be looking for another QB (Miami) and if Wilson plays well, the compensation could be large.
    • Ball strike is king. You hit with a glancing blow (hook or slice), your smash factor just decreases a ton. Having a face to path angle of like 20 degrees versus something like 3 degrees is huge.  Yea, getting in shape is a good idea all around. Power is moving something heavy really fast. So, increasing how much you can lift, then improving on how fast you can move it will improve your power. In general, I think the two biggest tests for distance is like a chest press and standing vertical high jump. Some people are gifted with fast hands, but having good lower body can amplify what you have. Using the ground the correct way really ramps up the rotation speed, and then that can get the clubhead moving faster. Still, the hands do get down from the top of the backswing really fast.  If you start gaining strength and power gains. Knowing how to use the ground properly is important. You can have all the leg strength, but if you are not activating it correctly it is a waste. That is where good mechanics come into play.
