I really liked tonights episode of Homeland.  Brody is screwed.

It is so improbable that he could have got in that position in the first place but, hey, it's TV. Nice twist.

The first episode of Black Mirror plays like a political thriller. The rest aren't as fast paced, 15 Million Credits is the slowest paced episode, yeah, probably too long, but the last 10 minutes was riveting, at least for me. The next episode is a good one - the what if everyone had super Google Glass implanted inside their bodies.

The next series (season), there's reconstructing your deceased loved one based on social media output, the second, is faster paced and hard hitting, a seething commentary on technological rubbernecking, the last, a this could probably happen now political scenario where a foul mouthed appeal to the lowest common denominator cgi cartoon becomes a candidate.

Yeah, the second episode was slow, but I still thought it was an interesting commentary and I think the slow pace was important to the story. I really liked the third one.

Yeah, the third one, The Entire History of You got a lot of buzz when it aired. If you didn't have such a device, would you have the pent up jealously he did? I think he didn't, he'd have lived in ignorant bliss.

Here's the showrunner's (Charlie Brooker) thoughts on the media's treatment of Susan Boyle, it's somewhat related to the second episode. NSFW - language.

Homeland season 3 was a train wreck.

I haven't watched this yet but I'm fully expecting them to rip it to shreds:

I thought it was pretty great (season 3 that is). There were some weird points, and some times that it seemed like the narrative was winding. But taken as a whole, I think it was a pretty good season. Come back after you watch the finale.

I thought it was a pretty good too.  Sure, its a bit far-fetched, but not as much as season 2, in my opinion.

That's the magic of Hollywood.

Season 4 is going to be a big change in the story line. I'm curious to see where they take it.

I watched the finale. The video I posted is a review show, not the actual episode. And for some reason they don't rip it apart. They point out a few things but overall seem "okay" with it.

IMO (and my wife's), the whole season sucked. This does more to talk about it.

I misread your first post about it. I thought you were saying you hadn't seen the finale.

I agree that the season had some weird points, but overall, I think they ended the season pretty well. It'll be really interesting to see where they take season 4 with Carrie (presumably) off in Istanbul, Saul out of the CIA, and Brody out of the picture. It seems like the whole Iran angle got played out, so I'm not sure where they go from here. I just hope it has nothing to do with Brody. That chapter is closed, and I think dwelling on it will get really boring really fast.

It's a great show. I'm really excited for season 3. The creator and head writer, Steven Moffat, is also the head writer for another of my favorites: Dr. Who.

One of the reviewers, his brother is a writer, not for Homeland, but I think that's why he, at least, is easy on Homeland. What the Flick also reviews The Walking Dead, an abysmal wreck of a show despite the ratings, sorry TWD fans, but that's my humble opinion after gutting out 3 seasons so maybe that's why they're easy on Homeland if they think TWD is still worth reviewing, critically, not for audience numbers.

It's a great show. I'm really excited for season 3. The creator and head writer, Steven Moffat, is also the head writer for another of my favorites: Dr. Who.

The new Doctor will be Peter Capaldi from The Thick of It. Looking forward to the new season but won't be till August.

Yeah. It'll be sad to see Matt Smith go. He is definitely one of my favorite Doctors (right there with 10 and 4 as my favorites). Capaldi will definitely be a different take on the doctor.

    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date. 
    • Day 562, May 17, 2024 Spent a LOT of time on GEARS stuff today, so while waiting for imports, exports, and all manner of things, I did some rehearsals in the mirror and camera in my basement.
