The Unknown Poster Posted April 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Waco on Netflix is really good, though it does try to paint Koresh pretty sympathetically. Great cast, Michael Shannon (always awesome) as an FBI negotiator and the underrated Taylor Kitsch as Koresh. Also stars Shea Whigham and my favourite, Julia Garner. I had just seen a documentary on Waco so was feeling pretty Waco'ed out but this is really good. They sort of make the point that the ATF really didnt need to bother with Waco at all, but dont spend any time at all on the weapons they had and they under-play the child abuse (or statutory rape if you want to call it there). Though you do get the sense that Koresh is nuts. Recommended! Wideleft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, along with Jim Jones were the poster boys for Messianic complexes and ought to give you a good insight into Donald Trump's insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Liver Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Billions is back for season 5, apparently they only got through 6 episodes when the pandemic halted production, so it will not be a full season but something is better than nuthin..

This season, the show has me like "Im not sure I still like...whoa, I love it!", like every episode. Its a weird one. I think its brilliant. Im not too sure it can be one of those shows you watch over and over again though. I have to go back and watch Season 1 again but Im not sure I'd watch 2, 3 again. I found 3 not as good as 1...maybe better than 2 though. It was such a departure. But the acting, casting, set design, visual effects are all tremendous. The ideas are interesting. They didnt seem to build as much of a mystery box in season 3. I do like that they dont seem obsessed with tricking fans...they write their show and they have their mysteries or revelations and they make sense, whereas a show like Lost just created swerves for the purpose of tricking viewers. Im really intrigued for Season 4 based on the post credit seasons of the season 3 finale. If Bernard was sitting there for 1000 years, it implies something really bad happened really quickly cause how could he have gone undisturbed? Was that an abandoned hotel? The manager never checked on him? lol And what of Stubbs?? I also like, amidst the shiny advanced SFX, they make time for emotional scenes. Bernard visiting Arnold's wife, for example. Delores' reveal of her real motives concerning humanity. Charlotte's reaction to her family etc. Great stuff. One thing I had forgotten that i saw pointed out on youtube was the man in black host may have been seen before. i guess it was Season 2 where we saw him back at the park being kept by his daughter and trying to decide if he was real or not. It appeared to be a flash to the future so that could be the host. Which leads to questions of, if you share all the memories and experiences but are in a manufactured body, are you real or not? 18 hours ago, iHeart said: uh you k now what, I'd better spoiler this link Hide contents https://tvline.com/2020/05/04/westworld-season-4-evan-rachel-wood-leaving-dolores-dies/ Well since its over now, not a spoiler right? If you read the article they actually say they hope Wood isn't gone. Remember, there are still two Delores pearls (two right?). Lawrence and Charlotte. Oh and the Yakuza dude...the hooker took his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it sounds like it will go beyond the original film/books premise: Quote The Right Stuff takes a "gritty, anti-nostalgic look at what would become America's first reality show as the obsessive original Mercury Seven astronauts and their families become instant celebrities in a competition that will either kill them or make them immortal. The one-hour drama will follow the protagonists from the Mojave Desert to the edges of space, with future seasons carrying through to humankind’s greatest achievement: the moon landing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that based on a show like Walking Dead, every house, every room in murica would be ransacked.

It wouldn’t surprise me if season 4 returns to its roots so to speak with multiple time lines. Perhaps Bernard can communicate with himself in the past.
