Out freaking standing! Hope they represent them as they actually are on the cartoon accurately. that would be great.

Wait, isn’t Becket Mariner one of the people from the cartoon ‘Lower Decks’?

I so missed this show…

Nothing wishful, and no misdirection, he totally destroyed everything, gave most of his empire away to his most loyal friends, knowing he was dying, even the way he gathered information and the analog methods he used were exposed to the FBI. there was nothing left for an enemy to get hold of after his death. All gone…he made very sure of it.

🤣

That’s why a lot of times I watch it anyway. Noticed a lot of times people have no clue what they are watching, or even why anymore, and for the most part, they have lost sight of how a good story is even told. I have to actually cringe for real sometimes when I see people post at times about ‘filler episodes’, and then other people do the same thing just to be ‘part of the freaking pack’, like they have some need to fit in or something.

It’s like often if there is not enough flash-bang, then it just can’t seem to hold peoples interest in the show, so of course it has to be a ‘filler episode’. Sometimes there is backstory that fills holes, or other parts of the story that needs telling that the rest won’t make sense that needs telling before you can get to the rest of the action for it to make any sense. Can’t just have non stop action all of the time in every episode of every show of something. Well, maybe on some things, if they are designed to be that way, but not everything is, some things are written to have a story to them.

Thing is, people are so spoiled with all the action and so forth that they just lost touch with the ability in most cases to have the patience with having an actual story told to them. Can’t stand to have an episode that will tell them part of the actual story. I actually LIKE those episodes just as much as the ones that are full of action, as I like the story lines as well, too bad that people don’t get that, but that’s a bit of a different animal.

I will grant, however, that rant being ranted, that on occasion, there does seem to be every once in a bit that random episode that is totally meaningless, just shouldn’t be there, writers minds took a walk, and probably never should have come back kind of episode, and never in a million should have been aired. They happen, and we all get bored to tears, and they are well and truly filler to the core. I think those are kind of rare, thankfully….But that’s just me, just another armchair critic that’s taken way too many shots to the head over the years, and no doubt a few too many of Tequila as well…😖

Just watched the trailer, and put it on my ‘to watch’ list, but scoped out the 2 people that posted on it and they both said it sucked, but have seen that a lot and wound up liking movies that others said sucked, so there’s that. Trailer looked pretty good. Gonna give it a shot when I get a chance, you ain’t led me wrong yet..💪

Yeah, I do too. Would like to see more of him, he’s an interesting guy. Would like to see more of how he got to be the way he is, and how he learned to operate the way he does. Would really hate to be on his bad side…

Thanks for the info, at least we don’t have to wait that long!

I’ve never read them either, but what’s going on from what I understand is this…The guy that is playing the Geralt now, Henry Cavill, is a big fan of the books and such, to a very great extent. That being said, he wanted to stay with the series as written, but the people writing and directing and producing the show wanted to stray from the original content and go in a different direction then what the books and such went.

Both he and the fans are rebelling against that, and in a big way. Cavell knew being on the inside how far they were going to stray from the original content of the books, and tried for a good bit to get them to stay with the original content, which is what made the show so popular with a lot of the fan base, and the people in charge refused to listen to him, and he liked the original so much that he refused to renew his contract with them, a he felt that they were going to destroy the show anyway with the content change.

That being said, I really liked the first 2 seasons, and also this 3rd one, and have never read any of the books. And not having read them, but knowing that they are based on the original content, I’m starting to think that if Cavell thinks this strongly about it, then might be they should leave well enough alone and stay with this as it was originally written, as it’s so good already. A lot of times Producers and Directors take that ‘artistic license’ they seem to think they have way too far and ruin something that was already perfectly good to start with. This might be one of those things.

I will give the 4th season a shot, when it comes out, just on general principals, but I am not expecting it to be as good as the first 3 seasons. Just my opinion based on what has been said in several articles about this, and past experience watching shows made from book’s by really good authors that people got hold of and they changed way too much and just destroyed it, when they should have left well enough alone…

My 2 cents, anyway, for what it’s worth…

Agreed, so sad to see that this had to end, they were doing such a great job…

Wasn’t for me. I have watched a few movies where they did this, and you have to pay close attention to what they are doing and watch the plot closely. I was sitting in front of the laptop by myself and having one of my rare lucid moments and was just in the right mood to to pay attention to it this time.

If you do that with a movie like this it can be really clear, and make sense. If I’m not mistaken, they have done some of this with a couple of the Mission Impossible movies as well, backtracked and shown how some things worked out.

😂💪

Believe it or not, a lot of those I have already seen, but there was one that I have not, the racing one, can’t remember the name just off the top of my head but found it on YouTube, we didn’t have it here, but saved it for ‘watch later’ there, and will check it out, was a full movie, trailer looked pretty good. Thanks for that. Had no idea he did Elysium, really surprised me!

Agreed, I noticed he has a lot of links on YouTube to a lot of stuff and has a lot of fans, he could do a lot of stuff if he really wanted to, and it’s really too bad he don’t do something with it, aside from the shorts, he could really turn holly weird on it’s head, get a great following and make a ton of money to boot at the same time….

First one was really cool, just goes to show what people can do with just a little bit when they really set their minds to it. Second one was cool, but was also kinda messed up, won’t say why, as it would have to be a spoiler, don’t want to mess it up for anyone that has not seen it yet, but was worth watching. Would really have rather watched the older Southerland have played God though, and let him flesh it out some. That would have been interesting…

Gonna go check them out right now, kinda bored actually, thanks.

Good one Alien, not much into shorts, but these peeps should take this and get the funding to turn this into a full movie…excellent stuff here!

I got hit with the Cuban missile crisis. Same month as well, go figure…

Yup! Think that’s what really kick started his acting career. Then he got the gig in the ‘gate, and did really well in that. Looked him up just now, and he did some guest roles in one of the Doctor Who series as a bad guy, as well as some episodes of Arrow as a bad guy, then was in two movies, Dead Still and Robo Rex, and was in another movie called Outlaws and Angels, which was a western. Was born in ‘62, same age as me…
