So… the second season of Reacher came out. And it’s awful. I’m only a couple of exciting episodes in and I gave up on it. The problem is when I see the pozzed list of dramatis personae come out and say their lines… these days I want to cheer for the villains! In this season Reacher’s ally is a stronk woman in the FBI. She’s about 95 lbs. soaking wet, she’s bitchy and obnoxious and treats her team (a noodle armed soy boy and an old fat guy) like dirt. And of course they take it and think she’s wonderful. And worst of all, given the crap the FBI has been doing in real life … I can no longer buy any plot line that has them starring as heroes. I just laugh at the old plot lines - featuring the brave plucky investigative reporters speaking truth to power… the clean cop battling his dirty corrupt peers… the honest politician trying to use his power and authority fairly and wisely… if people like that pop up in real life - they get torn to shreds. Been that way since Jesus Christ I guess.
Whatever. TV is a time suck nowadays … so me n’ the Niglet went outside to play. It’s looking like a typical March setting up here…in like a lamb, out like a lion. Walking is treacherous… you get wet, melting ice and you have to do the “pee pee” walk in some places because it’s so slippery. It’s slow going. It’s slush slurpee time to… yesterday some fuggin old grey haired twat drove by and me and the dawg just got drowned in icy, dirty slush. It wasn’t deliberate… the old woman driving had both hands on the wheel and was trying to peer over the dash…whadda ya gonna do?
🤣
I’m champing at the bit to get some seeds started but the wife won’t let me. End of March may even be too soon, I’m told. Ughhh I want to drag my trailer out too… I’m gonna start back up with the RC flying and building to pass the time. I hope you all stay on your feet, or get soaked by senior slush slingers.
Cheers

G, teevee has been an brain cell destroyer for several decades and should be avoided like an unnecessary enema! Tune into Randall Carlson or John Moore for your entertainment fix. Life is too short to waste on the dreck that is cable.

I've read a few of the actual books - not bad but definitely contains errors in gun trivia as well as numerous plot holes. Lee Child is a Brit who apparently moved over here. I've heard rumors he's a lib which makes sense. The book series were basically written as consumer pulp style literature and the translation to the small screen certainly shows that. I thought the first season was only ok, don't even remember if I started the second season. I think they're on season 3 now.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, there's lots of other better ways to waste time.
'Seems like EVERY "production," whether silver screen or boob tube, is woke crap, Glen, and predictable as hell; a "girl boss," lesbian, better yet, a BLACK lesbian, dominatrix, who treats the men around her like crap and can fight her way through a dozen MMA fighters in the space between commercials. The men are always portrayed as low-IQ, beta male luddites. If it doesn't have a girl-boss theme, it's a blackfaced or brownfaced appropriation of a previous classic. "Captain America" and "Snow White" come to mind.
ReplyDeleteDue to the "needs" of my wife, we still have Netfags. Almost EVERY selection is either girl-boss, blackface, and/or veers straight off into the chasm of queer within three episodes. We were watching a show a while back, and out of nowhere, one of the major characters is nailing another guy against a wall! 'Had nothing to do with the storyline, but, Netfags... I struggled through the first twenty minutes of "Mad Max: Furiosa" a few day back. OK, so we already know it's girl-boss from the title. Fair enough. Let's see where it goes. It went NOWHERE. It started off at girl-boss, daughter of girl-boss, and went RAPIDLY downhill from there. Aside from its feminist bent, it was as boring as a Martha Stewart marathon!
My wife likes to watch TV. I think TV will go down as one of the biggest time-wasting, morally corrupting inventions ever devised by ...MAN!
