Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
The Song of Ice and Fire? Where is that in all this
Really? The story was 8 years of building up this huge story arc with a Prince that was Promised and we got Bran wanting the throne all along? What in the heck did I just watch? 1 1/2 years of waiting for the final season to see Jon wasted as an actor and no longer necessary as being the rightful heir to the throne? I can accept that he went back to the North. I predicted it when Tormund suggested it. BUT, whereas I was going to buy the special Bluray edition, I'm selling off every bit of what I had. Jessus, what a disappointment.
Jack Ryan (2018)
Not a total disaster and NOT too heavily political correct
I binge watched this this afternoon and evening and while not a part of what Clancy wrote perhaps, still a pretty good action-filled 8 episodes. I see the jack-booted supporters of the current administration have infiltrated and are representative of many "reviews" here. Let's just say that from the beginning, the story line gets more intense every episode and ISN'T so PC to make all Muslims peace loving people, regardless of what many say here as a criticism of the show. The storyline with the church was especially compelling and well done.
The Big Bang Theory: The Pulled Groin Extrapolation (2011)
The 3rd episode
The third episode and they still haven't really addressed the Raj and Penny thing from last year. Are they planning to get to that at some point? There were elements of Penny wanting to get back with Leonard in this episode and who knows, maybe Amy is trying to do something to force the issue. Anyway, a bit less satisfying than other episodes. The Howard and Bernadette relationship promises to be a funny one. Bernie is sounding more and more like Howard's mom and by the looks of things, he'll be another whipped boy by a woman who for all intents and purposes is his mother, 30 years younger. Sheldon and his toy train was cute, but it still leaves him out of the picture too much. Amy seems to be "carrying the water" when it comes to the nerd laughs.
J.P. Patches (1958)
A PNW tradition
If they ever could release more than just the 2 DVD set that is available on the JP Patches website, they would sell thousands just to people from the Pacific NW by itself. JP was absolutely pivotal to my upbringing in the 60s and 70s. He was everything to look forward to before going to school in the morning and made everyone feel welcome. Whether a Patches Pal or a Boris Buddy (you know who you are), everything JP gave to children for all those years on TV and even now is worth the price I would pay to have more of his zany and wholesome humor grace my TV set again. If you have never had the opportunity to watch JP and Gertrude, I suggest you get the dvds of them. BTW, the man just turned 80 and is still going strong (albeit battling cancer now) around the Seattle area.
Sadly, Chris Wedes, aka JP Patches, died yesterday, July 22, 2012. We will miss him here in the Seattle area.
