The Rockford Files: Love Is the Word (1979)
Such a strange episode Rockford sort of in love?
Rockford reunites with Megan only to find she is engaged. She's still in love with him but also her finance. There is a lot of running around and her fiancé is missing in action during most of the show. Of course Rockford sorts it out and I believe he has sex with Megan at least it's implied. The weird thing about this episode is he really seems to be in love with Megan, this is the first woman I've seen in the whole series in which he seems to be romantically in love.
But Rockford can't commit to marriage, Megan wants kids and Rockford isn't will to have kids, implied but clear IMO. He's also not suitable for marriage to Megan, he'd never move into her place and his trailer would never work for her or really for any woman wanting to have a family.
So the strange thing is, after almost the whole series is over Rockford finally falls in love but it's completely unrealistic and he's not willing to change for this love. It's just a strange thing to see after seeing him run away from love for almost six seasons.
Alone (2015)
Great Show
I was amazed at how much trouble participants had with this challenge considering the potential payoff. Isolation became a huge factor but obviously some of them were starving to death too. I think the person who won made it with mental toughness but also due to ingesting as many calories as possible and good shelter location. The man who came in second had some shelter issues and he was clearly starving to death. Going into it, I figured the animals would have been the biggest problem but it was isolation and lack of food for the people that made it more than a week. An interesting experiment. I tend to think I could do four months easy for half a million dollars but apparently that's not true. Great show.
The Ice Storm (1997)
It's not a bad Movie, it just really annoys me
It's not a bad movie, I just found it annoying. It's supposed to be deep and artsy and deal with real issues. But I just wanted to slap half the characters and say "Wow, you've got a lot of money, grow up and act like adults." I thought the kids were most entertaining but the adults acted selfish almost like they never should have had kids in the first place. The acting is good, I enjoyed a lot of it except the parts that dealt with the stupid adult behavior. They definitely did a good job with the 70s feel and I think that's what I find most annoying. They took the stereotypes from the 70s and made adult characters out of these stereotypes. Most people didn't act like that, there were some but not most.
Finding Bigfoot (2011)
They never find him
Spoiler alert, they never find Bigfoot because he is imaginary. They go to different towns and have a "town hall meeting" where 3/4 of the people raise their hand when they ask if people have seen big foot. I'm sure no one got paid to be there or raise their hand, it's co- incidence. Then they go to where people supposedly saw Bigfoot and have Bobo walk around and if he walks in the same spot this proves Bigfoot was there. Then they go out in the woods at night and say every noise they hear is "a Squatch." Then they make "calls" to these Bigfoot creatures and say they answer back. Since there has never been any DNA evidence of bigfoot, they got a job as long as the ratings hold. I'm so jealous but it's boring to watch.
Prison Break (2005)
It was exciting, but don't think too much
Good but they went to a lot of trouble for realism and then there were problems in realism. For example, when he knocks the blocks out of the back of his cell, the guards walking behind the cells would see the blocks or at least the holes. And under the infirmary drain, when he makes a hole with the acid combination, it would be noticeable. First in the stuff dripping though (didn't show when you see the bottom of the hole). Second, in the smell. It would smell horrible in the infirmary. There are other problems too, the recording device was very noticeable in the grass for example. They didn't even have a charger for their cell phones at the cabin. It's a good show, just don't think too much.
