    Yeah... We have one more episode left. Not too bad. Few nitpicky things, a little over the top in a few places, but overall not bad. The flashbacks are a little tiresome.

    The one part I thought was hilarious (no spoiler...) was when they were talking about Reece's decorations and the guy said something like, "Silver Star, several Bronze Stars, (this and that medal)..." And then with a lot of emphasis says, "He even has an Army Commendation Medal with Valor!" Like that's some big deal after listing the Silver and Bronze Stars.

    Just finished binging "The Terminal List" last night-that's what vacation is for, right? lol I mostly enjoyed it, I agree with BG above on the flashback scenes. Yes, there will always be little things that bug me about any film-or book for that matter. I read the book when it first came out, remembered most of it and felt this series did good by it. It probably helped that Jack Carr was the executive producer-not uncommon in Hollyweird-so I'd guess he did have some input on how it went. He also had a brief cameo in it too.

    Now I have to wait for the further episodes of "The Old Man", "Dark Winds"-which I can heavily relate to from my time in Arizona and dealing with a couple of different tribes and "Joe Picket" which isn't great but I enjoy it.

    Caught the 1949 version of the "The Fountainhead" with Gary Cooper on AMC.

    My favorite example of Individualism vs Collectivism. Very influential when I first read it as an early teen in 1981.

    Netflix: The Gray Man. IMHO, tiny bit over the top at times, but otherwise nicely done fight scenes and pure entertainment.

    Just finished, entertaining. Though one thing made me laugh. He's in Bangkok and needs to get to Chang Mai, so he jumps on a tuk-tuk. It's over 400-miles.

    I certainly don't know this, but I thought they emphasized that since he was in the Navy.

    It did well to portray Ayn Rand's philosophy.

    Love the movie and the book.

    Netflix, 'The Sandman'. Fantasy, good vs. evil, dream worlds.... interesting and entertaining. It's occasionally slow, but a good watch.
