Season one review: 1899

It’s been a while since I’ve done a TV review. And it’s not because I’ve only been watching Critical Role. I’m still watching that, but since I’ve finished Campaign 2, I’ve really only been watching it once a week now. I don’t really have an interest in watching Campaign 1.

So aside from Critical Role, we have been watching a smattering of other shows, but mostly Law & Order. We discovered that Amazon Prime has like 16 seasons – so to wind down at the end of the night, we’ll watch a couple of episodes, then head off to bed.

Pitter patter…

I’ll try and review this awesome show – even though I’ve only watched it once all the way through. I probably should watch it through again.

From the creators of Dark, they bring us the next instalment of weird.

1899

The Ship.

The show started out in 1899, on a boat making its way from England to New York. It’s a boat full of immigrants.

It truly starts out as a period piece, and slowly morphs into something strange and wonderful.

And now as I try to write this, I cannot do a review. I’ll end up spoiling it. And you can only watch a show like this once – for the first time. So do me a favour, open up Netflix, and find 1899. Watch it. Binge it, then watch it again, and see if you can write a review.

Go. Now.

And all along I believed I would find you

Omg omg omg, yesterday was my birthday, and Crystal gave me a great birthday present! I’ll be talking about the other present probably Saturday. But this one is freakin awesome.

It’s a 12 disc dvd set of quite possibly the finest saga in the world: the Twilight Saga.

I cannot wait to delve into the special features! 12 hours of special features! Twelve hours!

The photo book is amazing!

Just to be fun, here my book collection as well haha. Does this make me a two-hard?

Team Edward!

Crystal, you made a good decision in this purchase I love it! Thank you so much ❤️

Lockup Library: Home Video

I just finished the final episode of the final season of Battlestar Galatica. All I can say is wow. What a terrific end to a series.

I think the last 3 episodes are the longest I’ve sat in one place – glued to the TV. I just had to see how it ended.

I’m so very happy that I managed to sit through the first season. That was the hardest part. It just grinds you. Once you make it past the first, you’re golden.

All I have to say is goddamn – The Adama Maneuver. Holy shitballs.

So say we all.

Home Video – John Wick 3

I watch, so you don’t have to. This weeks submission is John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum. Wow. What a shit show.

Now the first one had a story line. It was fresh and new, and brought a new way to tell a good, violent popcorn flick. I don’t remember the second one at all. To be honest, I’m not sure that I’ve even seen it.

However, it all changes with Chapter 3. Razor thin plot, Halle Berry was completely useless in this. And the fight scenes? WAAAY too long. I think the final fight was like 20-30 minutes. That’s pretty much 10 minutes too long.

It also unapologetically sets up what I hope is the final sequel.

So in other words, don’t waste your time. Just watch John Wick 1, and you’ll have more fun then the third outing.

Home Video – The Hunger Games

So, this week, instead of reading, I watched a trilogy in 4 parts. That’s right, movie nerds, I watched The Hunger Games. Based on a bestselling trilogy of books by Suzanne Collins, we’re transported to the world of Panem.

I won’t get into the whole history of the Hunger Games. Y’all have read the books by now. I know it’s been years since I’ve read them. I was introduced to them, when a tropical storm hit Rhode Island, and we lost power for like a week.

In my opinion, the first book was really really good. Then it went down hill from there. But I digress. I’m not here to talk about the book series. I’m here to talk about the dumpster fire that is the film series.

JLaw, in my opinion, cannot act her way out of a wet paper bag. She’s terrible. I think a wet labradoodle could have been a better Katnis Everdeen.

I went through the whole series ( I’m on the last movie as I type this), with no emotional investment in any of the characters.

Are the books better than the movies? Or the other way around? I don’t think I have an answer for that. Your thoughts?
