OT: Quarantine Playlist

[maust]

Sherlock is garbage. I mean, I love it, do not doubt that. I've rewatched it a few times and enjoyed it every time but I wince at calling it well-written.

You mistook my meaning by a wide mark. It isn't good crime writing, it's good Holmes writing. OFC the actual 'crime scenarios' are rubbish, they are meant to be. That doesn't keep the very clever way various Arthur Conan Doyle plots from multiple stories get woven into one tale from being quite good. The pastiche is both an homage and a send up. Also, at least to me, the best writing in any series shows in the dialogue which usually shines in Sherlock.

I put it in the same class with Justified, another series I really enjoy even though the scenarios are preposterous. In both cases the fundamental purpose of the storylines are to place the main characters in the right situation to deliver great dialogue.

The first season was very good. The 2nd started strong but went into a sophomore slump. I hope it regains its footing next season but not counting on it.

We watched and like all of it.

Oh forgot to mention the kids aren’t in school due to the virus.

I expect that you have Disney+ and Netflix. With those, you won't run out.

You all might enjoy the Marvel stuff and the new Star Wars stuff. We loved the first year of Mandelorian. There are lots of shorts. Also, there are several new animated Star War series.

Sherlock is great as long as you have the closed captioning on. It was actually the show that made me go out and get a streaming player with closed caption options for every app. Could not understand a damn word they were saying.

We need closed caption plus headphones for most of the British stuff. It's worth it though.

I'll post my list in the next couple of days.

We are now binging on
Ray Donovan (wife)
The Expanse (me)
and Homeland (both of us)

 

[Coolade]

Houston game on now... Week 13.

Offense bad again. 3 points in first half. Brady pick on slant.. oops.

Hard to put finger on it. The offense just weird. Lots of running plays when they needed momentum. Where's the Brady mojo? He definitely stopped throwing to certain guys. Brain cramp .

 

[Coolade]

KC game now.. ug. 3rd and 3 botched... Blocked FG

 

[Coolade]

1 st and 10 .. ugly pick.. ooops . That one looked like underthrown maybe into the wind, first throw of the drive maybe he was tight .

 

[Coolade]

Meyers alligator arms. 4 th down? Brady pressured. Nope.

 

[Coolade]

Collins highlight.. oh shyt, he's gone...

 

[Coolade]

OK .. big moment. 3:49 left first half . Down by 10. Brady Time..

First down... Botched screen
2nd down.. botched screen
3rd down .. pressure scud.

 

[Coolade]

1 minute left .. Brady?

Spagnola defense. . Not happening.

Boos at Gillette.

 

[Coolade]

2 ND half . 17-0 worst second quarter in Gillette stadium ever. Ok blocked punt. Mojo. Running TD. 23-13.

Then... Dumb 2 pt try? When down by 10? 3rd qtr.?

So we're off the bizarro recorded quasi GDT and back to the original theme...or no?

Admittedly I saw the thread and the first few pages of responses and just figured I’d throw my hat into the ring.

If the topic had moved on, my bad

Playlist ... Replays of Bradys final games.

If that topic had become too painful..... Or too boring.? IDK

 

[Coolade]

Wake up... I don't believe it. Patriots dolphins. The game.

Just got to watch mcD Brady and Belichick not stopping the clock with 3 timeouts when defense stopped Miami on 3 Rd down . There was 1:40 on the clock.

Insult to the fans. And the defense.

Then 3 and out to start 2 ND half. Score tied 10-10.

 

[Coolade]

Offense dysfunction. Game over . Season over . Brady over.

And no surprise that MCD got no head coach job.
