    i really was enjoying this show, until something that happened last episode that seems like it's going to be a huge plot development.

    i get that this israeli chick is supposed to be the ultimate badass, but what are the odds of actually making a shot like she did down the alley?  a billion to one?  worse?

    Yea, that one stretched credibility.   I am far more pissed about who she hit with that shot & sincerely hoping it isn't the end it looks to be.

    It really neutered the fudge out of some characters, like Avasarala.  Some of her lines in the book are epic, but she couldn't translate them to SyFy due to the language restrictions.

    Agree 100% - her rants in the books are epic and would starch a sailors uniform.

    I do think they have the right actress in place for her and I am hoping Amazon lets them let loose a little.

  3. And now for something completely different - how about a former military Land Rover.

    It tops out at about 50 MPH even after I added an overdrive but man is it a blast to drive in the summer.

  4. This was my 1977 Dirk Diggler special.

    I really loved that car but ended up selling it when I had a chance to get into a C2 - my current '64 Corvette.

    I'll go ahead and say it now. Square toed boots are more comfortable and rock for work wear. I'll agree they don't look as good, but I don't care when I'm wearing work or ranch boots. Also, a lot if not most of the original cowboy boots from the mid nineteenth century had square toes, albeit not the duck billed boots we have now.

    Agree 100%.   The older I get the less fucks I give about looks and the more I give about comfort - especially with shoes (or in this case boots).

  6. I'm traveling to Orlando tomorrow for business and am planning on swinging by Randall Made.  I was there a few years ago but they were in the process of moving into the new museum so I didn't get to see any of that.   

    I was able to pick up a nice Model 16 - SP1 that someone had ordered but they couldn't contact - happens a lot when there is a 5 year backlog.   Hoping to make another score this time.  :)

    The book is great - really hoping Spielberg doesn't F this one.

    OK, finally had a chance to go see the movie and was pleasantly surprised.   As others have said it isn't exactly the book - no movies are but I get that, I'm sure licensing issues for all the items referenced in the book would be almost impossible to get.  My nephew who I went with and has never read the book enjoyed it so it looks like the rare movie that appeals to both purist and those going in with a clean slate.

    Also glad I paid the extra $ for IMAX, this film deserves it.

     

    Only disappointment - where were the Rush songs?   After Tom Sawyer was such a big part of the previews I was really waiting for it.  Oh well, if that is my biggest gripe I will call it a win.
