While missing some proper firearms handling protocols and perhaps a few other things, the show was a very well written one. I think perhaps better than the movie, which is not usually the case in TV shows made to carry on a good movie. The character development was very good. It started on Showtime as an original series, then moved on to the SciFi channel later one, I believe. It also spawned a couple spin-offs which were also very good.
Sometimes you have to suspend your technical eye in one area and just enjoy the entertainment. And it was very entertaining.

Ironically, the language stuff was all handled incredibly well in that movie.
..."glare ice" that's what we also called it in Wisconsin as it looked like glare on the highway. Out here they call it "black ice."
...like I mentioned earlier, If I could afford it Hilo Hawai'i would be my more speed. Lovely old Hawai'ian town where it's 75° - 85° all year long and few tourists because it rains there every afternoon at around 15:00 (you could almost set your watch to that).
...the two I mentioned are "nectar of the gods" and don't cost as much as Blue Label.
Yeah, but this is one reason I'm down on Hollywood. But I have heard that the television series' were pretty good.
Well at least they tried to get one part of it right. And the special effects weren't too bad either. :)
I would think that every place it's 75 year round would be expensive. Why is that?
I've heard the temps in Northern California are nice year round.
Non-complaint: I lived in Florida for a total of several decades then moved north when I retired back to my hometown in the boondocks of western NY State. Because it was cheaper to survive here in a proper house (well, half of one anyway) than a trailer park or tiny apartment in Florida that needed heat in the winter, and air-conditioning in the summer, pest control year 'round, and storms that could either flood you or blow your roof off, or just make a kite of your carport every other year. Yeah, I miss Florida where I could ride for miles on a bicycle along flat land on proper bike trails & lanes, instead of stuck in a bowl half a mile in diameter where this town is serviced by two-lane roads with rocky shoulders the width of a toaster. I miss taking my shirt off and getting some sun. I miss the beach and surf. I miss walking out in the back yard and picking large sweet perfectly ripe and juicy grapefruit from the tree each morning. I miss the wide vistas across the Indian River Lagoon. I miss the ambience of sunsets behind palm trees as the temperature becomes comfortable. I miss DisneyWorld & Universal Studio, I miss Orlando, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale and Key West.
Speaking of alligators, one was removed from my Florida neighborhood a hundred yards from our door. Also, one summer when I regularly bicycled 7 miles to the multiplex cinema I noticed a big o'l 'gator in the pond behind the theaters (yeah, parents; drop your kids off at the theater and trust that they don't wander back to the pond
). I don't miss battling coral snakes and water moccasins in the garage. I don't miss walking into 5-foot wide spider webs strung between trees. Spiders in the garage are OK but are fair game in the house. Green Anoles (native Florida "chameleons") on the orange tree outside the window were cute and fun to watch giving sex displays (the anoles were giving the sex displays, not me). Eagles and hawks and even Great Horned Owls flew around the city. Spotted the owl sitting on the roof ledge of the hospital, watching for mice in the vacant field during dusk. Florida was wonderful for me but too expensive compared to this place.
Complaint: That being said... now without a car, and living in a northern wilderness, I am trapped in this bastion of rural conservative mentality.
I used to escape in the car to small islands of civilization like Chautauqua, Buffalo or Erie or even Pittsburgh to rekindle my hope for mankind.
'Nother Complaint: Trapped as I am, in this picturesque but stagnant and isolated little town without my car, I can't get to a half decent restaurant weekly anymore. It has helped my waistline but not my demeanor. However, there is one almost tolerable restaurant in town. Two actually but they are in the two bars in town. I don't like going to either because neither has their restaurant separated from the bar and the yokels at the bar apparently never learned about their indoor voice. I'm forced to put up with the loud drunken whooping and bellowing from the men and the shrieking and cackling from the women. One of the town bars is for the low-lifes (those who have been to jail and curse and swear and are prone to belligerence in public) the other is for the tame locals. It's open only Friday and Saturday nights. Their menu is 90% fried food and specialize (like all bumpkin restaurants in this area) in fried fish on Friday. I tried their steaks but was sorely disappointed. Fortunately though, they do have grilled salmon, so there is at least one thing I can eat that won't kill me immediately.
So, to get on with my story... I go in last night really looking forward to grilled salmon. I put in my order, get my drink from the bar eat my stale bun and work my way through the salad and then the waitress comes out and says that the cook has determined that the salmon "is off" (i.e. beyond its prime). Well, I appreciate them not trying to push it onto me despite its diseased condition but that left me with only one thing left on the menu, hot roast beef sandwich, which turned out to be tolerable but like every gravy sauce in this area was loaded with salt. I think one could preserve pickles in it.
I had a whole week's ration of salt in that one meal.
And yes, in the winter I hole up here for weeks at at time even when I had a car but now, without a car I'll have to be very careful about making that quarter-mile walk to the grocery store and postoffice during icy conditions.
Non-complaint: Without a car I won't have to dig my car out of 4 feet of snow. Yay!
Wow. Thank you for that. I would dislike living in your town.
Mental Note #5268: Budget for (and fund) heating, air conditioning, gator and snake removal, and personal transportation in retirement. Work at least another few years after earliest retirmeent age and bank that money so that I don't have to move North just to retire. Possible added options include keeping the old beater another year or two, reducing monthly subscriptions by another one or two, and don't take up drinking, vaping, or morning/afternoon lattes. And keep cooking my own salmon at home.
At least the tacos won't need to be eliminated. Yet.
Normally I'd be depressed. But I'm a motivated planner.
Major non-complaint: Yay! My new CPU has finally shipped from Amazon. They claim it will be delivered tomorrow (Monday) but somehow I doubt that because it's coming by USPS instead of UPS. Perhaps by Tuesday I'll be motivating electrons to dance in my new computer. Yay!
I think this is probably the first time ever I hear anything good about Pittsburgh. Where you live must be pretty bad if Pittsburgh seems like hope for humanity in comparison. And here I've always thought upstate NY was supposed to be a great place. (But then again, "rural and conservative" is pretty much my native world, and I am a very demotivational person.)
thanks. i'll look for Ardbeg or Talisker my next trip. too chill out to go without
sigh pruning the mrs chow and mabel bundles reduced my cart total significantly
the sy nebulae not going to do much in carrara, pruned another 10 bux
progress
i need some river dance poses
What I want to know is how my render settings got changed. I usually render in Ultra HD but it got flipped to Full HD.
Render settings, by default, load with scenes - and then, for size, stick in newly created scenes.
Yup, I think it was because I had been messing with an old scene last night. Didn't realize I had the lower resolution. Still kind of amazing that it rendered so fast. :)
non complaint watched a he mann episode they showed prince adam in his jammies. lol
tee hee tee hee hee, kinda looked like a cheerleader outfit so cute
the episode with the shaper rod. evil-lynn
...if you are referring to Humboldt County (Eureka/Arcata) and the Redwoods area, yeah it is more like Oregon and not quite as expensive as the big cities further to the south, No risk of snow and ice either. Thought about that, but then I'd have to live a year there without the supplemental support I get here until I gained residency.
Getting there is a pain though as Running Dog abandoned their direct Oregon/California coastal route (no connections) so you have to connect first in Sacramento and then Oakland before heading back north. Sad as the old route was one of the few actually nice bus rides I've been on (used to attend the Eureka Kite Festival every year) because it travelled along the central and southern Oregon coast and through part of Redwood country when it got into California.
Perhaps I should save my other PC+ coupon for a new sale.
So many outfits I want...
So many hairp pieces I want...
So many things...
Tried to do something that didn't work. Nothing to see here. Move along...
..PC sale should be beginning soon.
Today apparently... Not much within my scope though. I put some things in my cart but they aren't MUST haves.
We'll see how it goes though! :)
Non-complaint: Wheee... miracles do occur.
My new CPU has arrived at the local postoffice. Yay! 
Now, to wait for a break in the rain before they close at 1:00 PM 
Non-complaint: Wheee... Have retrieved new CPU from postoffice. Have installed CPU and cooler. Have powered on. Hard drives and DVD drive recognized. Electrons are dancing! Yay!
Win10-Pro is being installed. Wheee...
contemplating walking to the carvel
need motivation to get up and go out
chapters playin in my head, which dont count tili i write it down.
I'm too busy to reinstall my Daz Studio runtime library. Maybe I can download Genesis and a few clothes Friday night.
Non-complaint: Yay! Installation of Win10 going smoothly, updates happening quickly.
Also, I've discovered that alcohol works fine for removing the black goo (alien black slug snot) that I've managed to dot my desk area with.
Slight Complaint: I'd replaced a motherboard before but I had never bought a new CPU chip before. I didn't know that they came with a default cooler.
So, now I've got an extra cooler taking up space in my parts bin.
I went ahead and used the slightly bigger one I'd purchased separately. It's got LEDs in it. Oooh fancy!
But I didn't hook them up. My case isn't transparent. Waste of 'lectrons.
..we used to have Carvel in Milwaukee when I was growing up.
...agh, did a BYOB in the PC+ sale and in my cart it comes to over 78$ instead of 2.99$. Several others are experiencing the same issue. A number of PC+ items are also showing with the full list instead of PC+ price. Not sure what's going on.
