It didn't help that none of the characters were in any way likable (though it certainly was to be expected from Dany's arc in GoT). You got sucked into GoT because the Starks were good people and Ned was a hand with honor. There were people to root for right off the bat.

I'm going to stick with it because there is some promising interest in what Rhaenys, the scorned potential heir will do. They key will be how Rhaenyra plays out, if they can avoid making her Dany II, that has some potential.

I will say though that Matt Smith is great (to be expected).

I felt the same way. The first episode of GoT introduced the audience to characters like Tyrion, Arya, Ned, & Jon. They were all characters I liked from the start.

In HoD I'm not sure who to root for other than Rhaenyra.


Ha. I should have read one more post, yes, this exactly.

I like it. 1 - 10 I give it 8. I won't reveal the plot. I'll just say it's not just about baseball.

The 2nd episode is very good, very GOT twist and turn ish. They have the little finger/back stabber character, the dragon lady character, the unpopular ruler... same recipe, I like it

BTW, you guys like LOR on Amazon prime? I think it's great too, big budget feel.

These two shows with industry is what I'm following right now

A Gang of Rogue Police in Baltimore Cost the City More Than $15 Million
Keith Reed
Wed, September 7, 2022, 2:05 PM

These undated photos provided by the Baltimore Police Department show, from top left, Daniel Hersl, Evodio Hendrix, Jemell Rayam, Marcus Taylor, and from bottom left, Maurice Ward, Momodu Gando, Wayne Jenkins and Thomas Allers. Once members of the department’s now-disbanded Gun Trace Task Force, all eight men have been convicted of federal racketeering charges. A state commission is focusing on providing as much clarity as possible about how orchestrated corruption in the department went undetected for years.

The long-term cost of the Baltimore Police Department’s notorious and disgraced Gun Trace Task Force to taxpayers just jumped by more than half a million dollars, the result of a newly-approved settlement with one of the gang’s victims.

I’m using the word “gang” here intentionally, to denote that the task force wasn’t just a group of rogue officers, but a corrupt, violent and organized group that terrorized neighborhoods, made money by stealing and selling drugs and banded together under a common uniform and name. In any other setting, law enforcement would’ve labeled them a gang, clique or even a mafia—and since words matter, we’ll call them what they are.

That aside, this specific gang that operated within the BPD has now cost the city north of $15 million as officials there continue to dole out payments for their reign of terror. This morning, the Baltimore Sun reported, the city’s powerful Board of Estimates unanimously approved a $575,000 settlement with a man named Darnell Earl, who spent 18 months in jail as the result of an encounter with three members of the gang.

Earl was a passenger in a car in October 2015 in the 1900 block of Monument Street that was stopped by police officers Marcus Taylor, Evodio Hendrix and Wayne Jenkins, according to Deputy Solicitor Ebony Thompson. Following the stop, the officers said they found a firearm under Earl’s seat. Earl had prior convictions for illegal possession of a gun and was charged with multiple firearms-related offenses as a result of the stop. He pleaded guilty to one charge, law officials said.

After revelations that the task force routinely violated people’s rights and stole drugs and money using the authority of their badge, Taylor, Hendrix and Jenkins pleaded guilty to federal charges. Earl’s conviction, along with many others related to the force, was vacated due to credibility issues with the officers.

Earl sued the department in 2020, alleging numerous violations of state and federal law, arguing there was no probable cause for the traffic stop and that the gun was planted in the vehicle by the officers.

Several members of the disbanded group, including two of the three officers involved, are still in prison for offenses ranging from robbing drug dealers to conspiracy to planting fake evidence on people who were later charged and convicted. The longest sentence went to Jenkins, who’s doing 25 years in federal prison in Kentucky. Thomas Allers, the former leader of the gang, id doing 15 years, but according to the Sun, is still receiving a pension from the city.

If that’s not enough, four more lawsuits related to the gang’s activity are still pending against the city, which means more taxpayer cash is likely to be spent to compensate their victims, even as the city faces a potentially expensive crisis in dealing with dangerous e. coli bacteria in its water system.

You do realize the tv show was based on this real unit?

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON has aired 6 of 10 episodes. It's a battle of families who want to control empires. Incest is an accepted way of life. It's interesting. Queen against Princess.

Have you checked out LOTR? I wonder if it's good.

Visually it looks like they spent a fortune making the show. Casting isn't bad but none of the actors have any screen presence or charisma. I'll watch it on account of being a fantasy/sci-fi fiend but it's very, very easy for me to hit the pause button and find something else to do.

No I did not I actually ended up rewatching season 1 of Westworld so I can finally watch the other seasons. It is definitely on the list though.

The first season is the only one to watch. Goes way too over the top and moves away from the really interesting stuff after that.

I am. I will say that I didn't care for Rogue One at all so I didn't have any expectations for this. But so far it's pretty good. It's interesting to see the beginning seeds of the Rebel alliance from the point of view of normal citizens who don't have any connection to the Force or special powers. I think Star Wars needs to go away from that stuff because that well is pretty dry by now.

Same plot, with different characters. I see where you're going, everyday people going against those with powers. It's still DEFEAT THE EMPIRE!!! with a different different attack plan.

Netflix has a larger movie library but they don't have TNF.

You can search for Netflix movies on Prime. You'll find many of them. Some are free some are rent or buy.

House of the Dragon has more twists and turns than the Yellow Brick Road. Princess Rhaenyra is a survivor. Any who stand in her way stand on a path of death even Laenor. Is he dead or did he survive Qarl's attack? Is he the father of Rhaenyra's children of is Daemon?
