One of the best battle scenes I've ever seen, too. Good stuff all around.

I still have a few minutes left and this is probably the best episode start to finish if you want pure entertainment.

Yep, watched it last night. Seemed like they left it open if they decided to bring it back.

I liked that series very much but forgot about it waiting for the final season. Must watch it. Is the final season good? (no spoilers please)

It is always good for me when it comes to POI but it seems obvious that they made the season in a rush. Previous seasons were better but u won't get bored I suppose. It is POI after all. Season finale had some great music again.

I grew up on 80s New Wave and this certainly sounds exactly like it. Young Rivals sounds like a mesh of a bunch of stuff I used to listen to. After Dark a good one too...good beat.

I could destroy your life with good music in that case. I figured we had the same tastes.........lover

Well you haven't destroyed my life yet...have at it.

Dude you can you can bet on anything. You can bet on alien life coming to earth or whether the next James Bond will be black (current odds on Idris Elba are 16/1 btw).

If you're into following such things, did Tom Hiddleston ever get into the odds list? Watching that great spy thriller The Night Manager I kept thinking he'd make the perfect Bond. I really like Elba, but not sure I buy him a Bond. I also like Damian Lewis, but as Bond. No way.

So after asking for songs, I added a bunch and was doing my first listen through, and I don't even know if this was a recommendation here, but for whatever reason I added it...most of the songs I added I like, but there is something about this one I really like...just chill...great song..

The most un-Bond thing possible would be dating Taylor Swift. He should be removed from the list immediately.

Are you saying Hiddleston is doing that? That would be surprising, but anyway, regardless, he is the best James Bond character possibility out there. If there is anyone who likes good spy thrillers, watch the short six episode run of The Night Manager...you might like it more if you watched House, because Hugh Laurie is the villain.

Don't know if it has been mentioned yet but 'Fargo' is easily one of the best shows ever. Actors, script, editing, filming, music. Everything is just perfect. My go to recommendation if anyone asks me for something to watch.

Yes, the acting is superb first of all. Season one I thought had a few unnecessary story lines, but overall still great. Season two was practially flawless and probably the best single season serial story.

The movie is one of my all time favorites too.

Now I changed this up, and rap isn't my favorite, but curious, since someone mentioned how rap became terrible. I liked some of the more mainstream rap over the years (OutKast, Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Tupac, Notorious BIG, and a bunch of more one hit wonder types from the 80s and early 90s).

I will rotate this to other genres like alternative or one hit wonders.

I'll start with this one...

I'm not into rap but there are few gems. This, and everything else is not even close (yeah, I'm old

):

If you like 80s movies and thriller type shos, this show seems to be a combination of a bunch of different types of movies from the 80s and even has 80s music. It came out yesterday on netflix and the first episode is really intriguing.

Yeah, my wife and I are halfway through the season too and we both really like it. It's a blend of so many 80's and 90's movies and TV shows not to mention the much more recent Super 8. One minute you're reminded of ET, the next you're thinking Poltergeist or maybe even X-Files. I love the music (there's some from the 60's and 70's too in addition to all the 80's stuff) but it's using a lot of covers and I almost always prefer the originals. Still, good music is good music.

I like the fact that they are going to wrap up the major mystery this season, the Duffers have promised it won't follow the pattern of The Killing. If they have a 2nd season (which looks likely) they said it will feel more like a sequel than a 2nd season.
