I finally finished this too and tears were shed. Thought the 2nd last episode was a great ending (and actually thought it was until ep 20 auto play came up) and wished they did a better job with the actual finale.

Spoiler:
Guess covid screwed them a bit with only Bobby being in heaven. Missed not seeing Cas and Jack. Even Eileen for Sam would've been good

For the first half of the episode I was PISSED. I kind of liked that they went back to a classic monster of the week, but having Dean go out like that really upset me. I just kept thinking, "They can't be doing this, they can't be doing this" and they **** did it.

But they mostly saved it. Heaven and Bobby were great. I like how Sam got the good life he deserved. Like you I was bummed they didn't have more people in the heaven scene, though. Cas not being there sucked. Mary, John, Jess, Jo, Jody, Gordon, and Ellen would have been incredible. But the ending scene on the bridge with the brothers was perfect.

I was today's day old when I realized how much I was spending on streaming TV services. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Discovery+, Disney+, AppleTV+, HBOMax, and then the kickers: subscriptions inside of Prime: AMC+, Paramount+, Showtime, and Starz. I also pay for Cable TV. I'm a goddamn idiot.

It was a great action movie, right? It was the first movie I saw in the theatre since they partly reopened here in the Bay Area and it was exactly what I needed to see. Total popcorn flick that was entertaining from beginning to end. I felt like I was living vicariously through him since we have had our home broken into twice in the past (luckily we weren't home when they happened).

Odenkirk was talking about how he had been through two home invasions and almost didn't take "Better Call Saul" because of them in an interview I just listened to. He said he said "no" twice, then he talked to his family and they gave him the okay. When he called his agent to tell him he was in they had upped the offer.

Anyway, I think acting this out was cathartic for him as well. Like practicing psychodrama without being aware of it.

No, you're not an idiot. My two cents, entertainment companies priced them in a way that individually they appear cheap, they spaced out their launches so you didn't purchase them all at once, and there is legitimate entertainment value at those individual price points. You aren't the only one spending more on TV entertainment than you did a few years ago, the move from cable to streaming has been fast and opened new revenue streams that didn't exist prior. Pandemic didn't help that cause either. Too many choices.

One consumer strategy is to subscribe to a few for a couple months and rotate but they were smart and made many of them annual subscriptions at teaser rates so you get hooked and just end up continuing to pay after the year is up. Not sure what how it will shake out but maybe they find a way to bundle them for consumers along with live TV. But they don't really have incentive right now because everyone just started subscribing to these new services over the past year or two.

REALLY enjoyed this episode. Was that the season finale? Mid-season finale? I can never keep track anymore.

That was it for the current season. The final season starts in August. 24 episodes. 8 this year, 8 early next year and the final 8 in the second half of 2022.

So even when the show mercifully comes to an end, they find a way to stretch it out as long as possible. Classic TWD.

Oh yeah, and then there is the "spinoff" series with Carol and Darryl (and his other brother Darryl).

Wife and I watched Chronos (1993) and Stardust (2007) over the weekend. I'd seen and fondly remembered both, and she'd not seen either. Happy to report they held up. Chronos is just a pacing/effects masterclass, and Ron Pearlman is so damn charming. Stardust is based on a Gaiman book, so you know it's going to be playing around with its genre, but the humor and romance aspects have aged well.

I gave the first episode of Invincible a try but the animation is pretty rough and it wasn't that interesting.

Huh. I was unaware of the comic and have really enjoyed the three episodes I saw. I mean, the end of that first episode made my jaw drop.

On Thursday I found out about the BBC's Bodyguard on Netflix. Binged the six episodes on Sunday. Good stuff... I understand they're gonna finally film a 2nd season. I'm looking forward to it.

I guess like a lot of people, I finally found the show when I eventually got tagged in on the "snipper scene". It was intense... I linked it.
