The Terminal List

Post by Wario406 » Tue Jul 05, 2022 10:25 am

Watched 1&2 this weekend. 1 was hard to follow, 2 gained some momentum. Looking forward to the rest. I think the screenplay and acting are pretty solid. Im a fan so far.

I hear there are going to be some Ares watches in the series…

Started watching “The Old Man” this weekend too - but FX is playing games with the episodes and you have to pay additional money for key shows. F’ that.

I've been watching from the beginning, but haven't paid anything additional


Have I missed some episodes?

There really isn't a person in the show worth routing for, and they are all "bad" people to a certain extent.
I felt the same way about Breaking Bad and stopped watching because of that.

Then figured what the hell and finished the series anyway.

They pulled episode 3 from me unless I pay for it.

I was “meh” on Breaking Bad. It was ok, and Im glad I never paid for it. I was more of a Dexter fan… but, like many series they get weaker when the stars start producing them.

Breaking Bad is another one that seems like good TV but I just can’t get into it.

Finishing up tonight. What a great show overall.
Forgot to mention something. Since I’m a big fan of Land Cruisers and have had one in my family in one form or another (100, 200, LC, LX) for over 20 years, I appreciated seeing the main character driving an older LC and also him wearing a jacket with old school LC patch on the cuff.

Loved Dexter. Hated the way it ended and hated the way the reboot ended as well. I think most people fall into that camp though.

Finished this last night, thought it was pretty good and look forward to a second season. Definitely diverged from the book a bit, but not terribly so.

Im 100% with you on Dexter. hated the ending and the reboot sucked. They lost the magic in the last season. Kinda like game of thrones…

Do it. So much better than the show.

I had the same issue with Succession, and gave up on that quick. Oddly though, I enjoy Billions, which is basically the same thing, rich folks doing bad stuff.

Finished it last night, thoroughly enjoyed it. Could have had about 1/2 the "flashbacks" and have been maybe 1 total episode less as a result. Still, thumbs up.

Just started it and enjoying it so far.

Recently finished watching "Slow Horses" on Apple TV. Excellent and close to the book, Oldman is superb.

There are way more likable people in Billions than in Succession. There isn't one of Roy's kids that you don't just want to throat punch. Even the non family members for the most part suck, but I will watch it till the end.

Are any of you old enough to remember carving apple head dolls? As in, you carve a face in an apple, and then leave it around for a few days to shrink up into a little old man doll head. Pretty cool.

Point being, that fucking TV show was to the books what the dried out, shrunken apple head was to the original carvings. A *lot* was lost to the shrinkage.

That said, it was a fuckton better than a lot of what passes for TV, and Pratt delivered, so, cool. Good 1301 shotgun action by Ben, and some cool transitions to handguns, shoulder swaps while clearing, etc. by Reece/Pratt Seemed tactically au courant.

Did anyone catch the cameo by author Jack Carr in E3? An awesome cameo!

And, yeah, Carr is a fan of the Graham product. I expect some ARES action at some point in future series.

In all, I think the 6.5 out 10 on the entertainment scale is fair enough, and I’ve read all the books.

The cameo was cool, Jack got iced big time!

And, there is ARES product placement in the series according to his podcast with Graham.

I'm half way through the first episode of The Terminal List, and it is already 1000% times better than the abomination that is called Without Remorse, so hopefully it keeps it up.

Clancy is easily my favorite fiction guy, and Without Remorse is my favorite book. I wasn't surprised, but was still pissed they destroyed it.

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with Terminal List. It’s a pretty good adaptation of the book, and in some ways better because you get to see and feel the action. The acting is pretty solid too.
