  1. This weeks ep was really good except I didn't understand one thing:
  2. On the contrary, they did a great job over the episodes of showing how the bond between the two progressed. He clearly loved her as much as he did his biological child and wasn't going to let anything happen to her. So, it made sense that he would take the drastic steps to save her, where he was unable to with his real daughter.
  3. I thought about making a shower joke what with it being called Golden Grading and all, but that would be too easy and might get me banned
  4. Liked the finale and the whole season but my two favorite episodes are 5 and 8.
  5. Looks like they got Burt Reynolds to stand in for Lee
  6. Episode 7 showed all the reasons why I love this show and to me was the best ep so far. The acting was very strong, especially from Bella. I rooted and cheered for her when she finally escaped and actually cried a little when she fell into Pedro's arms. The final look on her face really conveyed the emotional trauma she had just been through. Can't wait to see the finale!
  7. As a young lad, in 1983 I was hooked on watching the animated show Spider-man and his Amazing Friends every Saturday morning. As much as I liked Spidey, I never became a collector of his comics. It was a guest group that I fell in love with and one character from that group in particular. The episode was A Firestar is Born and it guest starred both the X-Men and Juggernaut. But the one character that really caught my eye was Wolverine. Those freaky claws! So, in August of that same year, I was sent to the local Dairy Mart to pick up cigarettes (amazing at one time they would sell to kids and even give you matches), milk and bread. I was supposed to give my mom back the change, but I saw something that would make me into a lifetime collector, a copy of Uncanny X-Men 172 with Wolverine on the front cover and bought it. I forget the excuse I used for buying it, but they didn't make me return it so From that humble start, I would eventually make my way downtown and become a regular at an actual comic shop called Treasure Island, located inside a mini mall. At the entrance stood a cardboard cutout of Blackbeard the pirate next to a treasure chest full of bundled $1 books. As you walked in, the glass display case on the left held some nice keys that included X-Men #1 which was far beyond my reach at the time selling for $1000. Next to the case were dollar bin books and back issues in long boxes. My head would spin as I gazed upon the great assortment of wall books displayed, wishing my parents were millionaires so I could snatch them all up. The place was fun and magical all at the same time. It was also the site of one of my greatest comic collecting missteps. A shop employee whom I had gotten to know was big on a book that had just released and he highly recommended it to me. He handed me a copy and I took a look at the cover and flipped through it quickly. "My money is for real mutants!" I told him as I put it back on the shelf. Little did I know those dang mutant turtles would be big and that copy of issue #1 that I put back would be worth a pretty penny some day! Oh well, I was pretty happy with all the X books I came away with from there and still have Wolverine's limit series I bought from them. The place has since closed down and I was sad to see it go, but the memories remain.
  8. I will be seeing this when it hits streaming and I wouldn't be at all surprised if this ends up in comic book form. Cocaine Bear Debuts with Perfect Score at Rotten Tomatoes (msn.com)
