Finished ARROW last night.....I'm not ashamed to admit, my eyes were a bit watery at the end. What a great series; mid-way through Season 4 (with Neil McDonough as Damiem Darhk, the villain got to be a bit tiresome in spite of how much I like Neil McDonough in general) but aside from that I think the series as a whole is amazing. The best of all the CW ARROW-Verse shows, and for all the kinds of shows I like to watch....ARROW as a series ranks up there with my all-time favourites. Will have to finish The FLASH (seasons 5 through 9) to see how I feel about that series as a whole....As with ARROW Season 4, I got really tired with Season 4 (The Thinker was the Season's Big Bad), and after that I didn't really watch it regularly....Then they put it on Netflix and by that time I'd given up on it all together (though I still bought the Seasons as they were released on BD). But I haven't actually seen Seaons 5 through 9 in their entirety. I have a very vague idea of how the series ends (something about Barry choosing to share the lightning with others....thereby creating other Speedsters like Jesse Quick, Max Mercury), but that's about all I know. I don't know enough about how the FLASH works out on a whole to make a firm decision.
As for the other CW shows, I gave up on Legends after Season 3, and I only watched the first season of Batwoman (with Ruby Rose); after she got let go, I gave up. Then it got canned after season 2

Finished Story of Kunning Palace, Chinese period drama. Enjoyable watch. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/elVHKRxPverbDpfdrrFs.png) A Girl Like Me, Chinese period drama I remember I watched this before but cannot remember how the plot goes. I do remember the FMC's, parents are trying to find a suitable partner for their daughter, Ban Hua. Ban Hua is good looking, well learned, skilled in martial arts. The bad thing about her is her temper which is why most of the potential suitors are running in the opposite direction. On the eve of yet another marriage in which she's rejected, she had a strange dream that this bridegroom will also refuse to marry her. Sure enough, he sent his rejection via a message arrow. Furious, she set off into the city to confront him and came across Rong Xia, a scholar who has just arrived in the city to look for answers to the tragedy that befell his family. Rong Xia's servant remarked that Ban Hua is not gentle nor virtuous. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/elVHKRxPverbDpfdrrFs.png)

I haven't read the book, but I know many book readers take issue with the show due to changes to the storyline and some characters, as well. It's not that they made changes, it's the fact that they threw the book away and kept only the title. The books are a collection of short stories, written in the 40's; they are very early sci-fi, and describe for the first time many of the ideas we take for granted today. The script should've been given to someone who knows and understands what they have.

The Boys is getting a spinoff Prequel. "Vought Rising" It stars Soldier Boy and Stormfront.
I am... not sure about a prequel. I mean, it'll be fun if they stick to roughly the same formula as The Boys, but I'm getting bored of franchises looking backwards.

I find the level of detail in the X Files surprising. In one episode Scully is reading a newspaper. It is visible for about a second. So, I paused it. And it was an article related to the fictional story. It is not only a headline, but a complete article. Awesome. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/uYQYVMAupPAfTXFFwWlB.png)

Finished Banshee S1: RE:DKR, you really will have to be more specific about which gore scene you were referring too. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/LGLtCPvIKeQPFXyYM0Ed.png) The albino dick? The wife/Olek-beatdown? There are options! ![:hue:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/ZDCxlLVfxVqwoLq0PQbI.png) Or in a later season? *** Pretty good, obviously liked it enough to burn through the first season. Critically lacking in dragons and spaceships, but I made do. Daughter twist was nice, didn't see that coming at all and probably should've. She's pretty good for a kid-actor too. Also, she now has dirt on not-Dad/Mr. Hopewell in the form of his marijuana usage, curious to see that play out. They left the season with him and the kids leaving in the car. (Awfully nice of them leave her the house instead of the other way around. ![:rollseyes:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/ZAddSJoGFVGOhkAZMQPp.gif) ) So right now daughter's on his side but I'm suuure that'll last, right? ![B)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/xriJHFqkTvNyLlaecvjc.png) I liked Job's sassyness and Sugar's pragmatism. Loved that Job started to like Sugar at the end there. Sugar has a big ole bullseye on his back though. Absolutely the type of character upon which the next villain can build a new hero's-vendetta by killing him. Hope to see more Job in S2 as well, but not too much. He's great as an interjection in the pacing and provides a wit the show would otherwise be lacking, but too much wouldn't be good. 'Bit more wouldn't hurt though. Interesting little C arc with the officer who was passed over for promotion winding up being given it (at least the badge) by Hood, and just his general "are you shittin' me?" attitude towards him was nice. The turnaround from possible antagonist to ride-or-die was good too. Homelander-Hood seems to have some redeeming qualities, but his waifu Anastasia/Carrie decided to really double-down on making every bad decision possible. It was quite something. She's probably my least favourite. Not faulting on her acting though, she's playing it well. (My god she'd cosplay as a great praying-mantis with those eyes and cheekbones.) Starr does a good job too ofc. Even if I get a bit odded out occasionally as the only role I've seen him in is The Boys and this one is fairly different at the end of the day. That and the short brown hair throws me lol. Gordon Hopewell. Other than apparently being a doormat I'm not sure what to make of him. Perhaps some time away will drop his balls, assuming Carrie doesn't carry them around with her. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/owWrzuEilTccLHMzbPAy.png) Kai Proctor and his niece have good potential as antagonists. Proctor was one of my favourites to watch. Burton makes for a great creepy MFer. "We're casting for a buff-poindexter." Him watching the niece in the pool and her weird not-yet-kinda semi-seduction of her uncle seem likely to clash somewhere. The mayor was about as useful as nipples on a man. Rabbit was alright but less fleshed out and interesting than Proctor by a magnitude of order. One dimensional motivations and pretty typical reactions. Kinda had him pegged as a single-season antagonist while Proctor'd be a multi-season. Apparently Rabbit got away though so...? Wasn't a fan of that. I have a hunch they're going to try to make him more of a grey-zone next season if he does stick around. I'm not really here for it, Proctor fills that role. Rabbit filled the "dragon that needs slaying" position well enough. Not sure what to make of the tribe/tribal lands-casino plot. It's giving Proctor something to do while Hood does Hood things but I dunno where it's going. I liked the idea of Proctor and the old Chief going back a ways and having a certain respect for each other. The son/new chief seems like a bit of a lil shit and I won't miss him; the daughter is hawt. Hope she doesn't get the characterization version of "resting bitch face" for the entirety of next season though. Last time I saw the FBI agent's actor was in House of Cards and he's basically playing the exact same role despite differences. I won't miss him either. All around, not too shabby though. Quite happy enjoying the glorious breasticles and mature themed plots.

Finished A Girl Like Me. It's a bit draggy so I skipped parts that didn't seem important. Sword and Brocade, Chinese Period Drama Story is about the dynamics of the harem where a noble could have a wife and many concubines. Ruling over the harem is often the matriarch of the family. Shiyi niang of Luo Family was chosen to marry Marquis Ling Yi by her ill eldest half sister whose intention was to ensure her son has protection and remain the heir. Shiyi realised her half sister's intentions after unintentionally getting involved with her scheme to discredit the niece of the matriarch (of whom she wants to marry Ling Yi after the daughter in law's death) so she cannot become the wife. Having no say where marriage is concern, she marries Ling Yi and sets about to uphold her, now dead, eldest half-sister's wishes. I remember this drama as a good watch. As this is a drama set centuries ago, arranged marriages was the norm and the brides had no control over whom they marry. Once married, they simply become brood mares or forgotten if the husband had many concubines. Thus if there were many concubines, inevitably, those who wanted more benefits would fight for it. Ruling over the harem, the matriarchs had full control and the power to punish and persecute. Since power is a drug, forms of abuse is always there. It's most amusing to read a reviewer complaining about the relationship between Shiyi and Ling Yi, saying it took two years for them to consummate the marriage. As Ling Yi held the post of general, he upheld his responsibilities industriously and his duties took a lot of his time. Marrying yet another wife of whom he did not know, it's hardly surprising he was not the randy sort. Additionally, he was not happy with all the scheming among the women. The reviewer also put down Ling Yi's character and wonder why he should be sympathised with when he hardly paid any attention to the other concubines and always neglect them. The person seemed to have forgotten that he is a general with heavy responsibilities and that men did not meddle with nor supervise the harem nor would they be interested. It's only when there were serious incidents would the men be asked to pass judgement or interfere. The other point brought up by the reviewer was the schemes the concubines put in motion to gain the husband's favour. How stupid, etc etc. Well then, it would be a pretty boring drama if the women did nothing. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/elVHKRxPverbDpfdrrFs.png)

Watched Justice League last night. Had never acutally seen the entire thing before froms start to finish, only bits and pieces. I actually really enjoyed it. Not the solid flick like Wonder Woman (part 1), or Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy or even some of the Superman movies. But it was enjoyable.

Meh. Jensen Ackles? Great. Aya Cash? Great. But yeah, I don't need to see the rise of corporate fascism in the the fictional US. More than happy to see that story play out in flash backs of a series that predominantly moves the setting forward, though.

Went and saw Deadpool & Wolverine last night.
It was good - leaned heavily into making fun of Disney, Fox, Marvel Studios and the MCU. Bunch of nice cameos from the early Fox/Marvel movies (as well as the advertised one from the trailers).
I had a cameo spoiled for me by a google headline, but it didn't lead to a place I thought it was going to, so I was OK with that.
Good fun, top drawer action and the usual Deadpool heart string tugging.
Not top tier MCU, but really enjoyed it.

Watched The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare on Amazon Prime last night.
It was OK. It was a very different movie to what I had expected from the trailer. Much lighter on action than the two headline male actors would suggest (they were both great in their roles, though - I do wonder how hard it is for Cavill to use his own British accent in movies, given he so often portrays an American). What action there was, was largely tension free, as well. The Nazis were utterly overwhelmed by the British/Swedish god-men.
It was fine - didn't know it was based on a true story, though. That was cool.

Finished Sword and Brocade. Destined, Chinese Period Drama Tale of the eldest daughter, Yuru, of a cloth merchant who was neglected by her father after he brought in a concubine. She had been waiting six years after a promise of marriage from her childhood beau who had gone to the capital to study and prepare for the exams. The Gu Family, a wealthy family owning many shops is aware that the spendthrift Emperor intends to seize hold of their wealth by matching the young scion of the family to his daughter, hurried to marry him off before they received the imperial edict. Luckily, the cold weather delayed the messenger. They held a party, inviting the maidens of good standing to attend to pick a bride. As it has been six years, with no news from her beau and her mother ignored by the father and ill treated by the concubine, Yuru is forced to make herself noteworthy. To seize this opportunity to marry into a wealthy family so she could help her mother. Rather than present expensive gifts as the other hopefuls, Yuru presented a painting she had painted herself to the Gu matriarch. This caught the matriarch's attention and Yuru was chosen to be the bride. Juisi, the young Gu scion, does not to get married but he had rashly declared aloud as a joke, after accidentally running into Yuru, that she's the only one for him so his parents fully supported the matriarch's choice. When Juisi said he wouldn't get married, his angry father locked him in his room so he wouldn't run away. The royal messenger arrived on the wedding day. Juisi realised if he doesn't marry Yuru, his family will be in deep trouble. Thus start the tremulous relationship between the two. It's pretty funny. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/RebJidSPcxyF0U0Rr0uW.png) After a candid conversation with her mother-in-law and knowing her in-laws fully supported her, Yuru marched to the brothel with the family servants to get Jinxi in order to kick him into shape and make him study. Babylon 5, SF tv series (1993-1997) I'm also watching the reactions of two Star Trek fans who are watching B5 for the past year. Their discussions are interesting. They have just finished the last episode, Sleeping in Light. As per expectations, the two guys shed tears. I also teared up because it's another journey for me through a wonderful tv series and also because most of the cast have passed away. It's always so hard to say goodbye to all the beloved characters who have developed so much through five seasons and looked so utterly different to what they had been in season one. B5 has always been compared to LOTR and it's a fact JMS, the creator, was inspired by Tolkien's famous work. At the end of the journey for both, viewers have a hard time bidding farewell. To date, nothing has dislodged Babylon 5 from the number one spot in my list.

Last night I watched "Failure To Launch" Such a good movie. Terry Bradshaw is hi-larious and has amazing chemistry with Kathy Bates; she's such a good actress. And as much as I don't like Sarah Jessica Parker, she does deliver the best line in the movie: "I teach Special Needs children" ![:lol:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/qUctXNjCPgwPaLsZeKry.png)

Though I didn't like the development and apparent trashing of Miyagi (I'm with Daniel on this one, it's not teh way I remember him)

To date, nothing has dislodged Babylon 5 from the number one spot in my list. Ditto.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Watchable, but nothing more.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. Same
Cobra Kai S6: Entertaining, but getting old.
Rewatched Fallout S1; still excellent.

Finished Destined, Chinese period drama. Also finished Story of Yanxi Palace, CPD. I tend to confuse the plots of the evil consorts with another drama. Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, because both are set in the last golden era of the Qing Dynasty. Both dramas focused on Emperor Qianlong, his relationships with the royal family, his consorts and the palace intrigues. He had four Empress in total. Qianlong in Ruyi's Royal Love is rather thoughtless, careless and unreliable with his relationships with the consorts. Ruyi is the third Empress in this drama and the most notable character. Qianlong in Yanxi Palace did not wish to tie himself to any consort because he knew the pitfalls of giving in to deep feelings so it's a deliberate decision on his part to keep himself a little aloof. Still, he did love the first and fourth Empress in this story. The latter is Yingluo, a palace maid who rose to become Qianlong's last Empress. Of the two dramas, I prefer Yanxi Palace as Yingluo is a gutsy, kind and very intelligent girl. Whatever she does, she gives it her all. Be it serving a noble or scrubbing manure containers. She takes the lessons the first Empress, who's gentle and kind, taught her to heart. Her intention in entering the palace as a maid is to investigate the murder of her sister. Through the trials she faces, seeking wealth and status are not her goals but at the last, she realises if she wants to exact the vengeance she wants, she has to achieve power and status. Yingluo reminds me of a dog rather. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/LGLtCPvIKeQPFXyYM0Ed.png) She gives her faith and loyalty to those who are kind to her. That's not to say she gives it blindly but once someone has her for a friend, that person will have someone who will ardently support them through thick and thin and never gives in to betrayal even when threaten with death. Follow Your Heart, Chinese period drama Story of Prince Xinbai who's on the hunt for a dangerous herbal plant and intends to eliminate it once and for all. He suffers from the face blindness condition and relies on his bodyguard to clue him in to the IDs of the people he meets. Nanxing is a female doctor who is searching for the same herbal plant. She suffers from an odd condition that "transforms" her every month. Opening ep is good. Fight choreography, costumes, sets are good. Edit. Oh this is hilarious. 🤣 Pretty sure there's some magic mumbo jumbo in this to explain her transformations.

I've watched the first four seasons of the X Files. I have seen the first handful of episodes of seasons five and I didn't enjoy them as much. I'll come back to the rest later and see something else first. So I have watched the first movie of Stargate. And I've seen the first couple of episodes of SG1. I've also bought Atlantis and the other two movies. I only have seen a couple of episodes while they were broadcasted. Remember that I quit watching TV somewhere in the 90s and before that I didn't like TV much. I am going to switch back to the X Files soon and hope the other episodes of that season are better. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/KGsHESiZGZU0pPuHuhQr.png)

Watched Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl last night with my mom. It'd been quite a few years since I watched it....I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I'm curious to remember what the other four are like.

Re-watched this movie ![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G2oeHZ88ayM/WsecZNvLb7I/AAAAAAAAD3s/GXPVd5HCoOcor1pk4Nr_t0-SYZi1y4nYACLcBGAs/s1600/Ready-Player-One-En-serio.jpeg) yeah i can say that i really like this movie ![:nod:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/RGy0ZwRwkZjxxJTNdYHM.gif) and guess who the director is ... Steven Spielberg well the picture mentioned him as well so this was to easy. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/zlchsggXyoDFvzTuyVsI.png) Would be cool ![B)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/svRGzLVjsxnVDvfLJOrp.png) though if this was for real.
