Roadkill Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 2 minutes ago, Weary&Disgusted said: When an audience starts watching a show like x files or lost, there is the unspoken expectation that at least some of the plot threads will be tied up in a satisfying way. Lost built up a massive collection of mysteries, and then utterly failed to resolve them before the end of the series, showing utter contempt for the investment of time and energy and attention the loyal viewers had put in. Oh, I know - I'm the one that triggered @Eric Cuntman's PTSD flashbacks of the show by mentioning the shit ending. I'm just hoping he's not having nightmares about golden glowy caves and inexplicably working, thirty-year-old, derelict VW camper vans.

Like The Wire - an absolutely overrated piece of boring fucking shite, or Mad Men. The Wire is massively shit. I read all the hype and thought I'd give it a go. Cack. You're better off watching Boyz n the Hood or New Jack City again. 33 minutes ago, Roadkill said: That genuinely hurt you didn't it? A bit.

Fucking hell, Firefly was cancelled when the only other sci-fi show of any quality was Star Trek Voyager (the shittest of all the old Trek series, still better than the new shite). It did pave the way for the Battlestar Galactica remake, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ending was a bit shite however but Edward James Olmos was a cut above the woke bollocks of Star Trek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best example of this shit is 'Black Panther' being the only Marvel film to win an Oscar, despite being the shittiest film they've made. They daren't have given it to 'Thor Ragnarok'...

For Lawrence of Arabia he lost out to Gregory Peck who won it for To Kill a Mockingbird, a decision which personally I don't agree with but was plausible. Word has it, he had a habit pissing off producers with his drinking antics. Richard Burton was the same who got nominated 7 times but never won.

Worse than that last shit scene in the Sopranos. The only twin peaks I'll be looking at from now are the silicone ones on a smoking hot pole dancing gym fit porn star. Poof.

He hates Jews.....according to those nice chaps in the all inclusive Labour Party...I remember him at the big rallies in the 80’s surrounded by his own security of leftie bootboys. Whilst I have never doubted his sincerity , he is an operator in a big organisation, a “bigger picture” man. He is an accepter of collateral damage. His intellectual conceit..his arrogance which is hallmarked by his uncrushable self belief and self righteousness are the telltale signs......and look like they’ll lead to his undoing.

Never liked him, or Oliver Reed. Loudmouth drunken cunts that fancied themselves as hard cunts when they'd topped up their beer muscles. A great pity that there's no footage of Oliver Reed getting knocked on his arse by Henry Cooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more to it than that, but I've moved onto Sammy Davis Jr Mr Show Business. (or was that Liberace?) We all know Ethel Merman was Mrs Show Business she couldn't stop singing about it.

Did this phenomenon of the Loose Ends start with the Dallas Bobby in the Shower scene: the entire last season where I died was "just a dream"?
