just finished last chance u bball edition. what a say way to end it for those kiddos. did a good job kinda summing up what the world had going on at the beginning of the pandemic

There were some continuity things with the order in which things appeared which made me think they got to finish the season. The way they found out was brutal. I mean we all can go back to that time and they had to know that it was coming, even though the timing in which they found out was so bad.  BTW if you didn't know, they didn't play this year at all, so there will be no last chance u basketball season next spring.

This is a cool video up on the ELAC site. BTW the ELAC website is great and they did a fantastic job of incorporating LCU into the site, much better than the three football schools.

Anyone else watched Them on Amazon prime? Has a very lovecraft country feel to it (good old timey 1950s racism paired with a bunch of paranormal activity) but doesn’t have that HBO budget. I’m 3 epis in... will continue to watch, interested to see where they are going with it

just finished watching Them. It was...interesting. My first thoughts was that it was going to be similar to lovecraft country but then it started to feel more like a stephen king novel. It definitely had its terrifying moments. Some of the story lines it built up had abrupt/unsatisfying resolutions. One of the most unsatisfying side plots was Betty. For those of you who have watched it - let me cut you off real quick before you point out that i am complaining about the story line of a white woman in a story about a black family that gets terrorized when they move into an all white neighborhood - but the thing is Betty was like the leading antagonist and they slowly start to add all this depth to her story and its like oh okay well there are a number of ways they could go with this, and then the way Betty's story line is resolved is just like...what?  All in all, would recommend, i suppose.

Goddamnit, Tom.
Can't watch until tomorrow but i'm very excited.
Man Gosling just never really grew a spine.

at least his ears kept growing

overall, i would grade out this season as a C+
really liked post malone, seems like a great dude and i now follow him on IG, also liked erica.  the rest of the cast sucked.
I liked that one black dude with the striking gray eyes.  He seemed like a good person.

I was blown away by Tom and the old lady at the final bonfire/reunion.  I was pretty sure they weren't ever a couple and just faked it to get on TV.  Then BOOM.  They're all about practicality all of a sudden.

Third wheel in Kendal and Alexcys (white people name/shame) relationship was great.  That poor girl flies by the seat of her pants.

Kendal is a GOAT TI character.  Everything he said killed me.  Right up there with Evan and the assly's boyfriend from S2.

I just loved when he'd be doing something obviously horrible, and Mark or Alexcys would call him out on it and he'd get this blank stare and mutter like "that's wassup..."

Yeah, it's decently funny imo. It's one of those shows that you have to power through the first episode because it's all set up and doesn't really seem interesting until the end. Episode 2 introduces my favorite characters and is much closer to what the rest of the series is.

I enjoyed this series. However, if they removed the Rex Plosion character I would enjoy it a great deal more.  That character, and the over the top portrayal of him, is almost too much for me.  Just awful.

How brutal is that last episode and the baseball flashback? Gah, makes me sad just thinking about it.

I generally like that actor but rexplode does feel out of place and is basically just superhero Jay from big mouth.

Godfather of Harlem is solid if you are into that genre.  Good cast too.

I had something come up and had to stop the first ep halfway through. I'm debating going back. I'm not sure I really like shows where every single character is miserable. I've heard great things and may keep going, but can't decide.

It’s kind of cool that Justin Theroux’s uncle wrote the book that the series is based on in 1985 and almost all critics think that the series completely missed the point of the book.
