    Just fished #6, his large nose is very distracting as his Dr friend's oval face.

    What a waste.


    OUT

    What do you think about the guys playing the SF guys? Don't seem like your usual action movie extras.

    Anyone else think Cathy is a little chunky?

    This was made by Paramount, just like Yellowstone.
    Also, wasn't Cathy an eye surgeon in the original series?

    Only finished 6 episodes.

    Yeah there were some irregularities (. His chopper went down in the med, not out in a field somewhere. 2. Cathy is a brunette eye surgeon, not a blonde working in infectious diseases. 3. Jack never worked on Wall Street, and Cathy wasn't the daughter of the investor. 4) He is Marine LT, so he should know how to handle a gun). Didn't get time line till he met his future wife. So it is before Red October in a modern time.

    Saw plenty of subtle PC'ism but not enough to turn off.

    Show could be called "Tom Clancy's James Greer" as he appears to be the star after 6 episodes.

    I seem to recall “Garth” explaining how to operate a SiG P228 (or whatever) to Ryan in episode 2 or 3 and Ryan takes it, chambers a round, performs a chamber check, and then decocks it and “Garth” - somewhat flabbergasted - just responds by saying, “Yeah, like that.”

    So at least as of episode 2/3, Jack seems to know his way around a SiG.

    Yup, episode two. He actually hit the mag first to make sure it was seated too. Not bad. The worst parts of these things, to include 13 Hours, is always the super special guys like CAG, SAD, etc.

    Tonight I watched the first episode, and didn't like that they had him riding a pedal bike to work. It didn't fit the Ryan of the books for me.

    I got about 10 minutes or so into the second one, which is when I find out in this abortion they made Greer a muslim. That was enough for me to turn it off.

    Did you watch the whole conversation or did you just turn it off as soon as that came out?

    Done..

    On the Greer Muslim thing, in the end I see it as that big of a thing.

    I won't speak in specifics, but more in general- but still spoiler alerts.

    Ryan reveals a bit more about what some might consider his "Boy Scout" tendencies and steps-up.

    Ends well, sets up well for next season. I think I saw that it was 73% or RT, and I'd agree. No Homeland, better than almost all the Strike Back.

    I thought the first few episodes were good on how Ryan got into the action. The reluctant hero or last resort in the right place at the worst of times. The end was a bit more forced, but still good.

    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    I watched long enough to hear Greer say he only converted to marry his soon to be ex wife. But it was a bit too much of the PC world. Besides we are still suffering in real life from a Muslim that used to head the CIA

    I’d concur as entertaining as Homeland for me. Garth may be Clark, he said he gives a different name every op. The Dr, her face has a Reubenesqe beauty about her maybe.
