Walking Dead season finale last Sunday here in USA.
Not as bloody as some past, but high drama just the same.

Is this what happens when you put wild animals in a petting zoo?

Domesticated humans gone feral...

I just watched “INTERSTELLAR” and came away quite impressed. A movie you have to pay attention to otherwise you could get lost in the science. Highly emotional Sci-Fi at its best.

The cast and crew have some of the biggest names in Hollywood with acting by Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine was superb to say the least.

If Science Fiction is your forte don’t skip this one.

The writers and the rest at Walking Dead are trying for a highly literate approach to the "what if?" posed by the Zombie and Post-Apocalyptic genres. I think they are succeeding. They have managed to make me sad and mad and ask, "Why?" or "Why now?", to which questions in Real Life, the anwer is only "Why Not?". That is one of the things that Art/Literature is supposed to do: Mirror reality in sometimes disturbing ways. I'm basing this on interivews I've read, the Talking Dead etc. It may not be for everyone but these people are knocking themselves out to produce good entertainment for people to enjoy for no fee. I think that is great.

No spoilers

Felt long at nearly 3 hours.
Good story until the black hole part near the end.
I Found the ending less than satisfying.

Is it me, or has Rick turned into Shane? Long way from farming beans at the prison!

Seems like the cast is top heavy.
If I don't see cast members every week that's TO MANY cast members.
Answer? Feed them to the Zombies!

Ending was strange with return of long lost/unseen character.
Wonder how long he will last,

Found an auto of CS Lewis' Out of the Silent Planet. Reader has strong English accent, perfect for the story.

CS Lewis was best known for Chronicles of Narnia, and a smaller degree The Screwtape Letters.

Over the years, I have read his space trilogy several times: Out of the Silent Planet - Perelandra - That Hideous Strength.

Hope the bad guys don't end up scrapping him off their shoe!
Or
You ask for it now antman. Igor, get the bug spray.
Or
New meaning to 'for Queen and country'.
Or
Hehe, the list goes on.

12 Monkeys finale a few nights ago.
Confusing as ever.
Network showed scenes from next season, so must be renewed.
