    That's where that Univision series really kicks in. They go in-depth with the whole media/newspaper issue, etc, how the cartel dealt with it, everything.

      Has anyone else been watching the Ken Burns documentary on the Vietnam War? It's just really good.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        I thought the episode that was all about Ted's life was pretty cool. The experiments with the Beta Testing of MK-Ultra were rather eye opening.
        Compelling that it showed just what effed him up so, but in general, I was just kinda bored by it. The episode showing his life in Montana was better, but still, nothing was as interesting to me as the investigative aspects of the case. I liked the mystery aspect, the hunt. Once that was done, the rest was just filling time.
        What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

                The final episodes of Baseball and New York were crap. But yes, most of the time he's terrific.

                  The final inning of Baseball was perfectly fine. The pieces about steroids and Domincan players were particularly good.

                  Vietnam is also good thus far.

                    Rally looking forward to seeing this. Wondering also if it corroborates any of the points Rob't McNamara raised in his two books about the war, which I expected to be pure apologist bullshat but which were pretty interesting.

                      begins a brutal and sobering opening to The Vietnam War. The first nine minutes were a warning to the viewer about what was to come. As someone far too young to even have a father who fought in the war, this is going to an experience.

                        A guy had a great line in tonight's episode. "It's very hard to dispel ignorance if you retain arrogance."
                        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                          IMO, it was one of the first, if NOT the first time US forces faced very odd strategies. Saw a special on the History Channel a couple years ago about "The Art Of War" by Sun Tzu, and the Vietnam War was one of the wars they highlighted. Cited some specific examples where the US was simply out-smarted. We were used to just facing off and let's rumble, bruh (in general). Whoops.

                            So this happened today:

                            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIY6zFL95hE&t=0s

                            Defenders was basically a pile of crap, but I'm dumb enough to hold out hope. I'm hoping that Punisher can live out on it's own tangent. Frank Castle, even in mainline Marvel comics, is a character who does his own thing and really only shows up elsewhere on few occasions. I'm hoping NETFLIX can do that here. I really like the conspiracy angle they're playing. Take Frank's story out of NYC/Hell's Kitchen and let him do his own thing.

                              The Defenders, as in the Netflix series? I thought it was good enough to watch the whole way through. Nothing outstanding, but worth my while. I won't watch any of the indie series involving them except Jessica (although thought about Luke Cage). Note: had watched Jessica S1 before The Defenders.

                                And yet 3 episodes in there's already talk about how "Anti-American" it is.
