Originally posted by SJHovey View PostPSU, as horrible as that was, was simply a case of employing a pedophile as a coach, and employing a head coach who was willing to cover up that fact. Sandusky could just as easily been diddling boys at the local gas station as a locker room. Other than their employment at PSU, there is no connection to the football program. Sandusky didn't rape little boys to advance the chances of the PSU football team.

Re: TV: There She Is, The Old Radiation King
Finished up ST2 tonight. Really, really liked it. My only qualm isn't even the clunker episode, which wasn't as much of a clunker as the reviews led me to believe.
It's MadMax's step brother. They must be setting him up for next season, but there was literally no point to his character this year. He didn't advance the plot at all, and had no character development whatsoever.
Overall, if Season One was an A+, this was an A-. More polished in some respects, but not as tightly put together and with enough minor quibbles to keep it from matching season one's near perfection.Last edited by unofan; 11-01-2017, 09:03 PM.

Re: TV: There She Is, The Old Radiation King
Since we're all updating on ST2, I'm through episode 4 and still really loving it. I guess it can never be quite as good as season 1, but still up there. My only regret is I know there's only 4 more episodes left.

I am finishing episode 9 now...if the rest of the episodes had been like 8 and 9 this season would have been an A just like season 1. Since it hasnt been like that I have it solidly in the B range. Still very enjoyable but extremely up and down. Episodes 1 and 2 are fun, 3-6 are pretty meh, 7 I enjoyed and 8-9 are killing it. Problem is they killed off the wrong new character and left the most worthless and annoying one around. (I wont spoil it)
I liken it to Mr. Robot S2 where the first half is just slow and plodding but once they get beyond the lame and boring it gets good fast."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Re: TV: There She Is, The Old Radiation King
Ok episode 9 was awesome! Perfect end to the season and literally the end of the episode (the last 10 minutes or so) was all the charm of the first season that was missing in the second. The kids are the heart of the show.
I just wish a certain character hadnt been "Gale Bedekered". :/
uno,
The character you mentioned was just awful and served no purpose. He should have died...
Mad Max was a new character I both liked and hated at the same time. Something about her seemed forced but she was also kind of cool in the end.Last edited by Handyman; 11-02-2017, 01:07 AM."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Re: TV: There She Is, The Old Radiation King
Originally posted by Slap Shot View PostUm that's exactly what happened at PSU. Had they not covered up Paterno covering it up they would have lost their King.
In all of the scandals referenced (Minnesota, PSU, UNC, SMU, current basketball scandal) there is always some sort of institutional cover-up, whether it's by the head coach or the AD or someone. That cover-up is done in a misguided attempt to protect the school or that particular athletic program. The school and the people covering it up should be punished by the NCAA for that.
My point was that with respect to additional punishment for the underlying offense, part of the analysis has to be whether the underlying offense was used to try to gain an advantage, or was it just something completely unrelated to the program. In the Minnesota and UNC cases the underlying offense was used to keep basketball players eligible to help the program. At SMU and in the current college basketball scandal, the underlying offense is the payment of money to attract star athletes to your program.
In all of those, the underlying offense was committed by coaches or boosters or some combo of the two to benefit the program.
At PSU, the underlying offense was the rape of children. Obviously that has to be punished severely by society through our criminal justice system, but I'm not sure that it calls for the dissolving or eradication of the football program as suggested by others. If Minnesota football players raped a girl, they need to be prosecuted, and they need to be kicked out of school. But I don't think the program itself should be suspended for that underlying offense.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.

Let me put it to you this way to see if you can get more on board with the belief PSU deserved penalties.
If Paterno found out x years after the fact that Sandusky was a pederast and immediately sought to either have him prosecuted or at least exited from the program then PSU should come out unscathed. But that's not what happened.
