Not Gun Powder.... But Black Powder.... They are NOT the same.....

 

Having some fun watching the Lone Ranger pilot episode from 1949. Why and how he became the "Long Ranger," how he and Tonto hooked up and where Silver came from.

 

Maybe there is hope for us yet. This young lady seems to get it!

I was introduced to several good shows from postings here on the monkey. Jericho, Boondock Saints, The Walking Dead.
I have started watching a new sci-fi series called The 100. I just watched the season 3 finale. This is a really good show.
"When nuclear Armageddon destroys civilization on Earth, the only survivors are those on the 12 international space stations in orbit at the time. Three generations later, the 4,000 survivors living on a space ark of linked stations see their resources dwindle and face draconian measures established to ensure humanity's future. Desperately looking for a solution, the ark's leaders send 100 juvenile prisoners back to the planet to test its habitability. Having always lived in space, the exiles find the planet fascinating and terrifying, but with the fate of the human race in their hands, they must forge a path into the unknown.

Network: The CW"

The writing on this series is excellent. I read a review that compared it to Game of Thrones and rated it higher. The plot twists and "oh s@#t" moments are similar but in the 100 when a major character is killed off it is not for shock effect. It is in line with the story and furthers the plot line. Where GoT has clearly defined good guys and bad guys, ad nauseum in the case of Ramsey Bolton.yeah he's a sadistic monster, we get it. In the 100 it is not so clear cut. The good guys do some really bad things and the bad guys sometimes save the day. The main heroine commits the worst act in the story. You understand why she did it while at the same time you can't believe she did it. It's about survival and the choices you are forced to make to survive.
A good series, I recommend it.

Sounds like a good one to check out..... thanks MM!!

 

Give it a few episodes. It takes a
little while to hit it's stride. Season 2 was my favorite but 3 had a lot of twists and turns. It has been renewed for another season next year. Shold be interesting.
