Review of The Son,Second Show

[tbradsim1]

Too much time in the Bedroom and not enough Cowboys and Indians. :mrgreen:

Brad, I couldn't agree more. The second episode had promise with the scalping scene, but went downhill fast. If episode three isn't better and I'm talking all around, there will be no episode four for me. Two was just a jumble of nonsense.

I haven't seen the show but I assume you're complaining there was too much sex in the episode and not enough action? I hate that when there is too much sex! :mrgreen:

 

[ashdigger]

Toob, it wasn't the sex scene it was the stupid talking without the 70's porn music.

... as in, wake me up when the shooting starts.

Yeah, it was an up and down episode. The scalping scene was amazing but it wandered far and wide when Eli went off to smoke opium, get his ashes hauled and question his youth. (And who was the older female lover? She spoke accented English so is there any chance she was was his young Comanche lover?)
But, things definitely got back on track when when Eli's son, Pete, cracked up and drove off to retrieve the body he'd buried in the pasture. Pete has a conscience, a soul and wants to do the right thing in spite of his legendary, overbearing father.
I'm staying with it but I'm a sucker for these sprawling Texas epics. I've read "Giant" twice and watched the movies ten times or better. These stories where men and women put their stamp on the land and then carried it forward through multiple generations always have my full attention.

I'm caught up, just finished the 2nd show. I like that episode, the Indian back-story and future day is interesting. I gather the two older indians that were smoking pipes outside Eli's house, at his birthday party were from that original tribe?

That is why I don't watch these series, Im a zombie freak so I had to watch the first Walking dead, hooked for years then they show up in this "Town" and shit gets normal,Rick is talking about his feelings, I realize Im watching a soap Opera, Im done, stopped watching, there's always something on the Game Show Network
....forgot to mention I think Peirce Bronson is a twit
