****. How did I forget 40 degree day? I still use that phrase all the time.

That is above the nail gun.

Damn, so many amazing moments in this show.

Honorable mention to Omar in court.

- Bosch was excellent, as always. Really looking forward to the unfortunately final season.

- Waco (recently added to Netflix) was EXTREMELY underwhelming. Great performances from Michael Shannon, John Leguizamo, and Tim Riggins, who is an excellent and underrated actor whose career has never fully recovered from his disastrous 2012, all of which were wasted as it was neither enticing or interesting and barely scratched the surface on what it could have been. Goes overboard on painting the FBI and ATF as complete ****-ups while the Branch Davidians were just an odd but generally harmless bunch with an imperfect, but charismatic leader who did some questionable things. Yes the FBI and ATF royally **** things up, but Koresch was a **** kiddie diddlin polygamist with multiple underage wives that he fathered children with.

I read a book from one of the top FBI negotiators during the incident and he basically threw his own team under the bus. So may be accurate

Oh they definitely **** stuff up to the nth degree and based on how the situation was presented in the show the opportunity to get everyone out alive was a couple days away. My issue is the presentation of Koresch as a sympathetic figure.

Parks and Rec is going to air a new special episode April 30th in NBC. You're all welcome for the info.

Gotcha. Yeah he was a loony.

My brother lives in Waco and I've wanted to drive by when I've visited. The compound is about 40 minutes outside of the city though, so never made the trek. Funny thing is, my brother had no clue who David Koresch was until I told him. He was 7 when the event occurred.

[dodint]

I wonder what that will be like. A run time entirely filled with non-substantive fan service? Hmmmmm.

[NTP66]

There it is!

I just saw the Innocence Project has a show debuting on Netflix on the 15th called The Innocence Files where they'll be discussing some of the people they're freed and the injustices of the system. Really look forward to this series.

What did you think? Just starting it now.

Tangential, I know you volunteer with the pet shelter. But the PA Innocence Project lists photographers specifically as a volunteer speciality in need:

As a law firm with a very small staff and office, we do not have the ability to take on large numbers of volunteers in our office. If you have particular skills, such as photography, web design, communications experience, or other expertise, please email our office at innocenceprojectpa@temple.edu.

The first 3 episodes were fantastic. It seems to lose a bit of steam after that but is still interesting and eye-opening. I think through episode 6 right now. Not sure how many there are altogether and I'm too lazy to look.

And thanks for letting me know about that. I'm going to email them right now. I'd do anything I can to help out the Innocence Project.

God I hope so. Reunions should be all about fan service.

Yeah, my presumption was pretty loaded. What else are they going to do, right?

Cool. Would be interested to hear how that works out.

Since you said you were about to do episode 7, I offer this:

I might 'attend' that.

They could do what Friends is doing and hype the **** out of a reunion show that’s just a glorified group interview.

[AuthorTony]

Very cool. I'll check that out. And I sent them an email. Will let you know if/when I hear anything. Thanks for that!
