Rachel had it by a mile....Sam did a good job arguing but it's clear "the editors" shaped "the narrative" in a way to make it appear close. Everyone was 100p sure Rachel won the game when she won F4 immunity,,,,,,Really great and deserving winner though IMO,,,,but it is a tv show,,,,they need to make it compelling with the footage they have "Kyle" is on the record he only voted for Sam bc he knew it was a decidedly unanimous Rachel win and wanted Sam to get the second place money (Its like $100K vs $85K for 2nd vs. 3rd place) sometimes the FTC are legit close (like last season actually, with Charlie and Kenzie) but not the case this time Still really love this season and I think it's the best of the new era. Just not a scintillating finale even if it was reasonably "well done" from a storytelling perspective |

Finished Downton Abbey. My inner 70-year old woman has been sated.
I think I may check out Amazon's Outer Range. I've noticed that it has my love, Imogen Poots, which compels me to watch it. However, I may wait until I have watched The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy before doing so. It is time to tackle them. |

“Outer Range” got canned, I’ll watch season 2 but I wasn’t even aware it had a second season until last week and season one was actually pretty good.
“Dune: Prophecy” also pretty good but I’d get started on “The Penguin” if I was you. It is quality. |

“Silo” is shaping up nicely for the season one closer, so far it is a well made effort but there is far too much dialogue for a show with an average looking “hot” bird as the lead.
Had they cast somebody who was a hot average looking bird they’d have made a better decision. Somebody with bigger boobs. |

I've watched Dune: Prophecy. I found the show somewhat underwhelming.
I think I would have preferred a Bene Gesserit series based on the events that took place in Frank Herbert's final two Dune books, Heretics of Dune, and Chapter House of Dune. However, you'd have to tackle the craziness of Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune, first. I've also re-watched the first part of Yellowstone season 5, and the final episodes. That too was underwhelming and held no surprises. It is time to move on to The Penguin. |

Hell yeah. The Penguin is "top shelf" as you would call it.
I didn't finish Dune Prophecy. Watched 3 or 4 episodes and just.... meh. |

'Top drawer,' old bean, not 'top shelf.'

“Dune: Prophecy” was alright. I liked the atmosphere, the acting was poor though.

I’m watching “The Twilight Zone” season 4.
Also listening to old radio episodes of “Dragnet” at bed time. Glorious. |
