sticked to it

The end of the show Weeds is worth watching the entire series for.. Or is it.. Truth is the entire series is good, I would say a rating of four stars is very deserving.. Some episodes get five others might be three and even two stars but isn't that the way it is.. The final two episodes were seven years in the future, and by then marijuana is legal nation wide, and so the cash cow that was the family business before was now a legal cash cow.. All the family is in the business except Shane, he stayed in law enforcement and hated his choice.. When Nancy gets approached by her lawyer with an offer from Starbucks to buy the family business she turns it down, but as the final act of humanity, she sells.. the entire family will retire millionaires multiple time over..   Was it really that good of a show?? It was worth watching.. I think I started watching in January somewhere and ended Tuesday night with a double double (two early and two late night episodes)..  I don't usually do binge watching, but when a series is about to end I will watch the final two or three episodes usually because they bring it all to an end like that.. Which was better in the drug stories, Breaking Bad or Weeds??  Breaking bad was a completely different show than Weeds and a completely different show, where Breaking Bad was more drama, and an hour long per episode, Weeds was a dark humour show and half an hour.. I enjoyed both equally, but liked Breaking Bad more.. 

Walking Dead:  I'm watching this series again, the latest episodes that everyone else is watching, I am two behind right now.. They are in Alexandria right now.. Being paranoid because it wasn't that long ago they were in terminous, (spoiler alert) where they were much welcomed as .. the main course for the celebration ... Yum..  So understood that they are a little nervous about their new hosts..

Here's something about the zombies.. They are walking dead and not very fast, are malnourished, and seem to be extremely week, how are they able to eat the brains??  The cranium is really hard to cut through, how can zombies cut through the cranium bones??  They are week and for the most part seems like getting through that thick of bone would be next to impossible.. I'm over thinking it I guess..

Fringe continues as I am watching the show to it's conclusion unlike the time it was on.. There are episodes I remember and others I don't..  One of the more interesting shows, however I did get the reason I stopped watching it originally..

I came across this thing here : http://www.kissasylum.com/news/  As they are reviewing the album Destroyer, which they are saying some of it just sounds silly.. They talked about Bob Ezrin as the producer of the album and that he would work on the Pink Floyd classic album The Wall.. They talk about it as if he was the most important cog in that machine building that album. Bob Ezrin was brought in to settle disputes between Dave and Roger, more than anything else otherwise the album might still be being made.. They were self producing their albums from Dark Side Of The Moon through Animals.. But the Wall was a massive project that by  the time they called Mr. Ezrin in was hung up on several songs and was well over three sides in length.. He was brought in to shape the project and set on the two egos going off in all directions.. It was after all The wall, and not everything to everyone.. Great concept that needed to be focused on the narrative and less on fifty ideas.. Bob did his job and got the album in over budget but done just the same.. The album Destroyer by KISS was done in '76 and would be the follow up to a live album that was still finding the charts to be a very friendly place.. To me, the entire album was something better at least audio wise it was a grand departure from the first three studio albums, although Dressed To Kill is still my favorite of the first three, and Rock and Roll over is my favorite from the second three studio efforts..
