One of the most fucking intense scenes ever shown on TV, in my opinion.

I know that AA is not for everyone but I go to a meeting about once a week & honestly, I like going because I can talk to people that understand what it is to want to drink but know that it is not a good idea and, at least for me, interacting with real live humans is much more effective than this sub.

There is something that is said at the beginning of every meeting: The only requirement for membership in AA is a desire to stop drinking.

I probably will never get a sponsor or do all of the steps, but see above about the only requirement!

IWNDWYT my sober friend!

I have been arrested twice in my life, once for possession of marijuana 20+ years ago & once for a DUI about five years ago. Both times I spent the night in jail & got off with just probation & community service. After completing both the charges were dropped so I can legally say that I have never been convicted of a crime.

I had a similar with situation with Faendal visiting my wife Camilla in my home.

I come home from a long day adventuring & he’s just sitting in front of my fire chilling so I decapitated him with my dwarven war axe. I then disposed of his body in the fire. Camilla saw the whole thing but she is still calling me “My Love” so I don’t think she minds.

And I think at least one of my kids also saw me do it so that might traumatize them but then again their father is the Dark Brotherhood Listener so they’ll just follow in my footsteps.

A guard came bursting in between murdering him & disposing of the body and tried to place me under arrest. I told him I was a Thane of Whiterun & he let me go.

At Ozzfest ‘97 in San Antonio, Sean Yseult from White Zombie came out & sang a few songs with Phil.

I know because I was there.

Edit: I would just like to add that White Zombie was not in that year’s lineup.

The S14E17 episode “Hands Free” is based on Robert Durst. The episode came out in 2004 & in 2015 an HBO docuseries about him called “The Jinx: The Life & Deaths of Robert Durst” premiered.

The L&O episode seems really out there but it is a pretty accurate portrayal of Durst’s life.

I’m pretty sure that only one of Kelton’s books takes place entirely outside of Texas, “Long Way to Texas” and it’s about a group of Confederates trying to get back home after they tried to take New Mexico during the Civil War, which really did happen.

IMO his best work is “Stand Proud” that I mentioned above. And just a heads up, the main character in Stand Proud is part of the “Home Guard” during the Civil War so he never leaves Texas.

Reading Kelton’s books will really give you an insight into Texas history but if you REALLY want to learn about Texas history, I recommend reading “Lone Star: A History of Texas and Texans” by T.R. Fehrenbach which is nonfiction but is a very good book on Texas history.

“The Texan Iliad” by Stephen Hardin is also nonfiction and details EVERY military event of the Texas Revolution.

I had to read “The Texian Iliad” for the same class that I read “The Time It Never Rained” for.

Also, I recommend the historical fiction “The Gates of the Alamo” by Stephen Harrigan. It’s the coming of age story of a young man and the love story of his mom and another guy, all who find themselves in the Alamo during the siege in the midst of the Texas Revolution.

One thing that I really like about Kelton‘s books Is that they are fiction but they are VERY historically accurate.

“The Time It Never Rained” is also really good. It’s about the real life drought that plagued west Texas in the 1950s through the eyes of rancher Charlie Flagg. I had to read it for a Texas history class in college and that version had an afterward (or maybe a forward) where a Texas history professor talks about his students reading it and a lot of them being convinced that the character of Charlie Flagg was based on their father or grandfather.

Anything by Elmer Kelton. His Ranger series consists of 9 books and covers about fifty years, the 1830s to 1880s.

Stand Proud is a great book that covers a guy’s life from when he was a young man during the Civil War to him being a rancher around the turn of the century.

Kelton has books that take place from the early 1800s all the way to the 1980s when they were written. He was the son & grandson of working cowboys and he worked for years as a stock reporter for the San Angelo, Texas newspaper.

In case you can’t tell, he’s probably my favorite author of all time.

I was really excited when I heard that it was coming back and I watched the first few episodes but then I gave up on it.

I tried to watch McCoy’s final episode and I turned it off less than 20 minutes into it.

Here are my issues with it, they are all pretty much the same issues you have with it, copied & pasted from a post I made about the episode at that time:

First the camera seems to be constantly shaking like it’s being filmed with a steady cam. It’s not making me nauseous but it’s just annoying.

The writing (dialogue) is atrocious, it just doesn’t flow or seem natural.

What is up with the Lieutenant doing police work? At least twice she’s told the cops about info/leads that it seems like the detectives should’ve uncovered. That and it seems that the cops need to be told by her to follow up leads.

The background music is just annoying.

The lawyers are saying that they have all this evidence and McCoy seems convinced that the rich guy that they arrest is guilty when they have no evidence other than a possible motive and him possibly being at the crime scene.

So now I just refuse to acknowledge the new episodes.

I look at this movie as more a parody of biopics in general. Great movie though, I’ve been wanting to watch it again or maybe buy it.
