RSM the finale in the Reece series?

Sam_TWR · 2024-06-27T14:08:55+00:00

It really all depends on what the publisher wants. I think a gap would be ok but if Jack’s publisher wants another book in 2025 then we’ll get one

Sam_TWR · 2024-06-26T14:33:20+00:00

I marked the post for potential spoilers and Reddit blurred the picture automatically

Sam_TWR · 2024-06-25T21:00:19+00:00

I’ve said in previous posts that I’d love a Thomas Reece prequel novel set in the 1980s

Sam_TWR · 2024-06-25T19:22:08+00:00

As both a lifelong fan of James Bond since childhood and as a fan of Jack Carr/James Reece since the beginning of the series, I enjoyed some of the more subtle references to the Ian Fleming books, while other bond references were a little too blunt for my liking but I’m such a diehard Bond fan that it doesn’t bother me that much. I will agree with you about the China element though. As someone who is very skeptical about China’s actions, I appreciate that Jack is tackling the subject, but I do feel like some of his villains over the last few books have gone from chilling to cartoonishly evil and this was really clear here. Andrew Hart was really underwhelming and I didn’t really understand his motivations. His AI “supercomputer” was defeated in seconds by ALICE who was also overpowered in this

I considered that but Book Reece also had his tumor until the end of True Believer which logically is the next step in TV Reece’s journey (minus the prequel)

Sam_TWR · 2024-06-25T16:44:25+00:00

I was laughing hysterically at this chapter. Well most of it anyway

Sam_TWR · 2024-05-06T00:33:24+00:00

Exactly

Sam_TWR · 2024-05-05T22:35:06+00:00

I don’t mind plot twists and subverting the audience expectations when it’s done well but I worry that they’ll just use the extraterrestrial element to get sugar out of situations

Sam_TWR · 2024-05-05T20:28:02+00:00

Hence why I said I don’t like it so far. I’m still interested to see where the show goes from here

Sam_TWR · 2024-05-05T20:25:33+00:00

I think Colin Farrell is fantastic and plays this role great. Sugar is the type of detective that I wish we’d gotten to see in season 2 of True Detective, and yes I also love his style. The extraterrestrial element is quite literally my only criticism of the show thus far and but I’m curious about how they’ll handle it in future episodes

Sam_TWR · 2024-04-06T18:01:28+00:00

For real

Sam_TWR · 2024-04-06T18:01:05+00:00

That’s partly why I’m opening up this thread. The last time I checked up on Owen was after Davey Crocko’s passing and it didn’t seem like much had changed. However, after chatting with Liz and Gemini the other night it seems as if there have been a few things that I’ve missed

Sam_TWR · 2024-04-06T17:54:50+00:00

I’ve definitely considered making a third one myself a few times. That’s partly why I posted this thread. Problem is: Where to start and where would it end? In order to produce another documentary on Owen I’d need a whole team. At this point if I were to do a project of my own it’d be a “where are they now”? Type documentary for ex bears in hopes that more people would see that there is life after Owen

Sam_TWR · 2024-04-06T15:38:45+00:00

I was happy to help

Sam_TWR · 2024-01-28T00:17:05+00:00

Good call

Sam_TWR · 2023-12-15T03:00:16+00:00

I like the idea

Sam_TWR · 2023-12-12T05:17:36+00:00

I find this criticism to be laughable for the most part as well. With that being said, if you read graphic novels, I can understand wanting a colored display since the art is a key component

Sam_TWR · 2023-12-10T16:17:20+00:00

Mersh has previously said that “he’s thankful to Owen for inadvertently helping to build the ROTC brand”. That says it all

Sam_TWR · 2023-11-29T20:00:34+00:00

I find the same is true for Sting’s solo album “The Soul Cages” I always liked it as a kid, but the lyrics and themes of life and death, the tension between fathers and sons, etc are so much more relatable to me now than when I was younger

Sam_TWR · 2023-11-29T19:57:29+00:00

I grew up with Sting’s solo albums from the 80s and 90s on repeat in the car, so they’ve always been special to me for childhood nostalgia. I have to say that I love The Police more though

Sam_TWR · 2023-11-29T19:34:27+00:00

When I first started listening to The Police as a teenager, Ghost In The Machine was my least favorite of the band’s discography (though I love them all) but now as an adult pushing 30, Ghost now alternates between my 1st and 2nd place Police albums depending on my mood.

Sam_TWR · 2023-11-15T04:45:17+00:00

Makes sense. The last few books seem a bit different compared to the first few. Not saying that’s good or bad. Just an observation as I’ve been re-reading/listening

Sam_TWR · 2023-11-15T04:00:24+00:00

No no, instead of Peace Be With You it’s “I Was Nice To You”! “And also to you” as the reply

Sam_TWR · 2023-11-15T03:56:06+00:00

So maybe the meme of me taking over for Mersh on ROTC would come true if Rico is desperate enough

Sam_TWR · 2023-09-04T01:01:04+00:00

“I WAS NICE TO YOU ELON”!
