Has anyone seen the first episode yet? It's on Hulu and I checked it out with my friends and it was really good. I love time travel movies and shows and this one looks very promising. It's based on the Stephen King novel. He helped write the scripts and JJ Abrams is also attached to this. 

 

Theres a lot of time travel questions I have after watching this but things that can be explained later I guess. It's on Hulu which sucks because they drop new episodes on Mondays instead of giving us the whole season like Netflix. If you have Hulu you should give it a chance. Real high quality show.

Glad to know it's good so far. I bought the book when it came out and got through the first 200 pages or so, really enjoyed it, then just stopped reading. I don't know why. I picked it up a year later and, for some reason, did the same thing. I'm determined to read the whole damn thing before I watch the show, and I'm tempted to watch, so I'm gonna start on the book again soon.

I've put down quite a few of his books at the halfway point.  He is one of my all time favorite authors but he can bore you to death at times.

You might actually have done yourself a favor. It's not a bad ending, but it's fuging painful as hell.

I love the start of that book but the middle- end is dreadfully boring and I've never been able to read it fully, always get about 3/4 done and stop. Only book of his I've started and never finished.

Is there a particular reason why?

edit: that caused it feeling boring to you?

The book has some pacing issues for me, the writing is fine. The beginning of the book still has that problem but King expertly draws you into the story with the way he introduces the characters and setting. Then once back in the past, reset the setting and introduce more characters and surroundings as you go through the book. That's when the book is at it's best focusing on the Character's and the settings involved. It's near the middle where the main character starts to do reconnaissance on Lee Harvey and it really bogs the story down big time for me. It's at that point everything that was building just kind of gets lost in the shuffle so to speak and the surveillance pieces get extremely boring and tedious quickly. Once the story hits that spot the pacing issues really start to show because of what's being read. 

 

I really want to finish it and I might try again someday, but the two times I've tried I basically got stuck in the same spot.

yeah it had a lot more of his 80s style vibe. I can see why people would get a bit bored with the historical stuff unless you are already a history buff and like the alternate "you are there" way of learning what's going on. Need to get Hulu and check this out.

It's worth the watch but save your money and find a free link online.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
