I've found that if the first episode of a show doesn't interest me, it only gets worse from there.

There's been some epic shows that had boring/bad pilots.     The Wire, The Office, Star Trek TNG, Seinfeld, etc.   

That being said, Watchman is not going to be for everyone.    I absolutely love The Leftovers and think it's almost a top 5 show ever but that was definitely not for everyone and I understand why.     So since it's the same guys making this I get it.    All I can say is, with these guys it's usually worth the wait for the story to get fleshed out.

Are you watching Mrs. Fletcher? We've enjoyed watching it so far, and I thought the creator's name looked familiar. It's another story by Tom Perotta, although it's much different than The Leftovers.

It’s not the watchmen. It’s what happens when you let a bunch of shitty GoT’s show runners and executives. The first episode wasn’t even related to the watchmen besides one character.

But it IS the Watchmen. If you could make it past the first episode of any of these shows you've been shitting on in here, you'd see they take time to build a story. Besides, this story set decades after the original graphic novel, and it pulls in a lot of new characters. It's weird, but so was the original story.

I’m gonna let a season get out and then rewatch it as it’s own creation and enjoy it as it is. But it did not conjure anything of the comic books it should have in episode 1.

It takes place 30 years after the comic. It's not supposed to be about those Watchmen ... yet they still managed to nerd serve them and have brought in plenty.

      Some Thoughts on Legette based upon an ex-scout's ranking him WR1 in the draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      No, he has a long way to go to be that--I think he is probably referring to his ceiling--I think Legette has more room to grow from where he is that those more polished WRs.  When you look at his potential, it presents an argument that is not so one sided.  Of those three, only Odunze had a higher RAS score 9.92.  XL had a 9.90.  Malik Nabors had a 9.67.  Harrison Jr.  did not have one.  I am not sure that Legette has not overcome more obstacles to be where he is, and if you consider his adversity, his story might be more incredible, even though he is only a second tier rookie right nowm with Mitchell, Thomas, Pearsall, and maybe McConkey.  I am going from memory-but you have to think of things as a kid-when he was 16, his mother died of breast cancer.  When he entered S Carolina, his father died.  They had some issues and QB problems and the OL was terrible in Columbia---the others you mentioned?  None of that family drama, and they played at Washington, Ohio State, and LSU.  Huge difference.  I am proud of him as a man--when all his chips were on the table--when he had no more chances, he broke through and became a first round draft pick.  A school with a losing record, mediocre QB, and bad OL.  Mentally, he was struggling through the losses of both parents.  Amazing story.  Is he as good as those three who played at top universities?  Not yet.
