I binge watched this the other day on hbo go.....holy crap this was a great show. It wasn't action packed, it was story/character driven and they succeeded very well at what they set out to achieve. I hope the next series, if there is one is just as good, if not better than this one. I agree on the finale,

I think that if Cole had died it would have made more sense to me, I really don't think that anybody who takes a knife to the hilt in the gut and lifted up and moved around with the knife still in could survive like he did. I don't know the time frame from the altercation to recovery.

Someone already said this I think here, but this series is ripe for a re-watch... I bet there's a ton of poo you miss on the first go 'round.

 

 

poo like this is why I've been avoiding watching shows that are so highly recommended... once I start, I can't freaking stop watching.

 

I've yet to even start Breaking Bad because I know I'll do the same and it's a hell of a lot more than 8 one hour episodes.

yes rewatching is GOLD. I convinced my girlfriend to finally watch it, only two episodes in and I missed so many things the first time around. This show is so incredibly well written, it's almost like every piece of dialogue contributes to or hints at a larger theme of the show.

Not true.  Without hitting a major blood vessel/artery or major organs (not a ton down there from the front) you have a pretty good chance of survival if someone is there to help you stop the bleeding.

 

Infection, from the intestines, would be your big killer there, but it would take time to set in.

Oh, and BTW, I just finished it as well.

 

Hate to say it, but was hoping that they could injure him and let Rust "interview" him later and nail the other Tuttle if he was in on it.

 

Either way, best TV show I think I have ever watched.

Has there ever been a shorter, yet more compelling TV series you can think of?

 

Best I've seen since "The Sopranos" and "Brotherhood."

 

Anyone here ever watch Brotherhood on Showtime? About the Irish brothers in Providence RI, one's a Irish mob guy and his brother is a city councilman...? Great show and got canned when no one watched it. Was dropped in the middle of a season and left everything hanging.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
