The Real Lee Harvey Oswald photo: 11.22.63 Photo: Timeless character quotes page When exactly did the term Mafia get applied to organized crime? This is Us When You Are Old Related Poem Content Details BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. William Yeats HollyHock Bungalows 68 Pine Way, Jodie TX555-0157 From King: The town of Jodie, Texas, in 11/22/63, was named for Jodi Picoult. I added an "e" to make it sound more 60s.

  Episode 3 of 11.22.63 - Other Voices, Other Rooms Sometimes the past doesn't want to be changed! School teacher Jake Epping, (James Franco), travels back in time to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy, thinking that the world would have been a better place had Kennedy not been killed.  However, he finds that easier said than done due to a myriad of obstacles and misfortunes, most notably, the past itself. Jake quickly learns that the past pushes back against being changed. Episode 3 of 11.22.63 - Other Voices, Other Rooms Jake and Bill become "partners" and take a road trip to Dallas.  Jake begins working as a a high school English teacher, while he and Billy begin their surveillance of Lee Harvey Oswald. We're back after an expected hiatus due to travel and health issues (non the least of which were James' cuticles). Jake tells the worst car trip passenger ever about the plot to kill Kennedy and that’s he’s here from the future... The book is pretty messed up, how he reads anything out of it is a mystery. A tighty whitey fight ensues much to Laura's chagrin. DO THEY NOT HAVE MINIBARS IN THE 1960s!? The history of the hotel minibar. The Lincoln/Kennedy Coincidences and Connections  Horrible scars on the kids back, possibly abused. $100 for a ride and not getting shot, woot! (How many pieces of pie could you buy with that?) Daly Plaza seems like deserted ghost town. Is this the least busiest street in America? Why is no one around? Apparently people only come out to watch a President get shot. The great "reset" debate continues Bill and Jake, PARTNERS! Welcome to Jodie, Texas. Catcher in the Rye Mark David Chapman used this book as his "official statement to police" after assassinating John Lennon Bill is super creepy hanging round the school.  Jack Ruby... Laura is using this series to learn about history The Lincoln/Kennedy Coincidences and Connections  And the list Miranda Mentioned on Wikipedia Bill is spilling the beans already after like... a day. Worst. Partner. Ever. First Day of School Mr. Coleslaw? Probably not a good idea to offer a black woman a cup of coffee in pre-civil rights times Texas. Are there rules for going in the closet? The years pass.... In the weird time warp hallway. Hellooooo distraction! The past had something up its sleeve! Jodie High School just happens to have a teacher position open? Not trying to hard past, are you? Fort Worth, Texas Passage of time portrayed well with the car showing an increase in wealth Poe's Story: Cask of Amontillado Oswald finally gets back from Russia. He is very proud about defecting for someone who comes back to Texas. Have they used that string designation for places before? Super racist landlord, this a terrible neighborhood. Super homophobic neighbors. They don’t have minibars, but they have pretty good spy equipment? Is Bill the bad "leaper"? Bill and Jake bug the apartment Bill is still being creepy Spiders in the attic (or was it the crawlspace?) George de Mohrenschildt??? Convenient in for General Walker... Again, seems like this is way too easy so far. The HomoPhobes "ruin" the taps.  Really? Just rewind in on the spools! The past is not trying too hard! Mr. Amberson helps Ms. Mimi. Go Jake! The school dance. Laura and Miranda are apparently predisposed to distrust her due to their shared gender Miss Representation movie General Walker Rally The connection between Oswald and Walker has us all befuddled Oswald really doesn’t like General Walker If Walker is against Kennedy, why would Oswald want to kill Walker and Kennedy? Final Thought: Did Oswald really have a speech impediment / accent? From REDDIT: I did find a bit of broadcast video of Oswald speaking with press that was pub...

Is Anybody Watching 11.22.63 - The Kill Floor Sometimes the past doesn't want to be changed! School teacher Jake Epping, (James Franco), travels back in time to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy, thinking that the world would have been a better place had Kennedy not been killed.  However, he finds that easier said than done due to a myriad of obstacles and misfortunes, most notably, the past itself. Jake quickly learns that the past pushes back against being changed. Episode 2 of 11.22.63 - The Kill Floor Jake's first attempt to change time seems to have been unsuccessful, so he decides there is one thing he can change. He travels to Kentucky to prevent Harry's father, Hank, from brutally killing his family in hopes he can change at least one small part of the future.  He finds out that even small pieces of the past push back against change. Harry the Fairy gets chased down by the town bullies. Apparently this isn't the first time. But why do the townsfolk look at him with shame? Is it fear of Frank? Jake seems to spend a tad too much time looking at the boy in is underwear. The Third Bullet is a book with a similar theme that Jeff tried to Inception into this show :) Is the past still fighting as hard not to be changed? i.e. food poisoning is weak! Thankfully he finds a home with Martha Kent  ...er Lana Lang  .....er Edna Price   Possible Theory: The past fights back according to how much change has been made? Thankfully (or not), the fire didn't destroy everything. Sammy's Townhouse on Dixie Highway is the place to go after work (or to find Frank) Our VERY first Grammar Tangent before we discuss the James Agee reference. If Jake can't kill a cow, will he be able to kill Frank? Apparently the past doesn't really care about cows. Jake's HOJO Prize plan is not very smart. However, the story about where he served in the Korean War was BRILLIANT! Jakey's Big Mistakey Reference There's debauchery here: Ouran Highschool Host Club The gun store scene was hilarious. Gatorade and Quaker Oats Tangent Jake get's to Frank's House and quotes Harry's Story in preparation. Bartender Billy is back and we get his history with Frank. The fight between Jake and Frank is quite intense, and without much interference from the past. Jake wins, but is caught by Bartender Billy with the newspaper clipping of the JFK assassination.

Kennedy, thinking that the world would have been a better place had Kennedy not been killed.  However, he finds that easier said than done due to a myriad of obstacles and misfortunes, most notably, the past itself. Jake quickly learns that the past pushes back against being changed. Episode 1 of 11.22.63 - The Rabbit Hole The premier episode hooked us right in. We are all glad we decided to give this show a watch. We start off discussing the J.J. Abrams connection (Bryan Burke) and other familiar faces.  Kevin J. O'Connor    Chris Cooper Leon Rippey   James Franco Onto our first tangent lamenting the loss of several TV shows cancelled the week of this recording. (Castle being the one Miranda is most upset about) We discuss the merits of Harry's A+ grade on his story, Al and Ziggy's Diner, and the Yellow Card Man's creepy vibe (ala Fringe's observers). Al goes from zero to dead in 2 minutes. Time traveler's rules for success #1 EMPTY YOUR POCKETS and change clothes first!   Rule #2: Test the waters, reset, return making adjustments to the plan. It's an interesting way to "learn" about history racial discrimination gender discrimination politics of the 60's conspiracy theories The past fights back via the phone booth,  the car crash, the restaurant, flirty women, people having sex in restaurants, and burning houses (and kids). Time to go to Kentucky and perhaps right a smaller wrong the past may not care as much about. Enter Josh Duhamel as Frank Dunning  Just a sweet ol' guy trying to take his kids out for some ice cream... With a creepy grin to let us know he's not such a good guy! We Love Feedback!

Is Anybody Watching Into The Badlands: Hand of Five Poisons In a world without guns, fighting is an art! Into The Badlands on AMC stars Daniel Wu as a one of the most lethal Clippers killing for his Baron, and Aramis Knight as a young boy with more power than he may realize. They search for enlightenment in a ruthless and bloody territory controlled by feudal barons. Season One-Episode Five of Into the Badlands: Hand of Five Poisons In the Season One Finale, we are left wanting more. A lot was left open ended! Thankfully we know there is a season 2. The opening sequence shows Sunny on his bike rolling down the road, not the only bookend to the opening scene from episode 1. 3:25 He's off to play "head games" with the River King 2:38 We knew it wouldn't be MK's head in there, it was Bale's. (NOT AN OFFICIAL TANGENT: Batman) 4:30 Penrith's messenger finds the Abbots and they hop in their ol' Ford pickup truck, after grabbing a trunk of course. 5:55 Jade and Lydia have a brief discussion before Jade's plan comes to fruition. Ryder gives Lydia a going away present.  11:15  Jade tells Quinn she needs to tell him something about Ryder. What is it? It must have been about the coup, since he goes to the brothel without any protection except MK. 13:38 Miranda's ready to talk chocolate abs, but is put on hold... 17:34 The actor playing Quinn (Marton Csokas) was in a pic from @IntoTheBadlands that made us realize how good of an actor he is because WE HATE HIM but he's really just a guy. Sunny gets captured and put on display (FOR MIRANDA) He's called to the chapel for a speech from Quinn and subsequently surrounded. Could he not fight his way out? He's fought out of worse situations. 19:40 Vail also was a bit disappointing in this episode.  20:51  Lydia too! What happened to Woman Power? 22:56 It turns out Sunny had his own pendent when Waldo found him.  27:30 Do he and the widow have the "darkness" or the "power"? Why can't they trigger it? Tilda: Which tincture will she choose? Final Fight Scene(s) of the season. Sonny gets his man (and one last tatoo) Was it a deathblow?  Who will be season 2's main baddie? Ryder, River King, someone else? We feel like we missed out on some cool fight scenes. Is Zephyr dead?  What about Jacobee? Ryder scampers away, Monk (aka Abbot) fight scene was the payoff. Back in the box for MK.  A Princess Bride reference: (our first, and only, OFFICIAL tangent) The ending quote and our interpretation... 52:10 Season 2 of Into the Badlands will air in 2017.  We'll definitely be discussing that when it returns. In the meantime, Season 2 of Is Anybody Watching will begin in a couple of weeks.  We will be asking, "Is Anybody Watching 11.22.63" We will be breaking this HULU original series down episode by episode.  So if you have HULU and have watched it, please use the contact links below to give us your thoughts.  If you have HULU and haven't watched it, watch it along with us.  If you don't have HULU, find a good friend willing to share ;) We'd also love to hear your thoughts about Into the Badlands, or suggestions about what we should watch next.

Is Anybody Watching Into The Badlands: Snake Creeps Down In a world without guns, fighting is an art! Into The Badlands on AMC stars Daniel Wu as a one of the most lethal Clippers killing for his Baron, and Aramis Knight as a young boy with more power than he may realize. They search for enlightenment in a ruthless and bloody territory controlled by feudal barons. Season One-Episode Five of Into the Badlands: Snake Creeps Down  So who is the snake?  Quinn? He's definitely a CREEP for the way he blamed Sunny for the death Veil's parents. What's his long term plan? Tangent Number 1: Is it "Bae" or "Bai" and WHY? Opening fight not bloody enough, but  it was a dream, after all. Let's us in on Sunny's Fears Find's a way to use the book and the compass (FINALLY) Laura has a great theory on what Azra may be Lydia's Dad, Penrith, played by Lance Henriksen FTW! Aliens, Millennium, and Pumpkinhead to name only a few of his acting credits. Pinrith and his band of elders know more about Azra and MK's ability than they let Ryder know. BTW, Ryder is still creepier than Quinn. Tangent time: Game of Thrones book, vs. Audiobooks, vs. TV Show MK has a heart to heart with Sunny about his "Dark Side" Tilda saves the day MK still has teflon skin How can the Widow translate the book? What's her Rosetta Stone? Does MK really die a little each time he transforms? What/Who are the Nomads and what's up with the Totem Smashers? Lydia and Jade work the poppy fields together with the Clippers. A brief google search was required to understand poppy harvesting.    Quinn has an episode in front of his people.  Lydia continues to impress us. Jeff was completely oblivious to Jade's plan Our current feelings about Waldo MK now has ablutophobia Sonny's sweet move springs the traps (all but one, apparently) RIP Admiral Ackbar  James has a tender moment, Jeff cancels it out. 47:03 Meanwhile back at the fort... 51:03 Tilda gets "the chair" Is she "faking it" If you're gonna fight, do it in the weapons room       Reminding us of this Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon scene How will season one end? What does next season look like? Quantum Leap makes us leery of crappy endings! Thoughts and theories can be submitted via the feedback links list below the transcript. We Love Feedback!

Is Anybody Watching Into The Badlands: Two Tigers Subdue Dragons In a world without guns, fighting is an art! Into The Badlands on AMC stars Daniel Wu as a one of the most lethal Clippers killing for his Baron, and Aramis Knight as a young boy with more power than he may realize. They search for enlightenment in a ruthless and bloody territory controlled by feudal barons. Season One-Episode Four of Into the Badlands: Two Tigers Subdue Dragons http://www.amc.com/shows/into-the-b... Tangent Numero Uno: Dead Seven on SyFy: Zombies, Cowboys, and Boy Bands...OH MY! Where is all the blood and gore we're used to in the opening sequence? The Widow is on the move. New Show Idea: CSI: Badlands MK is learning how to fight (sort of) Tangent # 2 for those keeping score: Chocolate Abs in High School Love On Jacobee is a no show on making a deal. The Butterfly house is kind of a dump. Zero fun and NO (white girl) dancing for the girls. Thilda was raped by the widow's husband, that's why she had lady clippers 'cause #Ladypower! #SquadGoals We are finally and most definitely for sure that “sisters” are not sister by blood Wedding decoration squabbles There are NO SECRETS in the Badlands Vale is treating Quinn... or killing him... hard to say. MK was about to cut himself to help train but backs off. MK is Pigpen Sunny makes a poor choice cutting MK Yet another Attack on Titan reference; the live action trailer is very Badlands like. Quinn wants Ryder to go out and accept the parlay and set terms. It's a Parlay Party Awkward girl talk between father and son. Pendant shaped hole in the book. Ryder wants to make his own deal with Jacobee Zephyr's #ManPosse and a brief clothing discussion Odd choice for a secret signal?   The River King is looking stylish Should we trust #WheelchairWaldo? Quinn had more than one wife already, but Lydia is the one to be feared. Meeting between Jacobee and Quinn...    about as bloody as can be expected from this show MK Controlled his bloodlust with Thilda. He's been VERY VERY bad in his past. Ryder finds himself with Zephyr and the Widow instead of with Jacobee. Makes a deal with the SHEdevil. River King. Pimp (and Vincent Price Doppleganger?) Yet another tangent; clothing, weapons, the metric system, and the NBA. We Love Feedback!

Is Anybody Watching Into The Badlands: White Stork Spreads Wings In a world without guns, fighting is an art! Into The Badlands on AMC stars Daniel Wu as a one of the most lethal Clippers killing for his Baron, and Aramis Knight as a young boy with more power than he may realize. They search for enlightenment in a ruthless and bloody territory controlled by feudal barons. Season One-Episode Three of Into the Badlands: White Stork Spreads Wings Another incredible opening fight sequence. There's a cool steampunk vibe to the show. The Bowler Hat Guys are like second class clippers. Our first tangent: Meet The Robinsons Bowler Hat Guy  Baron v. Baron. Quinn caught that sword with one hand. It's like 3 Days to Kill. Very convenient migraine timing. MK gets the book but Tilda sees him take it.  Yet, who can read it? Wife v. New Wife. Jade (Sarah Bolger) looks incredibly a lot like Natalie Dormer.   Ryder is more gross than ever, cue Sunny's lady, Veil.  #BestWheelchairFightEver    Our first thoughts about the mention of a Dollhouse were slightly different, yet eerily the same.  Angelica is not your average strung out prostitute,   Tilda sucker punches MK, but still no blood. #bloodwatch2016  Sunny goes to get a "stitchjob" from the Cog Doctor and Lydia gets angry with Ryder's stupidity, disowns him.  #tughtlove Alas, no baron for Ryder. We find out what happened to Ryder's toes, the nomads took 'em. Jacobee's regent, Zephyr apparently had some previous relationship with Sunny.  Widow knows her book is missing, MK has it. But it doesn't matter, since only Veil can read?  Quinn shows up at the right place, wrong time…as usual to give his THANKS...."You saved my son, now save me."  WE LOVE FEEDBACK!

Is Anybody Watching Into The Badlands: Fist Like a Bullet In a world without guns, fighting is an art! Into The Badlands on AMC stars Daniel Wu as a one of the most lethal Clippers killing for his Baron, and Aramis Knight as a young boy with more power than he may realize. They search for enlightenment in a ruthless and bloody territory controlled by feudal barons. Season One-Episode Two of Into the Badlands: Fist Like a Bullet  (AKA Girl Power) Mad Props to the creator of the Opening Sequence  Music by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. Several GREAT fight scenes in this episode, starting off with the nightclub fight. Once again, this show gives us great fight choreography and beautiful cinematography. Don't mess with a girl wearing stiletto heels. Need Proof? Check out the One Minute, 52 Second mark of video below Questions to ponder (aka give us your feedback) Why are there no guns? Are the girls biological sisters, or just a sisterhood of clippers? Where are the bows and arrows?  Is there a code that is codier than the samurai code? #morecodierthanthat  According to James, Corey Feldman should have been named Cody Feldman  #obligatorytangent  Is the symbol a women only secret?    How does The Widow know about MK’s ability? What’s in the book?  Suggestions for shows to podcast about. Minerva is no "Mother" of the Year but Matilda has us all impressed.  Someone has a crush on Veil.   Ryder’s foot made our toes curl…  #feetaregross #ihatefeet   Sunny draws a line in the sand with Quinn We debate the hows, whys, and what ifs, of Sunny killing (or not killing) Quinn. Who’s Waldo? (Stephen Lang from Avatar and Terra Nova)  Sunny and Quinn leaving the fort is very reminiscent of The Emerald City (Oz) Tilda tries (and fails) to save MK. Does MK have super skin? Quinn’s backstory: Apparently a baron can be from any walk of life. The Widow’s Trap was great, but the fight scene was better!  Back on track: MK was pretty quick to accept “the deal" (Bite off your legs monty python reference)   WE LOVE FEEDBACK!

What do each of the Barons bring to the table? Is oil necessary for Opium production? The significance of the necklace? Azra’s connection to Sonny and MK ? Sonny, Lydia, and Quinn, OH MY!
