The Terminal List is a streaming series on Amazon Prime. I am happy to report that Prime has finally upgraded its offerings big time.
Lots more movies, not just B grade re treads, and some great series like this and Reacher.
The topic for this post is Terminal List starring Chris Pratt who is also a producer. It is classic Saturday morning movie serial
stuff done very well. I just watched episode six and here are a few thoughts. Oh the series is about a Navy Seal Lt Commander who has lost his entire
squad and then wife and daughter, okay spoiler alert you can see where the title originates.
My thoughts on this episode
Just watched episode six of the eight part series terminal list. Like Reacher there are more books, two in fact rather than 27 but
I guess if one watches enough movies you see the same thing again
We have all witnessed the scene where the hero is in a totally impossible situration, there is no way out, but he manages to get out
well in episode six and I am not spoiling here it struck me we have a combination of scenes from
High Sierra with Humphrey Bogart
Lonely are the Brave - Kirk Douglas
Butch Cassidy - Newman and Redford, the clift scene
Rambo - Stallone in front of the cave
Aliens - Sig Weaver and Michael Bien - aliens are on top of us but we can't see them
and boy does episode wrap all of these into one
Wow
like Reacher this entire series is worth watching again
In the 1920s magazines like Colliers would serialize a novel encouraging subscribers to keep on buying to read the next
installment of the novel
all these channels are repeating that and the classic Sat Morning Serial that used to run a movie theaters
goes around, comes around
