Nothing really different in there, speculation without the Sheridan quotes.

I still think they have a couple hours of 10 years later to serve up in between the two parts of Yellowstone season 5.

Maybe this article will help clear up the apparent planned transition from "1883" to "1932". Including this quote:

"The incredible storytelling and stellar performances behind 1883 have fueled phenomenal new records for Paramount+," Tanya Giles, chief programming officer of ViacomCBS Streaming said in a statement. "We look forward to bringing fans even more of the Duttons' origin story."

I was more disappointed with the deaths of the most interesting characters when I thought there would be a full second season. But now that I know there won't be one, I'm more disappointed in Taylor Sheridan for being so cagey about this just being a limited series. In that context, the highlighting of the tragedies (all the folks who died on the wagon train), of the hopes that continually get dashed (Elsa's head-fake recoveries), the feelings of loneliness and being worn out (Shea), etc., from a story telling perspective, makes more sense.

A shame, I enjoyed 1883 more than Yellowstone, mostly because it was a western type series which I enjoy.

I have no issue with Shea's fate. I think it was pretty obvious all along how he would end up.

Overall a really good show to me. Hopefully a little more still to come.

As the season winds down, I never thought a show could beat Yellowstone, but this is the greatest serial I've ever seen. It tugs at your emotions and the writing is top notch. Especially the diary narration.

So I wrote this before watching the finale and not reading a single post before mine. And I knew it was the probable end for Elsa, but that character brought me to tears 3 times in the series - and then I saw it was a one and done. Breaks my heart to not have a look at the planting of the ranch from the start.

Anyway, the real weight of the finale was Elsa facing death - something I've been terrified of even considering for as long as I can remember and her final scenes brought me face to face with the fact that I am mortal, and will die and am afraid. If that was the effect, it worked in my case because I am shaken by this realization.

And that is why this is the best show I've ever seen.

I watched this when it aired originally and it really got into me. Big time. For one, the transformation of Elsa from a young girl to a woman over the 6 months the story covered was very well done. At the time, I had been and until recently been single and depressed over the lack of love in my life so her emotion-ridden experiences with love lost and found, not just in Sam and Ennis but in the new world around her as she traveled through it really resonated with me.

When Ennis was killed it brought me back to the loss of whom I considered the love of my life at the time, some years prior.
But it was her death that truly possessed me.

Not because she died, which was sad in itself, but the journey, knowing she was dying and being forced to finally accept it, and then the loss of fear just before she passed.
I am terrified of dying. The unknown of what's next - or isn't next - is one thing but it's the process of the last few minutes, seconds, before succumbing to it. The panic one must feel whether conscious or unconsciously is what truly terrifies me.

Elsa's final monologue detailing her revelation of Heaven and the beauty of staring in Death's face hit me with an emotional gut punch.

My girlfriend Denise had never seen any of the Yellowstone shows so we've been binging Yellowstone and after Season 3, we switched to 1883. (1923 will come after Season 4). I warned her this was a very intense show that really got into me and last night we watched the final 3 episodes. Her lingering silence at the end of Ep 10 told me that it had gotten into her, as well, and after reliving it again over the last few days, I am again feeling displaced and emotionally exhausted from it.

As a side note, since some of you brought up Shea's death. He foretold it when he talked about why he was going to the Ocean; so Helen could see it through his eyes and then so he could go see her. When that scene unfolded, I knew how it would end and the glimpse of the gun in his lap confirmed it.

I don't suppose I'll ever watch this series again. The grief and emotional drain I get from it is too much and I fear the third time will be less likely to affect me the way it did originally and again this week, sharing it with Denise.

24 team playoff seems to be real close.

Are we really that far from a 64-team tournament?

The benefit of the 24 team playoff:
  • All the cartel teams that cartels want in playoff are in playoff
    • Independent of record too! Bonus.
  • MONEY!!!!! for the cartels.
  • I'm out of ideas.
Cons
  • Regular season really doesn't matter now other than the rivalry games
    • Top cartel teams can lose three games and still make the playoff
  • Going to start resting players?
    • The playoff is going to be *checks notes* several games!
    • Resting players could make games dumb.
    • Maybe even restrict NIL players from games played.
  • How much are streaming sub costs going up a month to pay for this?!

One of the pro's I see is in a year with so many undefeated teams they have a good chance of an opening. Few years back you had lower divisions that didnt get a shot. I love collage football and I have no problem with that addition.

We are in what week 5 now? Been two real good ranked games to watch.....Other than that top 25 teams are playing nothing.

This will be a SAD DAY when this passes ....

They complained the last year that we had a bunch of Blow Outs in the Playoffs ... heres an idea, lets Double the amount of teams and hope for Closer games ... ya right.

This never should have went past 8 teams, 10 at the most.

Now, I have heard that play in games are being talked about, such as #13 plays #24 and so forth, to cut the field down (why cut it down, just don't expand it.)
I'm not sure exactly how thats going to work out or if it was just someone talking.

They were also talking about starting the Season earlier ...

I really don't like the National Championship game being the end of January ... if the Semi Finals are over New Years, thats fine with the Championship game the next week.

There are 68 Power 4 teams, so eventually they will get there I wouldn't imagine ...

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

It makes sense, however, I would want more types of restraints, so if one doesn't work, the other does ... the restraints coming over the shoulder I would have expected ... with a Seat belt as last resort.

Fwiw, I inquired with what they use on Coasters at Cedar Point, various Coasters, different restraints according to what the car and track requires ...

NONE of the Coasters at CP use THAT particular system :)
I'm glad to see ...

According to the article, when you see a seat belt on a ride like this, it is basically used as a way of making sure the rider isn't too large/fat to safely ride the ride.

Well, the over the shoulder support is better, but would require reconfiguring the cars.
Jimbo
Heres an article from the Akron Beacon ... seeing Six Flags has bought Cedar Point and Kings Island, they are included ...
I said earlier that Cedar Point doesn't use this type of seat restraint ... well, it does use it, But the difference is, the ones up here ALSO have the Over the shoulder restraint as well ... like I was suggesting that they should have used with the Goliath.

One of the new(er) one at Cedar point the Gate Keeper, uses the Clam shell .. I have rode it many times and have Mostly felt secure, that ride will stop you part way on the ride and you just hang, till the ride is ready to continue ... I typically ride the Front Car ... when its getting ready, you ARE hanging, in the car, looking down .... it would require 2 separate restraint systems to unlock at the same time to possibly get out of it.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place. :eek:

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.

I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.

Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

Doing a Google of the HughesNet Email notice, it seems that HughesNet has been trying to eliminate hosting emails since 2019. And with HughesNet filing Chapter 11 back in August, it would be a smart move to switch to a more stable Email provider. Even AT&T farmed out their Email to Yahoo! years ago.

SpaceX's Starlink and the Cellular 5G Home Internet solutions have pretty much relegated HughesNet and its high latency, low bandwidth Internet service to History. If Earth had shorter days, maybe a Geostationary Internet Solution might have stood a fighting chance…

Have you tested using external power? Over the years, have found unpowered polarity switching to be unreliable. Especially problematic when used with DiSEqC motors or switch stacking.

No I have not. I just got it the other day and it is connected to six receivers working just fine. What I do is non power mini multi-switches work best with LNBF's and with LNB's

It also has a IPS and a OPS switch on the side of it with a power led light showing when is on. It seems to be very nice build switch
