Re; Vietnam War

Check out the documentary "Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam" and there was a PBS series that I watched in the '80's called "The 10,000 Day War".

Thx man. I saw most of the 10,000 Day war one but will check out the other one you recommended.

I saw it in the theatres in the late '80's, I think. I had no idea it was a documentary and was blown away. There were two young ladies behind who were just holding on to each other and balling at the end. Powerful movie.

I've been feeling bad for you this summer. We drove Hwy 97 last summer coming home from Terrace and loved every second of the drive. Our hearts go out to all of the kind folk affected by these wildfires. Donating everytime we go shopping.

The show I really dig is Vikings. New season begins 17/11/29 .

I think the first few seasons are on Netflix.

- golfingsince

What is the appeal with this show? I tried watching it and fell asleep halfway through the first episode of season 1. It just didn't have that wow factor. Maybe I was expecting too much since I had just blazed through GOT and everyone kept saying Vikings is as good.
Does this get better then the first episode or is that what I should expect all throughout? is it a slow burner?

That's a lot of print for a 4th round pick

I hope if/when he does make it it's because of his vastly improved play not because it speaks volumes of how crappy our D is.

It gets much better. Ragnar Lothbrok is an excellent character.

Many shows take awhile to get going. I don't know too many that would say the first episode of Breaking Bad was riveting TV.

didn't watch breaking bad either...I will give it another shot. maybe till the end of first season. A slightly different show that is also great is Billions. Paul Giamati and Damian Lewis is epic.

It's OK. It gets better after a few episodes. It's decent entertainment but not the best production.

Thanks, i'll give Billions a shot this fall. I think you'll like Vikings if you give it an extended look. Ragnar's sons are quite famous in Norse history.

I enjoy it....I'm just saying it's lacking in a few areas. Didn't realize it was a Canadian production

Yeah Irish too. I figure that's why it's lacking in a few areas.

I also don't understand why they made Rollo Ragnar's brother ? I guess history doesn't really know his origins and they just wanted to include him in the show. I think the show has exceeded expectations with it's success.

The Canucks are arguably the best franchise in pro sports with no real weaknesses so why would anyone criticize them
