The Incredible Dr. Pol (2011)
train wreck
This show is a total train wreck.
The content is virtually the same on every episode. A cow or horse or pig or goat has trouble giving birth. If we can't get the animal out it could die. It its dead already we have to it out or the body will decay and cause an infection for the mother.
Every episode has an euthanasia
Just about every animal has a parasite affecting their health. Theres an explanation of coccidiosis by Dr Pol every other episode destroying the intestinal wall affesting the animal's ability to absorb nutrients.
There's a disclaimer at the beginning of every episode informing the viewer that you are not seeing the full spectrum of veterinary care. That means they are skipping the steps that would help the viewer understand how they arrive at a diagnosis. Mostly Dr Pol's vast experience is the primary diagnostic tool
Based on the show I would consider the son and executive produces,Charles, as oafish. Yet somehow they have him explaining the diagnosis or situation the vets are facing. They try to say that he serves an important function in the practice but he's just a jabroni.
When they show office surgery they don't seem to take proper antiseptic precautions. The disclaimer is supposed to cover that issue.
The office is extremely poorly laid out.
Large animal veterinary services are not for everyone so there is revolving door for the employees and vets.
If you want to learn about veterinarymedical practice watch Heartland Docs or Dr Oakley Yukon Vet or even Secrets of the Zoo - Columbus Ohio edition
Based on this show I would not be taking my dogs to office.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
something familiar
The real stars in this movie are the jets
I liked the movie despite all the huge plot holes, cliched characters, and stealing the plot line from Star Wars-A New Hope
They pay proper homage to the original movie
Incredible action scenes, they are really flying and pulling those Gs. See it on the largest screen you can.
Val Kilmer's probable last movie role was very good.
I"ve seen this movie before on many occasions . Be original but steal from the best
The first 15 minutes seemed familiar. It was "The Right Stuff" condensed into 15 minutes.
It was followed by a few moments from "Eraser" when Arnold lands on top of a car and asks 'where is this' and the kid responds 'earth"
We transition to a bald headed commander ripping Maverick a new one... again, just before sending him off to Top Gun...again...as an instructor.
Maverick meets the new pilots at bar owned by the lady he left behind. Sounds like Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood from "Raiders of the Lost Arc"
The mission should sound familiar. Its the same one from Star Wars-A New Hope" and the "Bridges at To-ko-ri".
"You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station. Only a precise hit will set off a chain reaction." The Death Star blows up
Not sure why they didn't call the mission "Operation Sleepy Weasel" as homage to "Hot Shots"
I did expect Goose's ghost to appear and say 'use the force Rooster, use the force', just before he fights through his inner demons in the middle of the mission. Someone with inner demons should not flying to begin with
Of course there is a scene where Tom Cruise is shown running. And another riding a motorcycle at high speed.
I think i saw Jennifer Connelly's forehead actually move once.
Young Sheldon (2017)
Shirts
In the Big Bang Theory, Sheldon rarely wears anything other t-shirts. In Young Sheldon he wears mostly patterned shirts but they all have collars and with a tie or bowtie.
Young Sheldon also uses brylcreem but the adult version does not
Given his obsessive resistance to change it would be interesting know to exactly what causes him to make such radical transformations.
Even by sitcom standards there is no way the parents ever would hook up. They have nothing in common.
The only normal characters are the grandmother and to a much lesser degree the two other kids.
Red Notice (2021)
Nothing new here but okay
You've seen this movie before. It borrows from so many other heist movies, Ryan Reynolds even whistles the theme for Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Gal Gadot in barefeet with broken glass all around manages to avoid any injury.
A car that starts after 70 years (gas goes bad and it evaporates).
A chase scene reminiscent of Temple of Doom and Crystal Skull at the same time.
Ryan Reynolds gets a not so subtle product placement for his vodka brand.
A joke about how the eggs are a maguffin.
Law & Order: By Perjury (2009)
Acting
What is up with the accent being used by Mercedes Ruehl
