Okay. Like Many, I really liked the show when it first aired in….. and like many TV shows tend to do, it started to get stupid along the way with the Writers trying too hard to squeeze in too many different story plots with the different fairytale characters. My favorite Ones throughout the show were Rumpelstiltskin, Peter Pan, The Wicked Witch, The Evil Queen and her magic Mirror. They held my interest the most to keep watching the show, it was not the actual corny Good Guys the show revolved around. Somewhere along the line, Mirror’s character got a little too downplayed to where he completely disappeared without further storyline. Rumpel had all the answers and though a prisoner at times, he held the power. Peter Pan had an interesting back story being Rumpel’s Dad and we got to see Rumpel be outwitted at times, because “Pan never fails”, until the Writers messed up his story and he became this diminished character in Hades, which was stupid. It would have been interesting if instead they wrote where Pan was The Wicked Witch’s son, because that looked right. Instead we learn the Wicked Witch, Zelena was a bastard child of a love interest gone wrong and cast aside in another dimension, and that she’s the half-sister of the Evil Queen, Regina. Both Zelena & Regina’s characters should have remained as they were throughout the tale on The Dark Side with Rumpel and Pan, but instead this idea of soul-saving & redemption went so overboard that the show got insipid, and I mean boring to the point of multiple endings of the show until it FINALLY ENDED.

One feature I actually liked about the show was the sound of a camera shot, play alongside the case of day. That was classic. It gave this modern show an iconic feel. It started off great, until the storyline got stupid. It became a dumb racial mistress Stereotype that isn’t really true. I don’t blame Black Men for dissing the show and it makes no sense why its Black Writer Shonda Rhimes would wallow in such an insipid storyline. In real life most successful Black Women don’t live that way. Unlike the main character Olivia Pope, many Black females would have kept dating, or continue their marriage with that educated and successful Black Ken doll. They wouldn’t be seeing some spoiled Ivy League White guy and have the relationship escalate socially into a tawdry mess. Most people of color when they date outside of their race for some reason, it’s THEM who break it off with that White person after configuring in their ethnic mind why they don’t want to deal with them and the situation anymore. And sometimes that works out well, other times it develops on the White person’s part into an emotional stalking event. Even I experienced that a couple times and thought, it was easier breaking up with the Black, Hispanic and Asian Dudes. They know when something is over so they don’t grow this weird emotional attachment to you. I’ve heard cases with some Black men complaining about breaking up with “Becky” and the drama behind it. Now “Sisters” aren’t going to waste time, the shit is over and they move on. So ‘Scandal’ was a TV show that didn’t make sense to Black Women that are Conscious. I also didn’t like the depiction of Millie, the First Lady, declining her to a “White Trash” status at times. The show was all over the place with trying to show all facets of the racial disparagement in America that it started to look weird. I mean really…. Were things that odd? There were better personal areas to attack like the hypocrisy of Black people. The only things I appreciated in the show were the strong current event topics, the government cover up stuff, the secret agent activities, the twist plot and impacting monologues. The only character I liked very much throughout the show was the “bad guy” Papa Pope. He was a Strong Black Man who was in charge, clever, stern when he needed to be, and when finally tried by the powers that be, he extricated himself from THEIR control and turned the tables on them. And ofcourse, the only person in my mind that made sense to expose the whole thing in the end at trial WAS HIM. And Oh, the only other character I really liked was Huck. I mean come on, he was a genius. Though he had some issues he was your standard hero, reliable and tough. And lastly, Cyrus. It would have helped if the Writers just wrote his character as a normal guy given his background rather than injecting a weird gay storyline that didn’t fit. Anyway, I liked how he operated in The Oval Office, the difficult decisions he had to make to protect the President, whom he saw like a son, and secure the welfare of the Country. Some elements of the show we could have done without along its run, but it did end in an okay fashion.

 

QUANTICO

This show should have BEEN Cancelled the prior season but it dragged on. The series started off great with all the FBI training stuff, but after their first few cases, things got sketchy. They lost their audience with a boring storyline in the follow up season. Though I tried watching to see where everything would lead, I eventually lost interest in it and clicked off to different channels. What made me come back was when they casted the actor Blair Underwood in it. When the show finally CAME ALIVE to me was in the very last season when someone got the bright idea to write in a new Super Villain, an Irishman named Conor Devlin. Now he was SOMETHING! He was on in the final 5-weeks of the show and I couldn’t wait to see him. He was exactly what the show needed from Season 2, an elusive re-occurring bad guy. I guess it was already too late for the Network to want to renew the show because they ended up killing his character, which I didn’t appreciate. Where could the show have gone had they kept it? Well…… since they already showed the training process, terrorist cases, the agent setup with Alex, who’s the main character of the show, & her being recruited by other secret agents for other cases, why not explore other issues with that kind of life. The show might have stretched on to a Season 6 instead of only 3 Seasons, because it should have been cancelled after the Second Season. There are Agents who turn Rogue for a reason and are living an interesting life, and that story should be told. Also, what about those FBI Agents who abuse their power in pursuit of a so-called criminal? There are stock pile cases of that. And what about real life corruption cases with the Feds? There were so many things they could have done including showing their failure at times. Cases don’t always work out well, and they could have shown another side of Law Enforcement where people, situations, & things could get mis-interpreted and they fuck up their case. That happens A LOT, which is why you only hear and see the successful cases they are proud of. A lot of the training shown is plausible, but certain things wouldn’t work, especially if they’re applying what would usually work with Caucasian Criminals on Ethnic Ones. There are real live cases where that shit don’t work. Ethnics look at things differently. And with the word Ethnic, don’t limit your thinking to just Hispanics, Blacks, Asians & Indians. Include some Jews, Irish, Greeks, Italians & the like where these crime cases are concerned because many of them I’ve viewed, had their Ethnic instinct about something correct, BUT went against it & got caught. One popular mob case was Donnie Brasco, the undercover cop still in hiding today. I’ve had the pleasure of viewing certain broadcasted criminal cases where Ethnics who knew better, “sensed something” followed their instincts and that Fed wasted his time. Now, I could go on & on about what the undercover agents are doing wrong out here. Many of them are bad actors or just too obvious. Then there are those cases where the Federal Agent messes up bad, real life cases the Quantico TV show could have depicted. Sometimes The Feds prosecute & incarcerate their own in high maximum security prisons specially designed to hold them. The Writers of that show should have explored all options moving forward, because I wouldn’t have had a problem writing episodes. Hollywood however, has their little prejudiced clique selection process, so it’s better just keeping your ideas & present them at a time when everything is right. So we went through most of 2019 not missing Quantico, especially with other TV shows on competing Networks having better content.

Ex-VP, Joe Biden’s Mistake Not To Assume Power Then

Song – Rick Derringer ~ ‘Real American’

Seditio Civium Hostium Est Occasio ~||~ Sedition of the Citizens is an Opportunity for the Enemy  (Ferrelux.com Latin Quote)

OMG, why run now? So my criticism goes all the way back to when Barack Obama ran for Presidency in 2010 and chose then Senator, Joe Biden as his Vice President. At the time, my instincts found that choice questionable. I was expecting someone that made more sense, and not Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. And since people were celebrating it as a successful ticket, I kept my fingers crossed and hoped no problem came of it. Race-Readers were seeing Obama’s move in choosing Biden as a cover, since it would calm down racial tensions if they saw a white male there with him. Somewhere in my head I didn’t think he needed him. Now look, about 6-8 years towards the end of the Obama Administration, I’m seeing my suspicions about Biden were right. The time to run for President was right under Barack to win the succession of power. That’s how it’s done. Only somebody better at the time could beat you. When I saw this ridiculous campaign going along to setup Hillary as the 2016 Candidate, THAT was questionable. It wasn’t necessary. She was there before. That was a problem for many Voters. And before you say, the Russians would have made Trump win anyway, entertain this, were they interfering before? When they saw a circus in your politics and thought about it, THAT was an opportunity to fuck with it. Had the system went the way it should, Russian interference wouldn’t have happened. I blame Joe Biden for all that went wrong and still, with our politics now. His excuse at the time was his dead son, personal/familial issues and so on. Hmmm……. In ancient times if you were Caesar, a Greek Ruler, Pharoah, Asian Emperor, or other Leader, and you were dealing with treachery all around you and death of those close to you, you got your act together and fight back and maintain your kingdom. So I’m thinking the real reason here is to separate himself from Obama and his policies, especially when he went a few weeks ago to tell his ‘friend’ publicly to not endorse him so he can win it on his own. I knew this guy was suspect and to this day many people are still absorbing his bullshit. So now, he expects to win against other capable Democrats, and succeed over an already sitting President. Why this puts him where he was before Obama in the wee political past when he lost running on his own. His best chance was a VP ascending to the corporate throne right after Obama like the Republicans did in the past, but that little mistake showed me how dumb Democrats are, because you had the helm and you let feminism and other stupidness get in the way of something practical. That’s why you see the rattiness and teamwork of Republicans winning seats in the Judiciary branch, and the Senate, and watch them recover the House of Representatives again, because they are not playing with ya’ll. YES, there are problems with them ‘handling’ Trump from the get go, BUT they’re in power now. Do you really think they are just going to give that up? All they have to do, is deal with a Motherfucker, and quickly work to re-instate Republican policies and derail/dismantle Democratic values. WHY??? WELL, somebody name Joe Biden could have stopped it, but failed to do a critical move at the time that would have kept all this shit we’re seeing right now at bay. Had Russia seen a normalcy, an interest in pimping a Candidate would not have been there. Now the Ex-Vice President, so-called forerunner, is openly being attacked, disrespected by fellow Democrats and they have a right to. He got in it with Cory Booker and Kamala Harris over the race thing both times in recent debates. Hmmm, is a circus happening again? I don’t blame Trump behaving the way he is. He’s doing the right Republican move. Oh, I’m up here as President of the United States of America. See me make a trip overseas talking to Dignitaries, other World Leaders and so on. Who are you? I’m not worried! He can keep doing that. If you Democrats don’t get it together, you’re gonna lose.

The Cosby Thing…….

FERRELUXLeave a comment

He shouldn’t have done it! I don’t believe every last accusation is true, but there is something to it. The whole thing is odd though. While all this was going on, I held off from formerly posting on this until the
legal process was over & see the aftermath. I had my opinions about the case of course, I felt back then that since they (The Establishment) were holding on to it still, they wanted him done! What happened here (Real Talk), is that Bill Cosby got off his own track. Let’s go way back…….this guy was known in the 60s for his educational lectures on TV, THAT is what I remember him for the most. The information, the teaching is what I feel “THEY” had to get him for. You could smoke screen it with the conspiracy theories thinking he was politically taken out for wanting to own a major TV network, NBC, but really? Okay, if he was just a chuck full of fun with Fat Albert, The Cosby Family, Jello Pudding & stuff, it wouldn’t be a threat “allowing” him to own a network, BUT, if you are spiritually, racially, politically or culturally CONSCIOUS, maybe THAT is the real reason why “THEY” don’t want you shaking up the status quo using “THEIR” global resource. Where Bill Cosby went wrong was allowing himself to be too seduced by the Hollywood lifestyle that it royally messed him up. You can’t be out there with an agenda like that, then fall back & let The System get you. If you look at some of these accusations, you might conclude that it was a saved plot from the beginning. You know, to get this guy later on in his career, they just set up some people along the way & quietly kept the evidence. Well, what about others, especially the non-Black ones who lived the same lifestyle? These accusations only seem to come out at critical times when the actor is about to do something. No real court case involved, no cross-examinations, oh wait, to make it happen legally, they found the one old case file to go back on a legally binding word, unseal it, & use one statement they can twist to mean something. So an entire legal process played a role in Hollywood manipulation, why even the court system can be pimped to serve your purpose. What could his lawyers do? The court won’t take a logical argument. If you say you were raped by Cosby, why go back to him & take his money? Why are people claiming to have seen you with him after that date, hanging out in public, voluntarily going to his home, & you were supposedly his crime victim? Many of these accusations were debunked & the one case which did him in with accuser Andrea Constand was questionable too. If it was an old case many years before & she was paid off with certain info in the case sealed, why re-open it? It was already judged from that time when the case was fresh, but if you want to bury someone, you overlook a person’s civic legal rights in favor of prejudice & hate & make-up something you hope another bigoted party would fall for. AND WAIT FOR IT, since they got him on the charges now, he’s locked away…..end of story, right? Nah! Some new girl has popped up claiming when she was about 15 at the Playboy mansion, she got drunk after playing some pinball game with him there and he took her upstairs and raped her. Well that’s a busy place, what was she doing with a grown ass man like that at the time. The young innocent story makes no sense in a place like that. Why wasn’t she a rape victim before that situation since she seemed so naïve. Shouldn’t she have come out before the initial conviction with all the other women? The argument many of these women make is that he was so powerful at the time that no one would believe them. WOW! But they’ll believe you now? At no time in American history if you were a White female claiming a Black man raped you, your case would not be heard & taken seriously on flimsy evidence. It’s the same racial ugliness happening in Today’s time & I blame any of the so called ‘feminist’ Black females who partook in it for the sake of a pat on the head by Hollywood to help bring down this guy. What I blame him for was straying too far off track from his original purpose.  He clearly wanted to teach his people & there is so much more to say &  doing it on a major basic TV network with the right positive programing would have helped. I guess why THEY need this latest accuser coming out NOW after the fact as their last wild card to bury him, is because Cosby’s lawyers may have found some way to appeal the case in his favor or some other legal maneuvering to get him out. So we have more to see. It shows weakness on THEIR part fucking with him like that because Today’s Millennials don’t KNOW him like that & all they did was re-awaken interest into his past.
