Less a review than curious about some odd similarities. Night riders in the 1880's were in the Klan and terrorized ex-slaves and those who even slightly aided them. They also attacked catholics and immigrants. The bad guy was based on a real man but the heroes are not. These heroes ride at night, wear white outfits, with capes, and hat masks. They steal from the bad guys and give money to poor white people. Admittedly they don't have points on the hat masks but that is a weird coincidence. Especially because this stuff was well-known in the 30's , they were at their largest and most powerful in 1928.

Sarin gas is the deadliest weapon?
22 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
First, the prepper who sold them the weapon had to be the most gullible fool to ever amass a cache of weapons. The reason you are a prepper is usually paranoia, he was naive and totally unprepared.
Then i think we heard that Sarin was "the deadliest weapon known to man " at least 5 times, yet the FBI didn't distribute safety gear to the squad they sent to find it?
Finally, Maggie is trapped in the lab, when the gas is falling to the floor but she doesn't try to escape until it's too late. Then she is panicking, breathing hard as she waits for Omar to shoot at the obviously impact glass, make a phone call to get instructions on the injections that were so critical, but not so critical as to tell him how to use it, then use something that was always there to finally smash open the window. Has to be 5 to 10 minutes. He drags her out to the help that was 25 minutes away. Both live.
Either Sarin isn't that dangerous, or the FBI has magical protection. I can suspend my doubts at certain things, like the fact that 4 people in the FBI seemingly do 90% of all the work but this stuff is over the top. If it is totally unbelievable it isn't a good script. Like the show, just not this episode.

The Tree of Life
(2011)
Can't believe i didn't fall asleep.

I watched the whole movie, it does the one thing i hate in a movie...it doesn't end. I kept waiting for something, anything, to happen and it never quite does. It is like a depressed teenager wrote it, full of angst and staring with beautiful scenery and plenty of opportunities for absent dad and disinterested mom to really interact with their children but they really don't. And the finale is people walking in unison to nowhere, a waste of good actors.
Inhumans
(2017)
Confused by the "slaves?", not sure the good guys are so great. Spoiler, if you never saw anything about them.

Never saw the comic but the kingdom of the moon is creepy. I'm not sure if this is the whole background but basically when you come of age they have a process that mutates you into something else. Some become Inhumans with powers, these people get to lie around in roomy luxury apartments with servants and seemingly little to do. If you become human or a wimpy useless mutant you "voluntarily?" go down in some mines and dig by hand or I guess just become servants? Somewhere during the first episode the "villan" freed these people from servitude. So the bad guy freed the slaves and I'm supposed to care about the royal family that decided who was a slave and who wasn't? I don't get it.
