I will not watch this. I hate all of these soap opera type series that are now on. I know there are some good ones but most are garbage and should be on Hallmark.

That being said I will cut Minka some slack because was very nice to my wife and I during season 2 and 3 of FNL when we worked on the show as lowly extras.

By the way she is stunningly beautiful up close in person.

I'm fuzzy on Texas geography...since I've only been here my whole life...

But since when is anywhere near Lubbock "Hill country"?

That's the whole point.  The TV series evidently  relocated it.

I got fucking food poisoning from a cookout there - next to the lake, not at the metal spaceship house - and had to spend the next morning at the UMC ER. Your first photo isn't showing for me, so it may well be an after-shot of it after someone finally finished it (or fixed it up). At least, I think I've heard it was finally completed a few years ago.

Edit: Found an article about it. Pretty kick-ass, tbh. https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/steel-house-texas-auction-robert-bruno/

The image they are projecting does not match up with the whole “Southern Plains” thing because a lot of people associate that with Oklahoma and Kansas and grassy plains, and this is rugged and dirty.

My guess is they didn’t want to say “Llano Estacado” either because the fake cowboys who watch this shit would lose their fucking minds, even though that sounds mysterious and interesting to normal people.

Unfortunately for him, his G.I. Joe franchise never properly spun out of the Transformers films like Hasbro wanted, but it looks like they are trying again (maybe).

Minka Kelly needs to show the goods for this to get any kind of buzz. 

Nothing but fakes out there, but they get the job done.

But how can Surly find flaws in her if they're fake?

Holy shit.

Pilot Knob (Austin, Texas) - Wikipedia

Quote

Pilot Knob is the eroded core of an extinct volcano located in Austin, Texas, United States. It is near Austin–Bergstrom International Airport and McKinney Falls State Park

Quote

The second season of the American procedural drama television series 9-1-1: Lone Star featured a scenario where Pilot Knob reactivated, and the characters' attempts at saving lives as a result of the eruption

Now I have to watch this Lone Star Austin 911 show. It sounds so insane it might be funny.

At this point in the timeline, I'm not ready to rule out an extinct volcano opening up under Austin.

I'm sure all 200 people who live within 15 miles of Ransom Canyon will be watching.

I fished Buffalo Springs Lake once when I was in law school there. West Texas fishing. Talk about a waste of fucking time

Duhamel is from Minot in NW North Dakota.  There are cows up there.  He can pass as a cowboy.

Tech was gracious enough to give me a JD. Unfortunately if Jesus ever went to Lubbock there'd have been plenty of loaves but no fish

  • 4 weeks later...

Ok.  I watched it so y'all wouldn't have to.

To answer the geography question, it is supposed to take place near Lubbock/Amarillo; however, it was filmed in New Mexico.  There are several scenes with snow-capped mountains in the background.  😆

The show is a mixture of Friday Night Lights and Yellowstone.  I doubt too many of y'all would like it.  I kind of just settled in. 

  • There's no nudity except for 2-3 man ass scenes.  Lame.  
  • Something I found pretty funny.  There's a complete copy of Billy and Riggins on the show.  Two brothers, on their own, living in a trailer.  First pic is the older brother from Ransom Canyon; second pic is Billy from FNL.

  • The music is great.  The scenery is cool.  I swear I was meant to live in the country.  Probably one reason I kind of liked the show.
  • The plot is all over the place.  The "bad guy", if you will, goes from good to bad to good to bad about 20 times.
  • I have a new crush - Marianly Tejada.  (below)
  • Several references to UT including one scene that may have been filmed in Gregory.  

 

 

Rate Marianly Tejada : r/VindictaRateCelebs(

The preview on Netflix is to the Applebees date night song, I’ll take your word for it on the music being great.

Apparently somewhere that you can drive to Plainview in one hour which means it isn't the Hill Country.    I know that detail because my wife watches this thing as a replacement until Virgin River comes back.

The show was shot near Santa Fe and Las Vegas, New Mexico which once again would explain all those really tall trees one hour from Plainview.

Yep.  That song popped up in the finale.  Id never heard it before.  They use Jose Gonzalez's Teardrop (same as FNL).  Great song.  Also a lot of the same type of music as Yellowstone.  I don't listen to country, but it's good music.

This show is unbelievably bad.  I mean, just fucking...wow.  MILF Lyla Garrity can not save this one.  Avoid.

Melrose Place Texas.  But I was a sucker for Melrose Place - hence the non hatred.

Another geographic laugh and no, i am not spoiler alerting this shit because if you are surprised by anything on this show you are a dumbass.  

Sherriff in Ransom Canyon which is supposedly 1 hour drive from Plainview is given a tip about a chop shop in Bandera where a truck involved in a fatal accident was taken for repair.  

That is over 400 miles?  Haven't screenwriters learned from the Simpsons and not give specific geographic points of reference.
