I've not seen it, but damn if Zoe Saldana isn't a smart woman. In addition to "Lioness", she's played a starring role in three major movie franchises and ended up at this point as the highest grossing actor of all time. This while being a married (to a man) with three kids and keeping her politics mainly to herself. |

Zoey Saldana shower scene S3E1. Very nice..brief but enjoyable. I think it's funny reading all the posts bitching about this show and other Sheridan ones. People hate them but show up like flies on shit to threads about them to tell everyone how they hate them. Go touch some grass you homos. Or better yet go watch "The View" that seems more your speed. |

Well her net worth is $60 to $80 million, compared to Tom Cruise and The Rock who are both around $800 million. Seems to me if she was truly smart she would be making a hell of a lot more... or maybe it is just the narrative that women need to work ten times harder to make ten times less than men. |

| One thing many of you may have missed in season 2 is it sends a strong message condemning the open boarder and the lack of leadership. Season 2 was filmed in 2024 and in case you don’t remember, Joe was the president. Go back and listen to Morgan Freeman in season 2 E7 beginning about the 4 minute mark. Yes there is some wokeness but there are some good messages sprinkled in. |
Imagine how brain washed people have to be to cast aside all manner of critical thought, rationality, reason and most of all, self preservation for the cause…. JP

So she's not smart because she's "only" worth $80 mil? So I guess the Rock and Cruise aren't smart because they're not worth trillions? I think she has found a comfortable niche in Hollywood without TDS or publicly embracing the latest Lefty Woke cause of the week. But you judge by whatever standards you use.

You guys complaining about the husband and kids really dont have a clue what its like to be outside the normal 9-5 job. Ive known wives who claimed their husband abandoned them because he got deployed....and how'bout the wife that didnt like her husband (a Cop), carrying a weapon when he was off duty OR complained that it was the husband's fault when the family had to take extra precautions because a pycho threatened the family. THATS real world shite. Sometimes families dont understand. Sometimes rich teenage girls are whove never heard a harsh word are cunts. Sometimes they learned to be cunts from their grandmother. OH and all that shite is real...ask me how I know |

OH and all that shite is real...ask me how I know I really like the show, I enjoy most of what he puts out for us to watch. Yellowstone could have ended sooner. He paints a picture like he is one of us and not some raging liberal cuck. While the home life stuff isn't necessarily great, that part of life for someone constantly away is a thing. I have seen a ton of marriages end because of constantly being away on deployments, and being away from home. It is nice to turn your brain off and just watch a show or movie. |

I dont mind the family story line that much. I actually like the husband, pediatric surgeon as the trope husband who is supportive but anxious. The kids are better after season 1 midway point. I do agree The Unit wives were annoying. There was just too much of them. And Max Martini showing up in every Tier 1 centric movie/show makes him the Caucasian equivalent of that Japanese actor who always plays a villain thug. You know who I mean. |

In real life nobody with actual power goes around screaming like that. They did it a couple times that season and it made no sense either time. It was so bad I thought it was going to be an actual plot point like she got a TBI which is why she was acting so erratically. |

I had a hard time getting into the show. The butch lesbian who leads the QRF/Taxtical team, the girl who is supposed to be a track star but runs worse than anyone I’ve ever seen, is supposed to be this honey trap but is so ugly and has zero feminine traits, just put me off. I struggled through the first few episodes but eventually it got better. The first two episodes of S3 are rock solid (minus the ugly Lesbians). The show is supposed to be about spycraft intervention, and it is delivering with some occasional cool tactical stuff. It’s actually handling the time sequence jumps well, which is something I usually hate a lot. The concept of how the CIA got suckered, leading to Joes cover being blown, as well as their response, is very new and well executed. I just wish Sheridan would stick to writing/directing and not acting in his stuff. I’m sure airing for him to get on a horse and start spinning in circles. |

Husband is a fucking cuck. The more I think about it, I hate that whole family. |

They do get some current event digs in on occasion. I liked the Byron guy (Nicole Kidman's partner guy) confronting the Russians in the resturant about playing spy games on American soil and making a joke about getting our vape weed smoking basketball player back in a trade. |

First season was good Second Season not as good Third Season, typical late model Sheridan show with way too much filler. All of his shows in the last couple of years just have lots of useless stuff. Landsman being pretty good about it and Mayer of Kingstown. Half of the later seasons of Yellowstone, every episode is useless stuff that doesn’t further the plot. Dutton Ranch pretty much the same. Lioness season 3. Ep 2. A longer lesbian scene than has ever been spent on the main characters. Didn’t further the plot. Zoe and her husband don’t get interactions that long. Time jumps all over. Half of ep 2 is a bunch of tactical stuff that is irrelevant to the current time line that could have been explained in half the time to get to the current situation. It just doesn’t have the dialogue writing to get away with that like say Landman where the side quests and conversations are so entertaining it’s worth it to take a break from the main story. Lioness isn’t woke in my opinion. Zoe gets her ass handed to her quite often. She isn’t kicking operator asses. A special ops team saves her ass all the time and Taylor’s character in it saves them all at the end of season two. I don’t find it girl bossy, they are just smart and calculating. They don’t treat the men like they are useless nor does the storyline. The other Lioness agents can get a little girl bossy but are reasonably in their capability in combat for the most part. It’s way better than US Marshals, and Dutton Ranch. It’s got good spy game vibes and somewhat current events. |

Yea that was a good part of the episode in the resturant, and I like that Michael Kelly in most all of the characters he plays. Good actor. |

He's great at that character type. He played the same type in the Jack Ryan series. |

It's good entertainment, but it's still hollywood bullshit. In all that full auto gun play, did anyone see any empty brass hitting the ground (or each other)? I don't recall any. And the malagators ripping people apart. Granted, they can ruin your day, but they aren't velociraptors. I like the show, and I'll keep watching it, but it is what it is. The wife and I started counting all the actors we've seen from the other Sheridan shows recycled through. I guess that worked for John Wayne. He liked working with the same people too. |

Bear Wolves Tiger They be talking about New Left shit like it was some recent Commie psyop. The effect of media and influencers on forming confusion and indecision within societies. Ideological subversion. Of offering a counterconditioning to prevalent societal norms and mores. A psyop to form up problems. Uncertainty. Disease. Phfftt. This shit has been ongoing since the 1970s. Constantly. Unendingly. Framing it as an unknown is some kind of weird. It's certainly not a revelation. I like the framing though. The animal comparison. |

Good episode. Taylor is very good at educating the uninformed about the dynamics of international intrigue. This episode had me confused to the point I was about to rewatch episode two to see if I missed anything. I still have my suspicions about Kyle. |
