David McK (3801 KP) rated The Karate Kid, Part III (1989) in Movies
Jan 17, 2021
A couple of the episodes in said series have linked back to The Karate Kid Part 2, which I'd watched prior to starting that particular series after it was teased towards the end of series 2. I suppose I should have known, therefore, that there would have been a couple of teases/callbacks/references made to The Karate Kid Part 3 (which I'd never seen), particularly in the storyline in which Daniel LaRusso's daughter Samantha is traumatised.
I have to say, I found this to be slower and less enjoyable than either Part 1 or Part 2, with a lame romantic subplot, and with Terry Silver in particular a one-note villain, whose brutal karate technique and training drives a wedge between Daniel and Mr Miyagi.

The mystery and rarity of Eve and Villanelle meeting is quickly lost, and a number of massive implausible plotlines just threw me right out. After spending the first series hunting this assassin, to then drop it completely and go in such a different direction just did not work for me. I get that the overall plot by MI6 was what mattered more to them, and made the story stick together, but for Eve and others to go along with it so willingly just didn't seem believable.
Enjoyable but a let-down.
Ross (3284 KP) rated Mindhunter - Season 2 in TV
Sep 2, 2020
The profiling work was crammed into the first few episodes as the later ones focused on trying to catch the Atlanta child-killer. The portrayal of the case seemed very realistic, being long and drawn-out and having to wait for another body to turn up, but for a TV series it was a little dull. Given this is a weaving together of partly fictionalised versions of actual cases, some liberties could have been taken and more killer interviews added in, though I presume these are being saved for later series, of which I hope there are many.

David McK (3801 KP) rated The Aeronaut's Windlass in Books
Dec 20, 2023
Rather, this is probably best described as Steampunk, which is a genre I previously had little exploration in, and which Google defines as:
"...a subgenre of science fiction and sometimes fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.".
Reading that description, this definitely fits right into that bracket!
To my mind, it also falls more towards the fantasy aspect of Steampunk: after all, we have a new magic system, airships, the ability to communicate with animals (cats), and monsters from the ground all within the pages of this story even if (for my money), it never quite gripped me as much as a Harry Dresden book.
