Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty explodes onto HBO with all of the energy the title would suggest. From the explosive opening titles to the slick, fast-paced editing, this is a show that is determined to tell the story of the Lakers without skimping on the sheer glory of it all. And oh boy, is it a good time. Based on the book Showtime by Jeff Pearlman, the story of the Lakers in this era is presented in a way that anyone, not necessarily basketball lovers, can get on board.
This pilot episode is absolutely electric from a stylistic standpoint. McKay is very much in The Big Short mode here: cast members are introduced with a freeze-frame and a cheeky subtitle, and characters will frequently break the fourth wall and address us, sometimes in the middle of a conversation. The scripting of the conversations is snappy and engaging, and the asides give a dynamic sense of being right there when these conversations took place.
Hawk Ripjaw has been sharing his opinion on film and TV since his early teens, when the local public library gave away prizes for submissions to their newsletter. Since then, he's been writing for local newspapers, international video game sites, booze-themed movie websites, and anywhere else he can throw around some media passion. He watched the Mike Myers Cat in the Hat movie over 50 times in two years, for science.
Suddenly, the ground starts shaking and splitting. From underground, two supervillains known as the Mauler Twins rise, but one complains that he should have checked his clone's calculations, since they were supposed to be inside the building. The other one gets angry and complains that he is not the clone. They are shot at, but they are unfazed. Steve shoots the one of the twins, and shakily orders him to back off. The twin approaches him, and Steve shoots him once again, damaging the twin's eye this time. Before he could kill Steve, the Guardians of the Globe approach the Mauler Twins and order civilians to be evacuated while they fight. The twin whose eye was shot asks War Woman if she could not have sat this fight out and let them kill the president, but she tells him that it was not her style.
Later, Mark takes out the trash at his job, which is not an easy task for him. However, he picks up a second bag and throws it very far, discovering his powers had kicked in, which makes him say "It's about time."
He wakes up at 6:00 AM, very tired and his father tells him they would train. Once they are in the sky, his father tells him he would get the hang of flying, having to focus at first. His father tells him that flying could tire him, and to use momentum in order to relax from time to time. He told his son to relax and realized Mark had practiced the night before. He tells him to land, but Mark had a hard time doing so and eventually crashed into the ground. Nolan told him to hit him and to use his whole body while doing it, even practicing while flying. Nolan showed Mark how to punch, and hurt Mark, which Nolan told him was part of his preparation.
Debbie asks him if he remembers his former bullies, and she told him about drama in her life to make him feel better. She also tells him that she was still there for him, but now instead of them being together, he was now more inclined to spend time with his father, which she understood. However, Mark says that he was nothing like his father and was more like her, asking her how he could ever live up to everything his father had done. She tells him he did not have to, and only had to be the best version of himself.
Interestingly, the first episode, titled "When you're lost in the darkness," will feature a runtime of 85 minutes. Fans who've played the game know that the first episode will show Joel's origin, and we may even get to see Joel meeting Ellie in Episode 1 itself. So, it makes sense for the episode to flex a longer runtime than the rest of the episodes in the season.

HBO's The Time Traveler's Wife episode 1 ended with a dramatic hint at Henry's fate as he looked at his own severed feet. Based on the bestselling novel by Audrey Niffenegger and written by Steven Moffat, The Time Traveler's Wife exploits time travel in a rather unusual manner. Time travel serves as the central plot device for a love story in which a time traveler named Henry DeTamble (Theo James) encounters the woman he is destined to marry, Clare Abshire (Rose Leslie).
The Time Traveler's Wife episode 1 sets up the premise of the entire show, explaining how its time travel works and introducing viewers to various iterations of Henry and Clare from different points in their timelines. The time travel narrative reveals that Henry essentially lives his life in the shadow of his future; he will marry Clare because he was always destined to do so, and in truth neither have any choice in the matter. Unfortunately, in HBO's adaptation of The Time Traveler's Wife, Clare isn't the only thing Henry knows about his future, because he's haunted by other projections through time. Henry repeatedly sees a pool of blood, and in The Time Traveler's Wife episode 1's cliffhanger ending he even sees his own severed feet - identifiable because of a distinctively shaped birthmark.
Viewers primarily familiar with the 2009 movie version of The Time Traveler's Wife will undoubtedly be surprised at this particularly gruesome twist. However, this is actually a more faithful adaptation of Niffenegger's novel, where towards the end of his life Henry was transported into a blizzard. In the movie, Henry's (Eric Bana) frostbite means that he cannot run anymore. However, in the book the adaptations are based on, upon his return Henry was close to death from frostbite and exposure and his feet were amputated to save his life by preventing gangrene from spreading. The Time Traveler's Wife episode 1 subtly confirms it will follow this arc, because the oldest Henry - the one recording video messages - is revealed to have been sitting in a wheelchair when he time travels at the end of the episode.
Viewers who've watched the 2009 movie might be surprised by this apparent change to the narrative, but it fits logically with the show's temporal mechanics - allowing writer Steven Moffat the opportunity to indulge in the kind of "timey-wimey" concepts he enjoyed exploiting with Doctor Who. According to the HBO adaptation of The Time Traveler's Wife, every part of Henry's body is able to travel through time under its own power. He tells Clare his nail-clippings time travel, and he seems to be keeping his hair long because he's tired of having haircuts that follow him home. Amputated feet would therefore share the same ability, explaining why they're hurtling through time and space. The odds of Henry stumbling upon them are high, simply because he appears to be drawn to significant moments in his own personal history.

With their fact fuel replenished, the time pilots meet up with a flapper from the 1920s, who is covering her mouth because she thinks she has halitosis, because Listerine commercials have caused a bad breath scare.
Once in the 1920s, however, Jacqueline Hyde neutralizes the "fact fuel," so the time pilots must go through another Data Boost. Afterwards, Kevin runs out of clues, so he and the Chief summon up Omnicia, whose clues lead the time pilots to the year 1951, when the first television soap operas were sponsored by Procter & Gamble's cleaning products. There, Jacqueline Hyde and the time pilots play Global Pursuit in the early 1950s.
After the Global Pursuit, Kevin and the time pilots overhear Jacqueline Hyde telling Carmen that she's in 1985, when the Home Shopping Club premiered on TV. Once in 1985, they retrieve P.T. Barnum's slogan and return it to 1872.
At the kingdom, Princess Bubblegum evacuated all of the Candy People to the main candy foyer, where she announces that they are all going to have a slumber party. She explains to Finn that if the Candy People find out about the zombies, they'll explode in fright (although they don't explode in later episodes when they become afraid). At the same time, Starchie searches for Princess Bubblegum in the Graveyard to give her a bigger corpse shovel, but he explodes upon seeing a Candy Zombie. Back at the Candy Kingdom, Bubblegum makes Finn royal promise not to tell anyone about the candy zombies, then gives him orders to keep the people distracted while she tries to finish the serum in her lab. Jake hears part of the discussion and begins asking what Princess Bubblegum and Finn were up to. In an attempt to keep the promise, Finn avoids answering Jake and tries playing Truth Or Dare, where Chocoberry dares Mr. Cupcake to take off his wrapper. Mr. Cupcake then asks Jake whether he prefers chocolate or fudge. Jake says he can't eat either because he is a dog, and if he eats either, he would probably die. But he says if he had to choose, he would choose neither fudge nor chocolate. Finally, Jake dares Finn to tell the truth about what's going on. 041b061a72
