The national broadcasting company presents Joel McCrae in Tales of the Texas Rangers Tonight transcribed from Hollywood another authentic reenactment of a case from the files of the Texas Rangers Tales of the Texas Rangers starring Joel McCrae as Ranger Jayce Pearson Texas more than 260,000 square miles And 50 men who make up the most famous and oldest law enforcement body in North America The Rangers come these stories based on fact only names dates and places are fictitious for obvious reasons The events themselves are a matter of record case for tonight paid in full It is 745 p.m. August 18th 1941 Nick Hubbard the West Texas farmer is seated at the dinner table with his wife men But Hubbard is not eating Instead his attention is riveted on an advertisement in the newspaper before him Will you stop staring at that thing and eat your supper Nick? I ain't hungry. You've had your nose buried in them new car ads ever since you got the check for the cotton cross That's a lot of good.  Didn't mean nothing Nick.  I make you to a night shirt. How can you say that Nick? You got $1,100 out of his crop Even half of that's more than you made before doing the work yourself He knows you got the check Nick can't stall him much longer. It's been three days now, and he's coming back again tonight Reckon that's him now Nick Come on right up on a front porch like you in the place. You're busy with your dishes. I'll handle him Morales what you want? Sanyo Hubbard I come for my money for the cotton.  I can't give you what I ain't got. Please Sanyo Oh, I don't like to bother you, but my wife. She's sick. We're going to have another baby Look, I got troubles of my own Morales Sanyo Hubbard, I know you got the money. I asked the cotton buyer He tell me that everybody is paid you checking up on me.  I do not sneak across the border. I'm a good citizen of this country. Good Come on. Tell you what I'll do and it's better than you deserve.  No, Sanyo. No You don't give Jose Morales $50. I Want my money, Sanyo all my money you better pick that 50 up Morales cuz that's all you're gonna get Sanyo, you do not give me the money tomorrow. I go to a lawyer in the town lawyer You're gonna take that 50 and sign a paper right now You stay out of this man me and Morales just made a deal Where's that pencil and some paper in the second shelf? I do not sign any paper. Come back here, Morales You ain't going far. He's dead Nick What are you gonna do? I Gotta get him off the place. Help me lift him. I better get him off the place. I can't Nick.  Oh Shut it like I shut his The body of Jose Morales was discovered two days later by a field hand It had been dumped in a thicket in rugged country near a path used as a shortcut to town The sheriff was summoned and he in turn asked for the help of a Texas Ranger Ranger Jase Pearson was assigned Good thing you were towing your horse trailer Jase for your rough go on foot That looks like it gets plenty of use though Yeah field hands use it for a shortcut to town when they're walking or mounted yes They figured three miles of this is better than eight miles of highway Bodies just up ahead. I rolled down a ways to meet you and I heard your horse He said something about somebody reporting Morales missing before the body was discovered. That's right His wife came to my office yesterday and said he hadn't been home all night means he might have been killed the night before last Seems that way. Oh here. We are. Oh boy. Oh charkey Right in that ticket Shotgun. Yeah, I got it behind the head and flew his back heavy charge 12 gauge probably He just like it was found. Yeah Wasn't killed here then I killed here. Why not? We're at the head of the body that means he'd have been walking this way through the thicket when he was shot And he'd fall forward on his face toward us. Yeah, that's right All right now look at the ticket behind his feet direction. He would have been coming from where but hasn't been disturbed He couldn't walk through that thicket without breaking some of it down Besides he wouldn't be walking off the path. I see what you mean It must been on the path when he was shot then never gone to carry the body over this way and dumped him into the thicket Have a look at that path around here Blood from his wounds should have left a mark someplace and stain on the ground. Yeah Yeah, nothing here. No sign of blood. No sound the earth being skipped over to hide it now We're not gonna find anything not around here. He'd been dumped when that wound was fresh We'd have found something by now He was brought in here after all the bleeding had stopped because somebody didn't want the body found where he was killed Well, that means we got to find out where it's not gonna be easy. It never is There's one good thing about it. Once we do find the place it isn't gonna be far from the killer or the body wouldn't have been moved There's nothing else for us to see here lab man's flying in from Austin might find something when the medical examiner does an autopsy I'll have to stay here a while may know direct at you here bringing pack animals to take the body into town There's no sense in both of us staying. I'll get started Now you know where Morales lived. Yeah, shack near the cotton fields on the North Rim and Nick Hubbard's farm. Thanks, Sheriff Don't suppose you know if Morales was having trouble with anybody not that I know of Jayce Making his family might know something though. Maybe the Hubbard's I'll see him both meet you in town when I'm finished Okay, Jayce get around charge I got back to my car loaded charcoal in the horse trailer and drove to the Hubbard farm Hubbard wasn't there, but his wife was out back scrubbing clothes She was trembling and kept wetting her lips as she spoke to me and I could see that she'd been crying Yes We we heard about it. Maybe an hour ago somebody called on the party line to tell my husband where's your husband now, Mrs. Hubbard He drove out to the Morales shack to tell Mrs. Morales and see if maybe there wasn't something he Could do for her and the kids Morales work chairs for us, you know, so the sheriff told me I Don't know what what his woman will do now How far is the shack Morales lived in a little over a mile our place goes back quite a ways Landing too good. We got a lot of it. Morales ever come here to your house. I mean Only when he had some business with Nick my husband. When was the last time I Don't got no Ranger Like I said he'd come to see Nick probably be around when he came though. When was the last time you saw him? I can't say for sure. I'm too upset to think There comes Nick now. There's his car coming across the field. Good. Maybe he'll know something I Like to know if Morales was here the night before last Nick will know for sure. He'll tell you Ranger Howdy Saw your car here as I was coming across mighty slick looking here Which my old bus to shave the Ranger wants to know some things about Morales, well, I could figure that from myself man. What else would he want to know about? Yeah, I just left his widow. This thing's hit her kind of hard Sure, feel sorry for her men and kids. I know of course men and me will do anything We can help them. I told her they could stay on the shack men and that we wasn't fixing to charge him no rent No, nothing poor woman Wife can't help how she feels mr. Urban Just a couple of things I want to know When'd you see Morales last your wife couldn't remember? Yeah, you sure are broken up man You ought to remember Morales is here night for last. I wasn't sure the night before last huh? What time what? Just say if we finish supper eight o'clock maybe the same night. He was killed. What you mean He's been dead that long judging by the appearance of the body Yes, we'll know for sure when the medical examiner gets finished with him, but why are you so surprised? Well, I mean he was only found a little while ago He's been missing since the night before last though his wife reported that to the sheriff's office yesterday You knew that didn't you well sure? I knew it But I figured he was off on a tube celebrating with that roll of money. What role of mine money I paid him for working shares on a cotton is that when you paid him when he was here night before last sure Handed him five hundred and fifty dollars That's why I'm surprised men didn't remember him stopping by Why you remember men you was there when I handed him the cash and he made his ex on that receipt. I wrote out Wasn't sure the night so he had five hundred and fifty dollars cash on him Now I can see a reason for us being murdered wait a minute wait a matter what? Something mrs. Morales told me just a while ago when I was over there bought a fieldhand who dropped in the night Morales disappeared He wanted to borrow some money Waited around for him But when he didn't come fella said he'd walk down toward my place here and see if he couldn't meet Morales on the way She mentioned the fieldhand's name Can't remember a shorty. I think shorty something anybody show up here that night looking for Morales No, not while he was here not after he left Wasn't nobody was in it. No must have met Morales away from here then ranger Hmm, maybe the man you're after sure looks mighty possible Hubbard I'm gonna see mrs. Morales and find out who that man was you want to point out the way you better not ranger I'll ride out with you fine. Let's go Goodbye, mrs. Hubbard. Bye man back later.  Yeah, I won't get me a new car soon Sure do home. Don't you yeah am I heading right there? Oh, yeah Yeah, just straight across the field and follow that fence line Sure is a shame about Morales But I I reckon you ain't gonna have much work once this woman tells you who that fella was the shorty Looks like you had a motive all right sounds like the killer to me. I hope you get him ranger Morales is a mighty fine Mexican mighty fine. He'd see anybody get away with killing him And this is a fine car Listen to repair In just a moment we will continue with tales of the Texas Rangers starring Joel McCrae as ranger Jase Pearson But first here is an important announcement Next Sunday over most of these same NBC stations you will hear tales of the Texas Rangers at a new and earlier time Yes beginning next Sunday listen one hour and a half earlier for this program This new earlier time will bring you tales of the Texas Rangers Immediately following the Phil Harris Alice facial and right before theater guild on the air Remember next Sunday tune in one hour and a half earlier for tales of the Texas Rangers We continue now with tales of the Texas Rangers starring Joel McCrae and tonight's case paid in full an Authentic story from the files of the Texas Rangers The Morales shack was threadbare, but scrubbed clean like the two wide-eyed kids who clung to their mother's skirts There was heartbreak in her eyes. She kept it smothered for the sake of her children till she sent them outside so we could talk Go go play in the back Our dog I Try not to cry when they are near me. Take it easy. Mrs. Morales easy What is easy life is hard for me for them? Now they have no father to help now. Now everything's gonna be all right I told you you can stay on here rent free and everything. We didn't want to stay here We were going to move away and get a little place of our own for the new baby That's going to come as soon as you careful say his money Why do you make him wait so long? Well, I for three days every day he asked you for his share and you keep saying you don't need the check yet But you did what is this hubbard? Well, it's just a little misunderstanding ranger I can explain it. I I didn't want to give Jose the money what to give it to Mrs. Morales here I asked him to bring her down to the house and collect it. Why why for her sake and the sake of the kids You know how some sharecroppers I might have taken all that dough and blown it in on it the gila bin Oh, she would not spend our money that way He was a good husband. Well, I got no way being sure of that I was just trying to look out for you and your youngsters. Is that a crime? No, but while you were being so Considerate you could have driven out here with the money instead of expecting this woman to walk to your place to get it Mrs. Morales Mr.. Hubbard says you told him about somebody coming here to borrow money from your husband the night He didn't come home see a man who worked with us a someplace once before two years ago.    We haven't got him yet Hubbard a couple of things don't fit Mrs. Morales did shorty Davis have a shotgun with him when he came by No, probably had the whole thing planned in advance ranger had the gun stashed away on the shortcut doesn't add up Why not because Morales wasn't killed on the shortcut. He was killed someplace else and taken out there How do you know that because there'd be certain signs at the scene of the murder that warned around where the body was found You mean like blood on the ground things like that. Yeah, things like that So shorty you must have killed him someplace else somebody did We'll pick shorty up and see what he's got to say. Goodbye miss Morales Come on, I'll drive you home When I got back to sheriff's office it was late afternoon and the medical examiner and our lab man had finished the sheriff had a complete report Oh Anything special in this lab report a few things. Yeah, let me show you here Shot followed a downward path indicating that the gun was fired from above and behind a victim Pattern of shot spread a number of pellets striking target from normal number of pellets in regulation 12 gauge shell Further indicates the shot came from approximately 20 yards behind victim with a gun muzzle at high level It's pretty interesting isn't it Jace plenty interesting means that Morales must have been shot by somebody who was standing on something above the ground level Or maybe somebody mounted. That's the way it shapes up You know anything about a field hand named shorty Davis. Yeah, I've been around here for quite some time You know where to find him it doesn't leave any place regularly just grubs around Good hurt me next in before the cotton season and never had a chance put any money by I reckon he's mighty hard out What do you want him? Tell you why we're looking. Let's find him We combed the town until midnight, but there was no sign of shorty Davis I called my headquarters and with the sheriff supplying a description put out a statewide pickup Was just after dawn when it paid off shorty Davis was picked up by the highway patrol less than 50 miles away They brought him back to us All right shorty sit down over there Mr. Chef before those men bring me back here I ain't done nothing if you haven't you'll be taken back to where you were picked up Meanwhile, where were you going just heading for El Paso to see my folks mr. Ranger kind of sudden decision shorty You've been hanging around here for months. I couldn't go before sir I was waiting to get me some money. Yeah, you mean you've got money now. Why yes, sir Where'd you get it shorty? Well from my accident you remember the accident I had sir Well, when mr. Hawks and Wilson hit me with his automobile where the lawyer man mr. Corby he got me some sediment money for getting hit is that the truth shorty won't take long to find out if it isn't I wouldn't lie to your toss you could ask mr. Hawks and Wilson. You better call him and check sheriff. I sure will Mr. Ranger, where did the sheriff think I got the money you'll find out later shorty how much have you got Well, I had a hundred dollars just been a couple for eating yesterday When'd you leave town yesterday morning a time early right after the bank open and mr. Hawks got me the money then you didn't know that Jose Morales was found dead yesterday morning Murdered was murdered the night you stopped by his shack to see him I never did see him that night, but you did stop by the shack. Yes, sir, but he wasn't home.  I'm telling you the truth. Just keep on telling go ahead Jason I've been listening with one of your Mrs. Morales told you where her husband was didn't she she said he would have her but farmed that's all And didn't you leave the shack saying you'd go down to the farm and meet him? Yes, sir I wanted to get the lender some money from Jose. He knew me We worked together once He loaned me before now all this paid him back We ain't asking about your credit rating shorter What do you want to know is what happened after you met Morales? I never did meet him. Was nobody at mr. Hubbard's place the Hubbard's weren't there No, sir. I knocked hard on the back door and there wasn't nobody there at all Now you'll be mighty sure what you're saying shorty I am sure mr. Chef that old house was just plain empty. Jose wasn't there I thought maybe he'd come back or maybe he hadn't been there yet So I went over in the field and sat me down on a stump and waited Then mr.  Yes, sir What kind of story are you trying to invent? I ain't inventing nothing mr. Chef. That's gospel Didn't know how but seeing no sir. Like I said, I was in the field Sitting by a stump. Well, didn't you let him know you were there? No, sir It was Morales. I come to meet and he wasn't with him I didn't want mr. Hubbard raising the first with me and asking me what I was doing around his property at night No, sir. That man he mean James Hubbard wouldn't be towing horses around at night without a reason The reason I can think of is for packing something to a place he couldn't get to in his car You mean like packing Morales buddy up that shortcut trail? That's right But why to kill him because Hubbard was lying about paying Morales his share in that cotton crop He acted mighty funny when it came out. He'd stalled about paying Shorty, yes I want you to repeat your story and we'll type it. Yes. Take your statement statement Yes, after that sheriff we're going out and have a good look at hubbard's farm and darn good. Look, I'm Excuse me a minute Speaking Sheriff, what's the matter? That was Dr. Barker Mrs. Morales come into the funeral parlor to See her husband. She fainted. Well Jay's She lost her baby We headed for hubbard's farm But we parked off the road about a half mile away and cut across the fields on foot Hoping we could check around outside the house without being spotted We were in the covers and trees and we saw mrs.  Jay's? I don't know. Don't let her see you Hey, she's dumping it by the brush. Yeah, why didn't she dump it in back? Maybe so woman carry a laundry tub around to the front of the house to dump it But she was growing something a lot more than one tub full has been dumped in that spot Look at that ground. It's soaked. Come on Go in and see us. I want to find out what she's doing. Hubbard isn't around the garage shed is open and the car isn't there Just a minute mrs. Hubbard. Oh, it's you And the sheriff It's a funny place you picked to empty a laundry tub, man. Well, I The ground seemed kind of dry. It's dry all around here except for this one spot by the brush Quite a lot of water has been dumped here much more than you had in that tub Take a look around sheriff What are you looking for? Maybe a couple of blood stains dried into the ground If there was anything here, jayce, we're too late now. I'm not an inch thick to the base of this brush. Yeah, I know Yeah, there's one thing that's still here Take a look sheriff. What is it? Leaves on this brush holes ripped through some of the leaves just the way they'd be if a shotgun charge came through Some bugs bugs never made these holes, ma'am Sheriff look at the porch of the house A far wage you said was Well, maybe 18 20 yards put me Hey The lab report said the shot was fired from approximately 20 yards with a muzzle level above the victim and that porch is the only Elevated spot it could have come from Hubbard must have fired from there That ain't so nick didn't kill morales. He didn't he did and you know it When I asked you when you'd seen morales last you kept stalling your answer until your husband came He's committed two murders if the truth is known men because mrs. Morales just lost the baby She was carried. Oh, no. No Nick is your husband man, but lion for somebody like him ain't right before earth or heaven and you know it I told him not to do it. I begged him to pay morales, but he was greedy greedy He took a shotgun and where is the gun ma'am in the house? I'll show you I can't go on with this no more All last night he was dumping water out there by the brush where morales fell Something you said yesterday about blood stain scared him Scared me too. That's why I brought the laundry water out there. I couldn't stop thinking about it There's the gun there in the corner Maybe I ain't a fit why Maybe I shouldn't have told you but I feel better about it now. I feel better Some night maybe I'll sleep again if I live to be old enough Where's your husband now mrs. Hubbard? I don't know Left this morning before sun up to drive to center city City'd be back before noon. I guess we'll just sit and wait then if you don't mind. Wait a minute sheriff Car coming up the drive now Take a look out through those curtains That ain't nicks car That that one's brand spanking new that's nick in it though So that's what he went to send the city for she's right sheriff that man really loves new cars Yeah, stand back from the window Let him come in come give your eyes a treat Howdy, Hubbard. Yeah, how do you share? Ranger in Why are you looking at me like that? I told him nick. I told him everything I told him how you cheated morales.  Oh, you don't I'll try that again I'll get up Mrs. Morales lost her baby nick. Ain't you proud of that? Well, you was buying your new car. She was losing that baby. Don't say anymore. Please man You've got a new car, didn't you nick? You know where you're gonna drive in it. Don't you nick?  I'll take him. All right, jeez Come on nick.

What is going on guys welcome back to the channel and I do a poetry you being here today people I need your help you know I'm a PvP newbass it is you know well coming back from a massive break away from the game I want a forward path perfect role PvP role I need that I just don't know what's the best I don't know what to get I don't know what to look for I've got a few I've got 800 plus tokens I'm gonna cash in well I've got a few I've got six the first one I must work so we look at that last I've got this one dynamic sway reduction and multi kill clip and if any of these are good just let me know down below in that comment section and then I would just I'll try them out but this one looks alright to me stability masterwork dynamic sway reduction multi kill clip never actually don't think I've actually had that use that on a weapon PvP yet I've been told it's good I've been told kill clicks better I've been told this is better than kill clip I don't know people you have to help me out and so yes one I got this one here which is pulse monitor multi I do not want to even do that's alright stability on this we've got extended mag takes it up to 51 I mean the game's lagging I don't know why keeps going up destiny contacted destiny servers this shit kicks me watch me head but my mic so yeah I got this one here but I'm gonna get rid of none of these so if you guys tell me if you guys see when you think it's amazing let me know let me know this one here accurate rounds red dot my cruel we got any fourth time to charm and we're going to iron grip which shop of that this is actually pretty good iron grip probably dynamics way reduction and stability I mean obviously you want stability on this thing could it shoot so quick bounces all over the shop that's what we want it's making sure I've pressed that record button because I'm a noob and we've got pulse monitor multi your clip again this one's got reload speed on it I'm not sure about that to be honest and we've got this is what should look like from the you know the quest thing you had we got a side arm and you got this weapon about this then which things pretty bad and a master work one show my master at this one this was the second one I got I played with it a beating PvP but I mean I'm still getting just stomp feel right I mean I must have worked it to it's got 10 range anything that stability I know what I'm thinking so if this had stability here dynamics where reduction there and that there that's probably what I'm looking for and his stability with you guys see anything I'm gonna delete enough if that's if I probably won't even get one on my look people remember the package you're opening videos is through back in the day my look was so bad I'm gonna put all these in there and then we're gonna go open like that's so many I am banner tokens 800 plus than all of the banties and all three characters lost a lot of games stacked them up warlock you remember this kind of videos look down upon you face the fear of what I started doing this ages back ages back I ain't going to open in package opening and get so much hate now everybody does it imagine that imagine that okay so it's so laggy people criminals dagger we keep going we keep going if he kicks me I just cut the video and you know you know I go swam with a raven I think I should you know what I got a swarm of the raven end of the game or did I or did I level this up myself yeah I can't remember well let's check out what is on the other one I can't remember nearsing up what is that thing I'm looking for actually you know I can't remember anything on the game spike grenades that's what we're looking for who moves dagger wanker actually got a decent one of that well I think it's this actually you guys can tell me I quickly just open up my game you guys can tell me if it's decent I think you should have been it would have been decent back in the day I don't know what's wrong with my game at the minute yeah I got this one I mean is this one a good one is it gonna load in it's coming it's there we go I got this one here moving target kill clip I mean range masterwork I'm not sure if it is it good look at that there cuz I like the absence I had I know a lot of things change I was told like Han Kallen's ain't as good as they once were and the range of them's dropped off the limited at a certain range I don't know you know people don't even think I'm gonna get forward path it's probably just gonna have to tell me how the ones we had a look at earlier I mean because my luck is that bad probably won't even get one yes we got one let's have a look at it let's have a look at it this game can kiss my I mean yes another one people we're gonna roll no no that's not that's not that range man you know there's quite a few stability perks thinking about it thinking about it there's quite a few oh yeah even if I don't get one now I'm still gonna play on banner so this time we want that what that best role is for stability anyway stop in that comment section I'm sure to read it and I'll look at it or you can hit me up on my Twitter at DPJSE 08 or here ain't on my discord you can always hit me up on my discord direct message me there I'm getting quite a few months I've never had that's cool few some of the Ravens to miss grenade launch constantly the full remedy you know what I tried using that I couldn't hit nothing you know what people are lacking me with that they were lacking me okay lag I think gain on those rather cuz the armors I'm not too like up to date on what's what I just know to look for certain things certain set values so that's so good I won't do that in the video because obviously I don't want to boy you don't want to make too long get so many criminals daggers not giving me no forward path so times are you gonna not give me no forward path so okay game open the package stop taking the I don't think I've had one since you looked at that last one I'm sorry if you can hear me spamming my brain as well I'm literally just spamming helmets for days this game hates me come on come on give me one no game hates me oh my days I hate this game I hate this game I don't know why I come back to it as a dragon don't know why I come back to it we ain't got nothing cows in here that I haven't looked at have we oh got one yeah did we look at that look like it was flashing to me then the attack on the tower here we looked at this what rubbish well I wish I said a quick look in my vote or my postmaster even so I've only got the ones to choose from that in I mean that first one pretty good I mean we've got only spike needs got no spike days and that one and it's by needs on that one no spike needs and that was all probably got the better one already I don't open in shot that could be good I mean the rest is just junk to me the rest I don't even know what I'm looking for 59 59 58 62 we luck you and if you go over 60 we luck straight away immediately we luck a quick look in my okay so we got by the fox which I just don't use if any of all could don't use it opening shot and outlaw Zen moment and moving target oh my life see what I'm saying game I got the boond game hates me so we got mmm like could be alright be all begun these arms then 60 61 and 60 oh quite high actually 58 and 59 chess pieces we've got 58 59 and 62 come on game so look at that again 20 plus mobility strength 16 that's not bad that's if you the best on a bad legs we have 62 15 mobility that's not that either man I got some good armor to be honest and there we have it people oh that swarms of the Raven here do you look at that no no no no no man just even drop now was it just super probably not let's quickly go back to my vote and have a look at one I had there's a one forward path I think could be quite good like excuse my voice the mess people are just hard everything I really do I apologize about that I don't even know what I'm looking for yeah there we are I see us so what was that one but I give them four times a charm there we've got dynamic sway reduction and multi-kill clip I mean that could be quite good got no more stability rabbit range but that stability master where I could be quite good probably the best one I've got I just don't know people I don't know because that I miss one balance still I got back on my gun it could probably switch that about for kind of balance stuck yeah we'll do that we'll do that we'll do that and I'll bring you guys my findings but yeah if I haven't got in your opinion what the perfect role would be well let me know what you think that is down below in that comment section hey it's me but yeah guys on that note before it kicks me I'm getting off simple as a if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps

Welcome to lecture 25, Regenerative Circuits. This is under module 6, Hydrostatic Transmission System, but I would say, Hydrostatic Transmission System as I described in the last lecture is comprises of pump and motor to error. There will be pump unit, there will be motor unit, they will operate one to each other and this might be open circuit, may be closed circuit. In comparison to that or if we in terms of that, say the regenerative circuits is mostly that piston cylinder and valves operated definitely by a fluid power system where the pump and other components are there. And this may be put into the other module where we discuss about the hydraulic circuits. Anyway, for the distribution of lectures under different module I have put in this module and this you will find very interesting. Now, what it is if we consider any hydraulic cylinders with differential areas, mostly you will find that one side there is rod and other side there is not the piston rod is not there and these are quite common in many application. The full area and the annulus area make circuits possible in which oil from smaller area can be fed straight back into the larger area. This means that we can mix up this oil with the oil in. You will find that mixing in the other way is not possible, we can mix only in this way and that obviously increases the speed of the piston. This type of circuits are termed as differential circuits, bypass circuits, regenerative circuits and circuits with return oil recovery. Various names are there, but may be regenerative circuit is more lucrative. So, I have given the title regenerative circuits and I shall discuss how it works and what are the possibilities of using this circuit and system for the variety of output. Now, in this figure we will find a double acting cylinder linear actuator motor, we can say linear actuator motor of unequal area and the details of the force in the system. Now, I would say that you should remember this term double acting. Double acting means it is acting in both way, it is you can it can do work while it is moving in forward directions. So, it can do work while it is in the return motion. However, in most of the cases you will find the return load is usually less, it mostly less. Now, I have shown the forces acting here. Now, what is there? Say we are supplying say let us consider it is moving in this direction and it is also moving a load due to which F L is the force acting in this direction. So, there must have some pressure which ideally we can get this force divided by this area P that pressure is there. This side if we connect directly to the tank then only pressure will be some resistance to flow the well otherwise there should not have any pressure. So, to say we can say this pressure to find out this pressure we should calculate this force then it must be equal to this force minus this force where this force is the annular area A 2 into the pressure P r. Let us consider it is going back to tank and there is no resistance. So, this pressure is 0. Now, what we can consider that there will be some friction force. This friction force always will act in the direction of opposite to the direction of motion. So, this will be added to the load it is handling. So, that this means that to calculate the pressure P we have to add this load with this load and then divide by this area. Now, where that A 1 I have already discussed it is the full piston area can simply if you know the cylinder bore diameter then from there you can find out the area A 1. Now, A 2 is the annulus piston area remember this is this full area minus this rod area. F s is the friction force offered by seal here also there will be some friction, but this friction will be severe then the friction here because as it is a double acting there is also seal. So, while we are considering the friction we will consider this plus this friction it is apparently written here only, but this is the component of this friction force and friction force at this cap also. F l is the applied load and P is the pressure on full area and pure pressure in the return line.  For understanding the purposes of the regenerative circuit how it works let us assume that friction force is negligibly small and we shall also equate this at no load. Then equation 625 1 becomes P a is equal to P r into A 2 or in other words that just to understand that if we would like to generate a pressure here what we can do we can put a restrictor here say we can connect this path to a pressure relief valve which is set some pressure may be up to this pressure. In that case what we can do what we will find that this will generate a pressure say any pressure this pressure relief valve set at any pressure say 5 megapascals. Then here must be 5 megapascals pressure to be generated for the leakage then whatever P is required here that also can be calculated that means at that condition we can write down this equation or in other words if some resistance is put here then we can generate the pressure by creating the pressure here. Now that pressure again we can calculate directly from these equations this all equivalent sign is given to estimate this pressure.  This means that we can directly allow this flow to meet mix with flow in here because if it is a less pressure then the flow will try to go in this direction of course there is a question of displacement if there is no space to flow then there will be no flow. But once the pressure is higher than this side we can mix up the flow so that much yet sure but still we do not know how to engineer it. Thus the pressure developed in the lateral line annulus area for a given pump inlet pressure is more than the pump inlet pressure. It is the advantage of differential area if the same rod to be also in this direction in some arrangement it is like that in both side there are piston rod of equal diameter in that case we will not have such facilities. It makes while flow possible from return annulus area which I have already described. Now let us calculate the flow. Now figure this figure 2 6.252 shows the stroke and the flow equilibrium. This means so stroke length is this much for that we will estimate what is the flow here and what is the flow here and that we say that the equilibrium in flow and if we write in the form of equations this will be calculated first considering the time. We shall consider that T 1 be the time taken to travel stroke length x for this motion in the outward direction and Q is the flow then we will estimate what is the Q out. The Q out definitely is A 1 x. A 1 x is the total volume for the x stroke in this side and that divided by T 1 is the Q out. T 1 is the by this time which is the volume of oil pumped out through the annulus ring annulus area A 2 during the time the volume of oil pumped in, pumped out through the annulus area A 2 during the time A 2 x. I think this equation I have written wrong it is this will be Q in. Q in is A 1 x by T 1. Now A 2 x we will estimate in regeneration the return oil from annulus area is mixed with the pump inlet oil for extension stroke. Now we will see that let in case of regeneration the time to travel x stroke is T 2 that means if we now mix the oil definitely this time to travel will be different because the original flow Q in is there as well as Q out is there. Now this flow we can calculate now the new flow when this Q out is mixed with this then the Q in whatever it was there it is there and plus A 2 x is the flow out from this side the annulus side time taken is T 2. So, this must be flow out and that is mixing with Q in x and that must be equal to A 1 x by T 2. So, in earlier equation then definitely this equation was I have written wrong that will be Q in. This is very simple equation, but if we now equate for this area and time what we find that A 1 x by T 2 is equal to A 1 x plus T 1 this is equal to A 1 x by T 2 minus A 2 x by T 1. So, this is coming from the equation 6.253. So, this must be Q in there.  Therefore, T 2 will be less than T 1 that means we are getting additional speed by mixing the oil. Hence, in visualization the velocity increases the time of travelling into stroke decreases x strokes this is the x length x stroke decreases. For an example, if we take this A 2 by A 1 is equal to 0.5. Now remember here the A 2 is the annular area. This means that when A 2 by A 1 is equal to definitely the diameter of the rod is half of the total area of the pistons, but that does not mean the diameter is half of that. I have seen that while calculating many student, many engineers they make a mistakes they consider the diameter is half and they arrived into wrong result. So, just remember this area is half not the diameter. So, what we get T 2 is half of the T 1. So, in simple circuit whatever the time taken in case of regenerative circuit we have half the time to travel. Now we look into the applications. As the fluid from this smaller area of the cylinder is effectively being pumped back into the system this leads to either higher cylinder velocity or reduced pump flow is required for the same cylinder velocity. Now here I would say that instead of cylinder velocity we can write the piston velocity anyway. This means that either the working cycle or the overall cost of the system is reduced definitely we are recycling the oil. Now this cylinder velocity may be in the with specific reference to where this piston end is fixed and this is being moved. In some cases it is like that when this is carrying a particularly a table or other things the cylinder moves. So, perhaps in that is why it is written the cylinder velocity. Now the fluid is supplied from an accumulator system. The overall energy input into the system is once again reduced along with this regenerative sometimes an accumulator is also used and there you will find that we are getting much faster speed. You can think of one application directly here itself say for example, on the shaping machines or planar machines where the return stroke is much higher. This has another application that is control velocity because we are now moving something say for example, if you move a pen is like this just pushing like this then you will have less control facility then if we move like this you are putting a pressure here pressure here then you are moving like this. So, control point of view also regenerative circle will be better. It is often required to move a single rod cylinder at equal speeds in both the directions. So, if you find that for half area if you allow to the well the same flow rate whatever the speed will be in return stroke the same speed will be in the forward stroke if the well is mixed. So, with this also we will get equal speed in both the directions that is another advantage. This is easily achieved with a regenerative circuit by utilizing a cylinder with a 2 is to 1 ratio area ratio what I have mentioned now. In this case the annulus area is equal to the rod area. A further application for regenerative circuit is found when the force being applied by a cylinder travelling forward must be severely limited that is if cutting tools or molds would be damaged by the application of high forces that what I mentioned. So, if you move this piston in this directions with force in both the directions it will have much better control. Another point to be mentioned in the high speed mode both sides of the cylinder are under pressure and only the piston rod area is available to drive the cylinder forward. This means that you see if the pressure is acting over here now when this is mixed definitely pressure both the side has to be equal. Now, in that case real area available to tackle this load is only this much area. So, that means you will find that in that case pressure is equal to force divided by simply this rod area. So, this means that you are handling a smaller load holding the piston with higher load. This is another I would say this in another form of presentation the facilities in control. Now, we will think of the circuit how we can make the different circuit in regenerative process. In general the circuits may be divided into two groups those allowing only one forward speed high speed and those in which a change over may be made high speed low speed etcetera. So, in one application for regenerative simply we are mixing the while for forward motion simple is and while it is written only then it is a simple circuit, but with the different type of valves and the circuit what we can do we can make this system this one cylinder to move at a normal speed then regenerative speed etcetera. We will discuss about those circuits the change over can be made automatically or may be depending upon the piston position pressure time or any other required signals or it might be manual simply manual or it might be automatic or semi automatic many thing are possible with the application of other controls may be hydraulic may be pneumatic may even be electronic. Various circuits are explained in the next slides. Now, this circuit we will discuss few circuit in this circuit we have uses we have used two numbers of DC valve 2 by 2 DC valve you definitely you understand as you know the symbols the 2 by 2 DC valve then how it operates valve 2 operate for forward motion that means and valve 1 operate for return motions. Let us say valve 2 is engaged that means the flow is going like this this is closed. So, this means that while is being mixed the only regenerative now when valve 1 is engaged that means this is this line is connected and valve 2 is closed that means it is in this position then while is coming back to the tank from the full area side and while is going to the return side that means normal return and regenerative forward motion. So, this is the simple circuit, but we have used 2 by 2 2 DC valves. Now, let us consider another case that both the valves are open that means connected in that case what will happen tell me in that case cylinder will move in which direction the answer is it will not move because while all we will always flow to the less resistive path and that is definitely the return path while if this is connected and this is connected while we will simply go like this and it will go back to the tank it will not operate this one because there is some resistance and some load is there. So, in no case this will move so that means this is not a hydraulic operation this is a simple case of while is flowing and in fact that can be done because if you do not want any operation here and the pump is still on then while we will go back to the tank not through this. So, that will act as an open circuit sorry open center valve. So, you can design the circuit in this way valve 2 mixes pump input flow and flow from annular side as being high forwards motion. Now, if you go to the circuit 2 in that case what we have used a DC valve again and that is 3 by 2 why 3 by 2 this is 3 port there are 3 port 2 way a 2 position or you can say 3 way 2 positions 1 2 3. So, 3 by 2 means 3 way 2 position valves always the number of ways is at the beginning so 3 by 2 DC valve. Now, let us see what happens valve is in neutral condition retraction takes place that means if we put the valve in this direction this is the neutral position it has been. So, position 1 instead of neutral we can say this is the position 1 this is the normal positions and as the spring is there means if you do not operate the valve it will be here by the with the help of the spring. Now, in that case oil is going in this directions and oil from this side it is coming back to the tank. Now, what we do we operate this to the other positions then there is no intermediate position only full forward or full back and in that case that means if it is in this positions then oil will go here and this oil will also be mixed that means this is having one regenerative and one return positions. What will happen we do not have any other positions incompetent the first circuit there only we get two possibilities there is no three possibilities third possibility and in that case what will happen when it is fully retracted oil has to go back by a the pressure relief valve. So, that means it is you see that closed center it will act like a closed center valve in normal conditions. Normal conditions means again I would say while you have your valve is in this position if it was fully forwarded then it will come back to its retract position and then this will the flow will bypass via the pressure relief valve. Now, circuit three in this case before writing this what is this valve 4 by 3 valve this is 4 by 3 DC valve. Now, when the spool is in neutral condition all the ports are blocked. So, there is no motion during the right solenoid operation regeneration takes place that means here the in the valve itself the regenerative circuit is made it is it allows the mix this oil with this one, but when it is sorry this in the other positions which I have not shown that is that will give the normal return. Now, if we come to the circuit 4 in that case again this is a normal valve 4 by 3 valve DC valve this is closed center valve along with that we have added something to make it regenerative circuit what we have added a subtle valve and along with this 4 by 3 DC valve. The oil returns to the full bore outside the directional valve by the shortest possible path this means when we in the right hand side of this valve then definitely this oil flow is going in this directions and oil coming back from this side as there is a subtle valve this subtle valve will automatically mix with this one it will not allow the oil to go in this directions. So, this valve is such that it will come and it will flow like this it will not come in this directions sorry this is, but if you see this in other positions left hand positions you will find this oil say being the forward sorry the return stroke is in normal using this sign this symbol. Now, in this case again what we find the same valve, but instead of subtle valve we have used two check valve one and two and also there is a flow restrictor. So, definitely this is having say regenerative plus something maybe we can expect from that we can analysis using this one, but let us see what are the valves are there. So, for 4 by 3 DC valves are there two check valves and an orifice which helps oil bleeding to tank when the load increases. What happens let us see now let us connect the right hand side in that case then oil is going like this and oil is coming from here this will now being mixed because here the pressure will be more. So, it will be mixed here, but when it will be mixed then pressure is equal it by no means it can go in this directions. Now, what is said if there is more load suppose the load is increases how it can happen we are using for say metal cutting process in emission tools due to some reason the load is increased when the load is increased in that case automatically there will be increase in pressure because this pressure minus this area minus this area and only we are getting this rod area for generating the force and obviously there will be more pressure and due to that you will find that this flow also taking place through this path and automatically the speed is reduced. Now, if you bring the valve in this position then the oil is going to only this side it also can flow in this way provided the load is more in case the load is more then it will flow through this otherwise it will not flow if even if it flows through this it is again will be mixed with this it cannot go to the tank whereas, this side oil is directly go back to the tank. So, in that way using this we can have an additional advantage that with the increase in load there will be the bypass flow and the bleeding flow you can say and the speed will be automatically reduced. So, this is regenerative and bleeding mixed together the increased pressure allows more oil flow to the tank through the orifice thus reduced the load speed. Now we have discussed only 5 circuits now there what we will find there are another 6 circuits which is from 6 to 11 this will be shown now and this is mainly for your exercise. So, there is no not much explanation is given from there you have to understand how these circuits are being operated. Now in some of those circuits combined combination of valves are used this is not a single valve you will find the few valves are being used to have particular function we shall explain. Now let us consider the circuit 6 the valves can be operated for stopping first forward slow forward and return motions what we find we have these are which what type of valves 2 by 2 2 by 2 DC valves what we find that there are identical 2 by 2 valves. So, this is a b and d these are same basically same only if you you have just put in the opposite direction considering that oil is only allowed to flow in one direction. So, you can put the valve in other way then it will go in this directions and this and this identically same this is also same, but put in the other way, but there is one valve at least which allow flow in both the directions. Now let and the pump is connected to these 2 valves where as written lines are connected to valve a and d. Now operation and sequence and result of actions for circuit 6 are described below in the tabular form. Let us consider the operation is that valves b and d b and d are made on on means these are connected a and c are remained off when piston is at left hand side then what will happen piston will move forward that is right hand side we have connected this path we have connected this path. So, oil is d are made on that means oil is going through this and oil is going back to the tank through valve d. So, normal forward and backward operations in that case. Now next the valves a and c are made on and b and d are off then piston will move backward that is left hand side. So, what we have made we have made a and c on this is on as well as a. So, oil is going in this directions this is closed. So, oil cannot flow in this directions and oil has to go back to the tank. So, again normal return operations. Now valves b and c are made on b and c both these valves are made on and a and d off the piston will move forward that is right hand side with faster speed then in one. So, this must be regenerative for other combination of valve piston motions are unpredictable. That means if we now other than this if we connect in other may be c d or any at random you will find that this is not moving or it may move in one direction depending on the resistance here less than the resistance for the flow through any valve return to the tank. So, basically we should say this unpredictable. This means that while you are given a circuit like this for your self understanding or may be you have to in a question form you have to answer. You have to make a table like this you have to look into all possibilities and you have to write down what are the operations what are the motion possible with that combination of the valve. Now if I consider the other circuit that is for self exercise and let us consider this circuit. So, regenerative circuit the 7 here we have used 2 3 by 2 dc valve 2 3 by 2 dc valve and both are connected like this. Now let us consider that this side this when this connection is shown right hand side is the neutral conditions and the other connection is the operational conditions. Now both the valves looks same and they are same. Now if we let us consider B is in this position and A is connected that means we have connected this way then what will happen oil will go to this side and it will be back through this valve B. This means normal forward operation. So, you make a table and you write this for A is on B is neutral position it is not actually off because this is connected you can say this is off it has 2 positions this is automatically it will be in this position due to the spring. So, this is not operated and A is operated in that case normal forward motion. Now let us consider A is closed or on this normal its neutral position and B is open. So, this is normal return. Now what other combination may be say both are closed that means what is shown there in that case the flow is going to the tank no operation is there it is going back to the tank to the pressure relief valve there must have a pressure relief valve. Now if I connect both A on and B on in that case flow will be mixed. So, there will be a fast forward motion and regenerative circuit. So, make a table and write in this form right. Now we are taking another circuit in that case what we have taken this is a 4 by 3 valve, but centre is a specially connected this is neither closed centre nor open centre only thing the tank side is closed and other is as if this showing the regenerative path. In that case in neutral this is definitely neutral position in neutral condition regenerative forward motion is there, but for the other two connections there will be normal one is return motion and another is forward motion. Now let us consider by due to some reason it is here in this position the right most position and then this regenerative circuit is on the neutral positions when you have bought it in the neutral positions after these operations then what will happen only then there will be the flow through the pressure relief valve. You can write this note say while you are trying to answer this what will happen to this position you can write this in that case it will be there will be flow to the tank through the pressure relief valve. We are distinctly getting one normal forward motion, one regenerative motion and one return motion for the three valve positions, but it might be while it is in say suppose it was in this side and then we have bought this we have given this connection it was here and again we have given this connections. In that case also what will happen this oil is trying to go here and oil is trying to come back here, but this will go back to the tank. So, this you have to mention, but in this case there is no such position that unpredictable position is not there. Suppose this piston was at the middle positions and then one of them you have connected. So, at least one operation will be there it is not unpredictable in case where the flow was directly being connected to the tank comparison to other cases. Now, we shall consider the circuit 9 in that case this is 4 by 3 closed center DC valve normal valve and what it is this is 3 by 2 3 by 2 and neutral position it is connected in this way. So, what will happen if this is in neutral position and this is connected then there is no operation because oil is going back to the tank no operations, but definite not unpredictable. Now, if it is connected in the this side the right hand side then oil is. So, then this path is connected and this path is connected now what will happen this oil will go to this side, but this oil also go to this side or you can say then only this regenerative that means it is connected like this regenerative no it is like that you think twice say this is connected and this is connected then oil is going to this is moving and also this connection is there. So, this cannot go back to the tank oil is going there and oil is going here. So, what will happen in that case tell me it both sides are connected. So, oil can go both side. So, possibly this will act as in, but there is no connection in between. So, there is no chance of regenerative circuits. Now, let us consider that this is undecided now what happens we have connected this and we have made this connection in that case oil will return to this tank. So, this is normal forward operation now let us connect this one in that case oil is going to this and oil is going to this and oil is coming back through this and this is in neutral positions. So, in that case with this connection and in this neutral positions this normal return. Now, with this connections and this connection then oil is coming through this path and this is closed. So, oil is coming to this path that mean oil is not going here and then it is being mixed with this one. So, regenerative. So, one of that is unpredictable and with this connection we can have with this connection and this connection we can have regenerative. So, please you should make a table and say I would suggest. So, usually the pattern of questions are like that this circuit will be given you have to say what will be the operations. So, please make a table and you analyze your self analysis is required for this. Now, we shall consider another circuit that is in that case what we have used this is 4 by 3 DC valve closed center and this is 2 by 2 valve in that case let us consider this is a neutral positions. Obviously, as it is a closed center there is no flow no operation. Now, if we connect into the right side then this will be connected and this path will be connected. Now, once this is connected, but this is closed and this is closed the no operation again no operations, but in with this connection you can operate this. Suppose, you have operated this one then oil will go here and oil will try to go this side. In that case oil will go this side and oil from here will return to will return through this path sorry oil is coming back from this path because this is connected and oil is going through this path. So, this is normal operation no mixing it is not being mixed. Now, with this connection we connect A and B is closed in that case what will happen this oil will go to this side and also it is coming like this and oil will be mixed. So, A is operated means then only it is regenerative. Now, let us consider this is connected at both A and B are also connected. In that case oil will go like this it will try to go in this way and it will try it will go in this way also and as it is connected this oil will come back to the tank the no regeneration it is a oil will directly go back to the tank. Now, let us consider this connection C if the C is connected and then let us consider B is closed A is closed the no operations obviously. Now, this is I would say this is going like this and this connection is there. So, no operation now if B is open then oil is going like this and going trying to go this side as well as this side, but this it cannot go. So, it is normal backward operation because this connection is there. So, normal backward operation. So, this means that by combining these two valves we can get normal forward, regenerative and normal backward, but only for the cases when A and B are open then there will be no operation unpredictable. So, this you have to clearly mention for which operations valve combinations that there is no unpredictable that you have to mention. In some circuits you will find that there is unpredictable cases in some circuits there is no unpredictable cases there will be some operations. Now, in case of 11 what we find that the pump is connected to again this is by 4 by 3 valve only on the return side there is 1 2 by 2 valve and in that case if it is in the neutral position no operations if it is in the right hand positions then oil is going to this and as there is a check valve oil is going like this and oil is coming back to the tank no regenerations. We have connected this and no regeneration now we have connected this and we have operated also this valve in that case the oil is going like this oil cannot come back to the tank and it is being mixed so regenerative. So, right hand side and this operation putting into this positions there will be regenerative. Now, we have connected this one. So, oil is trying to go in this directions and oil from here is cannot go this way it is going to this path. Now, what we have done we have operated this one then this oil is trying to mix with this side, but there is no way. So, it can only circulate it is trying to circulate within this path this means that it will normal return there will be normal return because this oil can circulate there. Now, if it is circulate means full path is closed say this path it is closed no return. So, it will not be able to return it will not be able to return also do understand not unpredictable you have you see this you have operated this one. So, oil can go this way it can return and oil can come from this way and it can go back to tank if it is in the neutral position. But if you immediately put in this positions this oil is connected to here, but this oil cannot go back to the tank rather it will try to circulate means here is there is no volume displacement there is no scope the full path is full width oil and it is locked. So, it is a breaking condition, but you should not say no operation it has returned up to some length and then suddenly you have stopped. So, it will be in locked positions break positions. So, I think this is the end of the circuit and this is there is no reference I have not seen this article in any book one or two circuits only this circuits I have collected from an article even if there is no clue it is from which journal and it is from that article this is I have written what was written there and this analysis I have done of my own obviously, but I think it is correct and, but still I request you to please try to understand go through the exercise and find out what are the real possibilities before writing unpredictable you should think twice. Thank you.


El Camino is the Breaking Bad closure that some fans wanted, but didn't actually need. Let's talk about it. Breaking Bad is my favorite TV series, Full Stop. I think the characters are so well written, I think the story is just so different from everything you see normally on TV. Even the way it's filmed is very cinematic but creative at the same time. Plus you have these amazing performances from Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, it just everything works. You cannot watch the movie and not have seen the show from beginning to end. It will make no sense and even if you had seen the show from beginning to end, it's still a little hard here and there to kind of dissect what's going on where things are falling in the timeline because the movie does a lot of these flashback elements, which I was assuming it was going to do just based on the characters that are still alive. It's like we're not going to get much play here if we don't have some of these people come back in flashbacks. This is a movie that's made specifically with the fans in mind and it does feel like there's a bit of pandering to the audience going on. Maybe that's not the right word, but there's this like nostalgicness to it that I feel is kind of disingenuous like characters pop up here and there as almost just a tip of the hat or a wink to the audience instead of really driving the story. It doesn't seem like they're organically put in. It just seems like, hey, remember this person? He's in the movie for five minutes. In the intro of this quick review, I said that this is the movie that some fans wanted but didn't actually need. And that's because this breaking bad film, if you want to call it that, takes place directly after the events of the final season. Walter White is dead. Pinkman's on the run in his car. And we are uncertain as an audience if he's going to get caught by the cops or if he's going to make it to Alaska, which is where he kind of dreamt of being and it was alluded to that he might go there and actually start a new life, be a better person because he does have all the chances in the world. He's still young. He doesn't have cancer. I loved the Breaking Bad ending because of this. They did such a good job of wrapping up pretty much every storyline that it was nice to have one little, not even a cliffhanger, just an imaginative ending that the audience gets to dream up for the hero or the anti-hero, whatever you want to call Pinkman. It just works so well because you can look at it and say, as a realist, he's probably going to get caught by the cops, go to jail, do whatever.  Or you can have the more Hollywood fantastical approach and think, you know what? He's in Alaska. He's got a little woodworking shop. He's made a name for himself. He's made a new life for himself. I go back and forth on which way I wanted it, but now this movie robs us of that. It really, and it's not a bad movie. I just don't think it's that great either.  It's kind of like, you know, once again to bring up The Joker, it's the movie I didn't need, but it did a good job of being whatever it was. It's just I didn't really need it or want it, and I wasn't that entertained during it. This Breaking Bad movie is a very slow burn. It feels more like an episode of Better Call Saul than it does of Breaking Bad, I think. And that's because there isn't really much of substance that takes place. The things that Pinkman has to do don't have much meaning behind them. There isn't layer to them like the show used to have.  So it's really an hour, hour 15 of him trying to get out of dodge in another 45 minutes of these flashback scenes that are, you know, they're new. The characters have come back to reprise their roles. I won't say who they are if you haven't seen it. And that works sometimes and sometimes it's just a little like, eh, you didn't look like that.  They're not doing any CGI to make these people look younger or thinner. Meth Damon's back. I don't remember his character name. I always just called him Meth Damon because he looks like Matt Damon. He does meth on the show. And he, he looks like the actor gained a solid amount of weight, but he's supposed to be the same weight, you know, supposed to look the same as he did back when the show was going. That was a little bit jarring for me, although it has been a while since I watched Breaking Bad, but I feel like he was quite a bit thinner at the time. Aaron Paul also, he's older. It's like Legolas and the Hobbit. You can clearly see that they're, you know, they're more adult. They have their adult weight on them. They're beefier.  On the other side of things though, because I do love Breaking Bad so much, it was nice to watch more of it. Just any of it, you know, it's like when the Hobbit came out because I love The Lord of the Rings so much, even though the Hobbit movies aren't near as good, and you can arguably say they're bad, I enjoy them. But that's just because I enjoy Middle Earth and the characters that inhabit it. And I joke many times with friends saying, I could just watch, you know, Legolas eat a bowl of porridge for two hours straight, and I'm fine. I'm good. That's entertaining to me because I just like the character or Bilbo Baggins just, you know, walking the countryside. That's kind of where Breaking Bad is if this was not a Breaking Bad movie, if it was just its own thing. This film would not appeal to me at all. I would think it was boring, kind of just has a lot of unnecessary elements to it. And really, the story is so small and so, I guess, not meaningless, but it is kind of meaningless. Once again, it's like Rogue One. We didn't need Rogue One. The title crawl gave us the plot of the entire film. We didn't need a two-hour-plus movie to tell us. That was right before New Hope. So this is very much just an extended ending of what most people already assumed would happen with the character. One of two, there was one of two things. And that was Robbed. And yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I would recommend this. It doesn't feel like a movie. They call it a movie, but it's really just two more episodes of the show. There isn't that level of cinematic quality or music. There really isn't a whole lot of music in general outside of maybe one kind of funnier scene involving Meth Damon driving. Otherwise, yeah, it's just more of the show. But think of it more as Better Call Saul than Breaking Bad, level of kind of intensity and whatnot. This is on Netflix. If you are paying for that subscription, you have it there already. I do think it did open in some theaters, but I can't imagine many people are going to go to it there when most people have a subscription. This reviews all over the place like my car sides are. They're not structured. I'm just out doing some chores. So I thought I'd pull over and just review this quick for you, give you a few of my thoughts. Not a bad movie, just an unnecessary one. It's great to see these characters again. It makes me want to go watch the original again. And yeah, I don't know. I'm just torn on it. I think that something better could have been made. I just don't know what that is. Maybe just do more of the show somehow. I don't know.  Hollywood, dammit. I'm going to put this in Worth the Stream, but it's a cautionary Worth the Stream. If you are 100% satisfied with the end of Breaking Bad, you don't really have a desire to see more of it, then I wouldn't even watch this.  There's some good characters that show up. And I will say Aaron Paul is doing a fantastic job doing his character again. He pulls out all the stops. There's lots of great emotion from him.  So yeah, if you want to see more of him just kind of getting beat in and kicked around, then this is the movie for you. Thanks for joining me in the car. I'll see you next time.
