Native tantalum metal with some niobium and traces of manganese and gold occurs sparingly in Russia in placers in the Ural Mountains and possibly the Altai Mountains in Central Asia. Rwanda is the world’s largest extractor of tantalum.

All in all this first season didn't live up to my expectations. It's riddled with the cliché's of the genre and has little to no historical value I expected from it. This isn't a series about the Knight's Templar or their downfall, this is about Landry and his mistress. Even the "big bad" De Nogaret fails to be memorable. The whole secret society aspect doesn't come through, the Spanish plot, the Pope... in fact nothing comes through in the end.
It's a shame there are so little good shows and movies about the Crusade-era as I'm there's a wealth of religious and political plots to be harvested for a decent show.
Star Trek: The Next Generation carries on without creator Gene Roddenberry in its sixth season. Season 6 also marks the launch of Trek’s first spin-off series, Deep Space Nine, and its first cross-over episode “Birthright.” Yet this branching off comes with the loss of Colm Meaney from the recurring cast, along with several others from TNG’s creative team. Still, the writers deliver a number of impressive episodes, including “True Q,” “Chain Of Command,” “Ship in a Bottle,” and “Rightful Heir.” And, such guest stars as Olivia d’Abo, Ronny Cox, and original series cast member James Doohan beam aboard. Season 6 of Star Trek: The Next Generation continues to deliver entertaining adventures, but somehow it seems a little less ambitious than previous seasons; sticking to what has worked in the past rather than boldly going where no one has gone before.
Solid season with many great moments. The Ben story arc definitely dragged the season down a little though. The acting towards the end of that arc was phenomenal, and it was resolved beautifully, but the lead up was a little tiresome. Even still, Ozark keeps on proving that it's one of the best shows available to watch at this current time.
Season 2 just felt... Empty to me. What a waste of a very talented cast. At least the episodes are short, so it's easy to binge. So, there's that.
Well, would have fit into a two hour move much better than into a 10 hour show ...
This will be a comment from someone that was too young to see star trek first series :P
So
i enjoyed quite a lot this. Im also watching the Discovery Spin off
Must say that watching the Michelle Hurd here surprised me, wasnt expecting to see her side like this eheh
For me, i think all actours went really nice the way they interacted with each other, and the dialogues went really well
To finish, hope they make a second season at least, i suppose yes, because the end more or less left a open space for that. My bet will be 3 seasons and then no more. Im not a big fan of 10 seasons... ok ok ok Maybe for Fringe i would have enjoyed ehehhehe
best season so far i would say
The beginning and the last two episodes were quite a disappointment for me: after starting off rather weak, the season gets better and reaches previous heights and greatness. I especially liked how the season seemed to culminate towards the final: "Letters of Transit" was brilliant!
BUT then the final came, a double-feature, and it was a huge let down! How could the blow it like that?!?! Hopefully Season 5 will be more along the line of 4x19 than 4x21!
While the production itself is still very good the second season just wasn't as exciting as the first one. I feel like I've treaded water the whole time, waiting for a ship to come to pick me up. But it never came.
While the arc for Freydis did somewhat close out within the season, both Harald and Leif fell in the background. They were pretty much traveling on the Love Boat to Konstantinopel for most of the season. It all seems to be kind of a precursor for things to be happen next season. But I wonder if we really needed a whole season to be prepare for that.
Well, time will tell. But while I was very exciting after the first season I'm less so after this one.
Don’t quite see the hype yet but an enjoyable introductory season overall. Really like Rip’s character and Walker interests me too and you can definitely sense some tension brewing between the two. The chemistry between the latter and Beth will only stir things up. Kayce’s arc lost momentum towards the end of the season but coming back to the ranch is a big moment for him. Jamie I don’t really care for at the moment. Onto season 2!
Granted, this series is 25 years old - but there just are no good law programmes on right now, so I have to fall back on this.
This short 1st season introduces the setting, some of the protagonists, even if their background remains unexplored for now.
One of the appeals of Sex Education is how it merges the current world with the aesthetics of the 1980s, giving it a timeless and John Hughes’s movies vibe. Season 4, however, is set in a modern school, in a sort of utopia where everyone acts correctly all the time and if someone is cancelled all they have to do is apologise, so the 80s aesthetic feels off.
While it expands its LGBTQIA+ characters, they come off as unauthentic and boring, sometimes only to separate the existing characters or to plotlines similar to previous seasons. Even their outrage over society problems comes off as fake.
The only good storyline worth watching was the development of Adam and Michael relationship.
It’s a sad closure to an otherwise great series.
It's too much for the last season. Too much PC, too many new characters, too many matters.
I’ve really enjoyed this show over the years. It’s funny, entertaining and sex positive. Each season, the show addressed important topics in the realm of sex and relationships. They gave voice to those in marginalized groups. Not only did I have fun watching the show, but I also learned a lot. I came to love many of the characters for their flaws as much as their strengths. The moral of the story was to speak your truth, let others know how you feel- that’s the key to great relationships and understanding in the world.
