This one follows Lily Wilder ( Something Wilder - get it? El oh el), who grew up as the daughter of the late, and notorious, treasure hunter Duke Wilder, and who now uses her absentee father’s rare, highly-coveted hand-drawn maps to guide tourists on fake treasure hunts through the maze of canyons scattered throughout Utah. This wasn't my favorite in the CL ouvre (that would be Love and Other Words, The Unhoneymooners, or The Soulmate Equation), but I appreciated them doing something different - this was kinda, sorta, maybe a little bit of an adventure-thriller?! (At times, at least.) I was *not* expecting that. Have you ever seen the 1994 Meryl Streep cinematic classic, The River Wild? The one that features Kevin Bacon in one of his most deranged (and shirtless) roles ever? And a perfect yellow lab named Maggie? And also is the reason why I wholeheartedly believe that David Strathairn can get it? Yes? No? Anyway, Something Wilder by dynamic writing duo Christina Lauren reminded me of it, big time (as well as Without a Paddle and Romancing the Stone).

No. He added, "This is addressing that for our larger mythology of the Fast universe to go: Why is Deckard Shaw now part of the Fast family? How could Dominic Toretto and the rest of the team accept this murderer into the fold? And this explains it. I think in, fans were questioning why would the person who killed the beloved family member be accepted into the family circle?" He thinks I'm coming there to enact revenge, but I'm there to bring him into the fold to finally explain and give justice to the fans. So I could go and hide and raise this adopted daughter of mine and be discreet," Kang shared with Insider. Nobody set up Deckard to fake my death, but Deckard did not know that. What is that justice? Is it to pound on Deckard for 'killing' me? He didn't. "This theme of 'Justice for Han,' Han comes to see Deckard for justice. The palace, an old, low, Syrian building of whitened mud, is not so ugly as Buckingham Palace and the officers in the courtyard are more highly civilized than modern English officers: for example, they do not dig up the corpses of their dead enemies and mutilate them, as we dug up Cromwell and the Mahdi. Below them are two notable drawbacks of civilization: a palace, and soldiers. The stars and the cloudless sky are our own contemporaries, nineteen and a half centuries younger than we know them but you would not guess that from their appearance. A great radiance of silver fire, the dawn of a moonlit night, is rising in the east.
