Free with day trial. Taken for a Mug By: Laura E Simms Narrated by: Long Dark Shadow By: Crash and Burn By: Horses for Courses By: Nine Weeks on Tuesday By: Katniss finds a seriously wounded Peeta and nurses him back to health. When all of the other tributes are dead, the rule change is abruptly revoked. With neither willing to kill the other, Katniss comes up with a solution: This forces the authorities to concede just in time to save their lives. During and after the Games, Katniss develops genuine feelings for Peeta and struggles to reconcile them with what she feels for Gale.
Haymitch warns her that the danger is far from over. The authorities are furious at being made fools of, and the only way to try to allay their anger is to pretend that her actions were because of her love for Peeta. On the journey home, Peeta is dismayed to learn of the deception. In Catching Fire , which begins six months after the conclusion of The Hunger Games , Katniss learns that her defiance in the previous novel has started a chain reaction that has inspired rebellion in the districts.
President Snow threatens to harm Katniss' family and friends if she does not help to defuse the unrest in the districts and marry Peeta. Meanwhile, Peeta has become aware of Katniss' disingenuous love for him, but he has also been informed of Snow's threats, so he promises to help keep up the act to spare the citizens of District Katniss and Peeta tour the districts as victors and plan a public wedding.
While they follow Snow's orders and keep up the ruse, Katniss inadvertently fuels the rebellion, and the mockingjay pin she wears becomes its symbol. District by district, the citizens of Panem begin to stage uprisings against the Capitol. Snow announces a special 75th edition of the Hunger Games—known as the Quarter Quell —in which Katniss and Peeta are forced to compete with other past victors, effectively canceling the wedding. At Haymitch's urging, the pair teams up with several other tributes, and manages to destroy the arena and escape the Games.
Katniss is rescued by the rebel forces from District 13, and Gale informs her that the Capitol has destroyed District 12, and captured both Peeta and their District 7 ally, Johanna Mason. Katniss ultimately learns—to her surprise—that she had inadvertently been an integral part of the rebellion all along; her rescue had been jointly planned by Haymitch, Plutarch Heavensbee , and Finnick Odair , among others.
After some hesitation Katniss joins the rebels. Mockingjay , the third and final book in The Hunger Games series, was released on August 24, Most of the districts have rebelled against the Capitol, led by District 13 and its President Alma Coin. The Capitol lied about the district being destroyed in the Dark Days.

After a Mexican standoff with the Capitol, the District 13 residents took to living underground and rebuilding their strength. The District 12 survivors find shelter with them. Katniss, after seeing first-hand the destruction wrought on her district, agrees to become the "Mockingjay", the symbol of the rebellion. She sets conditions, however. Katniss also demands the privilege of killing Snow, but Coin only agrees to flip for the honor.
For her sake, a rescue mission is mounted that succeeds in rescuing Peeta, Johanna and Annie. However, Peeta has been brainwashed to kill Katniss, and he tries to choke her to death upon their reunion. He undergoes experimental treatment to try to cure him. After she recovers, Katniss and a team known as the Star Squad, composed of Gale, Peeta, Finnick, a camera crew , and various other soldiers, are assigned to film propaganda in relatively quiet combat zones.
Katniss, however, decides to go to the Capitol to kill Snow, pretending that Coin gave her that mission. Most of the squad are killed along the way, including recently married Finnick. As Katniss approaches Snow's mansion, she sees a group of Capitol children surrounding it as human shields. Suddenly a hovercraft drops silver parachutes on the children, who reach for them, hoping they bear food.
Some of the parachutes explode, creating carnage. The advancing rebels send in medics , including Prim. Then the rest of the parachutes blow up, killing Prim, just as she spots her sister.

Coin then asks the surviving victors to vote on a final Hunger Games, involving the children of high-ranking Capitol officials including Snow's granddaughter. Katniss and Haymitch cast the deciding votes in favor of the scheme.
by Laura E Simms
However, at what is supposed to be Snow's execution, Katniss instead kills Coin with her bow. Snow laughs, then dies. Katniss is tried, but the jury believes she was mentally unfit, and she is sent home to District Both Katniss' mother and Gale take jobs in other districts. Peeta regains his sanity. Paul is on a business trips to Nagoya, as a computer-chip executive from New York, when he meets a beautiful and mysterious woman.
Later, he finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong When Connor MacLeod sees his old friend Rachel die in an explosion, he's had it with his immortal life and the endless pain it brings him and those he loves. He locks himself inside the Sanctuary, a Watcher-organized retreat stationed on holy ground, where immortals who are tired of the game can go to forever escape it, as well as to ensure that The Prize never falls into the wrong hands.
But when an old enemy, Jacob Kell, and his posse of assassins attack the Sanctuary and kill everyone there but Connor, he is forced out into the open and into battle. Kell and Connor were friends once, and knew each other back when Connor was cast from Glenfinnan; he returned when news came that his mother was to be burned at the stake, and in the attempt to free her, Kell was killed by none other than Connor himself, and became an immortal, bitter with hate, and devoted to making Connor's life a living hell.
Loved the first movie. Hated the sequels I pretend they were never made. Never saw the TV series, though I knew about 'Duncan'.
Hunter Saga
I tackled the 'Endgame' DVD with trepidation. Now it's been added to my I-want-this-one-! How did Connor get from being 'the One' to being 'just one' - and what's the deal with a whole plethora of these guys being around and more waiting? The series purportedly explains that. This I can live with. The movie itself made up for it very well. Lambert exited with grace and honour, and just in time before his age really becomes an issue.
I didn't know much about Adrian Paul, but after Endgame I think he's an excellent 'successor' to Lambert. I also hope they leave 'Kate' in. It'd be a nice change to the tone and pace. So, it looks like there's still hope for the Highlander movie franchise - in that they don't have to be crap as they had been. They nicely resurrected the mystical air of the first movie and the villain had a nice motivation for his actions revenge is a GREAT motivator - much better than lust for power!
I noticed the overall negative comments from fans and critics alike. It's to be expected. Fans generally don't like change much they usually want more of the same, and killing Connor off just HAD to rile them, never mind that it's the best thing they could do with the aging Lambert, who was definitely starting to look very tired , and critics are losers anyway that's why they've become critics.
Also, it seems to be that Adrian Paul brings an air of character-depth to the part that Lambert, as an actor, was never capable of exhibiting not without signifcant overacting. So, all around it's a winner. Explore popular and recently added TV series available to stream now with Prime Video. Start your free trial.
