I watched:

STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU A *BAIT* AND *SWITCH*? | THE EMPIRE *STRIKES OUT* SOURCE CLAIMS!:
Disney Star Wars seems to have a phobia about succeeding. They've taken one
of the biggest franchises in history and screwed up every single chance
they've had to engage fans...well my friends, according to a source, they're about to screw up yet again with The Mandalorian and Grogu! How are they
going to do that exactly? Here's what my Hollywood spies have told me! #starwars #disney #themandalorian https://youtu.be/WFMPWdzlfGM?si=0OAemtEjAWcsc1g7

*HUGE* STAR TREK RUMORS! IS WB BUYING TREK? IS KURTZMAN DONE? MASSIVE UPDATE!: Things are heating up on the Star Trek front! Over the weekend I received a TON of updates about the alleged negotiations for Warner Brothers to buy Star Trek from Paramount. Is Skydance standing in the way? Is Kurtzman finished?
I potentially have some INCREDIBLY GOOD NEWS if the rumors are true, this video is cram packed with information, and I saved the best for last, so watch this video to the end people! There may be a glimmer of hope for Star Trek after all! #startrek #warnerbros #paramountplus https://youtu.be/RsIeqDZaQx4?si=Z0xMqjlCZVrjaNie

3 NEW INSANE UFO Clips EXPLAINED! San Diego Sphere & Giant Triangle UAP DEBUNKED! #Episode 7:
In this show we’re exploring and debunking recent viral UFO videos posted on platforms like Twitter, YouTube and Reddit. In todays episode we’re explaining 3 UFO / UAP clips that went viral recently! The first one is the famous San Diego Sphere footage, which is some of the sharpest, clearest UFO footage out there. Apparently it’s available in 4k! Then we’ll look at the best triangle UFO Clip I’ve ever seen. It shows a giant triangular UAP with 3 red glowing lights on the bottom. And last but not least we explore a red light, zipping across the sky. I hope you enjoy. https://youtu.be/397rVr-J9CU?si=1UPiONy59hpxUTwa

VANDERPUMP RULES:
"Written In The Stars". The group begins to mend their friendships; Lala expresses her desire to become a mother again; Scheana cries to Lisa about
her insecurities with Ariana; Sandoval is forced to recognize he may never
get closure with the woman he loves.

I'm going to have to watch this again because I was bored and forgot the comments I was going to make. I am getting tired of Katie and Arianna being bitter bitches, but I was amused at them talking about being "frozen out" of the group when they've been doing it fine on their own.

The "later this season" trailer at the end did not make me interesting in watching the rest of this season.

WELCOME TO PLATHVILLE:
"So Foul and Fair a Day I Have Not Seen". Kim nervously shares her dating news with Moriah and Lydia; Moriah decides to unblock and text Ethan and is taken aback by his response; Olivia hits her breaking point when she realizes Ethan is up to his old ways.

• Ethan and Olivia go ice-fishing. Maybe it's me, but I would be too nervous about the ice breaking to enjoy myself!

• Moriah and Lydia saw thru Kim's nonsense and correctly suspected Kim's been dating for longer than she claims. I enjoyed watching Kim squirm because she assumed they'd automatically believe whatever she told them.

• Moriah (when did she get so many tattoos?) tells Ethan via text message that she forgives him but refuses to take responsibility for her own actions. That's not how it works, little girl.

• After seeing his friends (I cannot believe he doesn't know the dietary buzzwords in Hollywood!), he calls Ethan and asks if he's mad at him. Hello? You took Moriah's side when she bad-mouthed Olivia!

• Ethan and Olivia plan on picking up one of his cars in Florida. I don't understand why she wants to see the youngest daughters or why she even thinks Barry or Kim will allow her to see them. Ethan isn't helping by making plans and then lying thru omission. I did have to take her side about not letting Michah stay with them, but she should have explained it so Ethan could understand.

I am getting tired of this show and these people.

week long so while I've enjoyed watching James Spader chew the scenery
I haven't bothered with discussing each episode as I've watched since
they've all been discussed long ago.

Other than that about all I've watched was a good deal of Youtube.

Cute. I coined the phrase and I don’t really remember what the first

I watched:

Night Court - "Wheelers of Fortune" - The Wheelers are back! And there
luck is as bad as ever. The episode was a bit underwhelming. I think
they relied too much on nostalgia to sale this episode. But at least
the finally brought the characters back.

What did you watch?

I spent an hour dealing with Comcast's tech support when my TV said it
wasn't getting any signal from the cable box. By the time I got
everything working again I was too tired and fed up with the universe to actually watch any of my DVR recordings. So instead I watched a DVD.

Dogfights, S1E01 Mig Alley
A 2005 History Channel show about notable historical dogfights with
interviews with the surviving pilots and historians intermixed with CGI recreations of the combat. The show does a good job of providing the background for context and walks through the dogfight step by step,
explaining the tactics and reasons.
"Robinson Risner flew an F-86 Saber in Korea at the dawn of the jet age.
There, with a hunter's persistence, he pursued his prey whether Korean,
Chinese or Russian leading to some dramatic air combat adventures. In
1953 Ralph Parr leads a flight of four Sabres hunting sixteen MiG 15s
leading to an extended dogfight. The improvements from the 1951 F-86A to
the 1953 F-86F gave Parr a decisive advantage."
This episode covers several combats during the Korean War.

It depends on what you wanted:

If you just wanted Spader chewing the scenery, then it was good all the
way up to the end (those episodes *sans Spader* excepted!).

But if you actually wanted *answers* to everything, then the show
*sucked*, almost from the beginning.

Either way, the series finale was one of the worst series finales I have
ever seen, rivaling ST:Voyager for pure suckage!

Other than that about all I've watched was a good deal of Youtube.

I have gotten seriously behind on S2 of this. But I'm not doing a
streaming TV series right now, so maybe I can catch up.

MURDOCH MYSTERIES
I was bored stiff with this one, which was apparently written with BTR in
mind. It’s all about music and composing music and writing music and transposing music and how hot girls like you if you do those things before
you end up dead.

PASSWORD
An antique coal, burning black-and-white episode that the DVR decided to
record for reasons unclear to me.


VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
The entire series showed up on the Plex in extremely lower than SD format
and apparently running it about 12 frames per second but the audio was OK
so they were good enough to sleep to.


ANGRY FRED PLANET.
The prime offered me this as the “original version“.
I can’t find anywhere what other version there would be.
This is the thing with the rat bat spider that I’ve seen clips from 1000 times but never actually sat down and watched.
I wish they’d actually made it to the city!
There’s a flaming redhead for Ian.

I've either never seen this, or I saw in "Svenghoolie" as a kid, and
don't remember it...

Unless it ends with them discovering they are androids (and, there's,
like, a creepy "surgery" scene!) - if so, I remember it vividly, and
have been trying to track it down ever since!!

And then tonight the fire stick gave me an ad saying you could buy it (apparently from the prime) in 4K.

But they lied.

Even the gray only has rips from the DVDs.
