What did you watch?
I got through more grading yesterday (as predicted, it will take me
until today to finish the second exam...), but still managed to watch
more TV than I was expecting to:
soaps: Fri's ep's.
Ā Ā GH - Sonny goes to Dante, to basically imply that Dante shouldn't "trust" Dex (IOW, shouldn't allow him to become a cop); later, Dante
wonders to Sam if he shouldn't be a cop anymore (talk about an overreaction!!). Carly goes to Sonny's to confront him, and after
swatting Ava away, confronts Sonny and tells him she won't allow their daughter to come over anymore. She then becomes convinced that Sonny
"isn't taking his medication" with (a guilty!) Ava looking on. Josslyn discusses whether she should carry on her path to med school with Trina,
and later spies Dex and is clearly not over him.
Ā Ā DOOL - A drunk Leo spills the beans to EJ, but stupidly doesn't get
any extorted money out of it. EJ races over to confront Sloan, who
informs EJ that the baby isn't his!! Eric figures out that Leo has been blackmailing Sloan, and races over to confront him, but finds nothing
but a sad sack of drunk in Leo. Constantine manages to "activate" the
pawn to successfully steal the prenup out of Maggie's safe. Holly is all stressed out about school, and has to have Marlena calm her down.
golf - At the Byron Nelson in Dallas, Day 3 leader Jake Knapp kind of
fell apart on Day 4. This allowed Canuck Taylor Pendrith to vault into
the lead to win it. American Ben Kohles came in second. (As you can see,
none of the "big names" played this one apparently.)
My Life Is on the Line (Lifetime) - This was actually a pretty good
thriller. Unfortunately, the setting and background made it hard to
watch - the lead (Andrea Pazmino) is a hardscrabble loser, apparently in
the midst of divorce, who works at a bank call center. She has to meet
with a mediator (about custody of her son?), but her clueless,
unsympathetic (and useless - as she's not available when needed)
supervisor boss won't let her have the time off.
Ā Ā Of course, she also gets conned by a caller who doesn't have the passcode for his "wife's account", but who claims she just had a medical emergency, and who needs to money "immediately" to pay the medical
bills. (It's the kind of story that, if you think about it for a second, doesn't make any sense!) Of course, the downbeat loser of a mom approves
the money transfer without supervisor's approval.
Ā Ā She fairly soon realizes that she's been conned when the real "wife"
on the account calls in to find out why her account has been frozen!
Ā Ā The rest of the flick is the woman trying to scramble to block the transfer while the original caller starts to lean on her to complete the fraudulent transfer anyway.
Ā Ā Parts of this were a good thriller. But parts were hard to watch because the main character has such a shitty life/job, which she will
likely lose when her mistake is made public.

Is this set in the present day?
What did you watch?
I watched:
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (4K disc)
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (4K disc)
War for the Planet of the Apes (4K disc) 2017 sequel which picks up
where the last movie ended.
Tales of the Empire (Disney+) - This is the second season of an animated anthology series set in the Star Wars universe.Ā I binged through all
six episodes.Ā The first three episodes gave the backstory for "Morgan Elsbeth" who was one of the main villains on Ahsoka.
The second half
gave the back story of "Barriss Offee" who was a former Jedi who worked
for the empire as an inquisitor before turning good again.Ā I was not familiar with this character but apparently she appeared in other shows.

They never mentioned how much he was being paid for that job. It's
entirely possible he was only an hour or two away when he heard about
this case. So even if it only paid a $1000 or it wouldn't be that big
a deal. Plus there was the added benefit of his sister working there
(which is likely the main reason he took the job.)
Trackers hot sister happens to work there so he sort of spends some time
sort of reconnecting with her because after all the missing kid isnāt a
priority. She keeps asking why she hardly ever hears from him and the
answer seems to be because heās an uncaring dick.
Yeah, apparently his time with his dad and what happened with his
brother left him disconnecting from everyone.
So all kinds of weird stuff surrounds the missing grad student, including a >> lame couple who make their living, getting people to pay them to troll

Yeah, I didn't get how those pics were going to get the college
student to go along with them. I mean he supposedly got himself a hot
woman who was into kinky stuff would just enhance his stance in
college.
Big stupid abounds. Sister texts tracker where and when for their dinner
and gets a confirmation reply from him and yet because heās busy sitting in
his trailer waiting to hear about a clue he manages to completely forget
about it.
Just shows how he ignores everything not involving his work.
The big bad who telegraphed himself in the very first scene at the college >> doesnāt want to kill the missing kid, but the little bad does so the big >> bad murders the little bad in cold blood to keep from having to kill

At that point I don't think he was thinking clearly. Not sure he ever
was.
Siblings talk about their mother, but go back-and-forth between past and
present tense Like they arenāt sure if sheās alive or not, but apparently
they are both sure the other brother is alive so weāll get more family
drama, which is the worst part of the show.
Agreed. I'm not clear on if the mother is alive or not after that
convo. Perhaps the writers aren't sure so they intentionally left it
murky.
The black computer expert guy gets one unbelievably stupid scene where
tracker gets the little badās cute wife to give up their password so they >> can send a text message to the big bad that says āI have the evidence meet >> meā but instead of just letting her send it they have the computer expert >> guy remotely forge her account and send it for her.

That felt like the computer guy needed to hit a certain number of
lines or screen time so they gave him that filler scene.
Thereās another incredibly stupid scene where tracker asks the missing kid >> how heās doing even though itās the same evening and tells him heās about

the hell?
Time works differently in the world of the TRACKER. So the mom can
know what is happening with the bad guy while still talking to the
Tracker and her son about what happened that day. She lives in the
future and the current day at the same time.

No, dub dub ghosted me.
I watched a bunch of episodes of 'Highlander: The Animated Series',
ripped from Netflix discs. A pretty run of the mill Saturday morning
cartoon that barely had anything to do with the original Highlander.
(Much like several of the sequel movies.)
in my Netflix disc queue that I have no idea why these many years later.
Which won't stop me from watching the rest of the series.

Yes, that's right. I had forgotten about seeing Wendy Crewson in one

Thatās why they were striking for writers rooms.
IMDb lists a written by guy and a staff writer as well in addition to the >creator and the developer.
Most of the episodes have one or two written by and one or two staff
writers. But the writing credits get shorter with each episode! They
dumped the story editor after episode three. I suspect the staff writer is >there just to keep track of the ongoing storyline and the written by does
the case of the week. Almost none of the written by people have done more >than one episode.
I would like to point out that one of the writers is a real cutie pie

On Cinco de Mayo, I watched:
What did you watch?
TRACKER āBeyond the Campus Wallsā
Big stupid abounds. Sister texts tracker where and when for their dinner
and gets a confirmation reply from him and yet because heās busy sitting in
his trailer waiting to hear about a clue he manages to completely forget >>>>>> about it.
Just shows how he ignores everything not involving his work.
I would feel better about it if he had not texted her back a confirmation. >>>>
Agreed.
The big bad who telegraphed himself in the very first scene at the college
doesnāt want to kill the missing kid, but the little bad does so the big
bad murders the little bad in cold blood to keep from having to kill >>>>>> anybody and then drags the kid away because I have no fucking idea what his
plan was.
At that point I don't think he was thinking clearly. Not sure he ever >>>>> was.
Fair point. Heās got a pretty good argument that he saved the kidnap >>>> victim and tracker shot him for no good reason.
You have to wonder how they prosecute any of these cases when trackers gone
by nightfall.
True. Given that often the only actual evidence of the criminal acts
would be the testimony by the Tracker.
Siblings talk about their mother, but go back-and-forth between past and >>>>>> present tense Like they arenāt sure if sheās alive or not, but apparently
they are both sure the other brother is alive so weāll get more family >>>>>> drama, which is the worst part of the show.
Agreed. I'm not clear on if the mother is alive or not after that
convo. Perhaps the writers aren't sure so they intentionally left it >>>>> murky.
Didnāt we see the mother in the first episode? Wasnāt she the woman he >>>> visited that had the fatherās grave in her yard?
Yes, that's right. I had forgotten about seeing Wendy Crewson in one
of the episodes. So she must be alive but Tracker never sees her
because he never revisits with anyone.
IMDB says she was in the pilot and the second episode where tracker had to >> rescue the guy being held by the cult. But I suspect she mustāve literally >> phoned in the second appearance. And that seems to be the end of it.
The black computer expert guy gets one unbelievably stupid scene where >>>>>> tracker gets the little badās cute wife to give up their password so they
can send a text message to the big bad that says āI have the evidence meet
meā but instead of just letting her send it they have the computer expert
guy remotely forge her account and send it for her. Why? And then they >>>>>> forget completely about her character at the end, even though she should be
doing a long stretch in prison.
That felt like the computer guy needed to hit a certain number of
lines or screen time so they gave him that filler scene.
Yeah, Iām picturing the meeting where the one suit said to the other āwe
have to pay this guy anywayā
Thereās another incredibly stupid scene where tracker asks the missing kid
how heās doing even though itās the same evening and tells him heās about
to get good news and the kid gets an update from his mother about them >>>>>> putting the big bad away forever, even though this is like an hour later,
and apparently the kid who is the witness and the only witness to the >>>>>> murder Hasnāt even been talking to the police. His mother has instead. What
the hell?
Time works differently in the world of the TRACKER. So the mom can
know what is happening with the bad guy while still talking to the
Tracker and her son about what happened that day. She lives in the
future and the current day at the same time.
That would explain it.
It's the only way I could explain what was happening in that scene.
You have to wonder what the writer was thinking. Or are we in another
situation where we have multiple writers working on the same episode
AND not bothering to read over the other's work.
Thatās why they were striking for writers rooms.
IMDb lists a written by guy and a staff writer as well in addition to the
creator and the developer.
Most of the episodes have one or two written by and one or two staff
writers. But the writing credits get shorter with each episode! They
dumped the story editor after episode three. I suspect the staff writer is >> there just to keep track of the ongoing storyline and the written by does
the case of the week. Almost none of the written by people have done more
than one episode.
I would like to point out that one of the writers is a real cutie pie
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2043307/mediaviewer/rm104070913?ref_=ext_shr_lnk >>
Agreed, but notice she only has one writing credit. I repeat, 1!!!
writing credit.
The greater Natalie Morales is still on GRAY'S ANATOMY and seems
likely to be there going into next season. As she's the main surgeon >>>>> on the show who works on kids in addition to Camilla Luddington's
character. Dub Dub is still awaiting Fred's call.
No, dub dub ghosted me.
She's still waiting for you to find her and apologize for being male.
Since sheās now switched teams and come out as gay I donāt know if she >> wants that apology more or less than before.
And, yes, I blame myself.
Anim8rfsk turning women gay one woman at a time.

Isn't that a way to deny having to pay Mark Harmon?

did 'The Congress' because it was also live action. 'Yellow Submarine' because, well, Beatles. :D And 'Star Trek: The Animated Series'
because it will mess with some people's heads when I post them. :D
Saturday morning cartoons? Nah, nope, not worth the time.
