I watched:

FAMILY TIES
While Alex goes on a business trip with his female boss, the rest of
the family struggle with remodeling their kitchen.

FAMILY TIES
A clip show disguised as a "battle of the sexes" ep.

People used to think this was funny?

ONE DAY AT A TIME
Schneider gets arrested for helping the fabulous babe selling
something illegal called "football cards" in order to raise money for
her spring break vacation. Luckily, she confessed after he refused to
rat her out and she wasn't charged in exchange for ratting out the guy
who gave her the cards to sell.

ONE DAY AT A TIME
Ann is hospitalized from a heart attack. Sadly, it was not fatal.

My Internet was down all evening, so no PCB townnight.

Clip shows are the worst.

I remember liking it as a kid. Of course, there wasn't much on, so just
about any sitcom counted as entertainment.

I watched more Star Trek Continues. S1e04, "The White Iris," shows Kirk dealing with guilt over past failures. He hallucinates four women from
his past and a mysterious child, and ur zhfg ernpu n erfbyhgvba jvgu
rnpu bs gurz va beqre gb ergevrir n cnffjbeq. This was less like
traditional ST:TOS -- it felt a little like ST:TNG -- but it was
watchable and interesting, and Vic Mignogna sure acted the hell out of
the Kirk role. He's good, though I do wonder what he's like when he's
not doing a close William Shatner imitation.

S1e05, "Divided We Stand," was back to full ST:TOS homage. Information-
hungry nanites invade the Enterprise computer, then transfer to Kirk's
and McCoy's brains. Spock gets the critters out of the computer, but
getting them out of the humans is harder. Meanwhile, Kirk and McCoy
share a hallucination of being back in the Earth-USA civil war, with
this going badly enough that McCoy must amputate Kirk's leg, which
causes Kirk's leg to begin dying in real life.

At the end, I had the feeling that this show may be *better* than
ST:TOS. I really liked the cinematography in the recovery scene, and the treatment of disability was sensitive without slipping into pity. The
plot dovetailed just beautifully.

I also watched some American Dad reruns.

Sounds like a video game.

On Wednesday I watched:


Star Trek Starfleet Academy (Paramount+) "Rubicon" - season 1 finale.
With the entire federation in trouble, it's up to a plucky group of
first year cadets to save the universe from the evil scene chewing Paul Giamatii. It was an OK finale.


Train Dreams (Netflix) 2025 movie starring Joel Edgerton and a bunch of
other people I didn't notice. It has 4 Academy Award nominations
including Best Picture, so I had no choice but to watch. But it was
mind numbingly boring! It took me several days to wind my way through
this movie. I finally watched the last 10 or so minutes last night.
So, what's it about? It's about an hour and 40 minutes of nothing
happening! That's what it's about. Supposedly it follows 80 years in
the life of a man who works for the railroad. I think there might have
been a scene or two with a train. And at some point, in the movie, he
might have had a dream.


Hamnet (Peacock) This is another Academy Award nominated movie. It
looked too boring to go see in the theater (and I'm saying that as
someone who likes period pieces) but I just saw the other day that it
was available to stream for free, I figured this is my lucky day, I can
watch it before the Academy Awards air this weekend. I watched most
last night and finished it this morning. The movie is a biopic about
William Shakespeare and how he wrote Hamlet after the death of his son
Hamnet. It turns out my initial impression based on the trailers that
this would be a boring movie was correct. Not *as* mind numbly boring
as "Train Dreams" but a close second!

What happened to my pretentious arthouse flicks? They used to be entertaining, now they're just boring. I'm not saying I need every
movie to have a time traveling killer cyborg or an alien that has acid
for blood, but can at least *something* interesting happen in the movie?
Is that really too much to ask for?


I noticed that Peacock also has "Song Sung Blue" available to stream for
free. That's another Academy Award nominated movie. This one starring
Hugh Jackman. I'll get that watched before the weekend. I don't know
if it's good or bad, but I'm pretty sure it won't be boring.
