Family Guy's Most HATED Episode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed-wAB37IJM

That's a polarizing episode. I enjoyed it until the end, when IMO it
fell apart. The gag of the voice actors and characters interacting
didn't work for me.

What did you watch?

I watched more Star Trek Continues. s1e09, "What Ships Are For," has a fascinating premise: the team finds a world which is in black and white. There's an explanation about their sun, though it doesn't really make
any sense. This one was a little weaker than most, IMO, but it did
feature John de Lancie as Galisti, the leader of the inhabited asteroid they're supposed to help. At one point, Kirk launches into a Captain
Speech, and Galisti stands up and hands him his butt in a sling. That
was a lot of fun to watch. More people ought to cut off these
pontificating captains.

Kirk left Lt. Smith in charge of the bridge for a while. Can he do that?
I figured one had to be at least a commander to have control of the
vessel. Maybe it happened because Kipleigh Brown wrote the episode.

I also watched s1e10, the first part of "To Boldly Go," the two-parter
which wraps up the series. The Enterprise returns to the setting of its premiere, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," where the godmaker raises
humans to a more powerful state. A bunch of people have already used
it, and two dozen of them have now been kidnapped by the Romulans.
That's not good, but it gets worse.

I found it odd that the Romulans were even able to capture twenty-four
Gary Mitchells, but apparently they came in great force. I suppose it
seemed worth great risk for such a great reward.

I didn't expect it to be that ep; actually, I had forgotten about it.

I liked the concept, but would have liked it better had they used
a previous ep because I wanted to watch what they were commenting
on. The addition of the voice actors joining them was unnescesary
and didn't add anything of value,

That might work better, but for some reason none of the animated shows
do it that way.

Agreed. I enjoyed most of it, though.

I wonder how much does it cost to get the original actors to show up for
a fan film and how hard is it to get them. Just because you have the
cash in your pocket doesn't mean the actor wants to show up and do your project. These must be very well done.

What did everyone else watch?

On Friday the 13th I watched:


Friday the 13th (4K disc) 1980 horror movie about a group of teenage
camp counselors who get sliced and diced at a summer camp.


Friday the 13th Part 2 (blu-ray) 1981 sequel which finds a magically
aged up Jason picking up where his mother left off. This was mostly background noise with a commentary track.


Friday the 13th Part III (3D blu-ray) 1982 sequel which finds Jason once
again dealing with some teenage camp counselors. This time while
wearing a hockey mask. I wonder if the hockey mask will catch on?
Probably not. Jason is clearly killed at the end of this movie so
there's no way they can make any sequels. This is the new German 3D
import. As far as the much hyped new and improved 3D goes, all I have
to say is wow! The 3D on this disc delivers. And the movie is full of
Lots of gratuitous out of the screen, in your face 3D effects. The way
3D was meant to be. Not only did it seem like I could reach out and
touch the objects, but if I moved or shifted my position, the 3D object
would shift and follow me while sticking out of the screen. I'm not
saying it's Avatar or anything, but for a 1982 slasher flick, it was a
really nice effect.


A Nightmare on Elm Street (4K disc) 1984 horror movie starring Robert
Englund (the nice alien from V) as a dead child murderer who enters
dreams to kill teenagers. I have been eagerly waiting for months to
dive into my Elm Street 4K box set. Brand new 4K prints and Dolby Atmos sound. This is going to be fun!


A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (4K disc) The infamous
1985 sequel that has Freddy returning to pretty much ignore all the
rules established in the first movie.


It would be kind of cool if they made a movie where both Jason and
Freddy fought each other. Unfortunately, that's impossible because
these are two entirely different unrelated franchises. And they clearly killed off Jason at the end of part 3 and they killed off Freddy at the
end of part 2. Why are there even more discs in the box sets when the
main characters are clearly dead?

I suppose it's like any other project. If you want a particular actor,
you send the script and an offer.

These must be very well done.

Yes. I assumed they'd be pretty good for fan episodes, but they really
feel just like more ST:TOS, possibly even better because of all the love poured into every moment.

I'll probably check out some other fan productions after this one,
though I doubt they'll be quite as stellar.

I finished out the last two episodes of BALLARD on the Primes. The case is wrapped up but not without a cost: the killer took out one member of the Open-Unsolved Squad (and had a go at Ballard herself) before he was caught.
The other major case-- the corrupt cops working for the cartel-- was also resolved. Six of them were fired and charged but Olivas, the ringleader, made
a deal to turn on everyone else for immunity, so he walked free. He was the
one who tried to rape Ballard early in her career, so she was particularly furious about it and confronted Honey Chandler, the district attorney, about it. Good to see Mimi Rogers from BOSCH in a cameo here. Also Jamie Hector appears as J. Edgar, Bosch's old partner. But in the end, Olivas is murdered and we find this out when a marked unit shows up at Ballard's house and they arrest her for his murder. Fade to black.

This show is firing on all cylinders and really captures the spirit of the books. I was dubious at first about the choice to cast Maggie Q in the role since she's physically so much different than Connelly describes Ballard in
the books, but I take back my criticism. The killing of Rawls leaves a hole in the squad, which I'm hoping will be filled by Maddie Bosch (Madison Lintz)
next season, since she eventually joins the crew in the books.

I then watched the first episode of the second season of CROSS. Seems like
this time we have a serial killer, or more a revenge killer, on a crusade to wipe out an Epstein-list group of billionaires who are raping and murdering women with impunity. Alona Tal's role has been expanded. And I was surprised that she's an FBI agent. I could have sworn she was a reporter in the first season.

The reporter was a taller actress; it's something unpronouncible in
Canadian. In first season, Alona Tal's role was a bit part.

She's over 40. She doesn't look it.

As of the last update of the Wikipedia page, "Patterson" has written 31
Cross novels.

Something to look forward. Have not started this series but it is on
my list. Like Alona Tal since her days on SUPERNATURAL so her
appearance is something to look forward to.
