This man is after my own heart. Hotel breakfast is a marvelous thing.

I'll probably check both of those out.

What did you watch?

I watched The Masque of Mandragora, a Doctor Who episode from the Tom
Baker era, as part of a rec.arts.drwho watch party. It's a solid
episode, though not often listed as a classic. Renaissance Italy gets
saved from an evil energy helix.

I also watched the latest from the rebooted Scrubs, s1e04, "My Poker
Face." JD and Turk want to party the way they used to, so JD schedules a
poker night. Meanwhile, one of the interns keeps using her phone even
though Elliot told her to knock that off and be a real doctor. Turk
bails on poker night, and none of the motley characters there seem to
share JD's idea of a good party. In the end, all is resolved.

I didn't like the patient resolution. Gur cngvrag sbyybjf "gur Gnemna
qvrg," juvpu fbhaqf yvxr n ybj-pneo inevnag jvgu fbzr yvgr Cnyrb
srngherf, fb eryvtvbhfyl gung ur unf qrirybcrq fpheil. Gurl fhttrfg ur

gur vagrea fgnyxf gur cngvrag'f fbpvny zrqvn gb pbafgehpg n qvntabfvf bs "beguberkvn." I don't believe paternalism is good medicine.

This show is already starting to... hmm, not "pall"... to relax a bit, I guess. Probably because it's a reboot, it feels less like a new show and
more like a reliable old show that's already been chugging along for
years. I like the sitcom format and several of these characters, so I'm
okay with that.

I then finished up Star Trek Continues with s1e11, "To Boldly Go: Part
II." Like the series in general, this was excellent. I don't quite buy
that they defeated the espers with the technobabble, but then again,
what is more Trek than coming up with some magic technobabble at the
last moment? Aside from resolving the immediate plot, the finale nodded forward to the movie and even to ST:TNG with the decision to make the
ship's counselor program permanent.

I know I've watched all of the Baker era Who episodes, but this one
doesn't sound familiar.

I watched

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (blu-ray) 1984 slasher flick. So,
you know how at the end of part 3 they killed Jason by stabbing him in
the head with an axe? Well, it turns out he was only mostly dead.
Because in part 4 he comes back to do some more killing. This time with
a cast that includes Corey Feldman and Crispin Glover. I know he
somehow survived getting stabbed in the head with an axe at the end of
part 3. But this time they stab him in the head with an even larger axe
and stab him a whole bunch of times in the face and chest. There's no
way he's coming back from that. Right? Right? Plus, they put final in
the movie's title. I'm pretty sure movie titles are legally binding contracts. You can't put "final" in a movie's title then make more sequels.


Project Hail Mary (theatrical) I was able to catch an early screening in
IMAX 70mm of this new sci-fi movie starring Ryan Gosling and directed by
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Gosling plays a former scientist, now schoolteacher, who is sent by the governments of Earth on an
interstellar mission to save Earth after the sun starts to die. For
reasons I won't get into, Gosling's character is uniquely qualified for
this mission, but even with the fate of humanity at hand, Gosling
doesn't particularly want to go on it. I won't give any more details
beyond that. I'll just say this was a really good movie. And if at all possible, see it in IMAX!
