I’m getting a Dad’s Army vibe from this show.

I know he’s going to town up there with his vodka/ginger ale cocktail, and a 9 mile long cigarette.
Shameful history repeats itself. During the Spanish-American War (1898), malaria and yellow fever put overseas troops in danger. Theodore Roosevelt collaborated on a letter that was leaked to the Associated Press, pissing off the government. An excerpt:
We’ve had noble Jedi before, I mean what about Qui Gon. He was the paragon of nobility before sacrificing himself for the greater good...oh, never mind. I forgot he purchased a slave child and left the mother to die in shackles.
Yeah, same here -- from January. I got the flu shot, but tests didn’t reveal flu A or B. Docs just said “viral” infection. Makes me think the disease has been in the US a lot longer than officials tell us.
Star Wars Fallen Order. But, I’m surprised how bad I am at the game -- even on the easiest mode I’m still button mashing my way through combat. I’ll certainly never give Dark Souls a chance now.
The Stuff is especially horrifying if you’re a law student studying copyright — Effects Associates v. Cohen — the bone tingling case where Effects Associates sued Larry Cohen for copyright infringement because of his unauthorized use of their special effects footage.
I don’t see Firefly here. It’s a nice brunch in between these massive series. 14 episodes and a movie that finishes the story.
In terms of trademark law, these issues are governed (at least in the 2nd Circuit where this was held) by the Rogers test: Circuit in Rogers v. Grimaldi, 875 F.2d 944 (1989), holds that use of a trademark in an expressive work is only infringing if “(1) the use of the mark has no artistic relevance to the underlying…
You mean actually map out the new trilogy before spending billions of dollars on one of the world’s largest entertainment properties? I am shocked.
More of a plane, train, automobile and tank trip — but I put the The Last Crusade in here. Not only a road trip movie, it also has four other favorite genres of mine— the dad/son make-up; action and adventure; Nazi punching; and Sean Connery
My favorite is a Voyager easter egg — Soji’s Adventures of Flotter lunch box. It proved to me that I am a bigger Trek nerd than I thought to catch such a blink and you miss it scene.
Beautifully said. Ever since dramatic fiction shows have gone serialized, heroism as an ideal began to die. I think the killing blow was Ned Stark’s beheading. Picard, however, wasn’t afraid to give the good captain this victory. But, the real test will be how he uses the second chance.
I agree with you. The Mandalorian introduced a great setting — I loved the idea of characters operating on the outskirts of the galaxy. Unaware of the Force and the political trouble stirring on other planets. Personally, I wasn’t even happy about Ahsoka showing up. How can she not completely undermine the…
I recently discovered the Scottish series “Still Game” on Netflix. If you like the Odd Couple and don’t mind humor directed toward racial and gender stereotypes (think 90's Simpsons/Married with Children), it’s a great unconventional series.
A real long shot, but he could fit in the new season of Discovery if you recall the episode Living Witness. In that episode, an alien planet downloads a copy of the Doctor’s program 700 years after Voyager visited. The Doctor ended up serving as the planet’s medical director for a few years until he decided to get in…
GTA V. I’ve never been much of a fan of the GTA series, but seeing it for $15 on the Playstation store made me give it a chance. It’s fun even though its got the same kind of humor and missions since GTA III. But, it is nice to see a Los Angeles replica busy with traffic and people. Just like I would be doing if not…
Since this all broke out, I’ve been waiting for Tony Shalhoub to revive Monk for a public service announcement about hand washing. Yes, this is what I think about while on quarantine.
Doctor and 7
Uhura!
