Reminds me of Veronica Mars, where the trial of the guilty party from S1 is a significant background plot in S2.

And in general: it’s a mystery.  Let’s wait until the end to decide what was “filler”.

Also, that “cast list” doesn’t mention, you know, any of the leads.

It was the lighting and music tone of that scene that made it menacing, I think.

The tiles are bigger.  I don’t know if discovering things you might want to see is any better.

Two of my smart devices have the updated Prime app already.

English footballer Georgie Best from the 1960s-70s. “I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.”

Please note: the iPhone’s mute switch is indeed a “hardware switch”, in that it’s a physical thing on the case, but it does not mute the phone at a hardware level; it’s all software.  YouTube, for instance, still makes sound with the switch on, as I learned to my embarrassment at a conference once.

Apollo 13 had height, and an obvious similarity to the plot of this movie, so I’m surprised the reviewer didn’t single it out as such.

You’d think if it were intentional they wouldn’t have flipped it, but maybe.

They are, it turns out, related by marriage (as are, as far as I can tell, almost all of the Canadian comedy/music crew from the 1970s): Andrea’s ex-husband is Bob Dornan, whose sister Nancy was Martin’s wife who died in 2010.

I’m impressed at Tina’s willingness to play such an asshole, which I think is new for her. But redeemed with “Don’t be too good at a job you don’t want”. (Jab at Kay Graham aside — she never said anything mean to me.)

I mean, they want to be out of the scripted TV business so badly that they pulled Chad (which I’ve never seen and might suck, but that’s not the point) off the schedule the day of its premiere.  That’s “not if you were last man on Earth” territory.

There is an easy mode, but even with that on the combat doesn’t exactly play itself.

One thing that strikes me is that Aleida’s thoughts, though they are now pointing in the right direction, are also those of a paranoid nut. “I thought the secretary was the spy, but the Director herself shot that down...she must be the mole! It all makes sense now!”

Maybe they think this was justified with the gay astronaut plot last week, where (although they didn’t quite say these words) they need every person they have and are stuck there for two years.  But as we see here, that doesn’t work in the face of someone who’s halfway between dereliction of duty and outright sabotage.

Same symptom, but typing the right magic words to Amazon took me here:

Since Disney+ is a streaming service their cable/internet provider has no control over their ability to access it

The Eighties didn’t arrive in Canada until like ‘93.

So by filing this lawsuit, the plaintiff is stealing Sally’s arc from Barry?  THIS WAS MY LIFE!  YOU STOLE MY LIFE!  (Dialogue made up but close.)
