...and the black bullets are like white blood cells, cleaning up an infection.  Interesting.

It’s interesting to me how so many folks seem to have trouble following which ship is which. I’ve never had any issues with this (and often call out the ship name before the text appears on screen, simply to impress, er, annoy my wife).

“The Crown” recast all the core royals at the start of Season 3 (as the original actors were not aging at the speed the show portrayed time passing, often with several years taking place between episodes and/or seasons). It was jarring for about half the first episode of S3, but then one got used to it, and acceptance…

Barkbox is responsible for our dog assuming any and all carboard boxes arriving at our house must be for her, and contain treats and a toy. As we cancelled the subscription some time ago, she remains incorrect—but yet never gives up hope!

I think he was just sealing the wounds so her blood wouldn’t leak out and get everywhere in zero-G.

Actually I think you were right; pretty sure the Super Chimps were from “Rendezvous with Rama.” Been a while since I’ve read it, but that sounds really familiar.

Heavy emphasis on the rebuilding!  ;-)

Well, Bill Burr is left-handed, so....

This is now my headcanon.  Thank you for that.  ;-)

Yup. This is why all my IoT devices are on their own separate wifi network, in a VLAN that is firewalled to death (basically, nothing gets in/out other than http/https—and absolutely nothing is allowed to connect back into the network where all our computing devices live.

My wife borrowed a coworker’s YouTube login to watch this when it first dropped. She wanted me to watch it with her, but I passed—as nostalgia traps generally don’t do it for me (don’t even get me started on the abomination that is Fuller House).
