Another takeaway:
What is it with franchise starship captains (Kirk, Picard) having sons with women who never bothered to tell them for 30 years?

What is it with franchise starship captains (Kirk, Picard) having sons with women who never bothered to tell them for 30 years?
Kirk has probably 2000 kids, how were all of them supposed to get ahold of him?

I never saw the play, but I did see the movie Hamalot, I mean Camelot. Aaron Sorkin rewriting the play sounds like a great idea.

Meh. Typical morning for Jack. The dude has lived on women, booze, and cocaine for decades. An American icon. 😎
I thought he looked pretty good. 🥹

Binged Picard so I'm caught up for the series finale this week. Best line of the series:
Dr. Beverly Crusher: Will, did you just throw an asteroid?
Captain Riker: GD right I did.

Anyone watched The English on prime? It’s a six episode series. Western starting Emily Blunt and a really good actor playing a Pawnee ex-military scout.
Bridget Fonda hasn’t acted in more than 20 years, and that’s just how she likes it.
Bridget Fonda, daughter of Peter Fonda and Susan Brewer, hasn’t acted in more than 20 years. She says she has no plans to return to Hollywood.
For Bridget Fonda, a life away from the Hollywood spotlight can be a life well-lived.
The former actor, daughter of actors Peter Fonda and Susan Brewer, spoke with the Daily Mail on Monday about her decision to retire from acting. She is best known for her work in "Single White Female," "Jackie Brown" and "The Godfather Part III."
The Daily Mail caught Fonda, 59, at LAX and asked if she might be interested in "making a move back into Hollywood."
"I don't think so, it's too nice being a civilian," she responded as she got into a car. Not even a director could persuade her to jump back into acting, she told the Mail photographer.
The former actor, niece to Jane Fonda, was spotted with her 18-year-old son, Oliver Elfman, whom she shares with composer Danny Elfman ("The Nightmare Before Christmas"). Fonda and Elfman married in 2003.
Fonda last acted in the miniseries "Snow Queen" in 2002, according to IMDb. Her additional movie work includes "Finding Graceland" and "A Simple Plan."
In 1990, she received her first Golden Globe nomination for "Scandal"; her second came in 2002 for "After Amy." Fonda also earned an Emmy nomination in 1997 for "In the Gloaming." She retired in 2002.
Fonda survived a 2003 car crash in Malibu. She reportedly lost control of her vehicle but sustained only minor cuts and bruises. Since then, Fonda has rarely appeared in public, save for a movie premiere in 2009.
Might be twoo . . . might not be twoo. The pic that went with this story bears no resemblance to the one dbm posted.
Good for her. Honestly.
Also, anything written about Bridget Fonda that doesn't mention Lake Placid or Jackie Brown is trash.

I will, I hope to see some episodes this weekend. The one advantage to football and basketball season being over, when it is a rainy weekend I can watch things.
I watched the first episode and it was fast paced so you had to try to keep up with the new characters. Gave it a B+. They did make mention of an old president who just lost the house and and a funny comment about the vp.Has anyone seen The Diplomat on Netflix, it literally just started.

I am two episodes in. I really like it, and Russell is easy on the eyes. The West Wing comparison is weak at best so far. It is far more Jack Ryan.
Got SWMBO to watch this this evening. Thanks. After the first episode, it looks like it will be fun. The politics are a little far fetched, but we'll see what happens.
is it like the americans? i loved the americans. my daughter and i watched all that breathes on hbo max. wonderful.

Could you repeat that? I didn't quite get it.
4 episodes in and it is still a Jack Ryan novel. So it is a spy thriller, in that way it is like The Americans. But far more Ryan, something happens and the whole world is pointing one way but she is convinced it is a different direction.
But . . . but . . . but . . . Jack Ryan didn't have a princess.
My bride really liked it and thus watched the final three episodes yesterday.
I'm unlikely to order Netflix just for one show, but I listened to an interview with the showrunner on NPR yesterday, and they played several clips of dialogue. I was not impressed. Everything she said sounded tortured, heavy-handed, and overwrought. Just bad clip selection?
I suspect context matters, if they chose several high intensity scenes that would happen.
I don't think it is great. Like Jack Ryan she has strong Mary Sue tendencies. Some of the politics requires a leap of faith and serious suspension of disbelief. So no, don't order Netflix for this show. It is more good than great, at least so far.
Not yet, how is it? My wife hated season 1, I hope his job change helps her.
It's more of the same, except he starts as a lawyer. Della's character is really being developed a lot. Minor spoiler: she even gets to cross-examine a witness in court. And just like season 1, the mystery here is very traditional and convoluted and tough to figure out, but the answer will probably be simple when we get it.
