On the day I started crawling out of my 2022 taxes hole, and continued
to work towards wrapping up grading for the semester, I watched:

soaps: DOOL - Tues' ep. I am enjoying them sticking Chloe with Xander -
some of the exasperated looks she gets as reaction shots to Xander are
pretty amusing... Jada learns from Xander that sister Talia is
"shacking up" with some "scruffy jerk", and immediately follows up
after getting the deets from Xander - no idea how the "jerk" is going
to get out from under this. And Rafe fills Abe and Paulina in on Jada's
"Talia theory", and I think Paulina might be suspicious now. I've got
to think Talia is going to get busted any second now... It looks like
Wendy Shin is heading home after playing kissy face with Tripp - if she
had any intergrity, she'd be honest and dump Johnny's ass.
GH - Wed's ep. Everyone thinks Ned Q. turned in Carly and Drew, but
at the end, he at least gets Brook Lynn to believe him that he didn't
do it. (Also, Tracy tries to convince Drew to drop the dime on Carly!
Ha!!) Even Drew sort of seems to believe Ned. (How long will it take
Drew and Carly to figure out Nina did it?!) Maxie is going to make
Sasha go back on the air (did they show us Brook Lynn quitting the
company before?!...). Portia rings her hands about Trina with Spencer
to Taggart.

NBA Playoffs - Golden State staves off being eliminated with a good
effort the whole game. (It helped that the Lakers didn't play very
well...) But GH is still down 2-3, and have to win both Game 6 and 7,
after having won this Game 5, to win and advance. Seems like a tall
order...

What did you watch?

In addition to what I've mentioned in my other posts I also watched
last night's Survivor. With the loss of the last person I cared to see
win the show has become less interesting but at least we got to see
lots of drama over the vote from last week and Carolyn's being left
out of that vote. Not that it changed anything. Then we also saw the
tribe come together to take out a threat but not to go after the real
threat, Tika. Ideally they would have split their votes between Carson
and Carolyn so that even if an idol was played, one of them would be
going home. Now they've got even more power over the votes going
forward and are very likely to get to the final three together.

Though the scene from next week suggests they will go after each
other, but I bet that is just a bit of misdirection.

Stargate SG-1, S4E10 'Beneath the Surface' (DVD)
"In an underground power plant, Jack, Daniel, Sam and Teal'c are workers
and do not know each other. Out of the blue, Teal'c has a glimpse of his
past memory of the SG-1 and is captured by guards and brain washed to
forget again his memories. Soon the viewer learns that the SG-1 had
traveled to a planet to negotiate exchange of technology with
Administrator Calder. However Jack finds slavery in the planet where
workers have hard labor in the underground to give comfort to the upper
class on the surface, protected from the cold weather by a dome. Jack
refuses to deal with Calder and the SG-1 is abducted and submitted to an
amnesia treatment to work in the underground under the command of
Brenna. Meanwhile General Hammond is lured by Calder that tells that Sam
and Daniel had insisted to go outside the dome with Jack and Teal'c.
What will happen to the SG-1?"

Colonel Jack O'Neill: I remember something. There's a man. He's bald and
wears a short sleeved shirt. And somehow he's very important to me. I
think his name is... Homer.

Trivia: The firearms used by the guards near the end of the episode are
repainted versions of the old console light-gun: the Nintendo Zapper.

The obligatory commentary. Director and FX supervisor. There is a lot
of discussion about what other shows and movies they ripped off to write
the episodes. In this case a lot of 'Metropolis'. Carter has a new
haircut and RIP Teal'c's blonde chin caterpillar.

-----------------

Stargate SG-1, S4E11 'Point of No Return' (DVD)
"The SGC is contacted by a strange man called Martin, a conspiracy
theorist who believes he is an alien. The question is, how does Martin
know about the Stargate and how come he has a gate address and is he
being drugged by others?"

Martin Lloyd: A top secret government program involving instantaneous
travel to other solar systems by means of a device known as a Stargate.
Colonel Jack O'Neill: Sounds like a good idea for a TV show. If you're
into that sort of thing.

[Marty has handed Jack a toothpick]
Martin Lloyd: I propped it up against the inside of my door. When I got
home, it was on the ground, meaning someone was there.
Colonel Jack O'Neill: If you prop it up against the inside of the door,
how do you get out?
Martin Lloyd: Through the window! You think I'm so stupid I go out my
own front door?

Trivia: This is the first episode of Stargate SG1 where Teal'c's human
nickname "Murray" is used.
Wilie Garson, who plays Martin, an alien who comes off as a paranoid
conspiracy theorist, goes on to play Mozzie in the show White Collar.
Mozzie is a paranoid conspiracy theorist

Teal'c is addicted to the Magic Fingers vibrating motel beds. O_o
Headline on the front page of 'Whistle Blower' that Teal'c is reading:
"Headless alien found in topless bar".

Commentary by the director, DP and the two writers. Oh my ghod. The
idea for this episode came from fans of the show discussing the
possibility that the show was part of a cover-up of a real Stargate
program. O_O ROFLMAO. The catering on set is apparently very good
as the commentators say they prefer days when they shoot on set because
of the lunches. They don't get catering when shooting on site.

Hahahaha

Isn't that from a real headline from a London newspaper? Ah. It's from a
1983 headline in the New York Post.

I think tapas should be served at topless bars.

Still making my way through this.

I watched:

Accused - "Billy's Story" - In the season (series?) finale there was a
very convoluted murder trial where they intentionally kept every detail
about what actually happened vague until a minute before the verdict.
Not that they showed much of the trial. Most of the episode dealt with
an "aging rock star" dealing with his drug addict kid. And for
ridiculously convoluted reasons they managed to put the rock star on
trial for his kid's drug overdose.

The Flash - "A New World, Part Two" - I don't know what was going on. I
give up!

Star Wars: Visions (Disney+) Season 2 of the animated Star Wars
anthology show. I watched the first 3 episodes.

"Sith" - A female sith tries to leave the order and start a new life but
her old master has other plans for her. OK episode with a very
interesting animation style that I was never sure if it was CGI or hand
drawn using paints.

"Screecher's Reach" - I didn't give this one my full attention and by
the end I wasn't paying any attention. But seemed like it was OK.

"In the Stars" - By the time this one started I was already not paying
any attention but again, it seemed like it was OK. Don't blame the show
for my being preoccupied with other things.

Fine. I watched this. I'll comment. Generally the whole series was
almost total shit. I didn't care for the out-of-sequence story telling
and keeping the secret of what the crime was and who the victim was. It
wasn't always murder.

We saw Keith Carradine. I recognized the voice but not the bald head.
Was he supposed to look like he'd been on chemotherapy? Well, they
didn't even try. If the actor is truly completely bald these days, they
could have shaved him further to make it look like hair had fallen out
due to chemo treatments, or just given him poorly healed blotchy skin
with makeup that is so typical of cancer patients on chemo.

That his cancer was late stage and whether he'd continue to benefit from
aggressive treatment was kind of a plot point.

The trial was stupid, with an over-the-top prosecutor showing us the
guy's pattern of violence. Well, the rock star pleaded guilty. There
would have been a plea deal and the prosecutor wouldn't have done any of
that shit except for the artificial creation of drama.

I'm not sure how the son was still alive as he was in, what, the 15th
year of his addition. Addicts who are not in recovery are highly
unlikely to live that long. At no point was the son ever in recovery
each time he got let out of having dried out. In an early scene, when he
was accompanied by an orderly, I thought the father had hired him to
keep the son out of trouble given how likely he was to slip.

The problem was this guy didn't just overdose. Each and every time
things got bad for him, he tried to take out innocent people with his
suicide attempts, like his younger brother's kid or his own kid or his
parents as he kept setting fires.

I thought it was telegraphed early that the rock star had made a false
confession. Was the actual perpetrator going to be his grandchild or his
wife? Turned out to be his wife.

The part of the story about the rock star's son demanding that he
include a song he'd written years ago that the rock star never wanted to
record but the son liked was incredibly stupid. Well, the son was a
musician in his own right (between overdoses). Why wasn't the obvious
solution selling the son full rights to the song for $1 so he could
record it, since the song meant something to the son?

It was the worst flash ever!

I have no idea what was going on. I didn’t even know what stuff I was
supposed to know and didn’t know as opposed to what stuff they knew I
wouldn’t know!

You and me both, buddy.

Back when I was working, the FedGov automatically deducted my state taxes and
sent them to California, so I was pretty much all paid up come April. Not so
with my pension. The feds still take their taste off the top, but it's up to
me now to cut Gavin a check every April for all the state taxes that were not
taken out over the past year and that check gets *significantly* larger every
year. ('Cause we have health care for illegal aliens to pay for, dontcha
know!)

I made a deal with the girlfriend that I'd stick it out here until she vested
her own retirement if, after that, we could move to Nevada or Texas or
Florida. She agreed but with Emperor Newsom on the loose I don't if I can make
it that long.
