Tesla's technology to talk to spirits of the dead:
GHOST PHONE vs SPIRIT RADIO. Edison versus Tesla. One of history's greatest
rivalries. They would never admit it but as different as these men were, they
also had many similarities. For instance, they also both dabbled in
paranormal technology. Nikola Tesla was convinced he could invent a device to
communicate with the spirit world. And Thomas Edison was convinced he could
get there first. Let's find out why!

Travelling home took much of the day. When I got home, all I got through was:

soaps: Fri's episodes, for both:
DOOL - I *f**king* *HATE* this 'Abe is kidnapped' storyline!! They
keep dragging it out!! Forever!!! In this one, Marlena (and Kayla)
figure out why Crazy Whitley is doing all of this (it also explains her
stuffed cat collection!). Meanwhile, everyone has finally figured out
about Whitley. But, because of IDIOT PLOTTING!1!, stupid Lani throws
away her only leverage with Whitley, so Whitley either killed Lani, or
drugged her and dumped her (we will find out which on Monday)... PLEASE
JUST END THIS AWFUL STORYLINE!!!
GH - Basically, *meh*... Sonny has figured out that something Shady
is up with Austin. And Curtis is apparently definitely paralyzed (and
they think it's "permanent")... I think that is basically all that
happened.

Look Who's Stalking (LMN) - This could have/should have been a lot
better - in the middle here they were threatening to make Juliana
Destefano a red herring, and make the "stalker" one of the other
suspects, and if they had just followed through on that, it would have
made for a much more entertaining flick. Especially if it had turned
out that the second-husband and the daughter were conspiring to do it!
(that would have been a gutsy and welcome twist!!).
But, instead, this played out exactly like you would expect, down to
both the stalker's identity and their "motive". [sigh...]

Hey, thanks for asking!

Obvious and I both watched THE LAZARUS MAN PROJECT EFFECT last night, and
discussed it this morning:

OB VEEUS: I did watch the season finale of THE LAZARUS PROJECT. TNT’s
time travel sci-fi series really amps itself up in the finale as they all
find themselves caught in a 3 week time loop. I’d be concerned about the
lack of security at headquarters. These people get discouraged and start
deserting their jobs to the point where George can just take guests in and
take secret juice out…

ME: That was staggering wasn’t it? They have absolutely zero security?
They don’t have any passive security?

OB VEEUS: what stops one of the many people working there from simply
disconnecting the dead man’s switch

ME: Up until the boss Lady blabbed it might’ve been because nobody knew
they had a deadman switch. But that did answer the big question I’ve had,
why doesn’t somebody set off a nuke on top of Lazarus headquarters?
Actually, no, it still doesn’t answer that. Not unless all the bad guys
know about the dead man switch.

OB VEEUS: so that the universe doesn’t get reset? Beyond that, how funny
is it that while the universe is ending, our hero George is still trying to
figure out how to get back with his girlfriend? Priorities, dude!

ME: He’s got three weeks to try to save the universe, and he blows at
least a couple of days on the dead guy in his apartment. Hell just spend
the next three weeks at project Lazarus! That’s where you probably want to
be anyway.

And how long has he been wondering about body disposal that he had a place
in mind?

George did tell his slag girlfriend that they were married when she was
pregnant. Either that’s a reality I missed or George is delusional. But
that’s two characters now that have said they were married even if we never
saw it.

OB VEEUS: Spoiler questions…

The evil Chinese people figured out that THE LAZARUS PROJECT was up to
something and then they managed to track George to super-scientist Janet’s
location and then they kidnapped her and brought her back in time so that
they could get her to build them a time reset machine and then the two
machines interacted to destroy the known universe. If that is where we are
at, then how are our heroes going to manage to get time travel themselves?
Will they be able to steal that from the Chinese and then go back in time
and stop the Chinese from turning the second time loop machine on? If that
scenario is possible, then why haven’t the Chinese already done it
themselves? Surely, the Chinese know that their second loop machine is the
cause of the collapse of the universe, so why don’t they just use their
time travel ability to go back and fix it?

ME: They haven’t even been able to get the earlier more basic time travel
right. There’s no way in hell they’re going to get the new more complicated
time travel right. For instance, they sent Janet back in time so she’s no
longer in the present. How the fuck does that work? Sure she’s still in the
present. She might be dead or something but unless they keep sending her
back every June 30 She’s going to be here for the Fourth of July.

Depending on how it works, there might be a whole mess of her here.

Now, if they send her to the future, she’ll be missing in the present.

So now, George’s girlfriend can remember the past. When she remembers what
a horrible person she is, I hope she throws herself in front of the bus!

I think they did this episode just because I had sworn not to watch season
two and now I’m tempted.

************************
And now back to me

STAR TREK STRANGE NEW WORLDS ready room
Will Wheaton, and will Riker and the two live people from lower decks
discuss the cartoon episode, including a very special feature at about
crossover’s between Star Trek series, which completely ignores trials and
tribulations. And says next week will be something other than the musical
episode.
Arthur will like this a lot.

The peach and I watch partied some stuff.

VOX MACHINA.
A strange cartoon with dungeons and dragons players, bringing their voices
to life via a Kickstarter campaign that raised a ridiculous amount of money
for no reason I understand. We watched the first episode and then went
looking for something else. I mentioned that the lip assignment was
clearly done by people that didn’t speak English or were deaf. Any time
they saw the letter U ( queue, the Stargate SG1 jokes.) they hit it with
the completely round 000 sound which is not how the word “fuck“ (which they
use constantly) is pronounced.

HIGHLANDER THE SERIES S01E08 or possibly S01E10, depending on who’s guide
you believe. The one with the vanity. This was painfully, obviously a 4:3
show that they had stretched out to 16:9 and blowing up to HD using a
variety of methods with dubious results.

Continuing on Solo, I watched

COLLECTORS CALL S04E16 Barbie
For once, Blair did not insult the collector or her collection may be
because it was all girls stuff.
I had other episodes recorded but they all failed to a Cox error message
about them not letting me watch MeTV anymore.

DEATH IN PARADISE S12E08.
The season finale. Will DI Parker leave the island after failing to realize
the woman he loved never cared for him and had been killing people all
along?
Another impossible killing the solution, for which once again makes no
sense whatsoever.
Padded out with an enormous amount of faux calypso singing that even Marlon
the deputy objected to!
Instead of ending with a cliffhanger, they actually tied everything up but
the overly woke people at PBS don’t intend to show me the next season
anyway.

The usual reruns, such as LAWMAN.

Keep in mind that these are people that have basically suffered
through years of history that doesn't exist. At some point I expect
most people would reach a breaking point and just give up.

I'm going to have to watch these last couple of episodes to remind me
of all the events before season two starts up.

I watched some of this last year and don't remember noticing anything
wrong with their pronunciation.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. If they send her back in
time on June 30th then she will not be there on July 4th. I am talking
about the president day version of her will be gone, not the version of
her transported to the past rotting away in some dungeon.

Oddly enough I remember this one. Must be Vanity. :-)

As i recall, she's tricked by her immortal lover into thinking Duncan
MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod (you *have* to say it that way!) killed him
then sits back and laughs as she goes for revenge.

That reminds me I till have Highlander 3 sitting on my DVR. I was going
to watch it a few weeks back when I watched the first 2 movies but never
got around to it.

But the dungeon version of her will be there. There will be two of her for
the month of June and then the dungeon version will continue on into July
(if they don’t send one of them back in time during this iteration, they
will continue to have two of them in July). They said the reason they
couldn’t find her was because she didn’t exist at all, having gone back in
time. And that’s so far wildly wrong it’s not even funny.

Maybe because you weren’t an animator for 50 years? :-)

It’s the mouth art that is wrong, not the vocal pronunciation. They didn’t
write out their exposure sheets phonetically. Which is animation 101.
The exposure sheet should read F - UH - K. They just wrote out FUCK or
Possibly FUK and they end up getting the character saying FOOK.
