THE CRAZIEST ALYSSA MILANO MELTDOWN YET:
"Charmed" actress Alyssa Milano goes on social media to post
her craziest meltdown yet. The Instagram video starts with
her asking, "Why aren't you done?" During the rant, Alyssa
starts to blame the GOP for the current state of the nation
and is tired of all the "cheating" done by the GOP to win
elections. She also blames GOP gun policies for the gun violence
in America. Does Alyssa know that currently Democrats run
the White House, Senate, and some will say the House?
Why is she even posting?

THE DARK SIDE OF BIDEN'S PRESIDENCY:
America WON'T survive another four years of a Biden administration,
and as we get closer to Election Day, we want to highlight how this
president continues to lie in a way that is hurting America's future.
Biden's lying is catching up with him, and even the Washington Post
has come out against the president and called him out on the lies.
Remember what President Obama said about Biden back in 2020 when
speaking to a fellow Democrat? "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to
f**k things up." Are we seeing a dark side of Biden's presidency?

I had to finish a pestiferous online training yesterday, so I only got
through two things on TV:

Fallout (Prime) - "The Trap" (ep. #1.6). No Norm or Vault 33 this episode.
At first, Maximus wants out of the vault they're in, Vault 4, but
Lucy wants to stay a while. However, Lucy begins investigating the vault
after meeting its overseer (Chris Parnell), who is a cyclops!! Lucy is
shocked and disgusted by what she finds. Meanwhile, Maximus is soon
"bought off" by the comforts of life in the vault.
The Ghoul is captured by some thuggy "lawmen" in the employ a
self-proclaimed "president" of New California (Glenn Fleshler). But The
Ghoul ultimately overpowers them. We also get some more flashbacks of
him when he was Howard, before the bombs dropped. We are shown that
Moldaver was also alive 200 years ago, and was organizing against
Vault-Tec even back then.

Fatal Fixer Upper (LMN) - This was very "mid" for a Hybrid flick - it
was far from their worst one (my vote for that is probably "The Wrong
Real Estate Agent", which was so bad that AFAICT Lifetime has only aired
it once, unlike nearly all of the other "Wrong" flicks that have aired
multiple time since premiering!), but it still wasn't very good.
One the plus side, Jasmine Aivaliotis did look supes-cute in this,
despite one or two ridiculous outfits they put her in.
Meanwhile, Dorian Gregory had, I think, all of two scenes in this,
despite playing Aivaliotis father(?) - he doesn't show up at all
throughout the end of the film, after Aivaliotis' character has figured
out the original homeowner is a psycho! (You would think she would have
told her dad about this!!)

I have to wonder which do they come up with first, the title, or the plot.

I watched:

Star Trek: Discovery - "Mirrors" - An episode set in the mirror universe
that doesn't show any mirror universe characters. Meh!!! :-/

Chucky - "There Will Be Blood" - I just noticed that every episode title
this season is a movie title. Anyway, the White House Chief of staff is
dealing with the fallout (literally) of Chucky launching a nuke last
episode which he has to explain to the public while also faking (or not)
the fake President's death and bringing in a supernatural expert to help
deal with the White House's Chucky problem. And since Chucky actually
died last episode, Brad Dourif gets to guest star as the ghost of
Charles Lee Ray. Since when has being dead ever stopped Chucky from
killing people?!? With so much going on, I almost forgot they *also*
needed to deal with Tiffany's pending execution.

Usually they come up with a buzzword title, write a script to fit it, and
then change the title.

That definitely seems to be the Lifetime MO, about half the time, based
on IMDb having different movie titles than what Lifetime goes with for a
good percentage of these flicks.
