Feb. 13th, 2019 09:17 pm1. When I logged onto Firefox -- there was article headline that stated: "Russia Considers Unplugging from the Internet".
This made me chuckle. Then I thought..."you couldn't have done that about five or six years ago?"
[I doubt it's true, but the headline was hilarious. My Uncle, who lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan (and yes there is such a place, believe it or not, the US has fun with place names, we also have Intercourse, Pennsylvania, but Sleepy Hollow doesn't exist -- that's Tarrytown). Anyhow said Uncle was going on a tear a while back on FB about misleading Headlines. He got upset about FREEP's headline on Lake Michigan freezing. I told him, it's a catchy headline -- and it made you look.
In a content saturated market -- it's all about the headlines. I restrained myself from telling him this. You can't lecture people on social media -- it's like swatting at a hornet's nest.]
2. Miracle Workers -- this is the new TBS series starring Daniel Radcliff, Geraldine Viswanathan and Steven Buscemi as God. It's basically the Good Place meets the Office, but not quite as good as either.
[As an aside? I'm sensing a pattern here? Is it just me or do all white aging television sitcom writers think heaven is basically "the Office" or "Dilbert" and if there is a God, he would be like them?
Sigh. The biggest flaw in human thinking regarding the Universe is that we all appear to all think it's run by someone like us, who is human or thinks like a human or is like us. All evidence to the contrary. I mean if it was run by someone like us, do you honestly think there would be a Universe and we'd exist?]
The set-up? ( spoilers )
3. Roswell, New Mexico
This is getting really good. The pacing is good, the plot makes sense, and it keeps surprising me. Also they don't drag things out (like they did in the previous version, hence the reason I did not stick with it...well one of the many reasons.)
Quick moving plots are a thing of beauty and apparently something Julie Plec of Vamp Diaries excels at.
( spoilers )
Right now, Roswell is surprisingly enough my favorite new series. I did not expect that.
