Becoming Led Zeppelin on Netflix. Excellent! Will finish it this weekend.

I finished Becoming Led Zeppelin and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am almost done with a show about the Ed Sullivan show, which I’m finding very interesting. The show focuses on how he had many black singers and artists on the show during a time when that was not so common.

I also watched a few episodes of Unwell, a documentary on various health-related issues. I watched the episode on intermittent fasting, part of one on bee sting therapy, and all of the one about ayahuasca (a psychedilic drug that people take to overcome mostly mental illness, trauma, etc.).

I am heading to Hualien every weekend so I am finding myself bored in trains.

I hear you, I liked it though. I’d like another season but I guess it’s not happening.

Watching The Sandman season two and I am very very happy.

I wish they’d redo Lucifer like this. Not some idiotic cop show.

Yep, The Sandman started a bit slow but that was quite a ride. Liked it. Will rewatch.

Lucifer has a handsome lead man but does not quite spark my interest. For cop shows, I am watching The Rookie because Nathan Fillion is there, and even so, not very frequently.

Tried to watch Blue Eyed Samurai. Bit too bloody for my taste, well made, but nope either.

Mostly watching YouTube these days. Documentaries, TED talks, news, cooking tips and recipes, disaster prep and movie/tv series summaries. This last item saves a lot of time.

The rookie was great the first two seasons, but then it got very repetitive on season 3, so I had to give up after some 10 episodes

I watch fart prank videos (Humor Bagel) and eating videos (Beard Meets Food). I’ll grow up one of these days.

Thought you’d say something about the disaster prep and safety videos. :laughing:

Netflix has 6 seasons and I am about halfway season 1. AXN Taiwan is currently playing season 7, which I occasionally catch. I see them seasons as basically the same except bit less Fillion jokes. And he’s got a more or less different girlfriend - long hair, tough ones.

Wwe summer slam 2025

Firefly to come back soon :blush: Disney+

More resurrections?! I loved the movie, it was closure enough for me. Will watch it anyways, but most browncoats ain’t that happy. But let’s wait and see.

My kid ended up in the hospital for a week, so I finally paid for Disney+ to get her mind off the fact that she was tied to the bed and the IV.

Now she is all healthish again, I thought I am going to catch up on some of those Marvel TV shows. I’m half way done with Loki season 2 when I realized HIMYM is also on Taiwan’s Disney+, so I binged the entire season 1 of HIMYM, again. It goes great with the How I Make Your Mother podcast.

Don’t get me wrong, Loki season 2 is great, but it requires me staring at the screen with undivided attention, which is harder to do.

I finally had time to finish the rest of the season. Although I find season 1 visually more breathtaking, I do like the theme of season 2 even more.

The penultimate episode is called ā€œScience/Fictionā€, and it might be the most on-the-nose episode that lays out the essential theme of Loki season 2. I believe the entire season is based on a writing metaphor, so the Fiction part of the ā€œScience/Fictionā€.

In the beginning of the season, Loki was involuntarily time-slipping every-when and everywhere. I think time slipping is like a writing having a writer’s block. You have a jumbled mess of ideas and you don’t when where to start. You are just jumping from ideas and timelines to other ideas and timelines.

When Loki finally learns to control time slipping, his line was ā€œIt’s not about where, when, why. It’s about who.ā€ It’s basically saying that writers should focus on the characters, and let the characters drive the plot, instead of the other way around. So despite people saying that what Loki eventually did in the finale wasn’t what God of Stories did in the comics, since he was more just guarding the timelines, instead of writing and changing them, I think the metaphors for God of Stories are there. It’s just very symbolic.

Chief of War is pretty damn good if you are interested in the history of Hawaii.

Looks awesome. Alas, I don’t have Apple TV+…

Well worth the subscription!
