Heh, after watching episode 4 I had to jump back to the menu to make sure I didn't mess up and miss an episode somewhere. I finished season 2 of Lost In Space yesterday. If you enjoyed the first, this one should be right up your alley.

The Secretary General lady absolutely cracks me up. Especially in the first episode when she talks about Holden keeping it in his pants. That was hilarious and brilliant. I really enjoy this show, but after four seasons I'm itching for some of the larger overall plot arcs to come to fruition.

I really liked the Looking Glass and Hooded Justice episodes, but the rest of the time the series was just a little off for me.

Yeah, that was a bizarre nine episode series, that's for sure. I still can't decide if I actually liked it or not.

Well, the ending of last weeks episode was somewhat, unexpected. And gory.

Your review of Dark Fate sums up exactly how I feel about the Irishman.

I’ve been kind of not overly thrilled by this show so far, but I thought episode five was well done. Great job by Tim Blake Nelson. I want more squid, tho.

It actually came out a day early, thanks Amazon! And I've only had to work once in the last three days so that helped.

I finished The Man In The High Castle yesterday. The internetz doesn't like the ending, but it suits me fine.

Me personally, I’m really looking forward to a rewatch of Gargoyles.

I’m going to wait a month or two. They’re supposed to be doing weekly installments of their new shows, so I’ll wait a bit to satisfy my binge urge. The Mandalorian looks awesome.

Any questions I had about McDavid were erased tonight. https://www.nhl.com/video/mcdavid-pots-second-of-the-game/t-310493168/c-70230903 Great victory over the Ducks tonight. I don't hate Anaheim as much now that Bieksa, Kesler and Perry aren't in the lineup, but Getzlaf is still a highly skilled cheapshotting goon. He's not a happy camper, though. There was a camera shot of him during tonight's game where he was on the bench and looked, well, dejected. Having Dallas Eakins as a coach will do that to you.

K-2S0 is possibly my favorite droid in the SW universe. I wasn't sure if I'd like R1 due to the lack of Jedi, but I ended up really enjoying it. I've spent a rainy afternoon or six watching this on cable.

Solo was okay, but to me it didn't stand out as extraordinary in any way or fashion. I'll go see this one in the theater, but I'm not going in expecting a masterpiece. Just wrap it up and lets move on to something else in the SW universe, like The Mandalorian.

I didn't take any pictures, but I've been cooking and eating way too much red meat lately. I tried, unsuccessfully, to make a dish called Plov. The first time I burned it, badly. The second time it was very meh except for the beef. So I switched gears, bought a sirloin roast while they were on sale and made a wickedly delicious pan of steak and potatoes in a garlic butter herb sauce. My wife has a really excellent small sized dicer / processor that she swears by. I'm actually a fan of hanging out in the kitchen doing prep work by hand, but man does that thing do a great job on just about everything. It uses a dual lid thingy that you press on to make it work. A few gentle pushes and things turn out beautifully. I laugh when the kids try to use it and turn their veggies into a near soup. It was very handy while I was on a bruschetta making cook a month or so ago. Damn, now I'm craving it again.

To me, @billchao, the first two seasons of LOST were epic. I want to say that I'm a huge fan of the show, even if by its ending it didn't do a great job explaining the things I wanted to know. I'm hoping we see more of the Minutemen.

This might help if you have six minutes. This sums up the comic run

I read the graphic novel a few years before the movie came out. It's a bathroom book for me. For what was out there for comics at the time, this was really groundbreaking. The pilot was a little light on details, but I thought it was well done. I'll give the season a shot, but it's in the back of my mind that this is from the same guy who came up with LOST. So there's some skepticism there.

I hear you, except my kids will eat the meat out of the leftovers and all that will be left are the vegetables. Who does that?

The raining baby squid part was...interesting.

He was a healthy scratch a few times too. Neal played in back to back finals before signing with the Flamers. That has to take a toll. And honestly @billchao just having Lucic gone is addition by subtraction for the Oilers. I can't say I've seen him play this season, but last year Lucic, aside from a few big hits, was just plain horrible at hockey. Could barely make or receive a pass, usually the last one of the forwards up the ice, and some of the worst hands around the net I've seen in ages. If he carves out a solid role for himself in Cowtown, great. But he was a pretty big hindrance to the Oilers, and I'm glad he and his massive contract are now tied to Calgary for probably the duration, even if the Oilers are paying some of it.

I can't say for sure, but my first thought was it was a small guitar amp or a PA system. That cord and that plug it goes into makes me think that. Or a karaoke machine.

Two weeks plus into the season and the Oilers have only lost once. About three of those games the team deserved to lose, but (gasp) solid goaltending and team defense have been effective so far. I've never been a huge fan of James Neal, but if he keeps scoring goals at half the rate he's doing it now I'd be satisfied at the end of the season. I'll admit I usually only saw him on the high and low light reels. For a guy who was so horrible in Calgary last year he's doing a fantastic job with Edmonton. And since the team jettisoned the Lucic contract in return, it seems like the gift that keeps on giving. Connor McDavid isn't quite the same yet, either. He's still the fastest skater on the ice every game, but I've never seen opposing players strip him of the puck as easily as this before. I'm glad Leon Draisaitl has picked up right where he left off last season. This guy is scary good, and has improved his two way game immensely in a few short years. But riding the guy for 23 minutes a night will catch up sooner or later.

Did I miss the deadline for entering? I just tried to pick my roster and it says it's locked already.

Wow, I guess I won’t have to bother checking my roster for the rest of the weekend. Only one of my players made the cut.
