I am watching an Australian made show called "Mr. Inbetween". It's very Australian in terms of it's cast, it's story, it's location and it's humour. The main character is basically a hitman and clean up guy for minor crim's with him also being mainly a solo parent to a young (8?) daughter and with a paramedic girlfriend on the side. After three epsiodes I was ready to quit it was just too slow and the main character hadn't engaged me much but by episode 6 I was pretty hooked. It's kind of weird the show has no ad's in it so the episodes are only 30 min's max. Not whether it is available through a streaming service but it is on Foxtel in Australia. seven have you watched this show? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Inbetween

Star Trek TNG: On episode 6 (or 7 if you count Farpoint as 2) of TNG. Got a decent ways last night. Man, it's weird. I loved this show when I was growing up. Used to brag to my even-geekier-than-I friend that I could see 10 seconds of any episode and tell you exactly where and when it happened. (And for the most part that was true. I was also like.... 12 at the time.) Now I barely remember anything, except I get these moments where the entire episode's plot will just clarify in my head. *** The sets, some of the acting, some of the effects, they've all aged and parts of it, not well. That said, this series already has something most TV doesn't seem to have. A moral center that's driving everything, and that moral center is actually good. Not a fake "this company is promoting itself to look good" moral center. I mean genuine good. One episode I was looking forward to seeing was the one with The Traveler. "Where No One Has Gone Before" This episode did a lot for opening my mind at that age to new possibilities. Trek, namely TNG and DS9 did that for me. Albeit none more so that Babylon 5, particularly G'kar. Something I didn't remember was the fraud engineer claiming The Traveler's work for his own. There was something important that happened near the end of that episode. Picard is telling the crew to concentrate deeply on their duty, or to send good vibes to The Traveler. The Traveler then says he needs the fraud. The outcast, the arrogant asshole everyone finally felt vindicated hating.
They made a point in that episode of including everyone. The whole crew needed to be on the same page. Even the one they had every reason to hate. No, not "even", "specifically" the one they all hate gets screen-time and is mentioned. They go out of their way to show it.
Traveler, "I will need Kosinski back on the main computer." Kosinski, "you need me?" Traveler smiles, "yes."
***
Now we contrast this with Star Trek: Discovery. Where in a Short Trek, The Trouble with Edward (spoilers for a web episode that has absolutely no relevance for those watching STD right now. Feel free to keep reading...) the "geek-chic" crew of attractive savvy 20-somethings who are all obviously in the cool group despite being geeks (aka geek-chic) have a hate-on for one of their older co-workers who is a pain to work with. The guy is obviously not pleasant, but the entire episode is one long push on this guy by his superior officer to get him to leave. They belittle him, cut him off, and show him no respect. No fucking wonder he hates them all... His superior officer is absolutely terrible and blames this guy for all of her failings.
Compare that to TNG's Barclay, where they go out of their way to try and help him, to work with him, despite his flaws. I'm not there yet but I remember him finally gaining a measure of acceptance along the way. Instead the entire STD short episode is a moral dilemma on how to get rid of people you don't want to work with. Sad.
TNG has these intricate moral dilemmas that I rarely see anywhere else. Sometimes they aren't even intricate, they simply go a way that was unexpected but shouldn't have been. It showcases how things could be if we didn't default the way we all mostly do. It points out our assumptions.
I think the closest I've seen to a show doing this outside of Trek/B5 is one of Whedon's. Angel, Dollhouse, and Firefly have these moments.
It can be rough to go back but the principles in the show are still amazing.
***
Tangent, the first iteration of Ferengi was... uhm, bad. Didn't realize Armin Shimmerman played one of em. Makes more sense that he took the role of Quark as far as he did after his firsthand experience on how not to do it.

Watching kdrama Beauty Inside Story of an actress who suffers from a strange malady; she turns into someone for a week every month. It can be any one; old man, old woman, child, man, another woman. She met a businessman over a contract she didn't want to sign up for. The guy has an illness too; he cannot recognise faces after an accident. However, he could recognise her despite her changing into someone else. So, I've tried three different language dramas; Korean, Japanese, Chinese. The dramas are mostly fine, depending on the stories and content. Kdramas and Jdramas win over Cdramas when it comes to romance stories. The last tend to have too much soppy, dull (to me), dragging scripts, more for youngsters than oldsters like me who prefer a down to earth approach.

Been watching TCM Classic Noir films at midnight on Sunday. They're interesting encapsulations of a bygone era. The fact that all the guys constantly wear shirt and ties just fascinates me to no end. The one this past Sunday was "Guilty Bystander", a movie recently recovered about a burnt out ex police lieutenant searching for his missing baby son in NY.

Just for something light and good-natured....this afternoon I started watching "Country Comfort" on Not Flicks. I spammed Country Comfort all day yesterday, finished it last night at midnight.....The more I watched and heard this woman named Katharine Mcphee sing...the more I thought, "nah, she's tooo good to be simply an actor whom they found who just happened to be able to sing. She has to be a singer by trade.....But damn, she's good" So then I "Googled" her this morning and found out that she is married to the incomparable Mr. David Foster! Not only that but she got her start on American Idol-- as I'm sure many popular modern singers do these days, it's become the platform to be discovered on. So there you have it....Okay, so she's done all these famous things, married to a man who is old enough to be her dad (I know because my parents are in their late 60s and early 70s)....But whatever.
I still really enjoyed the show, it was just a good natured, down to earth, down-home, light show. I was quite disappointed (though not surprised) to read this morning that after only picking the show up in march of this year.....Not Flicks has already canned Country Comfort-- and it was their own show! Netflix has a bad rep and a history of cancelling their own shows.....Dare Devil etc.....Jupiter's Legacy, now Country Comfort (which was actually good!) as was DareDevil and the other Marvel shows. I would have liked to have seen more of all of these shows.....Can't understand why Not Flicks always 86s their own stuff.

Thanks for the post, Seven.....That's interesting. Still, I think it's unfair (especially in this Age of Streaming and in this time of COVID when even Movie production companies are now digitally streaming their movies, and where Big Wig Cable Providers like Rogers and Bell are charging an absolutely, asininely Ludacris amount of money to not "Rent to Own....Rent it now for 48 hours and in 2 weeks receive a physical disk in the mail", but merely to rent it for a day or two....35.99 CAD! Case in point: Wonder Woman 1984 and now Cruella. Both of those titles can be viewed On Demand or streamed from Mouse Minus (but with Mouse Minus you also need a subscription to Priemere Access for 24.99 per month on top of the money for Mouse Minus....Add that to the cost of 35.99 to watch movies like WW1984 or Cruella) and you're paying an ass-kicking, gob-smacking 80.21 to watch one 2.5 hour movie for no more than 2 days. But even the 35.99 alone is too much. They say "watch this movie at the same time that it is primereing ing the Theater"....Fine. So charge the same value as a movie tickey, which is 12.50 CAD. Totally fine. I would have no problem doing that, none at all. But to pay 3xt that amount, plus all the other charges I mentioned is utter stupidity. And overwhelming greed on the part of the production companies and cable providers.
And while there have been many companies here on Ontario that have given relief or donations or breaks in prices during this time of COVID.....BELL Canada and ROGERS did not only NOT do anything of the sort, such as discount their movie prices which were already steep under normal circumstances.....They have even raised their prices...AND began charging money to view movies that are ON DEMAND which are 20 years or older. As much as 15.99 to Rent! So a movie like "Be Cool" which was made in 2005....Rogers wants 14.99 to rent it for 1 night.
Pure greed. It's disgusting!

Finished Beauty Inside. Started New Amsterdam
Story of a newly appointed director who intends to overhaul the operations of New Amsterdam hospital to better serve patients. Good luck with the US medical system.
Edit. First ep started well. Will see how the story and characters go.

Watched Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness
Leon Kennedy gets Yellow Fever Again
Claire Redfield gets Abducted
Things happen that don't matter And are dumb
Leon Kennedy is in President Graham's Secret Service
Shot entirely in Blender using Free assets that YOU could probably download and make the same series, but better written.
Still, it was a fun watch, better than ST:D. I'd give it a 3/5.
Speaking of ST:D ... going to open that bottle of Nikka I was saving for a special occasion and see if I can't black out during the episode. Wish me luck, I'm going in drunk.

ST:D Episode 7 Episode 7? I thought I was at 8! Oh, man. An entire more episode, to what I was expecting. That's gonna leave a mark. It's fine, it's fine, there's still enough alcohol left on the planet and we'll see to what limits I can stretch this liver, before being put on the transplant list. Why am I doing this? To point out all the things that Alex Kurtzman does wrong? That he mistreated the IP? To prove that we actually gave it a chance? In 6 episodes, I think I've said 3 good things about the show. And 2 of them, were Jason Isaacs. I'm going to say again how Sonequa Martin Green is a trooper with sticking with that part, but I think it's rather clear that, by the time we reach episode 6, she is either entirely resigned and phoning it in, as she should, considering the material she is given, or she is being absolutely horribly directed. Considering some recent leaks about Alex Kurtzman being impossible to work with and how the cast on set are doing their absolute best to keep it together on set, in spite of him, I'm thinking its the former. Anyway,on with the show. Let's see if we can finish it in less than 3 hours, this time. Michael wakes up. A move that the universe unanimously considered a bad idea. No, listen, we're gonna give this a chance. Until Tilly shows up. Tilly showed up, but she was silent, which is good. Stamets is high as a kite. I'd have to be, too, to play in this show, but hey, this is probably the best starting sequence to any episode we had so far. Either that or I am too drunk to realize what's going on. Benefit of the doubt. Stamets is really high. Fucking yeezis, man. It's Harry. So now Harry is a cold blooded murderer. That's fantastic, Kurtzman. We were doing so well, for 5 minutes. Well by Discovery standards, in that we weren't actually tripping over ourselves to fuck shit up. First of all, how did Harry find the Gormagander, to climb into it, how did he steer it to be in the Discovery's path, how was he not dead in space, for wearing only a helmet, since there's no reason for the ... does the Gormagander have a living atmosphere in its digestive system to afford Harry to live in there, for a sustainable time, till he finds the Discovery? Does it protect Harry from radiation? And even then, how can Harry even be certain that the Discovery will bring the Gormagander on board? The series of events required to make this work are nonsense. Nobody would devise such a plan. Unless that nobody is Alex Kurtzman. Alex, you'd be dead in space, in the belly of a beast, being digested. You'd have done us a favour. Let's just chalk it up to Kurtzman being Kurtzman and move on. Not like we can do anything about it. Here's an easy solution; Transporter room, lock on the intruder, transport him to the brig. All items on him are seized, due to brig transport protocol and Harry is no longer a threat. Episode over. Okay, Harry, why would you sabotage the Federation and help the Klingons win the war? The Klingons would just kill you on sight, whenever they'd come across you. Look at me, trying to make sense of Kurtzman writing. I need more whiskey and stop trying. I keep thinking, every time, I make too big of a deal, out of too small a thing every time, none of these are worth criticizing and I'm being too harsh on Kurtzman. But no, I'm giving Kurtzman Trek exactly what it deserves. I get that other people might not get annoyed or just not pay attention to it, but Kurtzman treats everything like it's a joke. Harry Mudd killing off Discovery personnel, how hilarious, how Mudd like. Harry Mudd, the guy that braved a sandstorm, to find a woman, that he intended to sell, to find a home for, on a mining planet. Harry is no murdered. Harry deserved better. And this is just Harry Mudd, a joke character that appeared 2 times in TOS. It's only going to get worse, isn't it? Well, guess I didn't move on. Let's ... move on. We're just 10 minutes in 37 minutes remaining. I need something stronger. Like a safe falling on my head. Or a piano. Oh, great. It's a groundhog day episode. No wonder we can kill people indiscriminately. Yes, Harry, tell me how you took control of the computer, or you even knew they would be anticipating your arrival the second time? Oh, right, so it's happened multiple times and I guess you eventually guessed the code. But Kurtzman isn't smart enough to show us how all that happened, so we're just going to have to take his word for it. While also dragging Harry further down into the, well, mud. I don't think I am angry, I don't even know if I am disappointed. It's just Kurtzman being Kurtzman, at this point. He lives up to exactly the low expectations I have of him. Also, if Harry is aware that Stamets knows about him, which he should have figured out by now, Stamets should be the first person he goes after. But I am sure Kurtzman wouldn't have thought about that, would he? This is all so very, very dumb. Am I wrong about something? Do you guys even read these? If you disagree, please let me know. I'd rather be wrong, if I can. Oh, how dramatic. While having a perfectly functioning phaser in his hand, demonstrated several times in the episode, Harry stabs some guy in the back, by throwing a knife at him. Now, I am not saying that Harry wouldn't carry a knife, but why would he throw a knife at a man with his back turned to Harry, instead of just shooting him with his perfectly functional phaser and save the knife for an occasion he just might need. Of course, he might be so certain that it will all reset, but still, why the knife? Because Harry thinks we wouldn't be able to tell that the guy falling over dead was shot. Because Alex Kurtzman thinks we're idiots. That's the explanation. 19 minutes in. Why is this so dab bad? (I can#t type) Why does it bother me so much? I'm far from being the biggest Trek fan, but this is shit. How can you make this? How can you spend this much money, on a production, just to make it shit? So Harry is a killer and a sadist. Did these people watch TOS? Never mind, that was a rhetorical question. Also, why doesn't Stamets go to straight to Lorca? Hey, there's a guy called Harry Mudd in that Gormagander, blah blah blah. End of story. Why does he need to go to Michael? Because Michael is the protagonist. Fantastic. Absolutely terrible episode, unsalvageable. Alright, we got a nice moment, with Michael leading Tyler to dance. Nice shot, good, succinct lines, Tyler looks like the kind of guy someone like Burnham would want next to her, she looks at him with a certain expectation and a little nervousness, I can believe this. It's not why I watch Trek, but it's a nice scene, the nicest scene we had in all the episode. I can't wait to see how Kurtzman will ruin in. Harry hid his ship inside the Gormagander. Well, that's very-how? How exactly? It's not big enough for a ship, larger than the Slave 1 Indentured Servant 1 and how did he even get it in there? Kurtzman! Good job, Michael, but Harry still has command of the ship, he can raise a force field around him, transport himself out of there, but apparently, Harry's been struck with the dumb stick. Not that I am rooting for Harry, but come on. If Harry can do all these things, he can think of getting transported out of there. So in the end you just let Mudd go, even though he committed ... I don't know how many crimes against Starfleet and the Federation, not to mention outright treason. Just how much of a hack is Kurtzman, anyway? Fuck it, episode is over. Time to get shitfaced and forget I even watched this shit.

Q telling Worf, "...and micro-brain! Growl for me. Let me know you still care." Shit's hilarious. Maybe Q is my spirit animal. Edit: Now with 100% more Q.

I give New Amsterdam an average rating. The show drops subplots and never finish them. Example; a patient who believes her tumour landed her in a wheelchair and that everything that happened was her fault. She's back at the hospital due to terrible back pain. Surgery was recommended to adjust a support metal plate at her back. However, the surgeon was puzzled to find no residue evidence of tumour surgery at her spine. Instead, there's evidence of a surgical mistake committed by the previous surgeon who operated on her about 20 years ago. The present protag, medical director, conducted an investigation and discovered there's a cover up. Despite the assisting resident who truthfully reported the mistake of his superior, the dean did not do anything. The protag wasn't having it. He was determined to tell the truth and stopped the surgeon who committed the mistake who was possibly committing the same mistakes in other hospitals he was working in through the years from holding a knife again. He told the patient. Naturally, the patient was furious and declared she was going to sue the hospital. End of side story. What??? Yep. It didn't continue on to the next ep and beyond. The entire matter seemed to have vanished into thin air. The hospital continued merrily along as though nothing happened. I could have missed it but the quickie solution the writers could have come up with is the hospital paid damages and nothing happened to that surgeon. Another example. Illogical accident. The head of cardio was in the basement, on his way out of the hospital. A teenage patient in a wheelchair raced past him. Several seconds later, a crash was heard. Then thumps. The doc was concerned and headed back. He saw the wheelchair fetched up against a pipe along the wall and no sign of the patient. He searched and realised the patient was in the lift shaft three metres away when he heard moaning. He opened the lift doors and saw the teen kid lying on top of the lift a floor below. Naturally he went down, making sure to jam the wheelchair at the doors to keep them open. Didn't work of course. The doors closed. The kid had an injury along his ribs. er... how did the kid land in the lift shaft? Were the doors conveniently open at the time he crashed? But why would the doors be open when the lift was a floor below? Say the doors were malfunctioning, he flew from his wheelchair into the lift shaft. I'd expect he would hit his head, broke an arm, legs, something but the injury was only to the ribs? huh?

finally got around to watching Princess Mononoke, it was every bit as good as expected (Spirited Away is one of my all-time favorite films) Well, while you are at it you may as well watch every other Miyazaki movie out there.

Just got HBO Max a few days ago and am loving it. Spirited Away is still my favorite though. So fucking good.

Given the state of the US medical system, I wonder how realistic the tv series New Amsterdam is and just about every US made medical drama, present and past. I'm not sure if I'm going to finish viewing this tv series because I dislike dropped subplots and under carpet sweeping.

Not actually watching this right now, just came across the gif randomly and it's too pretty not to share.
