    What did you watch?


    On Wednesday, I watched "The Entire History of Humanity," from North 02.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9NELwNUGqw&t=2s

    I'd seen most of the information before, but it was still nice to see it
    all organized and laid out like this. North doesn't make bad videos.

    On Thursday, I watched the entirety of S3 of Friendzoned. Events become
    more dramatic as one character dies offscreen and another goes missing,
    while they all continue to simp and stalk and friendzone one another.
    It's now on Tubi! They're moving up in the world. There are still some first-season sample episodes on YouTube, on the Mikey and Wyatt channel.

    I also tried a show called Bored to Death, on HBO MAX, and I liked it a
    lot. It stars a writer who tires of his quiet life and advertises his
    services as a private detective. He's completely up front about having
    no license and no real detective skills, but he doesn't charge much, so
    some people hire him anyway.

    It was a great day for TV.


    What did everyone else watch?

    soaps: Skipping DOOL...
    GH - (Note: No episode aired on Tuesday, so I was forced to watch
    Wed's ep.) I'm actually quite enjoying "secretly EVOL!1! Willow" now.
    Love how she's snowing everyone with convincing crocodile tears while
    casually disposing of evidence of her second murder attempt on Drew (and
    still hoping that this one turns out to be successful!) when no one is watching... Meanwhile, the EVOL! WSB Director is turning the screws to
    Britt. And Chase and Michael come to blows, basically because Chase is
    right and Michael is a vindictive asshole. (I so want EVOL! Willow to
    murder him too!)

    "One Chicago" - Nothing Earth-shattering here on any of the three shows,
    but on "Med" Ripley must be a fool as he's now shtupping Lenox and she's
    a *complete* headcase!! And speaking of punishment gluttons, Frost is
    now screwing paramedic Novak from "Fire"... Also on "Med" - Marla Gibbs guest-stars!

    What did you watch?

    It first launched in 2009, for whatever that's worth.

    I so wish the fat hologram was affected differently by being transported.
    Why does she get disoriented?

    Wait, why does she have to be transported? Why don't they just start generating her at the destination?

    Even Red Dwarf handled holograms more sensibly.

    The other team teleported her as part of their prank war.

    In addition to all the other complaints, I wouldn?t think the transporter should work on her at all.

    The morons who wrote this garbage have her participating
    in a PE class and taking a shower afterwards and expelling
    bubbles when she is transported into a water feature.

    No, it wouldn't. They also should not be able to walk around outside a holodeck, either.

    Yeah, but this is Kurtzman Trek!

    The Doctor began using a mobile emitter in a season 3 episode of Voyager
    so the writers could use him in other scenes. It was a literal plot device.

    Quite frankly, while EVERYTHING about holodecks and holographic
    characters is literally a plot device, this was a massive retcon. The
    point was that the ship had a skelaton crew and the military surgeon had
    been killed. How would the crew exist without a doctor especially if he couldn't be used on away missions? It was supposed to be part of the
    adventure. Space is dangerous, especially without the rest of the fleet.

    Sounds like they borrowed light bees from Red Dwarf. Rimmer originally
    had to be in a projection cage in order to leave the ship, but that constrained the plots, so they invented light bees and "hard light."

    Is the Doctor made of hard light yet?

    I didn't watch much of Voyager, but that matches my memory. He was a
    backup, not the original plan.

    Yes, but they gave him a holodeck projector to carry arround.
