    I watched:

    STARGATE SG1:
    The first appearance of the Replicators, some sort of VanNewman space-
    bugs. I sure hope they all burned up on the reentry of Thor's infested
    ship!

    What did you watch?

    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.

    ship!

    What did you watch?

    I watched "The Pirate Planet," my favorite Doctor Who episode. IMO, this
    is the best episode in a strong arc from the peak era of the show. It
    has something for everyone. There are themes and characterization, plot twists, gloriously cheesy deliveries, and a robot pet fight.

    I also watched an episode of Adults, a new sitcom about immature young
    adults. It has a Millennial vibe, so it's probably aimed at
    thirtysomethings despite the protagonists being in their early 20s. It
    was okay, but not something I'd want to see again.

    I may try it again anyway. YouTube has gotten so bad lately that I could
    use a few wallpaper shows to have on and half-watch.

    What did everyone else watch?

    I watched the movie WIND RIVER. A story about a Native American girl
    that is found dead in a field apparently having fled from
    something/someone given the bare feet. Since the body was on
    reservation land it becomes a bigger issue. Great performance by
    Jeremy Renner. Well worth watching with an exciting ending.

    Even though the ending made no logical sense because I have to
    question what the bad guys thought they were going to do. Kill every
    LEO that shows up?

    I didn't like it because it was too silly.

    It turns out Douglass Adams wrote it using a non-de-plume, so that made
    sense.

    A bunch of Caroline Munro movies were added to the Plex yesterday. I
    watched the spy who loved me.

    There are still a number of Bond flicks that I have never seen. It would
    be great if one of the streamers would just get all of them, for several months, as then I could work my way through them in order.

    But it seems like the Bond films are never all put up on the same
    streamer that way, except occasionally on Pluto, and I don't want to
    have to watch all the Bond movie with ads!

    Plex has them all, commercial free, including both versions of Casino
    Royale, and never say never again, in a collection in chronological order.

    The two I've never watched straight through of Moore's are Moonraker,
    moostly because it has nothing to do with the original novel that's
    quite ecellent, and A View to a Kill, which pisses me off that John
    Steed gets killed off. It took years for me to get to Tomorrow Never
    Dies, an inexcuseably mediocre movie with an enormous budget and waste
    of a good villain, and I'm porbably never going to watch Die Another
    Day, among the Remington SteeleBonds.

    I watched Quantum of Solace so you don't have to. Skip it. It is a
    horrifically bad movie.

    I actually don't hate that one as much as everyone else seems to. For
    one thing, the Bond girl in that one is Olga K.!!

    Die Another Day is a misfire, but I still kind of like it.

    The Bond films I haven't seen are about half of the Connery ones, most
    of the Moore ones, and I've never sat and watched the Dalton ones all
    the way through though I think I've seen most of one of those.

    I like her better -- nude -- in her previous movie.

    Dalton is better than his scripts.
