    What did you watch?

    Thursdays are my "work from home days", and that's what I did pretty
    much all day yesterday - work from home! So I mostly put March Madness
    on as background noise, and did work stuff.

    So, all I got through was:

    soaps: DOOL - Mon's and Tue's ep's. A lot of these were set up for
    writing John Black out... Meanwhile, Johnny confronts EJ about the truth
    about his conception - I think Johnny is finally done with EJ, and EJ is actually devastated. Melinda gives Ava a gun for protection, which is
    good as Kristen's crazy mommy tries to get a gun for herself before
    Kristen catches her... Philip encourages Joy to tell Alex the truth
    about being preggers; Philip also goes to Stephanie to make sure she's
    not going to blab, and Stephanie is disgusted by him! But I think that
    Xander may have overheard the conversation - if so, Xandewr now knows
    Philip is a fraud!
    GH - Wed's ep. Carly is OK [blech!]. Valentin is caught by Laura and
    Lulu trying to visit Charlotte. Sonny betrays Valentin to NuJack Brennan
    (as if Sonny couldn't get any lower as pond scum!), and Anna races to
    save Valentin, but Sonny then doubles-down and orders Jason to make sure Brennan kills Valentin. Ava's accountant tells her that she is flat
    broke!! Nina offers to buy a house for Willow and the kids, and it
    looked like Willow was about to accept... until Dummy sees Tracy and
    Drew going at it - now I think Willow will move into Drew's anyway, just
    to "spite" Tracy! (Moron!!)

    March Madness - As you'd expect, Montana (#14) lost to Wisconsin (#3)
    pretty bad. UCLA pretty much destroyed Utah St. more definitively than I
    was expecting. UC San Diego (#12) barely lost to Michigan (#5), but
    looked like they didn't know what to do in the final 20 seconds, and so
    never really got their finally attempt shot off.

    I then rewatched last year's "Murder Below Deck" on LMN before bed,
    because I couldn't fully remember what happened.

    What did you watch?

    I don't think he heard what the secret is, they were careful not to
    mention what it is.

    Nothing.

    What did you watch?

    Hey, thanks for asking!

    DOCTOR ODYSSEY S01E11 “Casino Week”
    Very special guest star Angela Bassett plays a cop who catches a thief, but gets stuck on the boat when it sets sail. She finds out that there are two other thieves that work with the guy she caught that may still be on the
    boat! It’s not real hard to figure out who they are because there are only two suspects, one of which is a Betty White clone. Her grandson has a 3-D printer in his cabin that makes perfect replicas of gold and diamonds from powdered nickel and they steal peoples jewelry and swap it out for the
    fakes. That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of it works.
    A cute young thing that Ian probably knows of, Jade Pettyjohn, just happens
    to be allergic to nickel, which is causing her heart to fail. It all ends
    just the way it would have on the Love Boat. Unless Julie loved them and
    then they would’ve died horribly.

    Two more ancient episodes of PASSWORD PLUS.

    And then OMFG

    Law & Order S24E16 “Folk Hero“
    This actually starts out fun as our heroes happen to be near the side of a shooting and run all over the city chasing the guy that they are tracking
    with drones!
    And then
    They get to the trial section and the show augers in so hard and so fast
    and I was so furious at the surprise ending that I told the DVR to never
    record it again.

    I absolutely do - she got her start playing the child version of She Who
    Smiles in Inappropriately on "Revolution" ("artificial electricity"!!),
    and soon after had a stint on "The Last Ship"! She was then in the main
    cast of Nickelodeon's "School of Rock" TV series adaptation (and she may
    have been one of the best things about it). More recently, she did a
    stint on "Big Sky", and starred in a 2024 horror movie called "#AMFAD
    All My Friends Are Dead" that I still haven't watched yet.

    So her career was in a flat spin

    I don’t need to watch it. I seem to be living it.

    They really did make it easy for the viewer to guess who the guilty
    parties were going to be.

    printer in his cabin that makes perfect replicas of gold and diamonds from >powdered nickel and they steal peoples jewelry and swap it out for the

    Hey, they live in a world where orcas can drive a shark into the
    propeller of the cruise ship which is enough to kill the engines and
    strand the cruise ship. So the idea that they can print complete
    jewelry with a 3-D printer isn't so outrageous.

    Printing diamond out of nickel is pretty outrageous.

    Plus, he was making all these duplicates from prior reconnaissance. He
    didn’t need to see the original; he just handed his grandmother the premade duplicate in exchange for the original she had stolen. So why the hell does
    he have a printer at all?
