• What Did You Watch? 2025-04-23 (Wednesday)

    From Ubiquitous@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 24 04:30:41 2025
    I watched:

    Several YouTube vids

    PCB | ANDOR SEASON 2 REVIEW | FANTASTIC 4 SILVER SURFETTE | DR. WHO REVIEW | MOVIE: NAKED GUN!
    Pop Culture Breakdown returns TONIGHT as we review the first three episodes
    of Star Wars Andor Season 2, which may turn a bit heated, along with a review of Doctor Who: Lux and how badly it has failed in the ratings, setting a new record low for the (dead) franchise! We'll also discuss the rumored Carlton Cuse Star Wars project, review the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver
    Surfette trailer they dumped last week, and for laughs our Movie this week
    is: The Naked Gun!

    What did you watch?

    Soaps, including Y&R - I've missed over a month of Y&R, so I picked out
    an episode from about three weeks ago in an attempt to try to catch up
    on what I missed. I don't feel like commenting on the DOOL or GH.

    Classified (Hulu) - Aaron Eckhart. Is. Classified!!
    Hulu is your "go-to streamer" for low-budget actioners!! ;p
    This was mediocre spy(?)... assassin(?)... spy-assassin(?)...
    malarkey that appears to have been entirely filmed in Malta (everybody
    gets a vacation on this project!!).
    Eckhart stars as a shadowy CIA assassin. Or, at least, that's what
    he thinks he is. Abigail Breslin shows up (poor Breslin has gotten pudgy
    as an adult, and not in a good way) claiming to be an MI6(?) analyst,
    and tells Eckhart that his whole career has been a lie! - His "boss"
    (Tim Roth) is dead, and he's not working for the CIA at all, but some
    other nefarious shadowy group!
    This puts them both in danger! so they are chased around Malta while looking for evidence of what is going on!
    I like Eckhart and Breslin, but this barely held my interest.

    What did you watch?

    Hey, thanks for asking!

    NCIS OWM “After the Storm“
    Another snooze fest that even LL Cool J couldn’t save.

    TRACKER “Memories“ S02E17
    This is just background noise at this point

    HARRY O S0E16
    He’s moved from Sandy Eggo to Los Angeles. Soon Farah Fawcett will be
    there.

    THE FUGITIVE
    A season two episode that I watched because they run it in a block with
    HARRY O

    SHERLOCK & DAUGHTER “The Common Thread” S01E02
    The recap sounded like they were listening to us as it addressed many questions. For instance, the finger was not Watsons. It was the maid. And
    the note not only said Watson had been kidnapped, but Mrs. Hudson as well.


    Mostly though I spent much of the last few days having a THE BIONIC WOMAN marathon. Not the crap fest with Starbuck, but the original.

    In general, this is not a good show, but then they’ll have an episode with FEMBOTS! And then a bunch of lousy episodes and then Lee Majors will guest
    and we’ll get some good action. And then some more lousy episodes and then
    I swear to you, I kid you not:
    FEMBOTS IN VEGAS!
    And then suddenly in third season Lindsey Wagner isn’t in most of the episodes except for cameos where she gets drugged or called out of town or
    ends up in a hospital bed. Various guest stars fill in for her, including Maximilian, the bionic dog.
    And when she’s not in the hospital bed, she’s being awfully damn slutty and they’ve forgotten all about Lee Majors.
    And then, even Richard (no Dean) Anderson goes missing and the third Rudy
    Wells has to stand in for him.

    Yes, watching her run around clutching a gun and trying to look in any way credible as an action star was hilarious.

    I think the Comet channel may have been running "Fringe" at one point.
    But I lost Comet in the San Diego area (along with MeTV) a year or so
    ago, so I dunno if they still have it.

    But I'm going to guess that DT is watching the DVDs for the show(?...).

    I finished off 1923.

    I guess that’s it, then. Doesn’t seem like that was an ending that would lead
    to a Season 3.

    So the baby that somehow survived against all odds ends up being Kevin Costner’s father, if I have it figured correctly.

    I kept waiting for that story of the Indian girl to somehow intersect with the Dutton story but that never happened so I was left wondering why Sheridan inserted that into the show and what it had to do with anything until my brother pointed out that the Indian girl's last name is Rainwater, the same name as the Indian tribal chief and casino CEO on the mothership show, which means that whole storyline does have relevance to the Yellowstone Cinematic Universe and she was probably his great-grandmother.

    I also liked that Jennifer Carpenter’s character, U.S. Marshal Mary Fossett, is a real historical figure. The first female range rider in the nation's history.

    I seem to remember Bionic Woman was made more for women than men, hence
    the fewer action episodes.

    Most of it’s made for idiots. It degenerates in all kinds of chariots of
    the gods level crap. End in season three the new producers forgot where
    Oscars office was and he’ll be calling from Washington and they’ll show the dragnet daily planet building in Los Angeles. Although the worst was an
    ancient astronaut episode where they kept saying his spaceship was orbiting Jupiter and every time they said it, they showed Mars.

    I know that! It’s also the Dragnet building and was the daily planet in the 1950s ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN.

    And suddenly, it’s apparently the headquarters of the OSI in Washington DC.
