    What did you watch?

    Hey, thanks for asking!

    Blue THUNDER death IN almost PARADISE

    Grab the whole series from the gray. I don’t know why I’m still surprised, but there’s actually really bad porn with that name. I watched the two hour pilot. And figured out how to cast from my MacBook to the plasma.

    Hulk Hogan! Chris Lemmon!Carol Alt! And Patrick McNee!

    Brought to you by the creator of Baywatch, who was obviously hoping Thunder would strike twice, but I’m sorry Hulk Hogan does not have the acting chops or charisma of David Hasseldorff.

    Hogan and lemon live in Florida adjacent to a big pink hotel while building THUNDER, a super speedboat that is wildly bigger inside than outside and smuggling refugees from Cuba just for fun I guess.

    McNee is the evil uncle of the beautiful woman who owns the big pink hotel
    and found a clause in her father‘s. Will that says if she’s not married by a certain date, she loses the place and it goes to him. Eye roll.

    So she marries Hogan and now, she owns 51% of THUNDER and he owns 51% of
    her hotel I think. I think he got the better deal.

    Flash Gordon 1980 shows up and they’re all after the secret treasure. It’s all good natured lighthearted fun until the end when the bad guys kidnap
    the pink hotel owners daughter and Hogan starts murdering them to get her
    back. That went unexpectedly dark.

    The ex got me to try COUNTDOWN on the prime. I wasn’t particularly
    impressed with the pilot. But I was horrified at how evil Amazon has
    become. Almost everything on my watchlist now requires paying à la carte.
    And they’ve started making every other season of TV series pay-per-view.
    And they didn’t even do it right because they make you pay for the first season, instead of letting you see that free to hook you!

    I'm pretty sure I watched, or at least saw, this back in the day, as I
    liked Hogan enough to try a TV show with him.

    I don't remember if I saw the 2-hour pilot or not.

    "Countdown" is the kind of show I might watch if I had a lot more time
    to watch TV.

    I don't, so I'm almost certainly never getting to it.

    Unless you’re hot for Jensen Eccles, I don’t think you’re missing anything.

    What did you watch?

    I watched several longform prehistory documentaries.

    I watched "Sea Wolves Are Evolving Into the Ocean's Newest Apex
    Predator," by KPassionate.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZORXhH7IAp0

    It studies the so-called sea wolves of the Pacific Northwest, who swim
    from island to island and hunt aquatic prey. I started this because it indirectly relates to my interest in homo erectus,

    Tee hee


    but it was quite
    interesting in its own right. The marine biologist hosting the channel
    says that these wolves have adapted enough to qualify as marine animals. Initially, a group of wolves swam from the mainland to Pleasant Island
    to hunt deer. Once they'd decimated the deer, instead of swimming back
    to the mainland, they started eating sea otters and salmon. They've
    rapidly become the kings of the Pacific Northwest archipelago.

    I then watched "Ancient Seafarers -Primitive Humans Conquered The Sea 1 Million Years Ago," a tightly focused look at what we know about the boatmaking and related skills of homo erectus.


    Tee hee 2


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjos-EqTleM&t=345s

    It was also pretty good. The channel is Highly Compelling, a channel
    I've viewed a few times before. His theory is that driftwood was key to
    early watercraft, since it's easier to hollow. There was also some
    tangential info about the Papuan split in humans. I'll be viewing more
    of this channel, despite the clickbaity name.

    I also watched North's documentary on "The Most Isolated Tribe on Earth
    - North Sentinel Island." All I really knew was the legend that "they
    kill all outsiders," and turns out this isn't true.

    If it were true, how would we know?


    There have been
    times when they've seemed friendly and engaged in a bit of light trade
    with outsiders.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpoOh94zQcg

    No one has figured out why they're occasionally friendly and often
    fatally hostile. Not much is known about the Sentinalians, for obvious reasons, so North combines what's known with analogies with similar
    cultures.

    Here are some reviews I found amusing:

    Hulk Hogan's Forgotten Film (McCinsey's Island) (Movie Nights) https://youtu.be/Q_14AhlOuOA?si=-ow6nyBUQ3j3lmo-
    (Was this the pilot for Thunder in Paradise?)

    Thunder in Paradise: Hulk Hogan Does Knight Boat (Movie Nights) https://youtu.be/kTpmE9ZR9Q4?si=PioX1sPJYBMMpn-S

    Thunder in Paradise 2: Things Get Kind of Racist (Movie Nights) https://youtu.be/0wfzEirf4rU?si=tUA-Vgu6qNnj-dIs

    Thunder in Paradise 3: Things Get REALLY Racist (Movie Nights) https://youtu.be/XRAWGozT2gY?si=L4H_Pr_Jse0qfGPS

    I do not know if I noticed or forgot, but this show has a lot
    of WWF personalities in it.
