Columbo: "Murder in Malibu" - Never thought I'd hear Columbo talk about panties so damn much, but here we are. This is the end of the last regular season, sadly, but there are still several specials to go. I'm going to slow down and savor them.
Twin Peaks: "Realization Time" - Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. My present today is watching this show.

WandaVision episode 8. Some interesting moments but just like episode 4 a lot of clunky exposition, this time we even have a character on hand to explain everything out loud to the audience.

Yeah again was my least favourite episode since episode 4 for very much the same reasons. It was just so formulaic and predicable (even my mum was dozing off) a scene would happen, characters would discuss, next scene. It wasn’t even necessary exposition as it was stuff we already knew or could have guessed. Hope the finales an extended episode as i do feel they wasted a lot of time with this episode will be annoyed if the resolution next episode feels rushed

Hope the finales an extended episode as i do feel they wasted a lot of time with this episode will be annoyed if the resolution next episode feels rushed The show's supposed to lead in to the next Doctor Strange movie, so I'm expecting some loose threads to be left dangling. And I'm not holding my breath for Monica's 'aerospace engineer' buddy to suck up screen time with a last-minute appearance. If it's who a lot of people think it is... Reed Richards ...that casting would have been announced or leaked by now. Establishing a friendship here could just be a set-up for her to appear at the start of that character's movie/D+ show. Maybe a "Coming Soon..." tease in that direction will be placed at the end of the show, like The Book Of Boba Fett was at the end of the last ep of The Mandalorian. The jawdropper for me in Episode 8 was the clips from The Dick Van Dyke Show. That's a CBS/Paramount property, and Disney doesn't play well with other studios. I wonder what kind of arm-pulling went down to get them to sign off on green-lighting that.

From what I can recall I think the production team actually asked Dick Van Dyke for advice on how to implement and use the conventions of the sitcom so they might have simply allowed the use of such clips as just a brief nod.

I've spent the past hour watching That's So Suite Life Of Hannah Montana. Like a normal twenty-seven year does at the end of his first Saturday off from work since October... Ok, it was ok...?

I hereby nominate Dick Van Dyke to take Stan Lee's place as the cool old guy who gets a cameo in each Marvel project.

This afternoon I watched the CSI crossover 'trilogy' (an episode each of the three 'main' shows). Whilst I don't know if that was strictly the best arc I've ever seen, but each episode was at least decent enough &, overall, was a fair enough way to spend a couple of hours on a day off from work...

Finished His Dark Materials Series 2. This series continues to build nicely and has the production values to depict Pullman’s epic really well. High hopes for Series 3 whenever it arrives.

Wizards On Deck With Hannah Montana - A teens-only cruise? 'Either the plot for a wacky crossover adventure, ooooooor the perfect excuse for Rule 34 and a group of hormonal teens to get 'familiar' with one another whilst they're unsupervised... Things I'm not going to question #983: 2009-era Disney "You played me like a violin! You're sneaky, deceitful, underhanded... Where have you been all my life?!" "yes, my six-month plan worked!!" Told you... =_= EDIT - Yeah, I'm single. Why do you ask...?

Presenting, an exclusive look into the writing room of 'Crisis On Earth-X' (part 1)
"Right, what's in the shopping list for our crossover this year?" "Well, we have the Fuhrer's finest... -" "Like you do?" "Yeah, yeah, like you do... Oh, and Barry & Iris are going to be getting married!" "Oh, that'll be sweet for them! And that'll be, what, part 3? Won't that be awkward pacing-wise? " "Supergirl, we'll be doing it in Supergirl episode..." "Aaaaaand won't that piss the fans off?" "Yeah, you're probably right..." (Shuffles notes around) "SS-Heroes. What if SS versions of our favourite heroes crash the wedding?" "Fine, f--k it, that'll do..."

Today I've finished the last (for me) 'big' Arrowverse crossover with 'The Crisis Of Earth-X'. Whilst I will say that I at least enjoyed it adequately-enough, I think it could maybe have benefitted from being an episode shorter (or, as at least considered, been a two-odd hour film)... Barring the double wedding, I did absolutely adore the 'Legends Of Tomorrow' finale though.

Space: 1999
‘Death’s Other Dominion’ (Anthony Terpiloff)
Not sure how it’s audio counterpart fares but I thought this was very gripping. And it’s always good to see what a talented actor BRIAN BLESSED is when he’s not just bellowing all the time.

Twin Peaks: "The Last Evening" - Every single storyline thrown into chaos and left hanging. Textbook example of the a classic TV season finale. Damn fine. And hot!
Star Trek TNG: Season 3, Episodes 24-25 - Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Not a thrilling pair of episodes, but thankfully the next one is much better.
Seinfeld: Season 1, Episodes 2-3 - We quite enjoyed the pilot when we revisited it a while back. But it's clear that Elaine was the missing ingredient. I'd also forgotten George's Art Vandelay persona was invented as early as episode 3.
