Yes, funny you mention that. I seemed to have gone off the program in that crashing-airplane episode a few seasons back. I don't really know WHY, but...I just did. Maybe it's the whole...well, nm, don't want to spoil it but I miss some of the folks.

Oh, BTW, I tried Rebel Moon, too, with Sofia Boutella (Netflix). Honestly, kids, it was like Star Wars-meets-Dune-meets-now I can't remember.-somehting else

LOTS of (cough) homaging going on, even to the point of recreating the Tatooine bar scene to some extent and having the plucky band be a female warrior, a clueless farmer, and a morally-questionable pilot go off to adventure.

Oh, yes and there's a C3PO character, too. Nope, not kidding.

And a few other things that just...banged the drum too loudly, if the drum is playing in the Trope Band. It's in two parts, the 2nd of which is meant to drop in ...March, methinks. Is it unwatchably bad? Well...not really, but you can't miss the obvious bits.

Watched the "latest" Fr. Brown with the short reappearance of Lady Montague. It was 'okay' but the plots are running out of steam and originality, they REALLY are.
