My thanks to Sheena McNeil for taking time to review M&M, here’s The Link…

Not bad. Another well done…. well actually another well done set up story. It’s very different from doing just A Good Story, which has a beginning, a middle and an end.  Anyway, I think, pretty much top to bottom, that was a solid Doctor Who episode. Did my jaw drop and did it keep meContinue reading “DWS12.9: Ascension of the Cybermen”

Sunday sees the premiere of Better Call Saul season 5. It’s about time. It’s been a year and a half since season 4. It’s been a slow boil, watching the tortuous process of Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) transforming into Saul Goodman. It hasn’t been easy because we know what’s coming and what Jimmy becomes.  WithContinue reading “Saul Has Arrived”

I’m dragging the garbage bins out to the curb for pick up the following day. As I pass the sidewalk, I notice three people, and one is taking a picture of the other two. I realize that I’ve mistakenly photobombed the couple. I’m about to apologize when three things happen in quick succession.  I feltContinue reading “This ever happen to you?”

It was the middle of the night and I was straining my brain trying to think of the last name of the famous painter associated with doing the Saturday Evening Post covers forever. Yes of COURSE you immediately respond “Norman Rockwell!” much like my wife did immediately upon waking the next morning, which was noContinue reading “Dreaming about what’s his name…”

One of the finest crackers, nay, THE finest cracker in the land is a Ritz cracker. I have decreed it, thus is it so. This scrumptious, buttery, salted, crispy delight with the scalloped edge is just as lovely a cracker now as it was when I was a kid.  Now be wary….Ritz is Latin forContinue reading “Everything IS better on a Ritz”

Bahdoo, bahdoo, bah do Doo do, do do do DOO Everybody now! I’ve always loved The Wild Wild West tv show. I was probably 4 or 5 years old when I started watching three very important, pivotal shows in my life. One was Batman, starring Adam West and Burt Ward, another was Star Trek, whereContinue reading “Bob Conrad and The Wild Wild West”

It’s an interesting contrast in talking about DC comics’ Silver Age heroes origins as opposed to Silver Age Marvel. Usually through magic, extraterrestrial involvement or nature, the DC pantheon were all beautiful god’s, fighting for justice, beloved by everyone. No doubt picking up the baton from the previous generations heroes in the Golden Age, theContinue reading “DC and Marvel origins pt 2”

I think I’ll just be happy when the season’s done, which is sad but there you go. Sometimes it’s a chore to watch under this showrunner but I find I can’t abandon it. Anyway… Usually, before watching the new ep, I have to dodge the DWC and FB to steer clear of opinions. This time,Continue reading “DWS12.8: The Haunting of Villa Diodati”

As a foreword, it’s a matter of texture. My hair in the past—as it was, was soft, luxurious, yes, probably Fabio-like if I’d… let the panther loose. But I’m all about eliminating hassle, so no, never letting that stuff grow that long. There was a familiar texture that’s key. Going grey, sure, blah blah blahContinue reading “There Are Concerns About Poodle Hair”
