    Warning: Please avoid watching Dream of A Thousand Cats in the presence of your cat.

    Or do, it could hardly be worse, could it?

    I was watching it, and my cat showed up to take a nap on my lap.

    I’m guessing her con is a long one.

    It's not building to anything. I wish people would get this out of their heads. There is no Endgame they are building towards. This is basically phase 1 all over again.

    Phase one built towards the Avengers.  There was a direction that was clear.  EVERY phase has had a clear direction.  
     

    Not this one.

  3. -I loved the coda of the Christmas Day concert, but it was one of those things that a non-fan would be thrown by (like my partner who is not a Pistols fan).  A little more set up might have been useful for those viewers.

    -Sid sounding like Lennie from Of Mice And Men was a little on the nose, but appropriate.

    -One more thing that might have been useful: mentioning that the surviving Pistols sued the shit out of Malcolm on more than one occasion, and won.

  4. I enjoyed it, but I don’t know if it’s because it was good, or because the last few MCU offerings have been so “Meh.”

    I still don’t know what this phase is supposed to be building towards.

    A quick glance at Amazon tells me that only 334 copies have been sold since the release on May 24 and the price has dropped dramatically.  If you buy one of the four summaries of her book, you will be the fifth person to do so.  (Looking for #5--cue confetti.)

    I’d be interested in knowing the audiobook numbers.  Considering that even Trump supporters find her voice grating, I can’t see how something read BY her would do much better.

    This show is so good and not getting anything close to the attention it should.

    The performances are phenomenal, and it looks great, but the way it was all  put together isn’t as good.  There’s an unresolved clash of tones that don’t compliment each other.  For example, the show is ostensibly about Martha Mitchell, but two thirds of the show has nothing to do with her.

    What would have worked better?  Editing all the main stories into stand alone pieces, and releasing them as “Watergate Stories” or something.

  7. I liked it.  The comparisons to Star Wars are blatant (and probably on purpose), but it did not hinder my enjoyment of it.  I’m definitely glad I saw it on the biggest screen I could find.

    Julia is just wonderful in this.

    I didn’t realize how much I missed Julia Roberts until I saw this show.

  9. I accidentally got spoiled on the Borg requesting admission to the Federation, so I had to get my thrills from watching my wife get angry about it. 

    You know, I enjoyed seeing all my favorite characters again (except Q; never liked Q), but this show didn’t matter.  Nothing mattered.  56 years of established timelines?  Fuck it!  Just revise everything.

  10. What JO did was funny, but didn’t really seem that sensational for these two reasons:

    1) Five-miles is too big of a range.  Go ask people in Arlington, VA if they’re in the “Capitol Hill area,” and you’ll get laughed at.

    2) That first map was not of the Embassy Row area, but Glover Park.  It’s kinda near Embassy Row, but it’s an entirely different neighborhood.  Also, that click came from a cemetery.

  11. So they’re in 2024?  Why does it look like our time, and not a post-Eugenics Wars world?  Did the producers retcon the Eugenics Wars?  I know the world would have moved on from events in the 90s, but I’d expect a far different 2020s than what is shown here.
