Definitely adorable piglet and the young penguin was cute too. I even liked Matt the camel

He's a real person and the Photo Ark is a real project, underwritten by National Geographic I think, so it was a blatant plug by Disney, since they stream Nat Geo programs on Disney+. There was a 2 part documentary on it on Nat Geo Wild last year, a PBS doc on it in 2017, and a new season coming up on Disney+. But at the same time, it might be interesting for Trina do a project about it

I enjoyed it overall. I think the Sanchez vs Hondo continuing story is interesting as long as they make the journey and the resolution interesting, even if we know Hondo will win somehow in the end

I did not expect that lady convict Anthony was helping to be a cold-hearted killer. She was sympathetic earlier in the episode and so scary at the end Always nice to see Stacy Keach. I’m glad the Archbishop and Frank were able to work things out i can’t help but feel great satisfaction when the bad guy gets flattened by a vehicle while running away

Really good, enjoyable episode with a lot of good interaction with the guest characters, especially Zari and Eddie

British writer Bob Baker has died. He wrote several episodes of Doctor Who and created the robot dog K9

Good episode and it showed some definite differences between the US and Afghani cultures. Hazel revealing herself made me jump a bit but Riley made me jump more

Some more challenge games for the cast

Episode 4 is titled: "Chapter Four: Village of the Angels". Premiering November 21, 2021 Co-written by Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton Director: Jamie Magnus Stone Synopsis: Devon, November 1967. A little girl has gone missing. Professor Eustacius Jericho is conducting psychic experiments. And in the village graveyard, there is one gravestone too many. Why is Medderton known as “The Cursed Village”? And what do the Weeping Angels want? ETA: The Doctor Who page about the episode says its 56 minutes long and starts at 6:20pm in the UK https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0011vnw

Not just Whitewater though. He also investigated the death of Vince Foster, the firing of the White House Travel Office personnel, potential political abuse of confidential FBI files, the Rose Law Firm, Madison Guaranty, and the Paula Jones lawsuit (thanks Wikipedia). I mean, he was allowed to expand into these other investigations, but it was a big sprawling mess of stuff. Before the Lewinsky scandal, nothing he investigated found anything on the Clintons themselves. I feel to this day that maybe someone else should have investigated the Paula Jones and Lewinsky stuff as it just feels like Starr might have taken on too much and possibly might have been frustrated in not getting something on the Clintons at that point. Forcing Monica to detail all the sex acts with Clinton totally feels icky, wrong and unnecessary even to this day As for Clinton lying under oath in the Jones deposition about a separate affair, it still feels like something like that doesn't rise to the level of impeachment, or even warrant a big investigation; a Congressional censure would have sufficed.

The next episode explores being gay and Nigerian, focusing on Abishola’s cousin Morenike https://www.tvinsider.com/1020734/bob-hearts-abishola-season-3-morenike-gay-kemi-gina-yashere/

Renewed! Plus holiday special confirmed http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2021/11/04/fox-returns-to-fantasy-island-with-second-season-pickup-372012/20211104fox02/

Further analysis from that account (the episode ranked 2nd for the night): https://ratingsukfilmandtv.blogspot.com/2021/11/doctor-who-flux-halloween-apocalypse.html Also, the AI for the episode was 76. Not great but the ratings and rank were pretty good, so the AI is probably not something we as fans and viewers should worry too much about

Did they really need to though? It seems the whole ordeal was just because Clinton's enemies wanted to catch him doing something illegal, so they tried to get him to lie about his affair with Monica while he was being deposed about Paula. I can totally understand why he had to do a deposition about Paula, as she had accused him of wrongdoing. But then the lawyers had heard about Monica and tried to get him to lie about it, which he essentially did (but only because a Paula lawyer provided him an out with an overly specific definition). But it was an affair that both he and Monica participated in and she didn't see it as abuse, and it shouldn't have been brought up and Ken Starr shouldn't have turned it into an investigation, especially given he was already flopping on his other investigations of the Clintons. This was a mess that could have and should have been avoided, especially getting the nitty gritty details. That last part is probably what hurt Monica the most, with people knowing every last sexual detail of her affair with Bill; well, that and the tapes. Everyone involved that tried to make the affair public and get all the details, including Linda, were just out to get something for themselves, including taking Bill down. I think the grand jury and the reporters at the press conference really saw through Linda and her excuses. The women caught up in this mess, including Hillary, did not deserve any of it, though I'm not sure what to think of Juanita Broderick and her flip-flopping, even now. Of course, Bill and Monica were in the wrong for having the affair, but to get sicced on by a federal investigator and forced to testify about it in detail that was then made very public was unnecessary. This was a really good episode that was by turns infuriating and interesting

I enjoyed it too. Tom is really too much. Do we know how he and Marina got together? I just don’t see how they managed to stay together Loved Connor being a good uncle. Shamiah is GenZ, of course it doesn’t matter her parents are gay. That just tickled me because it does seem the kids these day are much more accepting
