[Jeopardy! Season 40 (2023-2024)]

Woo hoo!  I got FJ!  And it was an instaget!  That's my first FJ this week.

I also got the TS of coxcomb, El Capitan, roundhouse, semi, aegis, hawksbill, Sargasso Sea, Hiroshima, and James Madison. 

[Party of One: Unpopular TV Opinions]

I stopped watching Person of Interest when they killed off Taraji P. Henson's character.

[Jeopardy! Season 40 (2023-2024)]

I didn't get FJ tonight, either.

I did get a lot of the many TS, though, including crayons, Humble Pie, zydeco, Beetlejuice, crow, otter, clogging, and Land of the Lost.

Certainly unusual for the mistake to make it into the broadcast at any rate.

I'm not sure how they would have handled Firenze since that would not have met the requirement to be a first name as well ... maybe they would have given you a chance to give the English version?

That's what happens when I forget the category!

I watched a movie tonight, called Wicked Little Letters. A true story, apparently. Quite amusing. I must admit I had no clue who was guilty until it was revealed by the show.

I saw this movie tonight, and thought it was quite funny -- I laughed out loud quite a lot.  I suspected the guilty party from the trailers I saw beforehand, and wasn't surprised.  I liked the woman police officer a lot, too.

[Jeopardy! Season 40 (2023-2024)]

I did not get FJ today.  My brain went to authors when I saw the category and wouldn't leave.

However, I did get the TS of harem (thank you, crossword puzzles), Mary Pickford, Powell, Madness, Grateful Dead, and The B52s.

Also, what the hell was Ken thinking accepting Venice for Florence in that category?

That was insane -- and unusual for Ken to do that.  I was briefly confused, too, since I shouted out Florence when I read the clue.  Well, I shouted out Firenze, which I would hope would have been accepted.

This is the bird they showed for Cooper’s Hawk. (actual screenshot, cropped)

Definitely a Peregrine Falcon.  Definitely NOT a Cooper's Hawk.  I knew the answer from the clue, but if I'd been on the show, looking at the photo, I wouldn't have rung in, either.  I wouldn't have known which bird was the correct response!

[Dear Diary: Question Of The Day(s)]

Reading.  And if I didn't have electricity, I'd use my headlamp and still read.

[Season 40 Final Jeopardy Contest]

4/5 with the asterisk this week. 

[Jeopardy! Season 40 (2023-2024)]

Instaget FJ for me as well.  

I also got the TS of phase/faze, ticklish, cruel summer, California Scrub Jay, and Philadelphia Vireo.

Incidentally, the bird they showed for the Cooper's Hawk was not a Cooper's Hawk.  It looked more like a Peregrine Falcon to me.

That just started at a small theater here.  I'm looking forward to it!

[S03.E07: The Polterguest]

Thanks, y'all, for the recap and for the info about how to watch online!  

[S03.E07: The Polterguest]

Dammit!  We're under a tornado watch, and the local news/weather cut in while Saul was talking to Alberta about how he could keep jerking off and attaching to new livings forever.  I missed about the last ten minutes!   

The stripper with his dinosaur facts cracked me up.

Heh.  "My brother William?  He's a Democrat.  Voted for Mondale."

[Jeopardy! Season 40 (2023-2024)]

I got FJ, but it was a last-second, WAG.  I did have just enough time to write it down.

I also got the TS of 1614, thank you, antemeridian, and Los Alamos.

Lee had some very interesting guesses.  And by interesting, I mean so very wrong.

Actually, they were supposed to drive across the Andes (inland) towards Argentina...and instead drove north for hours.  When they saw the Pacific Ocean on their left...they knew they were done.

I couldn't remember the exact details, just that they went horribly awry, driving in the Andes.

Debbie & Bianca.  They were supposed to go from Santiago to Argentina but made a wrong turn and headed 5 hours in the opposite direction, ending up on the Pacific coast of Chile.  This was the leg with the infamous Argentine meat roadblock.

Thank you!  And it was the third leg, not the first, as I (incorrectly) said above.

[F-U, Reboot-Mania: Express Your Hate Here]

Heroes would have been the perfect show if they'd stopped at the end of the first season.  Or maybe if they had continued without bringing Sylar back.

I wonder if the cruise ship could change course a bit to escape a localized cloud formation?

If the ship is small and nimble, they can.  The giant floating cities, probably not.

Bye, cousins.

[S36.E05: Save the Stress for Later]

As lost as Rod and Leticia were, how did they make up the time?

Looks like Sunny and Bizzy will make up time, too.

Vinnie looks overjoyed to be told he's team #3.

Y’all think Angie & Danny can pull out first place this week?

I guess not.

[S36.E05: Save the Stress for Later]

Oh, man, they are so lost.  Reminds me of that other team -- I don't remember which season it was -- they were the first out because they drove pretty much to Argentina instead of toward the ocean.
