Here's a show I finished last month (August 2024) and thought I'd write a few things about it before it completely faded from memory. This is a Tom Clancy adaptation for Amazon Prime.  The series had four seasons, and the first two were the strongest in my view.  The series stars John Krasinski (of The Office fame) as Jack Ryan, and Wendell Pierce as James Greer (Ryan's Boss).The first season

 Here's another TV show from back in January that's been sitting in my drafts for a few months now.  This one is "Special Ops: Lioness" which "airs" on Paramount+ (at least in the US). Force Recon Marine Cruz Manuelos (Laysla de Oliveira) is recruited into the CIA's Lioness program and tasked with befriending the daughter of a terrorist financier. Apparently, the series is based on a

 I guess the tech-world isn't spared drama, and it appears that I missed some of this drama this past summer!  I was setting up a new Mac Mini and I was installing Rapidweaver.  The version I have on-hand is RW8, and I saw that there was an upgrade notice to "Rapidweaver classic".  Huh?🤔 Why get rid of version numbers? Well, it turns out that RealMacSoftware wants to make RW

With the late start of current seasons due to COVID, it's more past show binging (and also finishing off stuff I had started).  I started to write this back in March, but I am just getting to jotting down some thoughts.SupernaturalTo be honest, I wasn't really sure how this whole series was going to end. A series that basically billed itself as going out and hunting the monster of the week almost

Well, the one thing about this COVID-19 crisis hitting in the summer is that we have a lot of television to catch up on. This year is also the year of many final seasons of television shows.  I don't know if this was planned, or it was a good opportunity with the on-going pandemic.  I suspect a little bit of both (depending on the show).  Here are some quick thoughts on some recent

Back in 2006 there was a new show on TV which was good (which means that it was cancelled - HA!), called Jericho.  It was an action, mystery, drama type of show where a number of nuclear devices were detonated (simultaneously I think) throughout the continental US. Since the seat of government, DC, was destroyed there was some understandable chaos.  What emerged were the Allied States

OK - first of all - SPOILERS - If you have not seen the series on Amazon Prime, go ahead and watch it - otherwise don't complain about the potential spoilers in this post ;-) Over the winter break I ended up catching up on some television series that I wanted to see this past fall.  It's very odd to 'catch up' on television considering that the TV was called the "χαζοκούτι" when

I was testing blogger/vimeo integration with IFTTT (if this then that).  Seems to have worked well!  Here is an animated introduction (fan made) to the show The Wire. I am currently half way through.  Not a  bad show!

I started watching a new NBC show last week (and caught up with all 8 current episodes) called Awake. The basic premise of the show is that a family has a car accident. The father (a police detective) wakes up in a reality where his son is dead.  In that reality he goes to sleep and wakes up in a reality where the wife is dead, but the son is alive. In essence, this guy is getting no sleep,

Another interesting Australian series has come our way, this time it's not a cop show, but (I guess?) the Australian version of The Sopranos - I say "I guess" because I've never watched the sopranos. The basic plot revolves around the drama around this family - the adopted kids, the oldest son as the stereotypical person to take over the family business, the middle son who's not respected, the
