Well, not knowing how the character develops, that could have been serious. She's already realizing that she doesn't really know her daughter and granddaughter.
TWILIGHT ZONE, SEASON FOUR: I decided to take Richard's suggestion of watching the entire season on Paramount+ rather than waiting to them to be broadcast at random.
INVINCIBLE: Last night we watched the first episode of the Amazon Prime cartoon based on the Robert Kirkman comic book. I liked it, but Tracy said she liked it "right up until the end." I don't know whether or not we'll watch any more, but I definitely should re-read what I've read of the comic book series and finish it.

I was surprised by what Omni-Man did. I won't be reading the Invincible comics because I can't keep up with everything. I looked at the Wikipedia page for the Invincible comics and it seems consistent with the show. I finished watching season 1 and will continue as time permits.
We just started Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War (2024) on Netflix. No matter how many times I study this period, I find something new. Most of the first two eps were insightful review (though it has some of the most disturbing Hiroshima footage I've seen, and that's saying quite a lot, and a lot more about Putin's admiration for Stalin, often underplayed in western media), but I admit that I cannot recalling hearing about Karma Deane and her young dancing girls before. They may be a footnote, but the footnotes to history tell important stories.
Given that one thesis of the series is that we're in a Cold War again, I suspect that this series will need a tenth episode. I shudder over its possible contents.
We're on a post-first-season hiatus from Gilmore Girls, which we both enjoyed, but found it overused the comedy trope of "this entire problem would be resolved if character x and character y just communicated for two seconds." Light years from nuclear holocaust, however.

Not so certain about that one, personally...
Try placing your tongue firmly in your cheek.

Good stuff.

THIS makes me unhappy.
