Finally finished Season Three of Agents of SHIELD, it was pretty good - even though there are so many episodes I don't think there are too many non-events in it.
Also finished the second series of Oh Cook! on Prime. Everything James May does is brilliant.
We tried Puzzling on C5 with Lucy Worsley. It's.. not good. It feels like a Poundland Only Connect, with Lucy specifically trying to be VCM. It especially doesn't work when in Only Connect VCM "knows" all the answers whereas LW has to "ask the computer". It feels less natural.
ScottyBGod, by the time I got to the end of AofShield I was so done with it. they spun it around so many times with time loops, space battles, trying to work the fact that "the snap" happened into the universe. God there was so much to remember. Remember all the mutants? The Darkhold?
I was glad to be done with it, even if I can look back and say for the most part while I was watching it, I was having fun.
SbisasCostlyTurnoverHas anyone given Silo a look on AppleTV+? I'm a big fan of the books that it's based on but I've heard very little in regards to the show. Opening episodes got decent reviews but I wouldn't mind a normal person's take.
GreyShackCan't help with a normal person's take, but for me, it is one of the two shows that I want to watch as soon after an episode drops as possible at the moment (the other being SNW). The quality has kept up and there is plenty of good character development. Some people have said that it is a bit slow, but I don't find that myself.
Currently watching strange new worlds (star trek), loverld the first series and now second is out. first episode was but too "action hero" but second was ok, third ep this week is apparently time travel which can always be a bit hit and miss
What is the polite way to tell someone that the smell of a horse that died 2 weeks ago shouldn't be coming out of your ass at 10AM?
Anyway, I've been watching Australian MasterChef. It's a fun watch and is one of the few cooking shows where there is a mix of "I can cook better than most of these people" and "Oh that's a good trick I'll do that in the future". It's fun to watch with my wife and judge the contestants, make up our own dishes and rate theirs based on appearance and imagined flavour. 😂
Watched Threads (1984) recently.
Still holds up, but unrelenting bleakness!

Oh yeah that’s hard to watch. The bleakest ending to anything I’ve ever seen. I don’t think it’s something I ever need to watch again, but it’s worth seeing once.
I just watched Beyond the Sea from Black Mirror season 6. Trying not to watch the whole series in one go like I did last time.
We watched Karl meet some gorillas in another episode of An Idiot Abroad. Next up he’s visiting Route 66. During the day I’ve been a bit too glued to Wimbledon qualifying and various other tennis matches instead of being productive.
