After an arduous workout, I watched:

TWO AND A HALF MEN:
Several eps, then nodded off on the couch.

Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they

Scream Queens again -- still fun. It now appears that there is a
team of killers, and we've met a guy who speaks as if he were one
of them, although on this show that's likely to be misleading.

I also watched several more American Dad reruns. I like that
show. It's a standard status-quo sitcom in many ways, but they're
not afraid to take risks and try new things. Some of my favorite
episodes are the ones where they ignore their own premise and
film some other story entirely.

I should finish up The Patient, too. I only have a few episodes
left.

I like the show too, but at some point I just stopped watching.

On Thursday I watched:

Battlestar Galactica (blu-ray) - Select episodes of season 2. I made my
way through the "Pegasus" episodes where Galactica stumbled upon The Battlestar Pegasus under the command of Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes). Admiral Cain assumes command of the Galactica (and civilian fleet) but
Cain and Adama wind up fighting amongst themselves, thanks to Cain being
a tyrant, until the threat of the Cylons forces them to work together
again. These were good episodes.


Silo (AppleTV+) - "Troy" - The sense shattering season 3 finale. Season
3 was dripping out answers at a snails pace then for the finale they
decide to do a total information dump. It was a wild ride. And a
major, major, twist was revealed concerning what's going on in Silo 1.
I can't really say much about what happened in the finale due to
spoilers. But let's just say The Silo is now firmly at odds with Silo 1.
Technically, they were always at odds with Silo 1. But now everyone
knows Silo 1 was planning to slaughter them all, so their being at odds
is now more or less common knowledge. There was a trailer for season 4,
which I guess has already been filmed. So thankfully we won't have to
wait 3 or 4 years for the next season. It's already scheduled to air
this coming July.


Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount+) "Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass" - Trelane (Rhys Darby) is back to mess with the crew of the Enterprise some more. This time he turns the ship and crew into a soap
opera, but for some reason Captain Pike can see through the magic and
realizes what's going on.

My lunch once again came with a free subscription to Apple TV order. But
this time it said, it was only good for current subscribers. So what the
hell is the point?

Hey, you know that thing you already get? We are offering it to you
for free? No, you can't get your money back but you can feel good that
you aren't having to pay extra.

I'm going to have to get back to this eventually. I stopped for some
reason and then found it hard to restart, but I do have all the
episodes recorded.

And then it tells me I’m not eligible for it at all.

That's OK - I just got myself added to my brother's Amazon Prime, but
it's telling me that he doesn't get Prime Video with it (which I think
is impossible!) because my brother doesn't have a "default payment"
method set-up/associated with his account. If that prevents Prime Video,
why doesn't it prevent his entire Prime account from working?!

It's some strange thing that some companies are doing. I have it with
another company where I wanted to remove my CC from their online
records just in case they got hacked. Even though I have a yearly
subscription as soon as I removed the CC their system tried to cancel
the yearly subscription (still giving me my remaining months) and all
the other benefits I had. No warning that any of this was going to
happen just because I wanted to remove my CC info and thus prevent
their auto bill from working.

While I have Prime I never tried removing my CC from the account.
Seems like your brother might be paying the monthly fee by entering
the CC information each time the month is up. Which should give all
the benefits of a Prime customer including Prime Video. Strange that
it doesn't given that he's paid.

I'm going to have to get back to this eventually. I stopped for some
reason and then found it hard to restart, but I do have all the
