I’ve started this (Cassandra) now. Seems like a darker remake of the 1999 Disney movie Smart House?
Not sure I’m going to stick with it. Not really grabbing me yet.
Yet, you are dead, and in heaven, so why are you eating healthy stuff?
(I clearly understood why people ate it on earth, but it was a massive clue having it heaven.)
Does that mean that (assuming I make it there) in Heaven I will no longer be lactose intolerant and can eat all the cheese and ice cream I want?
But tooting is such a source of joy! Probably that is what powered their flying around?
If it was just “tooting” I wouldn’t mind. Unfortunately my response to dairy is a little more … explosive.
Oh yes, Lactose intolerance DEFINITELY survives through not having a body of any kind.
(If there was a heaven and hell, Lactose intolerance is definitely a product of hell. Nothing quite like having horrible consequences when you eat food you like. I guess that could have made a hilarious episode)
We watched the first episode of the new Tom Hanks narrated wildlife program on NBC. The photography is great, but his voice seems muffled and they have some annoying cheesy music playing all the time. At least they didn’t assign human names to the animals.
I am recording all the episodes and will watch them later. I am a big fan of wildlife documentaries, so I’m really looking forward to this series.
And let’s not forget an early progeniture of the genre (without sentience):
Yeah…it’s cheesy and Anthropomorphism 101. But the cinematography is beautiful.
ETA: and cicadas are gross. Ew. Ewww eww eww. I was about to condemn the entire insect class as beyond redemption and swear never to travel to the East Coast, but then they showed fireflies.
Three episodes into Watson and it is still a bland House clone.
I have that, but after I started taking probiotics, I can now eat cheese with no issues, and even some ice cream. I draw the line at a large glass of milk, however.
I gave up on that. Mind you being as House was a sexist sexual harasser, I cant watch that either- just snippets on Youtube when House is in the Free Clinic.
Now that I’m halfway through Season 3 of The Good Place, I’m gonna post another comment. I think S3 has a more coherent story line than S2 and is also funnier. I love the episode where the team goes to Jacksonville to help Jason’s buddy Donkey Doug become a better and more successful person. It turns out that Donkey Doug, with whom Jason has engaged in various criminal activities, is not his buddy but his father. Donkey Doug and his other son Pillboi make it very obvious where Jason’s hopeless stupidity comes from! Donkey Doug is so scrupulously honest that his first words to Michael when the team comes to the door are “Are you a cop? Because if you’re a cop you have to tell me!”
At this point I’ll give this unique gem of a series my almost-unqualified recommendation, with the caveat that the sci-fi like fantasy may not be for those who prefer shows solidly grounded in reality. I also must say that Ted Danson is a really good actor I don’t think he had the scope to really show his talent in Cheers, but he does here. Every major cast member is great, actually, but it’s Danson who particularly stands out. And Kirsten Bell is super cute.
Open spoilers? I mean, I get that the show may be beyond some arbitrary time limit, but still… spoiler boxes are polite. 
I thought describing that one short scene wasn’t much of a spoiler, but I went back and blurred it anyway. Note that nowhere here did anyone spoil the final episode of Season 1!
I use Lactaid (actually the CVS equivalent) whenever I eat anything with dairy, and watch the quantities I consume. I use almond milk with cereal. Once I made the mistake of drinking a full glass of eggnog without taking Lactaid. Never again.
I don’t watch much episodic TV, but this was semi-recommended. Set in the present, it’s neo-noir with a dash of sci-fi, all centered around PI Colin Farrell as he searches for the missing granddaughter of elderly movie producer James Cromwell. The family secrets ultimately pale in significance to Farrell’s secret, which is okay because the mystery behind the disappearance isn’t all that compelling. With some actual LA locations, Farrell playing an American without a trace of his Irish accent, clips from classic films noir interspersed to give the story more gravitas (a gimmick I found a bit heavy-handed) and excellent direction of the regrettably underused canine actor in the role of Wiley. Moderately interesting overall, the series is stolen hands down by the blue 1966 Corvette Stingray Convertible Farrell tools around in.
I bailed on this about midway through the season, but my wife liked it & finished it. Season 2 has been confirmed.
Started watching Average Joe on Netflix. A dramady based on real events. I’m only in the first ep, but so far it’s entertaining.
Appreciate it, @wolfpup. Inna and I are currently watching The Good Place and I figured out that I haven’t seen S4 yet, so thank you for understanding.
