Home video – Sherlock

Posted on by Shawshank

So in an effort to do stuff with my mom, I wanted to watch shows with her. She really wants to watch Outlander. Crystal said hmm maybe not unless you want to watch the sex scenes with your mom.

I forgot about the sex scenes.

So I decided to see if she’d like BBCs Sherlock.

Spoiler alert – she loves it. The first episode she watched while quilting a blanket. About 20 minutes in, she stopped that to pay attention. We’re on the second season now and she devotes all of her attention to what’s going on. She sits as still as a cat watching a bird.

I’m enjoying watching them over again too.

Home video – Riverdale

Riverdale Season 4, Episode 1: In Memorandum.

Last night I watched this episode. I learned a couple of things as I watched this episode.

  • I’m not on the newest season. I’m one back.
  • This was the most normal episode.
  • I can cry to an episode of Riverdale.
  • The writers when they want to, can tug at your heart strings.
  • HARD

It was a very special episode. If you’re an 80s or 90s kid, you’ll know what I mean. It was the first episode back after Luke Perry passed away.

I was on the verge of tears almost the whole episode, but it was the last 4 or 5 minutes that really pushed me over the edge. With a quick sniffle about 15ish minutes in.

Shannon fucking Doherty.

Perfect little cameo, uncredited.

Very good, very powerful episode. Not really how I wanted to spend an hour, but I’m sure the next episode will be off the rails and back to normal.

Home video – Bridgerton

Posted on by Shawshank

I watched the first episode of Bridgerton a few weeks back, and when I was finished I told Crystal about it on our nightly video call. we both then kind of blew through it.

I’ve always really liked shows set in and around this time. I fell in love with Downton Abbey, and this was just the same. I’d finish an episode and immediately wish that I could watch another one.

However, with Netflix, they always leave you wanting more. 8 episodes in season 1. As you can see they’ve officially announced a second season that will start filming spring 2021. With COVID, who know when we’ll actually see the second season, and that makes me sad.

I think I like shows like Downton, and Bridgerton, because it’s so immersive, it feels like I can just disappear into them for a while. The back stories, the costumes, the story lines, I love them all.

So let’s hope that the second season appears soon, I want to disappear into it again.

Home video – You Can’t Take The Sky From Me.

Sometimes there’s way too many choices on Netflix. So one falls back on what they like. What they remember as fun way back. So many shows and movies make me home sick.

This is a comfort movie. I’ve seen it many times. I still like it. I’m not a militant fan of FireflySerenity I don’t demand that they make another season. I enjoy it for what it is – a western in space.

I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.

X-Files – Pilot

Posted on by Shawshank

I ran to the store to get a back of chips. Before I left, Shady Acres was going to stay awake. The plan was to watch a movie. When I got back, the house was sleeping.

I didn’t want to start a movie, because I know that’s when they’d all wake up, and I’d probably have to stop the movie so they could watch something different.

So on my Google Play, I have the pilot episode of The X-Files.

I want to believe

It’s so 90s.

And I’m really enjoying it.
