Star Trek CENSORED on Paramount Plus | Shatner Warns They've MANGLED It To Appease the Snowflakes!:
As a Star Trek fan, and someone who cares about the 1984-like revision of our cultural history, this story makes my blood boil. William Shatner called out Paramount for mangling every single episode of Star Trek the Original Series
in the name of political correctness. Here's why, regardless of whether or
not you're a Star Trek fan, this should alarm you. #startrek #paramount #paramountplus

Seriously? This guy natters on for over 9 minutes and can't be bothered
to actually include a 5 second clip of exactly what is being done to
Shatner's monologue??

He could have saved himself - and me - a lot of time by doing that. But
that would probably have hurt the video with the algorithm.

Yesterday was my weekly "work from home day", and in the morning I went
to get a smog check, and in the afternoon I did work, etc. So once
again, the only thing I got through was soaps. However, next work week
is a "half week", so I'm hoping to take Thur and Fri of next week to
just watch either movies, or to binge streaming TV series (likely "Wheel
of Time")...

soaps: Both Wed's ep's.
DOOL - Shawn and JJ question Kristen about EJ's shooting and being
in possession of a gun, but don't really get much of anywhere, esp. afer Melinda Trask shows up as Kristen's lawyer. Belle sits by EJ's bedside
and has a fantasy conversation with him, where she admits she "loves" EJ
- at the end... Sami walks in and chastises Belle!! Xander and Philip
conspire with Old Man Shin to take over DiMera from the DiMeras!... Did
stuff with Holly and Tate happen this epie?! - I think it did, but it
wasn't very important.
GH - Pathetic - Alexis tries to turn the whole thing around on Ava, claiming Ava "tampered with evidence" (I think the only real possible
charge would be obstruction of justice), but Ava doesn't take the bait
and threatens to tell Molly that Kristina almost killed Molly's father
instead of the cops - Ava then gives Alexis 48(?) hours to decide
whether to knuckle under to Ava's blackmail or not. Bah - Kristina
forces Sonny to tell Dante about his heart condition. More boring stuff
with Natalia, this time with her estranged son. And, pathetic: Brook
Lynn buries the hatchet with a contrite Lois (Lois doesn't deserve
forgiveness here!), and Lois puts the ball back in Brook Lynn's court as
to whether Brook Lynn should reveal the truth about her long-lost son or
not. Lulu admits to Cody that she's still in love with Dante, but Cody
counsels her to not tell Dante this just yet.

I watched:


Black Mirror (Netflix) - "Common People" - Season 7, episode 1. A
teacher (Rashida Jones) has a brain tumor, but her life is saved thanks
to a company that offers cloud storage brain replacement technology for
a monthly subscription fee. And the company not only offers the basic
brain function subscription plan, for more money, you can upgrade to the
plus brain function abilities, without advertisements. This episode is basically mocking streaming services like Netflix and does a pretty good
job of doing it with a dark Black Mirror twist.


Bête Noire - Season 7, episode 2. So this one I went into without a
plot summary and for the first half I was bored and a little confused
about what was actually happening. Basically it started with a woman
working for a company and someone she knew in high school showed up one
day. Then the woman got a job there, even though there weren't any job openings, until suddenly there was an opening. Minor things like that
kept happening, but they were so minor that I didn't catch the
significance at first. Then by the second half it all started to become
clear, and the episode got a lot better. I can't say more without
spoilers, but the second half definitely made up for the first half.


I forgot to mention from the other day, I watched "USS Callister" from
season 4, episode 1. This is a great episode that is basically a
horrific parody of Star Trek. A psycho played by Jesse Plemons has
technology that allows him to copy people and insert them into virtual
reality game system where he forces them to pretend to be characters
from his favorite sci-fi show. A sequel to this episode is airing this
new season.

Hey, thanks for asking!

The worst episode of WILD CARDS yet as our dewsome duo go undercover on a reality show. I turned it off halfway through.

DOCTOR ODYSSEY
I can’t believe they renewed this mess. THE NURSE ISN’T PREGNANT AFTER ALL AND NASH BRIDGES HAS THE SHINGLES SO THEY HAVE HIM SIT IN THEIR SALTWATER
HOT TUB. I GUESS THE SHINGLES AREN’T CONTAGIOUS?

I have no idea why spiel Chuck went back in and changed that paragraph to
caps. I’m not gonna retype it.

A DOCTOR KILDARE movie from the 1940s. I knew these existed but I’ve never seen one. It wasn’t very good.

THE BIG COUNTRY.
Huge sprawling 1958 Cinemascope western with an All-Star cast. I can’t believe I’ve never even heard of this before.

Gregory Peck,
Charlton Heston,
Burl Ives,
Chuck Connors.
Carol Baker
Charles Bickford
Jean Simmons

Gregory Peck is a retired ship captain who comes west where everybody makes
fun of him because of his derby hat. Did none of these people ever hear of
bat Masterson?

It has not been renewed yet. It may or may not be (I personally think it
won't be).

Same goes for "Rescue Hi-Surf".

I can't remember if I've ever seen this or not... Back in the late
80s/early 90s when both AMC and TCM legitimately ran just old movies, I
might have seen it.

When he said "garbled", I thought he mean just that. I guess we're lucky
it wasn't "bleeped" out.

I don't think they are contagious. You catch it if you had chicken pox.

Heh. "Spielf Chuck".
