All I got through yesterday was soaps:

soaps: Both Fri's ep's.
DOOL - They're setting it up to make it appear that Rafe is leaving
the show again, after Jada cold dumps him. But I'm not convinced as we
likely would have heard if the actor, Galen Gehring, was leaving DOOL.
(OTOH, it looks like they did write out Joy Westley in similar
circumstances, so who knows...) Gabi idiotically asks Brady to help her
leave DiMera, and Brady is forced to remind Gabi that she and Stefan
screwed *him* over within about the last year! so of course he's not
going to help her! Dumb Belle admits her "love" for EJ, who tells Belle
that his "near death experience" is causing EJ to want to turn over a
new leaf. Then Shawn questions EJ about the shooting which EJ still
claims to not remember. It's also revealed that EJ must have discovered
Rafe's "bug" and removed the memory card. And Johnny is getting cold
feet on the adoption, but hasn't told Chanel yet.
GH - Dumb Molly immediately runs to Kristina with the involuntary commitment form, and Kristina must be even dumber as she claims she
would know of no reason why Alexis would want to commit her (really?!!).
Then they both go run off to Alexis to confront her, leaving poor Cody
as a babysitter. Brook Lynn hostilely confronts Lulu about her adoption article, but Dante interrupts them before things get out of control.
Sonny makes it through surgery, but at the end another assassin, posing
as a nurse, targets him. Willow is told that Michael refuses to see her,
but it turns out that Drew has pulled a fast one and paid the
receptionist to tell Willow this. (If Willow finds out about this, they
are *done*.) Which makes it even more idiotic that Nina has come up with
a stupid scheme to frame Drew with a hooker.

Then since that was another disc of episodes done, I watched the various
disc extras.

What Did You Watch?

I watched


Ant-Man (4K disc) 2015 movie set in the MCU. The screenplay was
co-written by Edgar Wright, who was also supposed to direct, but he was replaced by Peyton Reed, who would go on to direct all the movies. Paul
Rudd (who also co-wrote the screenplay this one and the sequel) stars as
Scott Lang, a small time criminal who gets out of jail and finds himself manipulated by Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), the original Ant-Man into
becoming the new Ant-Man so he can team up with Pym's daughter Hope
(Evangeline Lilly) to prevent Corey Stoll from using Pym's shrinking technology.


Ant-Man and the Wasp (4K disc) 2018 sequel which picks up after the
events of "Captain America: Civil War" to find Ant-Man under house
arrest. But thanks to the events of the first movie Scott now has a
link with Hank Pym's wife (Michelle Pfeiffer) who is trapped in the
Quantum Realm. Hank and Hope guilt Scott into breaking his house arrest
to help them rescue Hope, but first they have to get pass a phase
shifting villain (or maybe antihero) named Ghost.


Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (4K disc) 2023 sequel which picks up
after the events of "Avengers: Endgame." Scott is now a minor
celebrity, and thanks to the "blip" his daughter Cassie Lang (Kathryn
Newton) is now a teenager. Cassie decides to secretly investigate the
quantum realm where Hope lived. Let's just ignore the fact Hope was
there for three decades and apparently no one asked her any questions
about how she survived! Anyway, Cassie sends a signal which allows Kang
the Conqueror to kidnap them and bring them into the Quantum Realm. This
one is probably the best of the three, but it has one major problem in
that it is pretty obvious that there's *no* way Ant-Man defeats Kang!
That's just not happening! On the commentary they talked a lot about
Johnathan Majors and setting him up to be the main villain of the
franchise going forward.

I suspect in "Doomsday" they will bring Majors back just to kill him
off, but I hope it's an epic battle and not just Doctor Doom ripping his
spine out in the first 5 minutes.


Watson - "The Dark Day Deduction" - Teem Watson help a vet with past
ties to Watson. This was mostly background noise.


The Equalizer - "Acceptance" - I have some major issues with episode.
The episode opens with the police hearing gun shots and then arresting a
man they found near a dead body. The man is screaming he's innocent,
and later it is revealed there is no footage of the shooting, and the
man has no gunshot residue on him, so he's released. But the man's
*defense attorney* goes to his brother, who is a police detective and
friends with the Equalizer to complain that he thinks his client is
actually guilty, and if it's revealed his client is guilty it will hurt
his reputation. In what universe is a defense attorney's reputation
hurt because a man he briefly represented turns out to be a criminal?
There wasn't even a trial, since there was zero evidence of the man's
guilt, they let him go. How is this the defense attorney's fault? He
would have been released regardless. And another are you kidding me
moment came when the Equalizer shoots a man in front of a room full of
people, including a police captain, and is then allowed to just walk
away. Even if it's a clean shooting, do you really just get to leave?
They don't even know what her name is. I'm pretty sure the news media
who was there covering the event is going to take notice and ask
questions about the unnamed woman who shot a man then was allowed to
just walk away.



Doctor Who (Disney+) - "The Well" - I forgot to mention I watched this
the other day. The Doctor is still trying to figure out a way to return Belinda home, but she seems to be warming up to their travels together.
They make their way to 500,000 years in the future whey they join a team
of soldiers investigating why they lost contact with a colony. Yeah,
they ripped off "Aliens." But it was a good episode, and a sequel to an earlier episode.

Like most shows of this nature, this one has been becoming more cartoonish and ridiculous with each subsequent episode.

The producer shouldn't have given ambiguous instructions to the casting director. "I didn't say to hire a real-life villain. I said to hire an
actor who could PLAY a villain!"

It is by far the worst of the three. While it's visually "pretty" (it's
one of the first movies I watched after I got my 4k OLED TV), I find it abysmal, sharing none of the charm of the first two films.

It was watching this film that convinced me that the MCU had pretty much
lost it, post-"Endgame".

Jean hasn't become prominent in the show yet.

And Walternate was introduced in the next episode. Just in a way that
no one realized. ;)

They didn't until they deciphered them. Which apparently some of the
fans did while the show was on the air.

A companion book apparently also gave the translations. https://fringe.fandom.com/wiki/September's_Notebook

Then since that was another disc of episodes done, I watched the

Basically they didn't. (This got asked before.) Some fans of the show eventually decoded the glyphs before the series ended. How far that
spread on the 'net I have no idea. There was a companion book released
after the series ended that also gives the full code, including the
couple of letters that were not shown in the show.

I didn't know that. I only know the characters from the movies and any animated appearances in the 80s and 90s. I only heard that Kang was a descendant of Reed Richards.

When Doom and Kang first met, they spitballed the ideas that Kang is a descendent of Doom from the future, who went into the past and became an ancestor of Doom. And also considered they might actually be the same
person. Kang has also been Rama-Tut, Immortus, Scarlet Centurion, Victor Timely, Iron Lad, Mister Gryphon, a Klingon Captain on Star Trek, and a tentacled alien invader on The Simpsons.

I don’t believe any continuity has Kang as a descendent of Reed Richards,
but it’s been suggested that he’s descended from Reed Richards’ father, Nathaniel, who is a galaxy hopping horn dog with bastard children all over
the universe. That started out as a “what if” story that somebody decided to take seriously.
