After an arduous workout, I watched:
Nothing.
What did you watch?
Fringe S2E21 'Northwest Passage'.
Peter finds Newton in Twin Peaks while running away from home.
The glyphs in this episode spell "Return".
Dr. Walter Bishop: The hadron super collider is less complicated than
that infernal dishwater.
On Peter's Sat Nav it shows that he is in Snoqualmie, Washington. This
is one of the filming locations of Twin Peaks to which this episode
bears several similarities.

I watched:
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (theatrical) - This is part 2
of the last movie, which ended not so much on a cliffhanger, as it just
sort of stopped. This one picks up 2 months later with Ethan (Tom
Cruise) and his team still on the run. And the evil AI (AKA Skynet) is plotting the downfall of humanity.

I watched:
Family Guy - Another episode or two as I continue to make my way through
my backlog.
Welcome to Wrehxam - "Disney FC" - Season 4, episode 3. They are still desperately trying to portray this team as the underdog when they are anything but the underdog.
Law & Order: Organized Crime (Peacock) - "Beautiful Disaster" - Almost
the entire cast was missing from this episode. If they explained why
they were all gone, I missed it. But Stabler teams up with a federal
unit to track some local terrorist using technology to kill people.
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (theatrical) - This is part 2
of the last movie, which ended not so much on a cliffhanger, as it just
sort of stopped. This one picks up 2 months later with Ethan (Tom
Cruise) and his team still on the run. And the evil AI (AKA Skynet) is plotting the downfall of humanity. This movie felt like 50% Mission Impossible film, and the rest were made up of bits from "The Hunt for
Red October," "The Abyss," "Fail Safe," "War Games," and maybe a little
"Dr. Strangelove" too. I mean, fighting in the war room *would* be a
"Dr. Strangelove" reference, right? It was definitely derivative, but
that's not necessarily a bad thing. It was certainly nice to look at.
The submarine/underwater sequences probably took up at least 1/3 of the movie, but they ripped off the best, so it was good. The stunt
sequences with the two biplanes was worth the price of admission alone! Whoever did those stunts, deserve every penny they were paid and whoever filmed them doing those stunts deserve every penny too! My only issue
is, while clocking in at just under 3 hours, the movie felt rushed. The editing was weird and I'm 100% positive there is at least a half hour of movie they cut for run time purposes but the result left the film
disjointed at times, which lots of flashbacks for exposition because
they obviously cut those in context scenes from the movie. There was
also a character who appears in this movie that put a massive smile on
my face. When they first appeared on screen I instantly recognized them
and their significance. I think I heard a couple of other audible gasps
from the audience from others who similarly recognized the character.
And that would have been perfect as is, but they went out of their way
to explain who the character was, multiple times. Don't explain! Either
you *know* who it is or you don't and leave at that!

Abducted in the Everglades (LMN) - LMN was rebroadcasting this - it originally aired on Lifetime about a month ago.
Even by Lifetime standards this was absurd and risible.
It stars Tori Spelling as "the mom" - and she looks maybe even worse
than you are anticipating - and Tommi Rose (an actress actually from Florida!) as the "wreckless college-age daughter" - Rose has been
messing with her own face for years now and doesn't look good at all
these days.
Wow. I don't remember the last MI film at all, I guess.
I will need to rewatch that one before I watch this one!

Or maybe she might be 'reckless', because 'wreckless' just means she's a good driver and doesn't get into wrecks. ;-)
I'll chalk that up to your concussion from having a plane land you.

You had me at 1/3 submarine action.

Time permitting, you might enjoy rewatching the first movie and the
third movie while you're at it. :-)

Wow, that was this year? When that episode aired they said it happens
in the future. This is the present. ;-)

Long workday. Just:
soaps: GH - Tue's(?) ep. More Nurse's Ball. This epie actually had
musical acts. They cheated on the "nurses" act (with Willow, et al.) as
they had Doctor Isaiah perform with the nurses in this act - CHEATERS!! Meanwhile, Josslyn acts like an unhinged judgemental bitch confronting Willow, which Drew intervenes on (hopefully he punches Joss!). Lulu
confronts Lois and exposes to Lois that she knows the truth about Gio.
And, not at the Ball, awful Kristina confronts Alexis, but Alexis slaps
her down *hard* by telling Kristina that she knows Kristina is an
attempted murderess and that Alexis is being blackmailed by Ava and Ric
over this so they have to keep quiet.
Abducted in the Everglades (LMN) - LMN was rebroadcasting this - it originally aired on Lifetime about a month ago.
Even by Lifetime standards this was absurd and risible.
It stars Tori Spelling as "the mom" - and she looks maybe even worse
than you are anticipating - and Tommi Rose (an actress actually from Florida!) as the "wreckless college-age daughter" - Rose has been
messing with her own face for years now and doesn't look good at all
these days.

Sounds like “wreckless“ is not the right word for her
