I watched this and now my youtube feed is full of pleasing, relaxing beautiful things being made.

Same here! Sometimes the algorithm isnāt terrible.
Iāve also become obsessed with lock picking videos.

As a non-Who fan, I thought the latest series with Whitaker have been far too focused on the companions. The doctor just chucks a comment in once in a while. She just doesnāt seem to have been given much of a character compared to the others. Tennant and Smith in particular were given very strong character traits.

I still have fond memories of Sid and her allies; in particular, her combination of innocence and ruthlessness appealed to me. But as time went on the seriesā coherence fell, and the final episode felt like it left us hanging.
Alias:
Ditto, except I dropped it during S2 because it was becoming clear that the answer to everything was āintroduce another layer of conspiracyā. The eventual fiery plot-collapse of Alias immunised me somewhat against that style, so I was very dubious about Lost when that came alongā¦
I commend to your attention āClickspringā on youtube, and this:

Yes that Doctor Who new yearās episode was remarkably lightweight, lacking any sense of threat or emotion for me. I like Jodieās Doctor and the current/latest companions though, but now looking forward to seeing what the new companion will be like too.

Iāve watched the special now and it was fine. Very much the standard formula for dalek stories now. āTheyāre back! (for reasons) And theyāre different now! (but not really) Now theyāre gone again.ā
So yeh, whether it was enjoyable is very much dependent on if you like the team, which I do.
Thatās the problem with those series. He interwove everything (and then didnāt pay most of it off), so even when there were some brilliant episodes, you canāt watch them out of context.
I got into those for a while, but they tended to make me fall asleep. So instead I fell down a hole of watching a nice Canadian man repairing guitars.
Warning: Watching these videos may leave you with an urge to start fiddling with guitars you own and/or buy another guitar (which I have definitely not just done 
).

Capt. West: [in Westās office] Commander Galloway, why donāt you get yourself a cup of coffee.
Galloway: Thank you, sir, Iām fine.
Capt. West: [iritated because she didnāt understand his intention] Commander, Iād like you to leave the room so we can talk about you behind your back.

We braved Inside Out last night. We nearly needed oxygen after Bing Bong jumped out of the rocket.
Itās beautiful. And so funny. And heartbreaking.

That was a really good movie. You can watch it at a child level, but it hold together at an adult level and is moving.

There is a lot to love about that movie (and one gods-awful scene thatās super regressive and idiotic, but one bad scene doesnāt ruin a movie by a long shot).
I love the idea of the childrenās āemotional consoleā only having room for one emotion at a time, while the adult one is ādrivenā by one emotion but everyone has a place. I like the way it depicts depression and sadness.
If it werenāt for that stupid, idiotic scene with the father and mother (āWe could run away with the Brazillian helicopter pilotā¦ā), it would be one of my favourites. And again, that one stumble doesnāt ruin the film for me, but it does mean that I wouldnāt rank it in my Top 10 animated films (In no particular order: Moana, Up, Summer Wars, The Girl That Leapt Through Time, Ghost In the Shell, Coco, Macross Plus, Kikiās Delivery Service, My Neighbour Totoro, and Brave). Itās just unfortunate that a film about emotional intelligence and understanding goes lowest-common-denominator with that particular scene.

Iāve got Stephen Fryās 21st Century Firsts in the background while Iām working. It is truly amazing to see how many of these have made me go āWas that only 10 years ago? Well f&@k me!ā. Its amazing how some things just feel like theyāve been around for ever.

I have been watching Star Trek Discovery (as mentioned above) and am now on Episode 7 and enjoying the heck outta the show. They even did a reasonable time-travel episode! Not great, but time-travel is almost always awful, so āreasonably goodā is a big step!
Iām also watching The Orville at the same time (last night I watched 4 episodes after my partner went to bed), and yeah, I get why people like it. I still hate the pilot/helmsman, but the navigator goes a good distance in mellowing him.
And there is more Expanse comingā¦ man, it is a good time to be a sci-fi fan.
What channel is that on?

After a week off the grid, I did a bit of binging last nightā¦ The girls went early to bed so it was Cobra Kai season 3; so far what I have watched I am loving the point is taking on bullying/harassment to be the source of most problems, generation after generationā¦
