Good Omens — Series 3 Episode 1 — “The Finale” — A Review

20th May, 2026: The Introduction.

It’s officially the case: that I’m starting to catch up with myself.

Or, at least, that I’ve got dinner on the go, caught up with the Teasers and released a video: about copying blu-rays discs.


Frankly?

I’m glad I found the ‘drop shadow’ feature in Final Cut Pro.

I don’t know if it does much for the opening titles … but at least the shadowing helps, I think.

At any rate … ?   And with that out of the way?

I can move on.

And catch up with a few things.

One thing I meant to catch up with?

Is a few TV shows.

So, tonight?

I’m going to eat dinner, wash up, boil the kettle … 

And watch the last ever episode of Good Omens.

Given this review will take a while … ?

I expect to have this written review done by Friday, 22d May, and expect to have the video done the same day.

I hope you’ll be sticking around for … “The Finale” …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd May 2026.

22nd May, 2026.


Right, then: it’s Friday!

And … ?

It’s officially shopping day: and bill paying day.

Which is going to be fun.


It looks like it’s going to be one of the hottest days of the year to date.

Hydration will be key.

And, for those of us marking World Goth Day?

It might be a sensible idea to not wear black.

It’s not going to be the weather for it … 

~≈𐌸≈~

Oh … shopping!

I bought a new games controller, a few weeks ago: directly from Apple’s site.

One that didn’t come with a charging cable.

I wasn’t too worried: as I was told the thing could be charged by hooking it up to my Mac.

Turns out that wasn’t quite the case.

It was running low on charge, a few days ago, so I hooked the controller to my Mac … and left it over night.

It didn’t charge the thing: but did pair it with the Mac.

In much the same way we pair a bluetooth mouse or keyboard!

Yes: you’re right.

I’m going to pick up a charging station, today …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st May 2026. (Six questions)

21st May, 2026: Six Questions.


Right … it’s officially Thursday: and the day before another pay day.

Frankly?

That means more bill paying, more shopping … and more chances to sneakily buy stuff on Amazon.

I’ve got my eye on the 4k version of the old Dr Who TV movie from the late 1990s.

A 4k set that, inevitably, will get the treatment.


Whether I do or don’t get it?

It’ll be interesting to see what the extras are like: if they’re an improvement on the ones in the 2k version I got a few years ago.

~≈Ω≈~

Just as a last thought … ?

I’ve got a review in the works: of the last episode of Good Omens.

Hopefully?

That’ll be coherent!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th May 2026

20th May, 2026: about Blu-ray Discs … 


Yes: it’s officially, finally, done!

I’ve made a video: about copying blu-rays.


Quite how relevant it is, these days?

Especially given how streaming is more common, and given how the market for blu-ray drives is slowly shrinking?

I don’t know.

But … ?

It feels good to get the thing out of my system.

~≈📀≈~

Apparently?

The Scottish National Party announced an idea, last month: to introduce a mandatory price-freeze on essential groceries.

Which sounds like a good idea: although one that retail organisations will oppose.

Yesterday?

The Treasury announced a similar scheme: although theirs, unlike the SNP’s plan, is a voluntary freeze.

Retail organisations oppose the Government one, as well.

Personally?

I hope something like it goes through: although I feel a mandatory one will have more results than a voluntary one.

We’ll have to see how it goes.

~≈🛒≈~

Do you remember that the UK had a referendum, a few years ago?

No, not the Brexit one: the one about introducing Proportional Representation, back in 2011?

The one that was eventually, rejected?

Yeah: that one!

There’s been nothing in the news about another referenda on PR, recently.

However?

It seems some sixty odd Labour MPs have called for an amendment to the Representation of the People Bill that’s currently going through Parliament: an amendment that calls for a commission to examine the subject, if nothing else.

I can’t help but think two things.

One … ?

That an actual change to the system — rather than just an enquiry that would take years — would be preferred.

And two … ?

I think those MPs are more worried about Reform doing well at a General Election, than they are about a fair democracy … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-5-2026 — World Fair Play Day

19th May, 2026: World Fair Play Day.


It’s officially official: I’ve gained weight … !

I’m … not surprised, somehow: lots of crisps, and a sneaky take-away on Saturday, probably didn’t help!

Granted, my weight’s up by only a small amount.

But, even so: it’s something to keep an eye on!

~≈⚖️≈~

I have to admit, I’m sorely tempted to design a t-shirt.

Or, at least, get one printed.

I’ve even got a couple of Paranoia themed designs in mind.

These: 




They’ll probably get someone offended: we’ll have to see.
