You know, today is my only day off, this week.
Really.
And, as much as I complain about how my hours go up and down … ?
There are times when less hours — on double the money — seems nice.
As would a humongous great lottery win.
Nothing fancy: just enough to pay off my debts, buy my flat, take driving lessons, refurbish my kitchen, buy a new Mac, and a bigger TV …
And possibly buy anyone who asks nicely a new computer, but, hey … !
At ANY rate … ?
A night off …
A night off, a TV set, and an Apple TV streaming box?
And a couple more episodes of The Man in the High Castle?
Well, it’s be rude, not too, frankly.

Episode 3 — The Illustrated Woman — sees a bounty hunter called the Marshal — Burn Gorman — turn up in town: looking for the man Juliana — Alexa Davalos — had killed in the previous episode.
Meanwhile, Frank … ? Frank — Rupert Evans — has to visit his brother-in-law, and break the sad news …
Episode 4 — Revelations — sees Joe saving Juliana from the Marshal: fully aware that the have to both escape: AND get the film to the Resistance.
The only way they have of convincing him? Is for Juliana to to fake her own death.
Meanwhile? Meanwhile, Frank … has decided there’s really only one thing he can do with a Colt .45 he’s acquired.
Use it on the visiting Japanese Crown Prince …

Now …
Good … ?
Actually, yes: I think so.
OK, granted each episode is slow: I think that’s a function of Amazon Prime works.
As far as I can see, it has no ad-breaks.
So an hour long drama? Really IS an hour.
So an hour long drama? Really IS an hour.
Frankly? That’s why I’m watching two episode a night: rather than the three of — say — American Horror Story.
Frankly?
It’s taken me a little longer to get involved with The Man in the High Castle.
But involved I’m getting …

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
