It’s a bit of a … you know … conundrum … !
I am actually missing a series from my otherwise flawless Dr Who collection: and I don’t know where it’s gone!
The Creature from The Pit, wouldn’t you know?
If anyone’s got a spare copy I could beg borrow, I would LOVE to hear from you!
It’s going to bother me for minutes! Ahem!
At ANY rate … ?
~≈§≈~
At ANY rate, and as you’d possibly guessed?
I’ve not been without a favourite piece of TV.
Oh, no.
No, tonight?
On my last day off of the week? I got to do two things.
1). Check in with my GP. You HAVE to, after the sort of weekend I’ve had.
And …
2). Watch more of the second season of The Man in the High Castle.
Because you have to … !
~≈§≈~
Episode 6 — Kintsugi — Sees Juliana (Alexas Davalos) getting closer to the Smith family friends: Lucy in particular.
Over in Berlin? Joe (Luke Kleintank) is getting closer to Nichole (Bella Heathcote) … and getting invited to some of the best parties.
Back in the Pacific States, Inspector Kido (Joel de la Fuente) has discovered that Hawthorne Abendsen (Stpehen Root) — the Man in the High Castle, himself — has burnt out the remains of his most recent base … and that the Kempetai aren’t The only Japanese group interested in this.
Tagomi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) is nowhere NEAR his office. No: he’s found himself elsewhere … talking things over with a wife long since gone in his world … and a son who’s married to an alternative version of Juliana Craine …

Episode 7 — Land O’ Smiles, on the other hand? Sees Bob Children and Ed McCarthy (Brennan Brown and DJ Qualls) going to visit the Yakuza, to pay protection money …
Only to see them shot by a Kempetai raid.
Meanwhile, Frank (Rupert Evans) … ? Has been ordered to plant a bomb at a site regularly visit by senior Japanese military forces in the Pacific States.
Only to call off the mission … as he realises the Japanese are building an atomic bomb on the site.
Back east? Juliana has found out That the Smith family’s eldest child, Thomas (Quinn Lord) is a lot less fit than anyone realises.
Things … are hotting up …
~≈§≈~
Now …
Good … ? Yes: series two of The Man in the High Castle is getting good.
It’s ever so slowing building to the climax the characters have realised is in store for them: that San Francisco is to be bombed.
By showing Frank the building of a bomb: and making it his focus of his story.
By showing Juliana the film: and (seemingly) shifting her focus from her home town’s destruction to spying on the people she thinks are an enemy … And by showing Trade Minister Tagomi’s an alternative: where his homeland had been ravaged.
I’m guessing, here: that San Francisco is to be bombed.
I’m wanting to see what happens …

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.
