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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
Thank you.
