Yes … I’ve got a night off … !
OK …
I haven’t, really …
I’ve just got another free evening where I’ve nothing better to do, then watch TV.
Oh …
And possibly complain about my bank.
My main one … ?
Was shut, today.
A planned closure, apparently, and one that got me complaining on Twitter.
@AskHalifaxBank why on Earth is the Brentwood branch shut?I can see it's a planned closure, but STILL want to know WHY ...— Paul Downie (@Cuddy2977) February 22, 2019
Honestly, you’d think whoever manages a bank’s social media account would be told these things.
Just in case any complaining customers happen to … you know … publicly whinge on Twitter!
~≈§≈~
At any rate, that’s not — necessarily — why I’m here.
No.
I like TV shows.
Right now, one particular favourite? Is the hit Spanish hit that is El Ministerio del Tiempo/The Ministry of Time.
But man does not live by bravas*, alone!
Nope … just as with food, we have to have the occasional change of pace.
Yep …
It’s Friday …
Episode 6 — The Sounds of Thunder — opens with a log entry from Saru (Doug Jones): telling us how almost dying a few episodes ago is having an impact.
It seems losing the ganglia that alert many of his species to threat … ?
Has literally left him incapable of feeling fear …
But also sympathetic to the newly revived Hugh Culber (Wilson Cruz): who’s struggling with returning from the dead.
It’s only whilst in sick bay … ?
That a red alert goes out.
One of the mysterious red signals has been spotted …
Just above a planet called Kaminar.
Home to the Ba’ul … and the Kelpians: Saru’s own people …
There’s trouble, afoot …
~≈§≈~
Now … good … ?
Actually, yes: the cast are on par, as ever, the writing and directing, done well …
And we find more about Saru’s home world: and the things that make Kelpians tick.
What’s more?
I said, last week, that the past few episodes were maybe a little too fast: a little too zippy, to be frank.
The Sounds of Thunder gets the pacing spot on.
If the show’s producers are reading this?
A few more episodes paced like the would be good.
* Regular, Olga, mentioned patatas braves awhile ago. They sound easy to make, although I’ve no idea how to make the sauce … !

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.
