Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th March, 2019.

9th March, 2019.

Yes: it’s true.

I managed to catch another episode of Star Trek: Discovery, last night.

And have to say: it was quite an enjoyable episode.

Ethan Peck — Gregory’s grandson — as Spock?

Is wonderfully restrained, I should add.

About the show’s only flaw?

Is that, at the moment … ?

As good as Star Trek: Discovery is?   And it is good: well acted, entertaining, very well written.

One?   With Talos 4 getting a mention in last night’s episode?   There’s a certain amount of fan wank going on.   In the sense that the Talosians were only there to gives a nice little … ahem … frissom.

Two?   I’m thinking El Mininsterio del Tiempo is the better series.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-3-2017

You know, in amongst the Budget news, yesterday?

Was all sorts of stuff.

Big news on the Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar front?

Was that I managed to catch a movie: although I don’t know whether I was impressed with Nosferatu*: but I CAN say I’ve seen it.

On other fronts?

I wrote, yesterday, that one man had been prosecuted for selling what’s called ‘fully loaded’ Kodi boxes.

In a follow up piece?

We see that the Premier League has managed to get a court order: to clamp down on the servers that are broadcast illegally streamed matches.

Given how Kodi boxes operate?

My biggest concern is the knock on effect.

I’m concerned that researchers and developers won’t necessarily have the legal manoeuvring room to do their jobs properly.

Doing what the League’s done, and trying to block what the servers are doing?   Rather than the writers of the add-ons, the sellers of the boxes, or the people that buy or use them?

Seems a better way of doing things.
