Star Trek Discovery — Series 5 Episode 10 — “Life, Itself” — A Review

30th May, 2024: the Introduction.

It’s official: it’s Thursday.

And … ?

Frankly, today is the day … where the last episode of Star Trek Discovery is broadcast.

Aired?

Streamed?

Whatever!

At any rate, I — and a few Jammie Dodgers — going to be watching that episode.

Then telling you about it, and the series it closes, tomorrow night.

I’ll see you then!

Star Trek Discovery — Series 5 Episode 9 — “Lagrange Points” — A Review

23rd May, 2024: an announcement.

Right … Whilst dinner’s doing … ?

I’m going to do my usual thing.

Stare off, mournfully, into the middle distance … before I remind you that it’s Thursday.

Which means I’m going to be watching Star Trek Discovery’s latest episode, “Lagrange Points”, tonight.

Then … ?

Telling you about it, tomorrow night!

I’ll see you then.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 5 Episode 7 — “Erigah” — A Review

*Spoilers*

9th May, 2024: an introduction.

Right, then.

It’s officially Thursday.

And frankly?

I can smell the smell of dinner being done!

Yes: I’ve had my blood tests done!

Yes: I’ve posted this morning’s Teaser.

And yes: I’m wondering where I put a lot of old CDs!

I’m just thankful I had some of the missing music on an old computer*!

~≈🖖≈~

At any rate … ?

I’m burbling: not a good thing when potatoes are involved!

I’m going to get off, eat dinner, then watch “Erigah”, the next episode of Star Trek Discovery’s last series.

I’ll see you in the (metaphorical) morning.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 5 Episode 6 — “Whistlespeak” — A Review

2nd May, 2024.

It’s officially official: it’s Thursday.

You’ve possibly already noticed that, haven’t you … ?

Yes: you have, haven’t you … ?

You’re possibly aware that — here in the UK — it’s local election day.

I went Green in the local Council elections.

And spoilt my vote in the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner election.

There was literally no-one I felt I could vote for.

At any rate, you don’t want to hear about my politics, do you?

No … you’re here for me to remind you it’s Thursday … and that I’m going to have dinner … 

Then watch “Whistlespeak”, the sixth episode of Star Trek Discovery’s last series.

By the time you read this written review?

Or watch its video equivalent?

It’s going to be Friday.

Hopefully?

I’ll see you then … 

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 5 Episode 5 — “Mirrors” — A Review

25th April, 2024: an introduction.

Right … 

It’s official.

It’s Discovery night!

OK, alright.

It’s Thurday.

Which means … 

Yes: I am going to be watching the next episode of Star Trek Discovery.

Once I’ve had dinner!

I’ve got just one question.

Why on Earth didn’t I but some sliced cheese, when I got the chance?

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 5 Episode 4 — “Face the Strange” — A Review

18th April, 2024: an announcement.

It’s officially official.

I’ve spent most of this afternoon explaining Dune to one old friend: and Handbrake settings to another.

Heigh ho!

At any rate … ?

I have the evening free: and dinner is cooking.

And, once that’s done?

I’ll be watching “Face the Strange”: the fourth episode of Star Trek Discovery’s last season.

By the time you read this … ?

My review will be published … !

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 5 Episode 3 — “Jinaal” — A Review

11th April, 2024: the Introduction.

It’s officially official: it’s still Thursday!

And, frankly?

Dinner is being done.

Chicken, if you must know.

The pie I was looking was … well … 

I couldn’t get the tin open!

Arrrgh!

~≈🖖≈~

At any rate … ?

Dinner’s doing.

And, once it’s done, and eaten?

I’ll be watching “Jinaal” — the third episode of Star Trek Discovery’s last season— and telling you all about it: tomorrow night!

I’ll see you then!

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Season 5 Episode 2 — “Under The Twin Moons” — A Review

6th April, 2024: the Announcement!

Which … it’s officially official.

It’s early on Saturday evening.

Or late afternoon.

Depending on whether you think it’s afternoon or evening … when it’s still daylight out!

At any rate … ?

Dinner is officially being cooked.

The soundtrack for the original version of The Omen is playing in the background.

And — by the time you read this? — I will have seen “Under the Twin Moons”, the second episode of Star Trek Discovery’s fifth season.

Right … back, tomorrow … 

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Season 5 Episode 1 — “Red Directive” — A Review

4th April, 2024: the introduction.

Yes: it’s still, officially, Thursday: as anyone who’s read my early morning quiz will have realised.

And yes: I’ve been making videos.

There’s something of a long story, there!

At any rate … ?

Dinner — a baked spud, some vegetables, and chicken kyiv — is being done as we speak.

Once that’s done … ?

I’ll be watching “Red Directive”, the first episode of Star Trek Discovery’s fifth and final series.

Then letting you know what I thought: tomorrow night.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 4 Episode 5 — The Examples — A Review

22nd April, 2022.

Right at the moment … ?

I’m doing two things.

Dinner: fish and chips, again.

And, much as I’d like to have more than peas with it?

I won’t, until tomorrow: when I go shopping!

That’s one thing.

The other thing … ?

I’ve started this post on a Friday: and watching The Examples: the fifth episode of Star Trek: Discovery’s fourth season, and letting you know what I thought, by tomorrow, at the latest.

~≈🚀≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 4 Episode 4 — All is Possible — A Review

15th April, 2022.

Right … it’s a Friday, again: Good Friday, in fact.

Personally?

I’m doing nothing special.

Although, if you want to phone and buy me dinner?

You’d be wasting you’re money: I’ve got what little food I’ve got, on the hob.

Fish and chips, again: although quite where the tradition of having on a Friday comes from, I don’t know.

At any rate?

It’s a Friday.

And — as I’ve been doing for the past few weeks — I’m going to be settling in with an episode of Star Trek Discovery’s fourth series.

Episode 4, so you know: I’ll have this finished on Saturday, 16th April.

I’ll see you tomorrow at the latest.

~≈🚀≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 4 Episode 3 — Choose to Live — A Review

8th April, 2022.

It’s Friday: as I think I mentioned in today’s Teaser.

And the end of — for me — what feels like a long week.

Meetings, Zoom calls, more Zoom calls, and trips — however brief — to Chelmsford.

I could’ve done with out the Zoom meeting — an interview — on Monday.

Let’s just say it went badly, and leave it there, shall we … ?

At any rate: it’s Friday.

Which means to things, by now.

Fish and homemade chips.

And Choose to Live: the third episode of Star Trek Discovery’s fourth season.

I’m writing this intro on Friday, 8th April, 2022: and should have the written and video review up by tomorrow night.

Saturday, 9th April, 2022.

Assuming I don’t choke on a chip, or get hit by a car!.

~≈🚀≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 4 Episode 1 — Kobayashi Maru — A Review

25th March, 2022.

Right … my dinner is almost ready to be eaten: or, at least, be shoved on a plate.

Then eaten.

After that … ?

I’ll be washing up: then doing what I’ve been saying I should do for a couple of weeks, now.

Catching up with season four of Star Trek Discovery.

This reviews up, tomorrow: hopefully, I’ll see you then.

~≈🚀≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 3 Episode 13 — That Hope Is You, Pt 2 — A Review

30th January, 2021.

Right … It’s getting late.

Which means … ?

Frankly, the older I get, the more a cocoa, an early night, and a Charlie Parker LP, sound like a good idea!

When I find one I recognise on Spotify, I’ll let you know … !

At any rate … ?

I’m starting this on a Saturday night.

With the intention of finishing it tomorrow night.

And telling you about the last episode of Star Trek Discovery’s third series, in the process.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 3 Episode 12 — There Is a Tide — A Review

23rd January, 2021.

Right … It’s got to be said: I have HAD dinner.

Home made chicken stew, if you’re curious.

Complete with chicken, chicken stock, carrots, mushrooms, onions, peppers … and an otherwise perfectly innocent parsnip that didn’t deserve to be chopped up and put in a pot!

Personally … ?

I think it went down well.

Although, frankly?   I think starting it earlier — and letting the thing take longer to reduce —could’ve helped thicken it.

We live and learn.

At any rate … ?

That’s possibly a discussion for another day.

Tonight … ?

I’m doing my usual thing of getting an early night, with a good read.

After telling you a couple of things.

One?

I got a Tweet from DJ, Annie Nightingale: I was glued to her Sunday night show back in the 1980s.

A Duranie always wrote their fan club no. At the bottom right corner of fan letters. a matter of supreme irrelevance till I unwittingly caught out while interviewing, deadpan,@french&saunders being Duranies in a live sketch and asked for their fan club numbers. Fort, on Radio!

— annie nightingale (@aanightingale) January 23, 2021

She’s the DJ that introduced me to an utter belter!

The fact I’ve also seen another episode of Star Trek Discovery’s third series?

Is almost incidental!

~≈🖖🏼≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 3 Episode 11 — Su’Kal — A Review

16th January, 2021.

I have to admit, I’m getting the hang of a couple of things.

The first?

Those introduction videos.

Saying that … ?

I may need to do them slightly differently.

Just a straight “I’m having dinner, then I’m going to watch TV,” seems to be … well …

Not quite doing myself justice.

At any rate?

Yes: I’ve had dinner.

Pasta: with home made bolognese sauce: with added spring onions, as I had some begging.

It was certainly fragrant, cooking.

And yes: I’ve seen episode eleven of Star Trek Discovery’s third series.

~≈🖖🏼≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 3 Episode 10 — Terra Firma Pt 2 — A Review

9th January, 2021.

OK … 

It’s … 

As much as I’d say it’s late on a Saturday night?

It’s also possibly not.

It’s just gone 20:42.

Twenty to nine, if you want to put it that way.

Frankly?

I’m going to get an early night, I think.

I’m still reading Arthur Machen’s The White People and Other Weird Stories: and it’s getting to some of the interesting tales.

But … ?

I wanted to make sure I’d let you know one thing.

I’ve seen the tenth episode of Star Trek Discovery’s third series.

And wanted to get started on the post about it.

~≈🖖🏻≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 3 Episode 9 — Terra Firma Pt 1 — A Review

3rd January, 2021.

Right … 

Right at the moment, it’s late — ish — on a Sunday night.

I’ve had dinner: and have to confess, I make a mean spaghetti sauce.

And, frankly?

Right at the moment, I want to go to bed: with a good read.

I’ve some Arthur Machen to read.

But?

But I want to get started on this post: to tell you about the next episode of Star Trek Discovery’s third series that I’d seen.

~≈🖖🏻≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 3 Episode 8 — The Sanctuary — A Review

26th December, 2020.

Right … 

It’s late enough on a Saturday night: that going to bed has appeal.

On top of that?   My right arm still aches from the ’flu jab I had, this time last week: too much typing’s mildly awkward.

On top of that … ?

The bedtime reading’s getting intriguing.

I’m going through a Arthur Machen collection of weird tales: called The White People and other Weird Tales.

It’s … 

Yes, weird possibly doesn’t cover it.

The couple at the centre of the tale, Edward and Mary Darnell?   Are having strange, unearthly, eldritch and distinctly odd discussions … 

About whether they should buy a new oven, decorate the box room, or have Aunt Marian come to stay with them … !

Weird doesn’t even start … !

At any rate: I’m going to happily finish this post, tomorrow.

Which is when I’ll tell you episode 8 of Star Trek Discovery’s third series … !

~≈🖖🏻≈~

Star Trek Discovery — Series 3 Episode 7 — Unification III — A Review.

19th December, 2020.

Right … it’s a Saturday night: and I’m writing this introduction: in the knowledge I’ve just seen another episode of Star Trek Discovery’s third series.

And writing it towards the end of a day that’s started badly.

Go read today’s Teaser, if you’d like to know more!

At any rate … ?

Before I hit the sack, I wanted you to know I’d seen Unification III.

And that my bedtime listening … ?

Is the complete recordings of the late Robert Johnson.

If those eighty-three years songs don’t scare the life out of you … ?

I don’t know what will … !
