Star Trek Picard — Series 3 Episode 10 — The Last Generation — A Review

21st April,  2023: ‘The Last Generation’.

*Spoilers*

Right … it’s Friday, again: and I’m hoping like hell that my chips haven’t burnt.

I’m having fish and chips, again.

So you know.

Frankly?

I’m looking forward to it.

As … ?

Once I’ve eaten, I’ll be watching ‘The Last Generation’, the last episode of Star Trek Picard.

We’ll have to see how it goes!

Star Trek Picard — Series 3 Episode 9 — Vox — A Review

14th April, 2023: ‘Vox’.

Right …

It’s officially Friday.

And, frankly … ?

Chips are being cooked, washing is being washed, video intros have been made, and stuff, done.

Including phone calls.

The mystery of why we’re supposed to eat fish on a Friday … is still unsolved.

But at least I’m having crinkle cut chips.

At any rate … ?

It’s Friday, once more: and, once I’ve eaten dinner?

I’ll be watching ‘Vox’, the penultimate episode of Star Trek Picard’s third and final season.

I’ll have my review up on the 15the April.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 3 Episode 8 — Surrender — A Review.

7th April, 2023: ‘Surrender’.

Right … it’s Friday, again.

And … ?

Even as I write, vegetables are boiling, chips are cooking … 

And fish is being burnt to billy-o.

At any rate … ?

Dinner is almost done: to a turn.

And, once it’s eaten?

I’ll watch ‘Surrender’, the eighth episode of Star Trek Picard’s third season: and tell you about it, tomorrow night.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 3 Episode 7 — Dominion — A Review

31st March, 2023: ‘Dominion’.

It’s Friday, again.

You can tell, can’t you … ?

The eternal mystery of why we’re supposed to have fish on a Friday is playing itself in front of me — or, at least, to my immediate right — as I write.

Or, at least, I’ve got fish and chips — and some vegetables — on the go as I speak.

Why … ?

Why not?

~≈🖖≈~

At any rate, there’s something else I’ll be thinking about.

Yesterday?

I had a one hour appeal hearing: about whether I qualified for extra financial help from the Department of Work and Pensions.

Hopefully, I will: but … ?

Until I hear — by post, by the 7th April — I won’t know for sure.

It’s both a mystery … and a mildly frustrating case of wait and see.

~≈🖖≈~

At any rate … ?

And I’ll say it, again … it’s Friday.

Which means simply this.

Once I’ve had dinner, I’ll be watching ‘Dominion’, the next episode of Star Trek Picard’s third and final season.

I’ll have my review up, tomorrow.

See you then!

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 3 Episode 6 — The Bounty — A Review

24th March, 2023: ‘The Bounty’.

Frankly … ?

It’s Friday: and … ?

Fish and chips are being cooked, as ever.

And … ?

Equally as frankly, I’ve just seen this video: 

And am wondering why many Americans boil water for tea … in the microwave!

That … ?

Like fish on a Friday, is possibly one of those mysteries we’ll never know the answer to!

At any rate … ?

It’s Friday, 24th March: and I’ll be the next episode of Star Trek Picard — ‘The Bounty’ — tonight.

And then?

Reviewing it, tomorrow.

I’ll see you then!

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 3 Episode 5 — Imposters — A Review

17th March, 2023: ‘Imposters’.

*Spoilers*

Right … it’s Friday … and … ?

I’m getting nearer to eating dinner.

But nowhere nearer the reason we’re supposed to eat fish and chips on a Friday.

Beyond the idea that a bishop told us too.

Or … that we fancy a walk to the chippy.

I know I do: but I’m having home made, thank you.

I couldn’t afford a take out, unless you paid me.

The tip jar’s on the right, if you’re feeling generous!

At any rate … ?

It’s Friday.

And, once I’ve had dinner?

I’ll be watching the next episode of Star Trek Picard … then telling you what I thought about it, tomorrow night.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 3 Episode 3 — Seventeen Seconds — A Review

3rd March, 2023: ‘Seventeen Seconds’.

Right … it’s official Friday, 3rd March.

Which implies a few things.

Yes: it’s my birthday, tomorrow.

I’m going to have my usual Saturday night review up, a little earlier than expected.

Or possibly later.

One of the two.

If you’d like to make to make my weekend, and buy me a Mac Studio … ?

You’d be welcome to!

It also implies I’m cooking my usual dinner.

Fish and chips … again.

I know that — here in the UK — we’re have the meal as a result of Roman Catholic religious practises from the time we were a collection of squabbling Catholic nations.

If someone with half an idea could let me know, I’d appreciate it!

At any rate … ?

And to reiterate?

It’s Friday, and I’m going to be watching ‘Seventeen Seconds’: the next episode of Star Trek Picard’s last series.

And … ?

I’ll have my written and video reviews up, tomorrow night … once I’ve had a celebratory birthday meal.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 3 Episode 2 — Disengage — A Review

SPOILERS!

24th February, 2023: ‘Disengage.’

Right … 

It’s a Friday: again.

And?

Even as we speak, vegetables are boiling, chips — or, at least, chip shaped rose potatoes — are cooking … 

And fish … ?

Is, likewise, being cooked.

Why … ?   I still don’t know.

Explanations on the back of a postcard, please!

~≈🖖≈~

At any rate, the point I’m trying to make?

Is that it’s Friday: and, again?

I’m going to watching another episode of Star Trek Picard, tonight.

Episode two, so you know: called ‘Disengage.’

I’ll have this review finished, and posted, tomorrow night.

I’ll see you then.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 3 Episode 1 — The Next Generation — A Review

17th February, 2023: The Next Generation.

Right … I’ve officially got dinner on the go.

Fish and chips: again.

This time last Friday … ?

I was telling you about classic Doctor Who series, ‘The Crusade’: the last episode, at any rate.

And Sunday?   Saw me watching — then reviewing — episode two of For All Mankind.

Right now … ?

Dinner’s a’cooking.

Fish and chips, again.

Once that’s eaten?

I’ll be settling in to watch ‘The Next Generation’: the first episode of Star Trek Picard’s third and last series.

You’ll find out more, tomorrow: when I publish my written and video reviews.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 2 Episode 10 — Farewell — A Review

26th August, 2022.

It’s a Friday evening: and … ?

I’m going to be having dinner: again!

Any minute now, in fact.

After that … ?

I’m going to do my usual thing: and watch another episode of Star Trek Picard.

It’s called Farewell: and it’ll be the last Picard episode I watch for a while, as it’s the last in the current series.

I’ll have my review up, tomorrow: and will see you then.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 2 Episode 9 — Hide and Seek — A Review

19th August, 2022.

It’s Friday: you’d noticed, hadn’t you … ?

It‘s a Friday: and, as ever, I’m doing dinner.

Fish and chips, so you know.

Why we’re supposed to fish on a Friday?   Is an old Catholic tradition, apparently.

One that was the reason behind the creation of the McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish.

One of these days?   I’ll possibly do a Teaser about that.

At any rate … ?

It’s Friday.

And that means I’ll be watching the next episode of Star Trek Picard’s second series: episode nine, Hide and Seek.

I’m looking forward to it.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 2 Episode 8 — Mercy — A Review

12th August, 2022.

Right … it’s Friday: and dinner is cooking.

As ever.

It’s fish and homemade chips: again.

And frankly?

I’m wondering why on Earth we’re supposed to have fish on a Friday?

I don’t actually know!

That’s beside the point, I think.

It’s Friday.

Which means I’ll be watching Mercy, the next episode of Star Trek Picard’s second season.

And be telling you about it, tomorrow night.

I’ll see you then!

~≈🖖≈~

Oh, JUST as a thought … ?

The Teaser I mentioned in the intro … ?   Is the one for 13th August: Left Hander’s Day.

Feel free to have a go!

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 2 Episode 7 — Monsters — A Review

5th August, 2022.

It’s got to be said, it’s Friday, again!

You know that: you’ve looked at the calendar, in the same way I’ve done!

If you’ve read today’s Teaser?

You’ve possibly worked out I had a couple of phone meetings: which went well enough.

And — if you’ve been following me a while — that I like a TV show or two.

Currently?   I’m watching series four of Stranger Things on Tuesdays, and releasing my reviews on Wednesdays.

Fridays?   Today, in other words?

I’m doing my usual thing … 

Watching the next episode of Star Trek Picard.

Once the chips are done!

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 2 Episode 6 — Two of One — A Review

29th July, 2022.

It’s officially Friday.

And tomorrow?   Is going to be Saturday.

You’ve probably worked that out, haven’t you?

If you’ve been following my blog for the last few weeks?   You’ve possibly realised that I’ve been watching Stranger Things, series four on Tuesdays: and reviewing the episodes on Wednesdays.

I’ve been watching the second season of Star Trek Picard on Fridays, and posting my written and video reviews of each episode on Saturdays.

Tonight, of course, is Friday: so, on top of mentioning today’s Teaser — just in case you were wondering about the stuff I mentioned in the intro video —I’ll be watching the next episode, called Two of One.

I’ll have my reviews finished by tomorrow.

I’ll see you then.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 2 Episode 5 — Fly Me to the Moon — A Review

22nd July, 2022.

Today is one of those rare things.

Where?   Frankly, I can actually afford a takeaway.

As a result of both getting paid: and having a little left over from the Cost of Living Payment, earlier this week.

I think fish and chips would be in order, frankly.

So no actual change, there!

There’s no actual change in what else I’ll be doing, either.

I’ll be doing what I usually do: over the last few Tuesdays and Fridays.

Yes: I’ll be watching a TV show.

Tonight sees me watching episode five of Star Trek Picard’s second season, Fly My To The Moon.

I’ll have my written and video review up, by tomorrow night.

I’ll see you then!

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 2 Episode 4 — Watcher — A Review

15th July, 2022.

Did I say Friday nights are a good night to boil vegetables?

Friday’s a good night to boil vegetables.

Especially is — like me — you like having dinner, occasionally.

At any rate … ?

It’s another Friday night: one with dinner … 

And the fourth episode of Star Trek Picard’s second series.

Once I’ve watched Watcher?

I’ll be telling you about it: tomorrow night.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 2 Episode 3 — Assimilation — A Review

8th July, 2022.

Right … It’s almost dinner time.

At least … it’s the part of the late afternoon where I’m cooking dinner!.

Fish and chips: again.

It’s Friday, after all!

At any rate?

Over the past few months, I’ve been watching TV on a Friday: catching up with Star Trek Discovery over the months.

And Star Trek Picard, more recently.

I’ve also been watching the fourth series of Stranger Things: on Tuesdays.

While you’re welcome to watch my video reviews of the series, that’s possibly something for another day.

Tuesdays, rather than Fridays … 

I’m rambling a touch, aren’t I … ?

It’s Friday.

I’m going to have dinner, then watch Assimilation, the next episode of Star Trek Picard.

Then?

By tomorrow night?

I’m going to tell you about it.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 2 Episode 2 — Penance — A Review

1st July, 2022.

Yes: it’s Friday, again.

And frankly?

Dinner is cooking.

The ever-so-traditional fish and chips.

On a day where I’ve had my washing machine fixed.

You can always read more about that in today’s Daily Teaser, if you’re interested!

At any rate, it’s a Friday night: which means it’s time for the now traditional TV show.

If you haven’t read last week’s blog post?

I’m started watching Star Trek Picard, series two: tonight will see me watching episode two.

And, as with the past few weeks?

I’ll have my written and video reviews up, by tomorrow night.

I’ll see you then.

~≈🖖≈~

Star Trek Picard — Series 2 Episode 1 — The Star Gazer — A Review

24th June, 2022.

Right … it’s officially a Friday night: and I’m feeling vaguely stressed.

Tonight’s intro video … ?   Took a few goes to do.

Basically?

It seems iMovie really doesn’t like — or recognise! — photos in the .webp format!

Converting the damn image so it would;

• Fit.
• Work.
• Not make me scream in frustration!

Took a while!

At any rate … ?

It’s Friday night.

And I’m continuing something of a tradition.

The past few weeks have seen me watching Star Trek Discovery’s fourth season.

And enjoying it.

Tonight?   Now my stress level’s are down?

I’m going to have dinner … 

And watch The Star Gazer, episode one of Star Trek Picard’s second season.

This post will go live, tomorrow: I’ll tell you all about it, then.

Star Trek Picard — Series 1 Episode 10 — Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2 — A Review

9th April, 2020.

You know, I think I’ve just got the Clap … 

I’m being very metaphorical, here, I should add!

For the past few weeks, the idea of clapping — at 8 o’clock on a Thursday evening — to show ones appreciation for the keyworkers of the National Health Service.

I have to admit to feeling a little bit uncomfortable about it, myself.

Yes: it’s a nice gesture: one that shows our support for a service that is Britain’s finest.

But I can’t help but think it’s exactly that: a gesture.

One we don’t do under normal circumstances, when, maybe, we should.

And a gesture that should be replaced.

By proper funding for their places of work, a more than generous pay-rise for still living staff, good pensions … 

And equally good arrangements for the families of NHS staff who’ve died as a result of Covid-19.

~≈®≈~

All this happened of course, just as I was sitting down in front of the TV.

Gesture, or otherwise?

The least I could do was hold on for five minutes, whilst the applause was going on.

Before I watch the last episode of Star Trek Picard, series one … 

~≈®≈~
