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 1 Episode 3 — The End Is the Beginning — A Review

22nd March, 2020.

Yes!

And a very exultant ‘yes,’ that is, too.

I’ve possibly mentioned I have a refurbished laptop: running a version of Ubuntu Mate.

Something I’d originally been planning to use to hunt for jobs with: in Brentwood Library.

Oh, and explore a different operating system with.

I’v officially found a free screen recorder I can use with the thing: called — appropriately enough — SimpleScreenRecorder.

I managed to record the playback of a recent game of Battle for Wesnoth with it.

OK, that sort of turn based RPG isn’t going to be everyones cup of tea: neither is installing a screen recorder.

But hey … I’m happy.

~≈¥≈~

Or, at least, feeling cheerful … ish … 

Cheerful enough to catch an episode of my current favourite TV show.

Series one of Star Trek Picard … !

Oh, boy!

Star Trek Picard — Series 1 Episode 2 — Maps and Legends — A Review

20th March, 2020.

It’s officially official: I’m unemployed.

But you knew that, anyway: especially if you’ve been following me for a while.

So … ?

I don’t get out much.

Given the circumstances?

That’s possibly a good thing.

As the government has informed pubs, bars, restaurants and gyms that they should close up, tonight … 

And stay closed for an indefinite amount of time from tomorrow.

That’s going to hurt the industry.

Speaking as an ex barman?

There’s going to be a lot more of us, around.

There’s also my former profession: of pub quiz master.

I know one of two quiz masters, DJs, musicians who are now out of work.

Ans, as self employed … ?

I don’t know if the qualify for the help the government’s offering.

~≈†≈~

At any rate … ?

Not going out … ?

Not going out means … a lot of things, actually.

But mainly … ?

That I’m going to be the usual thing.

Yes.

Watching a lot of TV.

Tonight … ?   I’ve caught another episode of Star Trek Picard’s first series …

Star Trek: Picard — Series 1: Episode 1 — Remembrance — A Review

17th March, 2020.

Yes: Britain is — at least in theory — in some sort of lockdown.

Because of Covid 19: the Corona virus.

I’m feeling … in two minds.

I’m aware it’s going to be nasty: especially for those of us in vulnerable groups.

But … ?

I’m in a weight management class: I’m obese, diabetic and Lord knows what else.

And appreciate the fact I’ve somewhere to go: in order to monitor my weight, while I’m trying to lose the gut.

And it’s been cancelled.

Cancelled!

Because of the Corona virus.

I can appreciate the outbreak’s seriousness, I really can.

But, as someone also struggling with his health, I’m bloody annoyed!

~≈¥≈~

At any rate … ?

At any rate, I’ve been stuck indoors for a while: not having the money to go out.

I do know I’ve still got things to do.

Quizzes to write, jobs to hunt, laundry to dry … 

And media to rifle through.

One particular series I’ve been meaning to catch up with … ?

Is the 2020 Star Trek spin off, Star Trek: Picard

.

The first episode of series one, as you’re asking.
