Crap, 24: Legacy is on Monday nights, opposite Supergirl.
Yeah, I can DVR one or the other, or have them magically appear on my PC, but Dad will want to watch 24.
Super Bowl Sunday!
So that was one helluva game.
To be honest, I was just rooting for the Pats to lose. But what a comeback.

24: Legacy was a lot better than I was expecting it to be.

It still takes me quite a while to play a game of Second Season football. I was distracted by the actually football game, though, and I just finished the 1st quarter at the end of the real game.

Game Day food was BBQ pulled pork sliders.
Boba Fett?!? Where?
Tonight I got to meet a couple of folks who wrote what’s considered the ‘bible’ of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
So far, so good…
I’ve kept myself to checking social media once every hour or two, and when I do get on Facebook or Twitter, I log off if I see more than 2-3 political posts in my timeline.
This is for me, not for you. Don’t feel slighted if I or anyone else is checking in less often. We do what we need to do for our own well being.
Meanwhile, I have to get back into the novel Life Debt, as the next book in the Aftermath series comes out in about 2 and a half weeks! Yikes!
And, after watching just the first 10 minutes of the second episode of Riverdale, I’ve decided to stop. It’s just TOO teen angsty and 90’s WB/CW in it’s tone. I’ll stick to the recent Archie Comic by Mark Waid, thanks.
And I liked Powerless. It has potential.
Also, I hope they sell that ‘Sleeping Draymond’ blanket to the general public.
Feb 1st
13th?
I honestly didn’t think it would happen this soon.
Peter Capaldi has announced that he will be leaving Doctor Who after the 2017 Christmas Special.
Damn.
I was hoping that he’d play the Doctor for at least as long as Tom Baker. But he’ll have done the requisite 3 series/seasons that David Tennant and Matt Smith had both done, though Tennant technically did a ‘4th’ season of specials.
Odds have been posted on who the next actor to take the role will be, with my personal pick (Rory Kinnear) currently at 7:1.
I’m saddened, truth be told, that Capaldi is leaving. Depending on how his final series goes, I think he’ll be my second favorite Doctor, after Baker and slightly ahead of, if not just tied with, Christopher Eccleston.
For now, I’ll just say thank you, Doctor.

January 19th, 1967: premiere date of Star Trek episode ‘Arena’
This is arguably my favorite Star Trek episode, ever. The opening shot right before and after the title sequence in one of the best moments of the series.
“Cestus III has been destroyed.”
A red shirt gets killed, Spock’s tricorder is destroyed, and the Gorn is introduced.
I love everything about this episode, from the Metrons to the bamboo cannon Kirk uses to defeat the Gorn captain, who I met a few years back.
This episode is so popular that it’s been referenced throughout Star Trek’s history, and on other shows like The Big Bang Theory.
