The mighty algorithm threw this old skit up.  It appears timeless at this point.

Since I'm a tightwad on the tech front - my hard cap for a cell phone is $300, and I always buy the lowest spec/price computer hardware to meet my needs - most tech videos are not for me, but the comedy videos from Sam Tucker popped up on my feed a month or two ago, and they always make me chuckle.  YouTube is THE place for skit comedy.

This is a great mystery series, very long episodes, though. I just finished S1.

There are two ongoing series I'm currently watching: Foundation and Alien: Earth. I also watched the first three episodes of King & Conqueror the other day; interesting enough and good acting.

Finished rewatching the US office (after many years) although I didn't include season 9. Season 8 was a step down because of the departure of Michael Scott (Steve Carell). It's not that I find Michael Scott the most entertaining character, but he is the center about which the more interesting characters revolve. Season 9 is all about Jim and Pam's fracturing relationship, which I found irritating.

I went back to rewatch the UK office. I didn't properly remember how different the UK version was. David Brent was much more objectionable, pathetic and incompetent than Michael Scott, and there is so much more inexcusable behavior in Slough than in Scranton. The UK version is short (only 12 episodes in the main series) that there is not so much character development outside David, Tim, Dawn and Garret. But the summing up in the two part Christmas special was very effective.

Yes, I enjoyed the recent season of Foundation even though I still remember the twist (despite reading the trilogy in middle school!). The twist hasn't been revealed in the show but heavily hinted at.

I've been watching Alien Earth, and the latest episode was awesome. And the exploration of AI, consciousness, and posthuman evolution is great stuff. And I also like the variety of aliens instead of just the xenomorph. Especially the eye.

Started this and enjoying it very much.

But while it doesn't especially bother me and I doubt I'm the first person to comment on it, they take the use of Dutch Angles to extreme lengths. Even unimportant establishing shots are listing heavily one way or another, for no dramatic or aesthetic purpose. I wonder even if the use in conversation scenes of contrasting shot-reverse-shot skews might induce seasickness in some viewers.
