Being The
Geekly Diary of Waider

- May 05
- Forgot we had a couple of episodes of Doctor Who to catch up on,
so we did that. The second was a little odd; a Doctor Who episode
mostly without the titular character.
- May 04
- Bosch: sigh, yes. Last episode was a highly-compressed
open-and-shut that seems to be explicitly intended to tease the new
not-Harry series.
Wound up following the above with some vintage Hammer Horror:
Dracula, Prince of Darkness
with none other than Christopher Lee, and The Plague of the Zombies.
They are what they are: special effects to laugh at, somewhat
clunky scripts, and more ham than a pig farm.
- May 03
- Bosch: seems like the case wrapped rather abruptly. Kinda hope
they're not saving the last episode as a teaser for
Ballard.
- May 02
- Bosch: Legacy: yes yes we'd already sussed that Jimmy's shooting
was questionable. Still enjoying it, thought.
- May 01
- And finale. The issue of how they managed to cross their own
timelines was not resolved. They made a big deal about one last
trip but the other last trip wasn't even referred
to. Flynn got a raw deal. "Hurrah you're a hero, but noone will
ever know". Giant act of destruction completely offscreen, since I
guess maybe they didn't have the budget to convcingly blow
something up? Nitpickery, to be honest. They did a reasonable job
of sticking the landing.
Right, now what? Oh yeah. We have some episodes of Bosch:
Legacy.
- April 30
- And here we go, finale part one. They seem to be setting up a
bunch of dominoes, funnily enough.
DVD ripping project temporarily on hold because I was distracted
by having to reboot for an OS upgrade, which means all my context
is lost. I'll get back to it.
- April 29
- Killing a major cast character? In this economy? Oh
yeah. It was actually the 2018 economy. I'm sure it seemed like a
good idea at the time.
- April 28
- Inching towards the end of Timeless; it's gotten really good in
the second season, but I guess Line Didn't Go Up Enough. At least
they get to wrap the show.
- April 27
- Learning a bit about GraphQL for my hackery. I kinda wish they'd
formatted the queries as JSON instead of almost JSON.
- April 26
- Aaaand an Inspector George, in which Bacchus finally shows some
initiative and some spine.
Rugby sadness, although on the upside the Irish team finished
third on the table which was I guess what they were aiming for as
a baseline.
