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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Learning a bit about GraphQL for my hackery. I kinda wish they'd formatted the queries as JSON instead of almost JSON.

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.
