        The pilot episode is free on YouTube thanks to CBS:

        Seems to be the trend now, as NBC also released the pilot for Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist on YouTube as well. https://youtu.be/6IKGBlnu9YI

              It's about 50 times stranger / more impactful for me because he looks, sounds, and acts very much like my departed father, and he has those Montaigne depth that draw me in.

              My god I would love to see Stewart do a series on Montaigne's essays. It's such a natural pairing. The man is the very essence of equanimity.

                Blind Date is back on Bravo. The captioning is as funny as Pop Up Video. Also they appear to have decided to only have very pretty girls with big... personalities.

                  Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                        The ending of The Good Place was appropriate and well done. I just ordered the book and I will report back in a few thousand Jeremy Bearemies.

                          Finished The Man in the High Castle last night. The last two episodes were amazing, but the ending seemed... flat. It was good still, but something was just ... off.

                            Have you read the book? Highly recommend (nothing like the series; they basically just used the title).

                                It's wonderful but please treat them as completely separate stories. Only the premise is the same. The book doesn't care at all about the politics or the intrigue, it's Dick's typical philosophical stuff about mind and reality.
