I think some mistake your distaste as resounding praise, but I suspect before the recent disagreement over the border not many could tell you a single think about Ukraine.

*cough* Chernobyl *cough* so make it two things instead of a single thing.

It is clear that many people resort to false dilemma thinking and arguments all the time.

Surely DSCH fans could at least cite Babi Yar.

Most people have no idea not only about Ukraine but about practically any country in the world outside their own. And what they think they know is purely anecdotal. So, what follows from that?

My friends and I used to spend a lot of time in the 1970s playing the board game Risk, from which we learned that Ukraine was the largest country in Europe 🇺🇦.

I am often confused when I see maps of Ukraine because I know how it's supposed to be shaped, thanks to Axis & Alllies.

The first episode of the new series Ludwig. Of course, with such a title, the music inevitably contains numerous quotes and references to Beethoven.

Really liked this first episode. Quirky and funny.

[Iota]

I'm a few episodes in to Ludwig and enjoying it too. The frequent and spiced-up appearances of the Tempest sonata last movement and other sundry LVB quotes have pretty successfully aligned with the gentle comedy of the show so far. I thought they might rather quickly become bothersome.

    The 4th season of Slow Horses features Hugo Weaving as a villain. He plays an American and there's more than a touch of Agent Smith in his speech. I don't mind at all.

I'm still in season 1, but I look forward to it!

According to Jim

Sometimes, you just want a dumb sitcom starring two gorgeous leading ladies (Courtney Thorne-Smith, Kimberly Williams-Paisley).


I refused to watch it for years because I didn't like Jim Belushi, but at some point I got over that. (Maybe it was his appearance on Twin Peaks The Return)

So this evening I was thinking about finally watching the show, and I was pleased to learn it's on Prime.

I finished S2 of the X-Files. It was much better than S1, with few duds and many bangers. And the main plot thread had multiple episodes actually developing and advancing the story. This season has Scully being abducted, the introduction of the Alien Bounty Hunter, the revelation surrounding Mulder's Father... and one of the best episodes of the X-Files, The Soft Light guest starring Tony Shalhoub.

[Todd]

...the introduction of the Alien Bounty Hunter...

One of the great TV villains.  I think season two kicked off the Native American sub-plot to the main arc as well.

Yes, that was the season finale! It's a great one, even just for Scully shooting Mulder.
