If the USA wants readmission to the human race now or in the foreseeable future, Orange Face & his associates including Mr Nazi Salute should hang or go to the electric chair and the executions be transmitted live worldwide. Oh, and the GOP be completely gutted and assets seized pro bono publico. ✊

As a very little boy, I wondered if Brian Cant of Play School was Captain Kirk, but to be fair, there is a resemblance! 😂

S1 Ep4, Conduit. S1 Ep9, Space. Brilliant episodes, both! 👽

FWIW, my all-time favourite X Files episode is Episode One of the second season: Little Green Men. Everything about it is superb, especially the pre-credits opening scene! 🎙👽

It is! And while I could have wished for more episodes, to find out what happens next, the story itself is nicely complete in just the 8!

Dennis Cattell @sunshinesuperman.bsky.social · 2d

There's a Netflix show - only 8 episodes - that I think you'd like, called The Irregulars. Give it a go. Think 'Victorian age Sherlock Holmes in The X Files' and that will clue you in to what the show is like!

About 12 of Season 5 and all 10 episodes of Season 6 of LUCIFER to go. I don't want it to end!

Dennis Cattell @sunshinesuperman.bsky.social · 4d

@buffyringer.bsky.social What will I do when I finish watching LUCIFER? I need a constant fix of genre TV! Turn to my shelves for a solution? I've still to watch/finish ROSWELL, POINT PLEASANT,TRU CALLING, GRIMM, HEMLOCK GROVE, LOST GIRL, DEFIANCE, & LEGENDS OF TOMORROW. Spoilt for choice, I guess!

Well, it's a brilliant series and I'm glad that I discovered it now! Can't help thinking that the glimpses we see in it of Hell remind me of the hole in the world in Angel, that Drogan guarded and Ilyria was entombed within until she escaped.

Dennis Cattell @sunshinesuperman.bsky.social · 5d

Why had I never tried this series before? I don't remember any of our set Tweeting about it at any time, actually!

Dennis Cattell @sunshinesuperman.bsky.social · 5d

I'm a couple of episodes into Season 5. (Met his twin brother just now) DB Woodside and his character is a revelation. He does humour and comedy so very well, sad scenes too! I quite like the shy forensic lady, they should bring her to the foreground more!

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

The World Of David Bowie is a good compilation. The tracks were chosen by Kenneth Pitt & David Bowie, including 3 unreleased songs. "I was particularly anxious that the unreleased material should get a hearing as it represented a departure in style from the bulk of David's work on the Deram album."

We had the novel that the film came from as a set text, back in the 70s, in English in secondary school! It was alright, as I recall!

As did I! 👍 ✅️ ✨️

“We can choose decency or we can choose division”
says Labour Prime Minister
whose first acts as Labour leader
were to ditch the 10 pledges
which united the party
and got him elected leader
before instigating a Labour Left purge
including smearing & expelling
the predecessor
he'd called a friend
