All Quiet on The Western Front. I read it because it was the only one of the three books referenced in Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize lecture I had not read. I should let his words be my review. The other two books were The Odyssey and Moby Dick. This is my favorite of the three. Glad I read it.

Today I am thankful for warmth. Heat in my house, a snuggle blanket, something warm to drink, the feel of the sun on a chilly day. The warmth of a chat with a friend, that feeling of seeing or hearing from a loved one, that feeling in your heart.

Malice on Prime Video has a lot of major plot issues and dropped story lines,but it had three things going for it.
1) one of David Duchovny’s finest performances
2) amazing shots-both beautiful and creepy, visually appealing series
3) great sound track-see below
A good enough binge.

Pluribus seems to be a meditation on happiness itself. In our age of social media is the goal not to be perceived as super happy with the best houses, vacations and doing the best things with the coolest friends. Is there a fear something is wrong with us if we are not happy?

Pluribus hasn’t aired but it seems to be about the collective mind vs. individuality. I can see how that is reflective of the time we currently inhabit. I personally fear the MAGA group think when so many of the rest of us have diverse views- not MAGA but also not a single hive

Perhaps the reason the revival seasons didn’t resonate as strongly with some viewer was it failed to tap into our current fears. We obviously should have been afraid of viruses, but the episodes that were the best received were about robotics and, in TLAOFS, the loss of truth itself.

While the Truth might have been out there, the primary premise of the X Files was the danger within. Even the fear of alien life was that they were already here, had been for years,and that they could appear to be like us.

The X Files was of a different time. The Cold War was behind us. We were facing a new millennium. It tended to look more internally at our enemies within our own government and the dark forces within the human psyche, environmental dangers, and human genetic mutations.

In 1994 the article X Factor written by James Walcott was published in the New Yorker. It compared The Twilight Zone to The X Files. He pointed out the similarities, but looked at the differences in fears and threats. The Twilight Zone time was Cold War and external threats.

Vince Gilligan was influenced by The Twilight Zone, worked on The X Files and is the creator and show runner of Pluribus. All three are science fiction, but not set in space and,for the most part, not set in the future but are rooted in the time period in which they aired.

Drop someone scared
![VG: I almost don't want the audience to expect anything. I just want them to be along for the ride and wonder, "Oh, which way is the roller coaster going now?" My heart's desire is not to prepare them at all. The tagline that I used when I pitched to Apple was something like "The most miserable person on Earth tries to save the world from happiness." But some of my favorite experiences ever of watching movies and TV shows were when I went into them cold. I knew nothing about them. And that was such a good experience. What I not so secretly hope for potential viewers of Pluribus is to relax and say, "All right, the guy didn't want to talk about it much, so I'm not going to go seek out information on it. Tell me when it airs. Tell me when I can watch it on streaming and when it hits Apple TV." I want people to just [read this] and say, "All](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ozf5vqaiu3tl63yqubw3ucb4/bafkreifgizplkrrsgobrlmxse73nogtaluzieflp3mcxgjfhozwjr5o4ky@jpeg)
