After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. “The Mandalorian” is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.

November 12!

This miniseries kinda blew me away.  Superb acting and writing. 

From IMDB:

Quote

Follows twentysomething Miep Gies who, when her boss Otto Frank came to her and asked her to hide his family from the Nazis during World War II, didn't hesitate. For the next two years, Miep, her husband Jan, and the other helpers watched over the eight souls (Otto Frank, his wife Edith and daughters Anne and Margot as well as four others) in hiding in the Secret Annex. And it was Miep who found Anne's Diary and kept it safe so Otto, the only one of the eight who survived, could later share it with the world as one of the most powerful accounts of the Holocaust.

 

I binged this series ... 10 out of 10.

FUBAR, 2023, Netflix

(Season 1) - It was ok.  Thought some of the writing was sloppy.  Stream if you have the time...but if you don't you aren't missing much.  4 out of 10.

Leave the World Behind, Netflix, IMDB

Thought it was fine...was ok with the ending (which seems to be a hot topic regarding the movie).  Nothing really special but it wasn't a waste of time (though a bit lengthy at ~2:10 hrs, not including credits).

6 out of 10

The Doctor and Donna book a date with Agatha Christie.

Filming is underway for Series Four of Doctor Who, with Catherine Tate reprising her role as Donna, the runaway bride featured in last year's Christmas Special.

The start of the new series will see Donna tracking down the Time Lord during an alien emergency in modern-day London. The couple are destined to experience a series of wonderful adventures throughout the new series including meeting one of Doctor Who's most popular aliens, The Ood in a brand new episode, Planet of The Ood.

Catherine Tate said: "I am delighted to be returning to Doctor Who. I had a blast last Christmas and look forward to travelling again through time and space with that nice man from Gallifrey."

Donna and The Doctor will also be travelling through time for an encounter with the legendary murder mystery novelist, Agatha Christie, played by Jekyll star Fenella Woolgar. Fenella will be joined by The Good Life actress Felicity Kendal, who will star as Lady Clemency Eddison.

"What a brilliant idea that Agatha Christie and Doctor Who should meet!," noted Matthew Prichard, Agatha Christie's grandson. "Two characters whose contribution to British entertainment is absolutely unrivalled. As far as I know my grandmother, Agatha Christie, never saw Doctor Who, but I am sure she would have been intrigued, excited and above all flattered by all this attention in 2007."

Doctor Who's executive producer and head writer, Russell T Davies comments: "Visiting Agatha Christie has been on my wish-list for ages now, and for the Doctor, it's a real meeting of minds! Viewers can expect many more ambitious storylines and a whole host of guest stars in 2008."

Blackadder and Notting Hill Actor Tim McInnerny will also guest star later in the series.

Freema Agyeman who has played Martha Jones, The Doctor's companion throughout the critically acclaimed third series will return to the show to join The Doctor and Donna mid series.

First Official News from next year!!!

Bjork in all her cuteness, but also featuring in "Most Wanted" hosted by Ray Cokes in the first years of MTV, when the shows were a bit cringe, but the personalities of the hosts went a long way to making them popular and watchable and most of all: fun!

Me:

I think we can definitely expect a Section 31 show, I can also see some sort of new Borg origins being a possibility (and I mean the new more compact Borg from the Picard show). I wish they would move on from that species. It has served for a number of Star Trek movies and whole season arcs in multiple Trek TV shows as well. How many times has humanity defeated the Borg when millions of other civilizations couldn't?

Anyway I hope they don't screw up Trek again like they did with Enterprise.

Synopsis: Set after the battle between Godzilla and the Titans, revealing that monsters are real, follows one family's journey to uncover its buried secrets and a legacy linking them to Monarch. 

5 episodes are out and it is good, IMO.

While Perry was best known for his role in "Friends," he appeared in scores of other television shows and comedic films, including "Fools Rush In," "The Whole Nine Yards," "Three to Tango," "The Kid," and many more movies.

Roundtree's longtime manager, Patrick McMinn, told The Associated Press the actor had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday. He was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 and underwent a double mastectomy.

"Richard's work and career served as a turning point for African American leading men," McMinn said. "The impact he had on the industry cannot be overstated."

Roundtree was a cancer survivor. Although he was initially quiet about it, Roundtree later became an advocate for raising awareness of the disease.

The possible return of Quantum Leap is taking a big step forward at NBC. The network has greenlit the sequel pilot to the 1989 time-travel adventure-drama that ran for five seasons on the network.

 

The synopsis reads, “It’s been 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now a new team has been assembled to restart the project in the hopes of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it.”

 

The description makes it sound like original series star Bakula is on board. Nothing is official, but per sources, the actor may be involved.

Oh boy!

Duane “Keffe D” Davis was arrested on suspicion of murder early Friday morning, according to two officials with first-hand knowledge of the arrest. They were not authorized to speak publicly ahead of an expected indictment later Friday.

The case returned to the spotlight in July when Nevada authorities served a search warrant in connection with the rap star’s shooting death.
