I’m beginning to think Direct TV is screwing with me.
They know I’m stuck at home and subject to my husband’s absolute control over the remote during the quarantine.
The reason I know this?
All the quality programming they’re providing.
Last weekend?
It was Robbie the Robot in Forbidden Planet.
A classic the husband just had to watch.
Lucky me.
Have you hugged your robot today?
Um…..I thought he was WORKING from home??

I watch Amazon prime or Netflix on my phone if Mark is using the tv already. Although he did surrender the remote for about three hours the other night so I could watch That’s Entertainment parts 1 & 2.

Will that make the movie any better?
On second thought, who cares.

Would sixty gallons be sufficient?
If that doesn’t make you laugh say that to your husband. It should at least get a smile, if not a chuckle, out of him.
And my wife is glad she’s got the remote. Otherwise we’d be visiting Altair IV, and after that maybe checking in on Kevin McCarthy and those body snatchers.
Maybe we should trade spouses until this is over.

That reminds me of Lost in Space which Netflix put out as a reboot. Two seasons in, and it’s pretty damn good. Of course, your streaming options in the Maine back country suck Elk ass.
Speaking of Sci-Fi reboots, the SciFy channel is playing a marathon of it’s reboot of Battle Star Galactica. This series ran in the early 2000’s and is far superior to the campy original series of the 70’s. It’s a Sci-Fi show but it’s also not. Character development and social interaction along with even political intrigue makes it one of the best TV dramas I ever saw. I actually rank it in my top 5.

Our streaming options definitely suck ass, but it would be moose not elk.
I watched the original Star Trek, Lost in Space and Land of the Giants as a kid… and The X Files later on.
Now I’m addicted to Westworld. Always wanted to start Dr. Who but I’m so far behind it would take me years to catch up.

Elk ass sounds better than Moose ass. I’m sure they both smell the same. Watch BSG. You won’t be disappointed.

I could never get “into” the reboot of BSG. The original though – I have it on dvd, AND the 1980 series as well.

Better to start the Dr. Who now – the longer you wait… (uhh) the more catching up you’ll have to do.
I started in 82 and took a hiatus in 86. Started back later in mid 90’s then stopped again by 2000. I have watched episodes here and there but tv just doesn’t “click” for me any more.
Catching up – is hard to do, when you’re far far behind.

Mmm. Went through puberty watching Ann Francis and her skimpy outfits on Forbidden Planet. I wasn’t real certain what sex was about, but I was reasonably sure that I could work it out with her.
I think there was a robot in the movie too …
