'Survivor: Winners At War' Episode 5
Well, with all of this worrying about coronavirus, at least I still have one thing that keeps me happy, Survivor. And boy, what a great episode of this amazing season. First off, good work to Dakal on taking out Tyson. And now, Nick is a little more rich for it. But, with happiness somewhere, there's sadness somewhere else. While chatting with his tribemates, Yul remembers one of his tribemates from his original season, his buddy, Jonathan Penner. The thing with him now, is Penner's wife, Stacy has ALS. She can't move except for her eyes and there's no known cure. So, I really feel for them. We watch Survivor but people like Stacy are true Survivors. So, hopefully there'll one day be a cure and Stacy can move and be happy once again with her husband, Jonathan by her side.

Let's Discuss: Steven Universe Future "In Dreams"
I had this re-occurring thought when I first started watching Steven Universe in 2015. By then, it had already had a little following I had yet to understand. But in that brief period of bliss, before we found out who Rose Quartz really was; I kept thinking "when will the other shoe drop?"

The Conflict with Joe
Netflix and chill. The perfect combination on a Friday night. I recently binged my way through all fifteen seasons of Grey’s Anatomy and now I found another drama to follow called “you”. “You” is about a psychopathic stalker who comes off as “normal” through narration and perspective of the main character who happens to be the protagonist. Well, boys and girls not all protagonists are good. Joe is the classic example of an evil protagonist. It starts off innocent with a guy liking a girl, she introduces herself as Beck. And like anyone in this century looks up Joe looks up her social media profile. Then, we see him being kind to his neighbor's child name Paco. Again, this is a normal attitude. Joe gets jealous easily, he decides to torture Benji and then kills him because he saw Benji as an obstacle between Beck and him. So, he gets rid of him officially. Next, we see Joe get jealous of Peach, Beck’s best friend and he is at first in a weird friendly (I use the word friendly lightly here) competition where it is Joe 1 and Peach 0. He then starts to see what an influence Peach has on Beck’s life and finds a rock to solve all the problems. Like a coward he runs from the scene of the crime. Joe Goldberg worries that other people are manipulating Beck when realistically, he is isolating her from everyone she cared about. So he is manipulating Beck, but the problem is, he sees it as protecting her from everyone else. He goes on pretending and faking everything and Beck is constantly falling for it. Peach is then a victim to him, but he was unsuccessful and keeps putting himself against her and seems to be losing. Beck has no idea that Peach has a thing for her, she watches her, has photographs of her, her password to her computer is beckilicious even. Beck has now two stalkers as we find out. Peach wants Beck all to herself and no one else. Joe is standing in the way of that. Peach then plans to take Beck away to Paris and to live there. I know I would jump at the chance to live in Paris. Here is what I am thinking Peach knows Joe a little too well, she has broken into Joe's apartment and maybe she made a discovery about him, that Joe is unaware of, she possibly knows that is it Joe trying to kill her and stalking her. She could also know that Joe is actually has been stalking Beck for months, but she does not let on that she knows anything, much like Joe lets on that he is only learning about Beck, when in fact he has been watching her for months and learning everything about her through observation. Paco is where everything confuses me. Paco is constantly on the staircase reading while his mom and Ron are fighting again. Joe always acknowledges him and gives him books to read and gives him advice and tells him what he should and should not do about Ron. Paco then, tries to slip a sleeping pill t Ron and Joe saved Ron's life instead of calling the cops and claim that Ron had over dosed and fell in the hallway that would have protected Paco from being taken away from his mom, Ron would have either died, or been hospitalized and he would be out of Paco's life. Joe takes a serious beating from Ron and does not call the cops on him or press charges. Joe is like the parent that Paco does not have and I feel like that is why the audience is so conflicted on how they see Joe. However, Joe was in the same house as Peach and Beck and he just sneaks around and judging Peach for her every move even though he is doing the same thing to Beck. He is also obsessed with her and is judging Beck's decisions to stay friends with Peach. Beck gets drugged and is being touched by Peach and Beck immediately realizes what is happening and leaves the room. Now, this is where I feel bad about Beck, she has what she thinks is a best friend and a great boyfriend when really Peach and Joe are the worst for her. They both manipulate her constantly and are at a battle constantly. Peach is smart, and that's what keeps Joe and Peach alive. Peach shoots him and now I am not sure who's side I am on. Joe writes a suicide note in Peach's name and once again Joe wins, and that's what he constantly does. He wins, he is the stalker you never want in your life. After Peach's death, Joe takes care of Beck and he fills her fridge and he is an emotional support for her, but he is bad news. He keeps killing the people in Beck's life just to have her for herself. We know that he will keep doing it. So maybe it is not so confusing after all, he knows how to win every. single. time.

A Filmmaker's Review: "The Last Czars" (2019, Netflix)
I kind of don't want to admit that I watched this entire show in the space of a few days but here we are. Anyways, this show was definitely the right kind of show for me. A strange blend between a documentary starring some of the greats of Russian Historical Studies and then we have a dramatisation of it for the other half which dominates the show. The one thing I loved about this series is it takes the time to explain why things are happening the way they are and they are all set against a backdrop of the doctor coming to check if the stranger in the hospital is actually Anastasia or is just a woman with a severe mental disorder.

Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a British sci-fi show that has been running since the 1960s and it follows the adventures of an intrepid explorer who travels through space and time. What has kept this show fresh and different is the protagonist's ability to regenerate, giving the show a chance to bring in new actors and take the show in a different direction.

TV Characters Who I've just Realised are the Worst.
Remember when you watch a TV show for the very first time and you love it so much that several years later you binge watch it again? The second time around is always when you realise that a particular character is honestly the worst. Why is this? Maybe you’ve matured, or you have more life experience that really allows you to see these people as the horrible personas they are.

A Filmmaker's Review: War and Peace (2016, BBC)
I first watched this when it initially came on TV some four years' ago and back then, I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong with it, but it was something small and it bothered me. As I had read the book, I was concerned with the casting choices of some of the characters - especially the Rostova's daughter - Natasha. I never imagined her even remotely looking like Lily James, she seemed more classy and mysterious than that in the book and always had something she was hiding in some way or another. I don't think Lily James pulled that off, her acting was a little shallow. This is most of the reason that the show loses one and a half marks - but on with the rest of the review.

NBC's "Parks and Recreation is Better Than NBC's "The Office"
When talking with my friends about the TV shows we enjoy, I can count on at least one of them to say that NBC's The Office is their absolute favorite. I typically reply with: "The Office is great! But honestly, I think Parks and Recreation is better."

Wanna Throw a Ball, Slugger?
Arya Stark. Right? I mean, I've not watched a paltry second of Game of Thrones, ever (totally true, on my life) and even I am aware of the two milestones the 22-year-old scrappy thing has reached in her young life. She's had a shag and killed a big baddie. Basically James Bond, am I right? As a consumer of Westernised film and TV this is how it goes: ol' James Bond shoots and leaves like its his job (which it kind of is, now you think about it), ooh about a million times by now so what's the big furore? Why should it be so different, so 'wrong' for a 22 year old female assassin to get hers? The day after, news headlines shouted of 'Fans Cringe at Game Of Thrones Sex Scene' and a million GoT Twitter fan accounts had conniptions that a girl should take control and own her sexuality in this way. It was all anyone talked about for roughly 48 hours, so I had to look see.
