Travelers season 3 (2018)

That was good.

There's so little science fiction on the glowing square nowadays, you treasure anything you can get. Oh there's plenty of "sci-fi", but precious little science fiction.

I appreciate the economy of story-telling, I appreciate the short-hand. I appreciate not being entirely dumbed down to. Of course its still there, to bring along the larger audience, but I appreciate that they try to take it up a level.

I like how we finally get a glimpse of the future, and its just an irrelevant footnote. I like how they keep pushing the borders of the metaphysics (multiple timelines).

As annoyed as I am by some characters (McClaren's wife) I appreciate how even that little bit of backstory becomes a plot hook.

Travelers is a name now, even if they never make another show. It's almost up there with X-Files, or Lost, or Buffy. It's staked out a bit of territory, and it owns it. And I'm glad I was there to see it.

Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon (2015)

That filled in a lot of gaps in knowledge I really didn't need, but its still interesting.

Seventies (2015), Eighties (2016), Nineties (2017)

The seventies series was quite good, same so far for the eighties. It's interesting to go back and get a different perspective, and find gaps in your knowledge (and fill them).

The eighties felt really brief, which makes sense since that's my decade. Still good.
