Bruce,you do know that you can now take the written test online, right? MUCH easier. You can’t fail it. If you answer a question wrong, they explain the right answer and you correct it. You can do the online test ahead of time, too, which I recommend. When I went in for my appointment last May I just had to take the vision test and was out in 30 minutes! Go to the DMV website.

Yesterday the podiatrist, today the osteopath. The osteopath was a broken record today, every issue had a “There’s nothing that can be done for it” response. A bit frustrating, but fortunately I know of other ways.

TTFN.

Thanks to all for the vibes.

My sister Paula and I visited brother Mike in the hospital earlier today. He was in good spirits and I am hoping he get to come home tomorrow.

My question for ASK BK DAY - what do you think is the most perfect SCI FI film you have seen?

It doesn't have to be a "classic" just one that checked off all the boxes for you.

DR VIXMOM my friend Mark Lee was in the audience last night as well....he posted a few pictures from the theeder.....I shall look again and see if I can see you. He was up in the balcoknee.

DR JOHN G I liked The Outer Limits.....but sometimes an hour was just too much.....

The music, opening credits, and narration were all excellent.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #163 on:** September 27, 2023, 08:35:08 PM »

My favorite episodes were:

The Sixth Finger with David McCallum
The Demon With the Glass Hand
O.B.I.T. - a robot is put on trial for killing his creator - I think that was the title of that one.

And another one about a carnival ride that turned out to be a way for aliens to kidnap a group of earthlings.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #164 on:** September 27, 2023, 08:42:19 PM »

No O.B.I.T. wasn't the robot one.....my computer is being very slow tonight.

That was I, Robot.

And I can't find the Demon With the Glass Hand - maybe that was a Star Trek episode.

Oh there it is....season two episode five.....written by Harlan Ellison.

I’m not going to watch all of season one of Outer Limits. It’s just too much.

John G. · « **Reply #166 on:** September 27, 2023, 08:55:09 PM »

But since I have never seen the show I will watch maybe 10 episodes. In the third, Robert Culp was straddled with a silly script but a decent idea.

John G. · « **Reply #167 on:** September 27, 2023, 09:58:33 PM »

Good night, all

George · « **Reply #168 on:** September 27, 2023, 10:26:23 PM »

Well, yesterday, finally cut the TV cord and turned in my DVRs.

George · « **Reply #169 on:** September 27, 2023, 10:26:42 PM »

I no longer have TV, just internet.

George · « **Reply #170 on:** September 27, 2023, 10:29:21 PM »

I really haven't watched much TV in quite a while.

George · « **Reply #171 on:** September 27, 2023, 10:30:07 PM »

The stuff I've mainly been watching (PBS & MSNBC), I can watch online.

He is actually Leopold Pius. I started naming my dogs after Popes when I got DD Ben. (Benedict). JP is John Paul.

So, let's talk about "Hadestown" for a minute. Good show, good storytelling, mostly good performances, love having the band on stage great orchestrations, etc.

Where I got bored was the music - Set aside not being able to understand a word In the opening number as "style" took over actual storytelling - but it's one pop song after another. Yes, I know - so is "Joseph" and so is "Jesus Christ Superstar" but I got tired of the all the ballads sounding like they were ripped off of the likes of "Spring Awakening", "Dear Evan Hanson" and even "Hamilton". Do all vocal arrangers use the same handbook when writing their arrangements? The use of 4ths and 9ths is just getting old and boring.

That's all I'm saying about THAT. I do think the storytelling Is great - when you can understand the words.

Hello, Matthew.

George · « **Reply #175 on:** September 27, 2023, 11:46:42 PM »

I haven't listened to the entire recording(s) of Hadestown, mostly just individual songs on Sirius XM's On Broadway channel.

George · « **Reply #176 on:** September 27, 2023, 11:47:13 PM »

But from what I remember, I think I agree with you about the sameness of it all.

George · « **Reply #177 on:** September 27, 2023, 11:47:31 PM »

Don't get me wrong, it's good sameness...just a lotta sameness.
