I did go to the theater yesterday, and my equipment mostly worked.It lost connection twice, and we still need to explain to Dolby that screen readers are a must for those who don’t go with sighted people, but overall it was fun. Also, Netflix picked up Nemesis for a second season.Still nothing on Man On Fire.

TV Shows Watched: X-Men 97: S2E1 (Disney Plus) with audio description, Mating Season: S1E4 (Netflix) with audio description, Widow’s Bay: S1E6 (Apple) with audio description, Daemons Of The Shadow Realm: S1E5 (CrunchyRoll) with audio description, and Abbott Elementary: S5E20 (Disney Plus) with audio description

X-men 97- First, I’m getting leery of tracks that have no narrator. It is becoming the signature of the ever growing AI problem, so for Deluxe to not credit the narrator here is troubling. I would assume the series would be in the upper echelon of their properties, but they did just slap Deli Boys with AI, so who knows where the line is drawn. I do need writers to be hired that I feel confident understand the source material, and from what I was able to find, those “robots” are Sentinels, something a sighted fan would have picked up on, which puts us at a disadvantage. Specifically, Prime Sentinels, which is the more futuristic version of them. There was no real attempt made there, because I guess, no one says Sentinel? But, this is also the second season, so if Sentinels were mentioned in Season 1, that gives them clearance. Also, X-Men 97 is a continuation of the 90’s series, which most certainly had Sentinels. Plus, Apocalypse’s horsemen are usually specific mutants, and if not, they have names. War, Pestilence, Famine, and Death. I appreciate the descriptions, but sometimes it isn’t enough to connect us to who the actual mutant is. So this was not my favorite track. Sorry.

Mating Season- This is another track that struggles, because it’s cast won’t shut up, so you frequently miss sight gags and even what a character is in terms of type of animal.However, in just a few episodes, I’m finding it funnier than Big Mouth or its spinoff, so that is something.Very adult.

Widows Bay- A flashback episode following the Sarah who wrote the troubling journal entry, her reaction to the island, and attempt to escape it. Love this show, and the audio description was pretty good at noticing details.

Daemons Of The Shadow Realm- Not quite as good as Witch Hat Atelier, and it went from extremely violent to tame pretty fast, but I still would love to know size relativity amongst the Daemons. Apparently, they can get quite large. So how big are Left and Right, or the new Daemons? This is definitely an AI voice, same one they used on Witch Hat Atelier.

Abbott Elementary- From what I can tell, this written description was better than some other episodes, and seemed to get most of the jokes, like the duality between clubs and the same song being played, or Jacob being freakishly good at basketball. The description of his sequence was one of the better described moments this series has had all season, possibly ever. The weird thing, is that Vito, who sounds asleep half the time, has a voice that sounds more like AI than the potentially AI X-Men 97, or definitely AI Daemons Of The Shadow Realm. I’ve had to defend his humanity before, because he needs eight Red Bulls before doing narration, or they could just appropriately cast him on things that aren’t comedies, and let him do some docuseries and documentaries.
