TV Shows Watched: Silo: S3E9 (Apple) with audio description, Stuart Fails: S1E6 (HBO MAX) with audio description, Elle: S1E4 (Amazon) with audio description, St Dennis Medical: S2E14 (Peacock) with audio description Silo- I’m not a scientist, and it has been a while since I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, but with the modicum of research I’ve done, the final sequence is nonsense. Thrilling, sure, but nonsense. The blast radius would never hit them where they are. A certain person made a big show of reinforcing how out in the middle of nowhere they basically were, due to the buying … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/28/26

It’s like Silo’s version of Olaf’s Frozen quote “some people are worth melting for”. Jedediah Barton and Pixel Logic do more wonderful AD as they cram a lot into this episode. Not only do we check on the past, but we … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/21/26

Plus, Ted got to hang with Henry for a smidge, the whole reason he left to begin with. Ted Lasso is slowly finding its feet. Will it ever be as good as it once was? Probably not, though I like this reboot of … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/19/26

They tipped their hat previously when the narrator couldn’t pronounce the name of a character, so I operate as if this was synthetic. … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/16/26

TV Shows Watched:The Agency: S2 E1-5 (Paramount) with audio description, Shelved: S1E3 (Peacock) no audio description, and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: S5E3 (Disney Plus) with audio description The Agency- Yup. Tried to knock out another show, but this one is another 10 episode behemoth, and I couldn’t pull it off, so I’ll tackle 6-10 likely on Saturday. I don’t remember much of Season 1, but this has so many different beats to it than a typical Taylor Sheridan production. The cast is stellar, and John Megarro has a lot to do in the first five episodes, where I … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/06/26

TV Shows Watched: Gen V: S2E3 (Amazon) with audio description, Task: S1E3 (HBO MAX) with audio description, Ginny and Georgia: S3E4 (Netflix) with audio description, and Twisted Metal: S2E9 (Peacock) with audio description Gen V- Since I know narrators don’t always get to see what they are describing, I find it funny thinking about a narrator just sitting in their recording studio, preparing to read a line, and they see that they have to describe a head coming out of a butt. Thanks to shows like Gen V and The Boys, we’re breaking new grounds constantly on “how do we … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/22/25

That’s the big question driving the second episode of Task. This remains an ensemble piece, despite the presence of Mark Ruffalo in the lead role, and is slowly building out this crime drama. we learn more about the thieves from the last episode, as well as the “community” they stole from.
