Amazing episode of Vice this week. Both stories were insane. In the first story Gianni Toboni interviewed an actual hired killer. And the second story covered the rise of right wing conservative nazi anger spreading across the world. It was horrifying.

A quick never forget for veterans by the way. I do not support war, and I do not support people seeking adventure and thrill going out into the world and committing atrocities  in the name of a corrupt government. But to say fuck you to the military, to not take a moment every year, at the very least one moment, and remember for a second that you would not be where you are today were it not for the bravery and sacrifice of likely millions of people fighting just for the rights to live and prosper that we have today. So lets all just take a moment of silence and think about that.

ALso, I just checked my schedule, whcih was put online for next week sayign I started tuesday, but now is completely empty... did I just get fired without anyone even talking to me? I'm going to call the management in the morning. I'm literally scared out of my mind right now. I need this job... and I have put so much effort into fixing any problems they.ve had with me, and yet it seemed that every time I made progress, they treated me like I made no progress at all. I'm so scared right now, I don't know what to do if they are firing me.

Geekly Weekly TV Rankings ( ➤ for new ):

1. ➤Supergirl ****A good episode this week, continuing the season's focus on ignorance, racism, and bigotry. This is definitely Supergirl at her best, and the show is coming up with some interesting solutions that involve finding what these fanatics look up to, and trying to reach them through those avenues. So they look up to Guardian. Instead of Guardian denouning them he should be telling them "Yeah, I do like humans and human interests, but I also believe aliens feel all the same feeligns and love and pain, and deserve all the same protections the rest of us do.I stand for everyone." We'll see how well it works, but it seems to be a tactic Olsen is willing to try.
   
2. ➤Doctor Who ****A great episode this week, dealing with a complicated plot that started off creepy with potentially horrifying monsters of the week. The way they were projecting into the Doctor's mind, coupled with the creepy music, really gave a sense of dread. But in the end the enemy wasn't monsters at all. It was regular people, and good ol fashioned bigotry. A very poignant story in our current landscape, and much in a similar vein to Supergirl. But where Supergirl had an uplifting attempt to solve the problem, Doctor Who seemed to suggest there was no answer. Just be the best person YOU can be. Which is fine. Who's right? Maybe a bit of both. They are both strong episodes, deservedly side by side.
   
3. ➤ Ducktales ****
    Good not great episode of the show, there were some funny plots and subplots, fun character dynamics. But the focus on Donald again was annoying. Without Don Cheadle voicing him, I just don't care about Donald at all. The cabaneros were annoying too, but the plant that had taken over the town was fun.
   
4. ➤ ZNation ****Good episode of Znation, lots of fun. I don't know quite how Murphy set all that up so quickly, I think there was a throwaway line of them setting it up before he got there, and looking for a prophesized Red one. It was fun having Addy back, they made me miss Lucy. I loved Limbo, it was a fun setting, and Doc was great fun all episode long. As always. Don't really understand how they are so bad ass 90% of the time, then three guys with guns walk in at the end and do whatever they want and no one just kills them. The Z team I know would have just merked those fools and Dante and his wife would have gotten to live.
5. ➤Star Wars Resistance ***1/2
   Poe Dameron showed up this week, and the main guy got an X-wing. Of course he had to give it away at the end of the episode. I would have prefered the show where BB-8 went with Poe, and the main character kept his xwing and female dorid, but okay. Poe dameron just abandons BB8 again, cause that fits his character. Not a bad episode though. More flying woulda been nice. Lets see how much of a mistake it was helping that one girl.
