I'm making a big push this weekend to finish everything I can before I 
go on vacation next weekend. So the focus was on grading/prepping stuff, 
not TV watching.

Still, I got through:

Night Court (2023) (Peacock) - "Just the Fax, Dan" (ep. #2.4). They 
introduce the new clerk, Wyatt (I miss Flobert already!) - Nyambi Nyambi 
is not even main cast yet (I guess that happens in #2.5). When a 
ransomware hacker sabotages the court's internet, threatening to destroy 
it unless Abby convicts in the sixth case of the night, Gergs springs 
into action to track down the hacker, believing newbie Wyatt to be the 
most likely suspect. This episode was silly, but slight.

soaps: GH - Fri's ep. They go overboard, by making Nina kind of a bitch 
to everyone, though there is no doubt that Josslyn deserves to be raked 
- anyway, Nina reveals Dex's mission to "eliminate" Cyrus. Diane pledges 
to get Alexis her law license back so Alexis can quit working for Nina. 
Gregory realizes that it's time to retire from article writing with his 
ALS progressing. Marshall gets the predictable answer from Dr. Kevin 
Collins about his misdiagnosis years before. And in a wacky development, 
Heather Webber's insanity may be due to heavy metal poisoning from a 
defective hip replacement!

golf - At the start of Day 3 at the Players Championship at Sawgrass, it 
looked like Wyndham Clark was cruising. But Xander Schauffele surged the 
whole Day 3, progressively gaining on Clark. But the end of Day 3, 
Schauffele had a one stroke lead!!
    I think you would bet on Schauffele to win at this point, but Clark 
still has a good shot, with Brian Harman lurking, and others like 
Scottie Scheffler in theoretical striking distance.

Friday Night Sext Scandal (LMN) - "Inspired by real stories"... Blech!!
    This went pretty much as you would expect, except for the dude's 
mother refusing to let him confess to the police and helping him destroy 
evidence (a hard drive).
    The lead kid (Anthony Timpano, who in a bit of feminist 
highhandedness is credited second, despite clearly being the film's lead 
and main focus) must be small! as he was barely taller than Devyn 
Nekoda, and she's *tiny*!! (former ballet dancer).
    Anyway, this is one of those flicks that will not be worth a 
rewatch, as it's both unpleasant and depressing (and also unsatisfying, 
as nobody really *pays* in the end...)

What did you watch?
