What in the world was up with that council?!?  I was half asleep by the 
end, but didn't they vote out the original target?

I also have to say deciding who to vote out based on how they play "hide 
and seek" is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

I have several animated DC films waiting to be watched.  Normally I 
would watch them as soon as I got them, but I've developed a bit of a 
backlog.

> What did you watch?


I watched:


Shōgun (FX) - "Chapter Nine: Crimson Sky" - Penultimate episode.  This 
was an excellent episode.  I especially loved the sequence when Mariko 
tries to leave.  "Kill him for me."  "It was an honor to die for you." 
Next week better be an hour long all out battle or else!  That and 
Blackthorne better finally get to sale his ship in battle!


Fallout (Amazon Prime) - "The Radio" and "The Beginning" - Last two 
episodes of the season.  As best I can tell, they answered all the 
questions raised during the season.  They explained the truth behind the 
vaults, what (and who) caused the apocalypse, how some people are 
walking around hundreds of years after the war, and more.  It is really 
refreshing to have a series wrap up all the mysteries by the end of the 
season while leaving plenty of room for more stories next season.
