You liked the episode a lot more than I did!
I was about ready to throw something at the TV during the trial scene 
when the defense had a monitor set up and proceeded to show images that 
the DA had never seen before.  So why exactly did the DA think there was 
a TV in the court room for?  Why didn't the DA object *before* he 
started to show the images?  And once the surprise pictures were shown, 
why did the judge let them in?  We just got the pictures last night is 
not a reason!  And we just got them the night before doesn't mean the 
pictures aren't fake!

I watched:


Star Trek Discovery (Paramount+) - "Face the Strange" - As the crew 
continues what will be a season long race against time to find the 
McGuffin device before the two villains, Burnham is stuck in a time 
distortion field that causes her and two others to be unstuck in time on 
board the Discovery.  Pretty good bottle episode and excuse to bring 
back people from previous seasons.  I especially liked the clash between 
old and current Burnham.  The two of them really didn't get along at 
all.  :-)


The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (theatrical) New World War II 
movie written and directed by Guy Ritchie based on true events.  The 
movie stars Superman (Henry Cavill) and Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) as 
two men recruited by the British government (Ian Fleming and "M" played 
by Cary Elwes) to recruit a team of Inglourious Basterds to hunt and 
kill Nazis as part of a plan to disrupt Nazi U-boat operations in the 
Atlantic.  If you don't like Nazis and want to watch a movie where Nazis 
are gleefully slaughtered left and right, then this is the movie for 
you.  I absolutely need to pair this movie with Inglourious Basterds 
which would feel almost like a sequel.  They are in the Killin' Nazi 
business and business is a boomin!
