I watched:


Star Trek: Discovery - "Lagrange Point" - Penultimate episode.  Meh.  I 
am really disappointed in this season.  I just don't care about the two 
villains.  And I don't understand the danger they are trying to prevent. 
  And how exactly is there this huge ethical puzzle that needs to be 
solved yet the two villains are always able to keep up with Discovery? 
The whole ethical puzzle seems pointless if the villains can easily keep 
up with the heroes.


Night Court - "The Best Dan" - Season 2 finale.  Already covered by Ian 
who I suspect liked it a lot more than I did.


9-1-1 - "Ashes, Ashes" - Bobby mopes around through the episode 
depressed for some reason or another.  This new plot point involving 
Malcolm-Jamal Warner's character feels like a retcon out of nowhere.


Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (theatrical) Latest entry in the Mad Max 
franchise.  This is the 5th movie but it is a prequel to the 4th movie 
and details the back story of Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy).  The movie has 
been getting rave reviews and absolutely lives up to the hype.  I need 
to watch part 4 again, but at this point this is either the best movie 
in the franchise or the second best after 4.  I suspect I'm going to 
like 4 a bit more, but they definitely still knocked it out of the park 
with this one.  Visually it's pure eye candy and pretty much nonstop 
action as the movie details how Furiosa came to live in the wasteland 
and a war between Immortan Joe (the villain the last movie) and Dementus 
(Chris Hemsworth) a new villain for this movie.  Furiosa is caught in 
the middle but makes the best of it.  Plus she's got her own vengeance 
quest going on too.
