Another morning meeting. Again, I didn't really prioritize "watching 
stuff". But did get through soaps and more "Rings of Power":

soaps: Y&R - Tue's ep. Nick shares his "It's all Ian Ward and an 
accomplice" theory with Chance and Summer. Jordan says that she has had 
it with Ian Ward, and their partnership is through! - Jordan then 
reveals herself to dumb Claire. Adam again pitches getting back together 
to Chelsea who wants none of it.
    GH - Wed's ep. Lizzie and Lucky intend to surveil Cyrus, but Cyrus 
gets hauled in for questioning by Anna, thanks to Josslyn, but then 
Josslyn confronts Cyrus and blows it. Carly begs John Brennan for access 
to an international burn unit. Sonny and then Jason go to Tracy to try 
to retrieve the children, but Tracy gets to Jason and they fail. Alexis 
tries to work Drew over to get custody of Scout from him. The football 
game goes wrong, worrying Trina, and destroying Cody's chance of winning 
his bet.

The Rings of Power (Prime) - Ep's #2.5 & 2.6. This seems to be going 
somewhere this season, but I still have a lot of reservations...
    Sauron messes with the heads of the ring crafters, esp. Celebrimbor. 
Meanwhile, Durin is convinced that the dwarvish ring for his father is 
corrupting him (it is!!), though it did help the king restore light to 
the city. (The other 6 dwarvish rings haven't even been distributed 
yet...) Not much progress with "The Stranger", who was set up to find 
his staff before rescuing the halflings. Adar and Galadriel try to forge 
a deal/partnership with each other, but Galadriel figures out that this 
is just what Sauron wants - Adar doesn't listen to her. More Numenor 
stuff which isn't worth retelling. Elrond basically wasn't in these 
episodes, for some reason.
    Just two more episodes to go, and then on to "On Call".

I also saw some of "The Running Man" on one of the Showtimes yesterday - 
I had clearly forgotten about the beginning of this film!


What did you watch?
