Summer Departs, Autumn Leaves

Summer's gone, and while it's still in the mid to upper 80s here in Southeastern PA it's still - nominally at least - into one of my favorite times of the year.

I'm looking forward to chilly mornings and evenings, perfect for long walks (when the time can be spared for them), as we move through the color displays of the leaves and on towards Winter, each step crunching the fallen leaves on the path.

My favorite time of year as well, Mike!! By a longshot, even! Can't wait to share it with H, since he has not, for the past many years, enjoyed the colorful changes associated with the season. Amongst my plans, is to share the Red River Gorge (in all it's fall splendor) with him. I know I've run on about this place at great length. But, here's a pic I found on the web of this place in the fall. And there are views like this everywhere there...

Here in Minnesota, things are just starting to change. This is my favorite season of the year as well. I can't wait until we make our annual trek to Duluth to visit the north shore of Lake Superior.

I sleep soooo well when it's chilly or downright cold outside. Fall is my favorite season. AND it's the season I married dearest cryptleak.

I think almost everyone not bothered by the coming chill has this as a favorite time of the year. Hopefully we'll have a gradual cool-off to give us as colorful a one as possible.

(TV/streaming video) New & Leftover Items, a Touch of 2024, and some Nostalgic Forensics

    So much else calling out for attention, and with watchables already piled up, finding even more things to watch doesn't seem like much of a sane prospect. I'm not even fishing around for new things at the moment, as I need to get some other things done and make some attempt to round out my life a little.       This week on Paramount+, the fourth season of the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks came to a satisfying end. A manic pace of in-universe nods continues to give it the Star Trekiest of Trek feels with the casual, plot-essential trivia drawn from decades of Star Trek shows, woven throughout.       Also there, the contemporary Frasier series' first season hits its halfway point with episode five. I'm enjoying it, but it continues to walk a wobbly line as some of it works smoothly while other moments reek of formula, with some of each overlapping. I'd be very interested in seeing how well or not this new series works on its own for someone who'd never wat

Catching Up with Old Friends (Streaming media series)

   I haven't done any blogging posts on current and streaming media since November 3rd, which broke a streak of weekly ones that had been going since September of 2019 - albeit as part of a different, group, blog. As with many such inactions, it wasn't intended as a formal stoppage, just a momentary delay, but here it is five weeks later. This post's linking theme is the return of fondly-remembered characters. It really should include the recent arrival to streaming of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny over on Disney+, but I haven't really mustered my reactions to that. Instead, I'll stick with two other nostalgic items that arrived this week.       Yesterday saw the arrival of the season finale, episode ten, of Kelsey Grammar's return of Frasier Crane in the 2023 iteration of Frasier , over on Paramount+.      The series picked up on the titular character in the present, whom we haven't seen since his 11-season first series wrapped in mid-May

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where we first met the ch
