They say it's his birthday...

...and he seems to be having a good time, but Highlander would have a better one if you'd swing by to wish him one. I dug up something he did years ago -- it was my third choice, for reasons I won't go into here - but seemed appropriately happy enough now that things have turned out far better on this front than he'd dared to hope.

Anyway, Happy 44th!

...but I dance for no one!

And now, as noted in the comments thread, here was my first choice...

Oh suuuuuuure. You couldn't post the cool Post Apocalyptic Omega Darren cartoon. You had to dig up THAT lame one.

Well, any attention is good attention, they say.

Whaddya MEAN you won't dance? I got two loaded six guns that say otherwise. Er... I had two loaded six guns... I put them right down on that bar... say, Al, did you see two loaded six guns...?

Heh...if you leave firearms lying around here, you will never find them again...(see no smiley face here).

Though I will agree, Mike, that you should dance. I've got singles that could be yours.

I've seen that 'toon before, myself. And you're very sweet to have chosen it for the reasons you did. I love how it's all about me. Even on HIS birthday.

Thanks, Mikey!

As I noted, the one I used was my third choice. My first choice was the Omega Darren, and it was even up a few minutes before I thought I'd avoid anything with a name in it. So, I went back, changed the image and revised the accompanying text.

I originally noted that I found the Omega Darren bit more amusing since in the intervening years you'd begun to watch football. I then noted that these mutant-infested, apocalyptic wastelands happen by degrees.

Maybe I'll add that one to the post now...

Always glad to oblige, ma'am!

Feh. No TRUE Heinlein Woman would ever hide her man's six guns; here in the Crazy Years, you have to sleep with one eye open and one finger on the trigger at ALL times. You can't defeat a free man, all you can do is kill him! DEATH AND DESTRUCTION!!!

Wow, I feel all tingly.

(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 o...

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 wr...

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...
