Ripping Good Yarns: Across A Streaming Universe


One of the great advantages of our move to the big city of Blackshear is that we have a much faster Internet, and we are paying less money for it!  Hello, civilization!  That means the streaming services that we have access to, Amazon Prime and Netflix, show programs with perfect picture and sound and without interruption.  It is awesome!  I have begun to catch up with the original Star Trek episodes.  Pictured above is Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock.  This is a great, groundbreaking show.  Some moments now appear unintentionally hilarious, but since I have not watched any episode in a couple of decades, it is a thrill to relive them.




A newer show that I have been able to catch up on is The Guild.  I think this is originally a web series.  It stars Felicia Day as Codex, part of the Knights for Good, a quirky team of individuals who participate as a guild/group in a computer role-playing game that has subsumed their lives.







Parks and Recreation is a very funny show that I somehow started watching only last spring.  This has enabled Alison and I to go back to the beginning and discover the roots of this Pawnee, Indiana crew.  It is one of those great character/ensemble comedies where with each episode you can see each character becoming more detailed, real and interesting.


And when we finish seeing these, there is a whole great streaming universe that we can go boldly go forth on!   Huzzah!
