[Richard A Thackeray]

Star-Trek : Enterprise
Again

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Night_in_Sickbay

A slightly funny episode, Porthos (Captain Archers* pet Beagle) is affected by a bacteria, & is in Sick Bay
Archer decides to sleep there, to keep an eye on him
During conversation with the ships Doctor, Phlox, the suggestion of sexual tension/attraction comes up, between Archer & T'Pol


When T'Pol comes into Sick Bay, Archer suffers from 2 Freudian Slips, along the lines of T'Pols 'Breast intention' (or somesuch), & to bring him her 'Lips' (stammeringly retracted to list)




* if anyone's seen the first 'reboot' (with Chris Pine?) as Kirk, there's a section where Bones admits to an experiment, on Admiral Archers pet Beagle!!!

[Tenacious Sloth]

The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel on Prime

"It's the late 1950s and Miriam "Midge" Maisel has everything she has ever wanted -- the perfect husband, two kids and an elegant apartment on New York's Upper West Side. Her seemingly idyllic life takes a surprising turn when she discovers a hidden talent she didn't previously know she had -- stand-up comedy."

I'd skipped past this on the screen previously but when it won an Emmy for 'Outstanding Comedy Series', I added it to the watch list to try.

It's really, really good. Snappy dialogue, well acted and very funny.

Like you Dave, I’d noticed this but took a while getting around to watching it as I wasn’t sure whether it was my kind of thing.

It was so good I ended up binge watching it over a couple of days. In fact, also like you, I feel it’s deserving of two reallys.

It’s really, really good.

[QUOTE 5403746, member: 9609"]it was alright, i'm going to continue with it - not very uplifting though.

I think @gbb post made me expect the crying to be bad (nothing worse) so may be I was a little prepared and it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.[/QUOTE]

Previous episodes have been better.

Much better last night. It made ponder about how good meditation is.

 

[swee'pea99]

Watched a fascinating programme on placebos last night - The Placebo Experiment: Can My Brain Cure My Body? Built around a 'clinical trial' involving 117 back pain sufferers in Blackpool, but also talking to various academics working in the field. Very well done, and very thought-provoking.
