Lucifer, Earthforce and Thor: Ragnarok
This weekend has been lovely. Again we went to the local ice cream place and this time I chose scoops of mojito and butterscotch & chocolate. They were good - particularly the mojito which did taste of lime and mint.
Since my last post, we have finished watching Lucifer: season 2. I've realised I never reviewed the first season here, so I'll do both together. Essentially, Lucifer is quite fun and undemanding. The grand plot moves very slowly and, particularly in the first season, the murder-of-the-week quickly became an established, rather predictable, pattern. The second season had a bit more development, but sadly also had a new character who I can only describe as Anya from Buffy. And I was never a fan of Anya. However, it remains watchable primarily on the strength of the main cast and I particularly like Lucifer himself (Tom Ellis), (from season 2) forensic scientist Ella Lope (Aimee Garcia) and Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt).
Having been told it was a must-see before Infinity War, we watched Thor: Ragnarok. This was action-comedy and quite fun, but not much more than that. Thor is something of a difficult character to put in with the others, and I guess this approach works reasonable OK.
Last night, for exam purposes, Bea and watched A Christmas Carol. It was a remarkably faithful retelling and Patrick Stewart, as ever, was excellent. I wouldn't normally choose to watch it at this time of year - but it's one of Bea's GCSE texts.
Last weekend, the second episode of Earthforce, Dom's super heroes game ran. This time the players were Ian, Amy, Elle, Rick and myself. It was a good session with a certain amount of religion. Also, we're seeing more of the grand plot. Next episode, end of next month.
Finally, it's been Mental Health Week. But I think that's a post for another occasion.
