Does Star Trek count? It had its final season in '69, but syndication in the '70s is where it really came into its own. I used to watch it every day after school, It came on at 4:00 PM every weekday afternoon. I watched it so much, it got to the point where I could give you the title of the episode and a brief synopsis of the plot after seeing/hearing less than 10 seconds or so of the start. I credit Star Trek for getting me into "serious" science fiction (by which I mean science fiction for science fiction audiences, rather than science fiction for general audiences). Except for the movies based on the original series, I was never able to "get into" all the spin-off stuff that came later (with a few superb exceptions such as Firefly, I've never been able to muster much interest in general-audience "sci-fi" stuff).

It was. According to Chris Carter, the Night Stalker was one of the primary inspirations for the X Files. I remember seeing or hearing something about why the Kolchak character never actually appeared in The X Files, but I can't recall the reason. It probably had something to do with not being able to get the rights. Using Darren McGavin as another character was the closest they could come.

Hell, yeah! I loved that show. Kolchak was a great character. It's a damn shame it only got one season and so few episodes.

I get your point. What Sonny Tufts seems to be missing is the fact that you don't pick your plaintiffs. Well....sometimes people do. Rosa Parks wasn't the first black women not to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus, but the woman before her was a single mom and back then the left cared about appearances. Fast forward to the 21st century and a druggie who robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint, but nonetheless was murdered by a cop (no excuse for Chauvin to have his knee on Floyd's neck 2 minutes after Floyd no longer had a pulse), became an international hero for....dying. And it's not like there haven't been more sympathetic black people killed by police. Elijah McClain was just walking home listening to music, wearing a ski mask because of his allergies and he was attacked by police and then overdosed by EMTs with ketamine. That was just a year before George Floyd. But how many people know his name? (I had to look it up). I think Floyd was a matter of timing. It was close enough to affect the 2020 election and far enough away from the First Step Act for all of the goodwill Trump had generated in the black community to have evaporated.

Possible perjury for him having said he didn't have such messages on his phone. Needlessly delaying and driving up the litigation costs by not cooperating with discovery. Disobeying a lawful court order. Yes. The attorney screwed up multiple ways. But it also sounds like Alex didn't tell the truth about whether or not he did any texts about Sandy Hook. There are two possibilities. 1) Alex just "forgot" and his lawyer didn't refresh his memory by helping him search through his own cell phone. 2) AJ didn't want the records out and told his attorney not to turn them over. It's still his attorney's screw up. He should have convinced Alex to turn the records over and explained to him how they would mitigate the situation. The Paul Joseph Watson comment about the COVID dummies and his statement "This is like Sandy Hook" wasn't necessarily fatal to their case. They could have argued that both were examples of unintentional mistakes that were cleared up as soon as possible. Sometimes the best answer is "I don't recall" as opposed to an emphatic "No." But also in this case there was a specific question that Alex could easily check and verify. Further, 99% of the time before you have someone under oath you do written discovery AKA interrogatories and requests for production of documents. Normally you have 30 days to comply though the time often gets extended. So there was probably an interrogatory question on paper that said "Do you send or receive any text messages about Sandy Hook" followed by "produce any text messages you sent or received about Sandy Hook." The lawyer should have found that, told Alex the answer to the interrogatory was "yes" and then created a file with a copy of all of those messages to turn over. Why that didn't happen? That's between Alex and his lawyer.

Civil War - Sound And Fury, Signifying Nothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-M-fSvtQxk {The Critical Drinker | 15 April 2024} Well, talk about disappointment. I'd hoped Alex Garland's new thriller would have given us a gripping story filled with interesting characters, but instead what we got was a bland, empty collection of scenes with no strong story to tie them together. What a wasted opportunity.

'Rust' armorer sentenced to 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter conviction https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/04/15/rust-armorer-hannah-gutierrez-reed-sentenced-alec-baldwin/73325809007/ {Taijuan Moorman | 15 April 2024} "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter last month in the 2021 shooting death of Halyna Hutchins. Though Alec Baldwin, 66, pulled the trigger, a jury found Gutierrez-Reed had erroneously loaded a live round into a revolver he was using on the Santa Fe, New Mexico, movie set. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer addressed phone calls Gutierrez-Reed made from jail, citing comments she made to family and friends as evidence she had failed to take accountability.
