πΏπΊπ Watched A Christmas Frequency. A radio producer sets her show’s host up on on-air blind dates to save the show from the slump it’s in because the host is no fun after separating from her husband. It’s not a solid movie but I liked it because the cast is adorable.

πΊπΏπ By the way, time travel is a whole subgenre of holiday made-for-TV movie. See:
- Eve’s Christmas (yes, that IS Amber from Clueless!)
- Back to Christmas (featuring Veronica Mars’s Michael Muhney and 1990s Jan Brady!)
- Christmas Comes Twice (Tamera Mowry!)
- A Timeless Christmas
πΊπΏπ I was watching Hulu’s A Christmas Frequency and everything was going great but then it shattered my suspension of disbelief by having one guy give another guy an expense report, printed on paper.
I often find myself watching movies in 22-minute chunks, partly because of being a parent and partly because of having a short attention span lately. I do TV shows with act breaks, so 3 or 4 breaks as I watch where commercials would be. It’s been liberating to realize I can do this. πΊπΏ
πΊπ±ββοΈ Buffy’s experience in the episode “I, Robot… You, Jane” is super relatable. I had two friends with online boyfriends around 1997 and I wasn’t sure about them (though I became friends with these boyfriends). Fortunately, they weren’t digitized demons. Just teen boys.
ππΊ Read How The Haunting of Hill House conveys the horror of family.
In the world of Hill House, devotion to family is a tender kind of madness that exists just on the other side of mourning, a ghostly insistence that the love that binds us is also the thing that keeps us chained.
I’ve been watching Star Trek: Deep Space 9 for the first time since I watched it as a kid when it originally aired. I remembered liking Quark and that Dax seemed like a good cosplay option for me. But this time around, I find myself really locked in on and adoring Kira. ππ»πΊ
πΊππ» Finished my rewatch of Star Trek: The Next Generation today. It felt much less intense watching “All Good Things…” now than when it originally aired, probably because I can visit my Enterprise-D friends whenever I want.
ππΊ The trailer for The Power dropped. I loved this book so much. The show has an amazing cast. I’m looking forward to watching it.
πΊπ±ββοΈπ Glen Weldon’s rewrite of song titles from “Once More, with Feeling” to include Star Trek stuff is precisely calculated to delight me, specifically.
The musical episode of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS is still yet another reason to love the show.

Formally, itβs ONCE MORE, WITH PHASERS, but at least they acknowledge the debt the episode owes to B:TVS when a character says βIβve got a theoryβ¦.β
Great opening number.
