much. I'll catch it on the rerun.
2-26 "The Expanse" (***) by B&B
Earth is attacked and a new, post Desert Storm II Enterprise flies off to kill aliens.
Fairly good beginning and ending, long dull middle. The sameness of the shows work against the better ones. I would gladly sit through two
really bad episodes in exchange for one really good one.
And that's it until the Fall. Head for the beach. Curl up with a good book.
