Sunday Week in Review XI

This week's header is dedicated to @legendary-pink-dot for the idea of Dieter being his own 80s sitcom 😝💕

Is everyone okay this morning? Have we all recovered from last night? Do we need to hydrate, grab a snack (not that kind of snack) and recoup? Any welfare checks we need to send out? Phew 🫠

It's been a slog to get through this week, and I didn't get to as much reading as I wanted, which you'll see below. These daily prompts have been taking up more time than I expected and work has picked up (rude). But I'm also realising as I read through people's weekly round-ups, that I've missed a lot this week that I haven't seen come across my dash.

So if you've posted something this week (fanfic, thots or anything else) and you'd like to share it - feel free to drop it in my DM's or as an Asks!

T R U L Y  U P D A T E S . . .

oct' x 15 - first wine (sequins!joel x reader)

oct' x 16 - flying kites (frankie x reader)

oct' x 17 - whispers (chiffon!dieter x bryony)

oct' x 18 - picking apples (sequins!joel x reader)

oct' x 19 - ghosts (dieter x f!reader)

oct' x 20 - sweater weather (chiffon!dieter x bryony)

oct' x 21 - acorns (tim rockford x f!reader)

birthdays, besties & bravos (celebrating the lovely @wildemaven)

W H A T  I  R E A D . . .

A Safe Haven | Chapter 9 (Joel) (Check TW’s) by @joelsgreys This was the update I've been so patiently waiting for and it did not disappoint! This is a fantastic series that I never thought I'd get so emotionally invested in - but that's how good Vee is! This is always one of my top recommendations when suggesting Joel fanfics to read!

Working Title | Chapter 14 (Dieter) by @rhoorl Another great update for Dieter and Belle - I'm rooting for these two from the sidelines and I'm exciting to see how things play out for them!

Delta Landscaping | Chapter 8 (Triple Frontier + Pedro Characters) by @rhoorl Okay, there's not one, but two Pedro Character appearances this week and I'm trying to figure out how I can move to Mule Falls Court like yesterday - because it's all going down over there and I highly recommend this be added to your reading if you haven't read it yet. A Month of Sundays (Various) by @gnpwdrnwhiskey I'm living for all of these prompts and I can't choose one or two because they've all been soooo good!

M E M O R A B L E  P O S T S . . .

I'm on edge as @for-a-longlongtime shares more of their WIP that is Peña x Rockford x Reader, with that line up you know it's going to be good!

Self Care with Dieter & Jett (@morallyinept) - this week it's emotions and highlights some important stuff!

More Dieter and his hippo table shenanigans delivered by @i-love-movies to @gnpwdrnwhiskey, this made my week 🤣

B R O U G H T  T H E  J O Y . . .

Bit of a personal one, but we got to do a little Halloween festive trip out yesterday with the little Truly's. Something you're not always able to do when you have a child with extra needs, as events such as these can be a bit overwhelming for a multitude of reasons. So when we're able to attend ones that are specially catered for families like ours, it's always a special occasion - even if it does make you realise how unfit you are wrangling two kids 🤣 Also, keeping on brand, Baby Truly adored all the Halloween decor and was waving and saying hello to her minions the props.

Watched the new Goosebumps on Disney+ not expecting much, and I actually enjoyed it. Little Betty would have been all over this as a kid.

Also, watched my annual viewing of Practical Magic, which thanks to the wonders of the digital age I own to stream to my heart's content regardless of the season.

T H I S  W E E K ' S  J A M . . .

Back in my Matchbox Twenty feels this week 💛 - this one has been in heavy rotation while writing!

Hope everyone has had a great week! Here's to a new week ahead! Hopefully, if Pedro makes another appearance we'll all be ready for it, or at least recovered by then! 😝🫠

Happy Sunday all! ☀️💛

Great Star Trek Rewatch - The Original Series S2

Originally posted on Twitter 26 October 2020 - 2 December 2020

Star Trek: The Original Series Season 2 is up next in my Great Star Trek Rewatch. As with ENT, DSC, STX, and TOS Season 1, mini-reviews will document my progress.

Amok Time: After 29 episodes and some contradictory continuity, we finally get the first concrete details on Mr. Spock and the Vulcan species. A classic fight scene rounds out a strong start to Season 2. 8/10

Who Mourns for Adonais?: A decent early Season 2 entry. The giant green space hand is iconic, but the meat of the story rises above. Thanks to this episode, it became tradition that chief engineers on the starships Enterprise can't catch a break in the romance department. 7/10

The Changeling: A dry run of sorts for the superior Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The second time Kirk talks a computer to death, and it's a slow burn to the climax. 6/10

Mirror, Mirror: One of the most enduring concepts across Trek's 50+ year history is the Mirror Universe. This is still one of the best Mirror Universe tales, simply for its originality and focus. 9/10

The Apple: A Prime Directive debate and some red shirt massacres forms the crux of this otherwise forgettable episode. Definitely not one I'd revist on a whim. Not terrible, just mediocre. 5/10

The Doomsday Machine: This one and "Balance of Terror" jockey back and forth for #1 on my list of the best TOS episodes. William Windom's performance is superb, the titular device is scary (I hid behind the sofa when I watched this one as a kid), and the score is iconic. 10/10

Catspaw: Star Trek and Halloween don't go very well together. Even though this has an ostensibly scientific explanation, it still reeks of magic and sorcery. It is goofy, that's why it gets 4/10.

I, Mudd: This one starts slow but turns into a classic comedy by the end. Carmel is back as Mudd, though the portrayal of his wife is problematic at best. 7/10

Metamorphosis: This poignant love story with a solid sci-fi hook just clicks for me. It’s not the best but it just works. 9/10

Journey to Babel: Season 2 is definitely Spock-focused, and those episodes have not disappointed. This is a classic for good reason: action, pathos, humor, world-building. 10/10

Friday’s Child: Tonal problems keep this one from joining the ranks of the true classics. It’s serviceable but dreadfully slow in the middle. The Capellans are a fascinating race, it’s too bad we don’t see them again. 6/10

The Deadly Years: Impressive 60s aging makeup aside, this one doesn’t do much for me. The old age jokes are stereotypes, though the use of elderly actors in the first act is ingenious. And a rare bit of serialization with a callback to “The Corbomjte Maneuver” is welcome. 6/10

Obsession: Kirk gets some backstory and dimension in a tight, tense script. This is a well-paced acting showcase for Shatner. 9/10

Wolf in the Fold: This would have made for an excellent Halloween episode. A gaseous/energy being is easier to believe than the “Catspaw” transmuter, oddly enough. The line about women being easier to scare, and the Kara dance, are typical ugly 60s sexism, unfortunately. 7/10

The Trouble with Tribbles: A fuzzy thing happens on the way to Sherman’s Planet. A classic that thoroughly earns the title, it’s endlessly rewatchable and filled to the brim with classic gags, one-liners, and scenes for the entire cast. 10/10

The Gamesters of Triskelion: Angelique Pettyjohn’s look is iconic, but not much else about this episode is. A huge letdown after the preceding episode. 5/10

A Piece of the Action: An excellent palate cleanser after the preceding dud. Really wish we could follow up on the Iotians some day. I forgot how funny this episode is. 9/10

The Immunity Syndrome: Season 2 giveth, and Season 2 taketh away. The concept of a spaceborne lifeform is compelling, but this is otherwise a dog of a show. 4/10

A Private Little War: when the show tackles the Vietnam allegory, it sings. When it focuses on Nona, it falters under the weight of 60s’ sexism and bigotry. 7/10

Return to Tomorrow: A different take on the non-corporeal beings trope that hangs around TOS like an albatross, this one is more nuanced and subtle than most. Come for Nimoy’s delightful villain performance, stay for the poignant denouement. 8/10

Patterns of Force: An examination of how easy it is for a society to fall in love with fascism misses the mark by claiming power and not racism was the animus of Nazism, much like Confederate apologists claim the Civil War was about rights and not slavery. 0/10

By Any Other Name: The Kelvans’ powers are frightening, but it’s an episode I just can’t get excited about, except for Scotty drinking one under the table. 6/10

The Omega Glory: Gene, your über-patriotism is showing. Another late Season 2 letdown. 3/10

The Ultimate Computer: TOS has a serious distrust of powerful computers/AI that fades somewhat in the later series. Daystrom is a tragic figure, and the horror of the murder of the Excalibur’s crew is effectively conveyed. 8/10

Bread and Circuses: The social commentary is on point, but two parallel Earth stories in three weeks is somewhat tiresome. Still, an entertaining yarn. 7/10

Assignment: Earth: I’m ambivalent on this back door pilot. I like the Gary Seven character, and I normally enjoy time travel stories, but it just doesn’t do a whole lot for me. It’s not excellent, it’s not bad, it just is. 6/10

And with that, Season 2 of TOS comes to an end in my Great Star Trek Rewatch. Final score: 6.77/10. Highest score(s): "The Doomsday Machine," "Journey to Babel," "The Trouble with Tribbles." Lowest score(s): "Patterns of Force"

X-men 97 season finale/show review

Okay I am officially caught up. Saw all the eps... so I'm gonna give my review/opinions. So spoilers ahead.....

Warning....

So warning if you don't like my opinion don't read....

Last warninggggg..........

.................................................

.................................................................

............................................................................

............................................................................................

Okay first on the eps. Ep 6 was okay, a pretty good filler. Not gonna lie tuned out of Xavier's bit. Not that it was boring, its just we all saw it coming. Gotta give Xavier a reason to leave/come back to work.

Did enjoy how in "class" he gave Deathbird an apple and told her "we raise our hands". Her sitting there like a kid bored in school. I AM curious on if they're gonna bring Vulcan aka the third Summers brother into the mix. Though if I'm gonna be blunt on memory... the show never did bring Havoc, sibling wise into the mix.

That I do have to say X-men Evolution attempted to do and give the Summers family some connection. Lets hope 97's writers will try to do the same and give Scott some connection with family.

Then we have more importantly Storm's part. I enjoyed her ep. Her transformation and regaining powers was just the best part of the moment. Welcome back Queen ;) .

Then we have ep 7 also okay. Had me on my toes story wise. Any take aways... uhhh.... enjoyed the cameos. Though after watching Rogue tear up Ross's place. I think he might wanna rethink the powerhold/or fortress? if she can tear up things.

I have thoughts on the Madelyne/Jean/Cyclops/Wolverine? thing but I'm gonna save my thoughts on the romance drama for the end cause I feel the writers dragged them a bit too much into the shows.

While I'm not entirely shocked that Rogue went on a rage like she did. I have mixed feelings on her killing Trask for several reasons. One, he actually seemed remorseful. Not like Gyrich, feel it would had been more impactful had it been him.

Secondly... nobody attempted to stop her. Now I get why Wolverine didn't stop her. Not to be so crude but he's basically the go-to character with killing. Just I dunno, considering Nightcrawler is "peaceful". He or Jean should have ATTEMPTED to stop her. I know we've all chalked it up to shock. But still feel any version/or comic version one of their instincts would have kicked in. But oh well.

Uhh... Beast/Trish reporter lady are a thing? I dunno... I know the series was clearly referencing their comic romance. But I'll be blunt the show didn't deliver on me giving a darn. Why? Cause its too fast.

I wanna say at most, Trish has only appeared two or three episodes. And its only been a span of two days at best. And all it was first ep was flirting. Then after Genosha they held arms? So... its impactful when he breaks up?... I'm just "she's been here two days I'm not really invested".

Same when she became a human sentinel (spoiler alert). He held her hand while resting and I'm just still not worried. Even if Trish comes back... their romance wasn't much to begin with. I do know that much from comics. She was like anti Lois Lang. More into the story than being moral. So yeah don't care about Trish, sorry.

I am surprised to see how Marvel/or writers are taking advantage of the streaming service. I'm watching murder, genocide, and I watched a full on murder scene by Bastion. Just whoa.

Hey even the scene with him shaving Magneto felt chilling. Streaming is giving them a much more edge, I'll say.

Now onto the bigger thing eps 8-10. Part 1 (episode 8), was very good with their animation. A LOT of good fight scenes. I mean I give so much kudos to the animators. Every fight scene was amazing to watch.

Story okay. A few nitpicks. One the Summers family. Don't get me wrong, I did LOVE the team up. They were great. But I dunno... it felt forced that Jean automatically takes on the role of stepmother/mother? to Cable. I kinda blame the writers as well on this one. It just felt a bit speeded. I do even remember in the original show, Cable did hold both in high regard. So I did know "okay at some point Jean will go back to Scott and become a mother figure to Cable". But the way they did it felt off.

Cause Scott never did get over Madelyne and its only been a FEW days. Not years, not months. Its been a couple of days. So it felt rushed that they've automatically gone from "I dunno where we stand" to "we have to stay together for OUR son". Our son?... Madelyne went on that whole shtick about being her own person. Going "No these are MY memories. I'M a person, not her copy". And they decide, "Okay Jean's her too. So Nate's her kid automatically"

Can I believe Madelyne and Jean share a psychic bond? Yeah, I can even believe thats why they can't separate their memories. Can I even see that after the smoke has cleared, Jean's viewed her as her sister.

I just find it so strange. That after all that gripping Madelyne did and how Jean attempted to understand her feelings. She's taking that "bond" as automatic... "Yeah Madelyne's me... so I'm taking the role of his mother." I dunno, if we cut this soap opera drama aside. Thats like hearing a sister go "okay my sister's dead. I'm taking her husband and son"... or other way around? I dunno either way its a mess and felt rushed.

My other nitpick... Roberto's mother just letting him be "arrested"? by the robots. Well their numbers in general. I did get the whole "chatroom" reference. But I feel they did a bit of a jump with the numbers of how many robots they made. I think a whole hometown (or whereever Bastion came from) would still be enough for the finale. But they made it like almost the equivalent of mutants. And I"m "hehhh".

I dunno feels like they did that for shock value. But even for shock, still felt a stretch. I mean what are the ODDS. Trish was secretly a mutant hater? I dunno too much of easy "oh we gotta make this shocking too".

Sorry back to Roberto's mother. Now just to make note, I'm not shocked how she behaved. The whole "lets keep this underwraps". Was clearly a ref to parents of LGBTQ in the 90s. But ref or not. I'm just "Okay so the rich people are upset about the two mutants?". Not the clearly flying robot people who come in and bark orders?

I mean even the most dumbest person would have just looked and said "Wait... are ya'll cops?". Those robots had no badges. But the mom's like "yeah .. he's a danger I'm gonna let my son go with the two weirdos who broke through my windows. Cause THATS more normal"

I dunno I think it would had been more effective if, the robots had just come charging in and made a scene, threatened the party guests. Jubes and Roberto save the day. But instead the mom kicks them out and chastises him for bring his "mutant problems" to the house with her company present. I think that would had been more realstic then the random robots acting like they're cops... though they have no legal authority.

But whatever, writers.

I did ironically like that whole monologue with Cooper. Her scene and Magneto's scene was powerful. Though... back to cameos... why is Doom helping? I mean I don't expect him to be a mutant alley. I was just "hey what does he gain from this?"

Then onto Part 2, uh wasn't shocked Roberto or Rogue followed Magneto. Felt Magneto was being a bit overdramtic with him being mad about Xavier being Lilandra. I'm "dude... he was dying to be fair". But okay.

Again, blaming writers on this. Though I'm not shocked Rogue went with Magneto... uhh because they keep dragging this love triangle. It felt more like she was just going to be with her very old lover. Which is ironic cause she's still grieving over Gambit. So its not that I don't believe her. Its more of the writers made it feel like the triangle was still there. Uhh not to mention part of her reasoning... she's all "I'm not gonna watch another die".

Thennnn why are you following someone who will kill your teammates? I mean I'm sorry after all that fighting everyone got over all that fast. I mean maybe in part three they apologized off screen. But still... Rogue's so close to the X-men. I'm just surprised there wasn't a scene were she's all "Damn it Logan why did you have to do that? I didn't want this. And I don't want to lose anyone else either" or something along those lines.

But whatever the fight/climax scenes were good. Shocking but good.

Part 3 finale. As I said they got over that drama fast but okay. Loved Phoenix/ Jean's scene. Still feel a bit rushed, not earned that she's automatically called Cable's mother. But whatever.

Enjoyed the bar/mind scenes with Charles/Erik.

Again loved EVERY cameo. Nice to see they added MJ in there, show Spiderman does get his happy ending.

Was a bit surprised Cyclops kinda took the Xavier route at the end with Bastion. But I get it at the same time.

Fight scenes were amazing... not entirely shocked the US government shot at the asteroid. Mostly I just wanted to say "are ya'll that stupid? yeah shoot something that close to earth". Not gonna lie gonna tune out season 2, depending how long they drag the time travel eps. Time travel is not really my forte.

Do hope having Apocalypse at Genosha means they'll bring back Gambit.

Take aways... so SICK of Rogue/Magneto being shoehorned in. I don't care if its in the comics. Didn't like it then, don't like it now. I just barely tolerated it because comic wise, nobody's aged (save for a few I guess) since World War II. And I tolerated Kate/Immortal cause it wasn't as much shoehorned/or focused. And Kate's younger than Rogue.

But this pft. Sorry writers you're not selling me on this. You LITERALLY couldn't fin a character a bit older? Or even focus on Magda? No we gotta focus on this May/Decemeber romance. Gosh still feels like they're dragging on this for season 2. The look Magneto had. Like an awkward ex.

I just know the writers did Gambit dirty on this. And I suppose I shouldn't be shocked since some of the writers were guys.

Just gah, I rolled my eyes when we had to focus on Rogue/Magneto. Like Rogue was the only thing he ever loved. Now I could sorta understand why his children were blurred. He has almost no relationship with any of them. But I still feel like for someone who misses family so much, his children should be there. The "family I always wanted". Always out of reach, whether its his choice or not.

I mean for goodness sake we could have a Magda reference. Everyone's always stated she was his great, only love. They could have moved on that. Felt like a wasted possibility.

Though am hoping, we'll get a Polaris/father meet cue or siblings moment as well. Glad THIS version of Marvel has kept the siblings together. Yeah Marvel comics, still pissed you tore the twins away from Magneto.

Anything else... uhh Morph's in love with Wolverine? I know someone's gonna say "No he just took Jean's form to make him feel better". Maybe... but considering his update now. Doesn't feel like that. Feel like he's got a huge crush on Wolvie. I'm not entirely against. I mean yeah the voice in the old series made me question his age.

But unlike the whole Rogue/Magneto thing. Doesn't feel as cringey. Morph's older, I'm assuming. And hasn't been isolated or any of those "I'm in a vulnerable place". Depending on what the writers wanna go with that is really up to them.

I can see it going either way. Wolvie going the other way, considering Jean won't love him. Finding a relationship with Morph. Or unfortunately, Morph's in Wolvie's spot. Pinning for someone who just sees him as a friend.

Now onto the soap operaaaaaa. The big bone I'd have to give the writers is how they handled Jean/Scott/Madelyne/ Wolverine rectangle.

Now some fairness, yes I read the writers gave into the soap. Not excuse for rushing. Maybe the writers didn't know they'd get two seasons. Maybe they thought "we'll be lucky to get two".

But I WAS hoping, they would actually separate Scott and Jean for a bit. After those moments with Jean and Logan, yeah I became a shipper. So I thought "Okay they can break up". Given the mess, I was okay. Jean breaks up, says "I gotta find out where we go. Where I go?". She tries to find herself. Sees Logan will always love her and put her happiness first.

Her and Wolverine at least have ONE date, when Logan feels they're in a comfortable space. What happens I dunno 8B. I just wanted to see that.

Scott and Madelyne talk. See if things are genuinely there. Now I don't wanna say "base on comics". Cause comic wise... lol Cyclops has a problem with being faithful. I would just prefer they realize things won't work out and reconnect.

But we don't get that. Instead it all feels rushed and this was done in a matter of a couple of days. So all that drama/finding myself went fast without a development or ahaha moment to me.

Thats about it. Despite all my gripping. I do GEUNINELY like this show and recommend it. Its still good and a good connection to the original show.

JUST BRING BACK GAMBIT D8<. Other than that I don't have a lot of demands/wants for seasons 2 or 3. Other than a few small character suggestions I written earlier.

Wouldn't mind a Spiderman crossover. Considering their friendship in the comics. Would love another Spidey/Wolvie day out. Even bring MJ into the mix as a friend. Would love Nightcrawler and Spidey being buds as well.

TV reviews - Geddy Lee Asks: Are Bassists Human Too? / John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial

This week I got to review two unscripted mini-series that both dropped recently on streamers.

Geddy Lee Asks: Are Bassists Human Too?

As the singer and bassist for Rush, Geddy Lee has amassed quite a cult following. They were a thinking man's rock trio where you literally felt smarter just for listening to them. I went through a serious Rush phase as a teen. I had heard their hits, but began buying their 70s CDs one by one. I even learned some of their songs when I was taking guitar lessons. 2112, their epic rock opera, is my personal fave of their discography. In 1996, I saw the band live at the Meadowlands in NJ. Fantastic live band too. Now, Lee is getting his own limited unscripted series Geddy Lee Asks: Are Bassists Human Too? which premiered on Paramount+ last week.

TV poster

Produced by Banger Films and directed by Sam Dunn (who directed the Rush doc Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage as well as Super Duper Alice Cooper, and ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band from Texas, this is sort of like Geddy Lee's version of a travel show, where a host visits a different location each episode, talks to a local (or many), and takes in the local food and culture. The four episodes that have been released are Lee speaking with Les Claypool of Primus and The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Robert Trujillo of Metallica, Melissa Auf der Maur of Hole and Smashing Pumpkins, and Krist Novoselic of Nirvana and 3rd Secret. Lee goes to their home, does activities with them and eventually talks and plays music with them. It is very much insider-baseball for musicians.

Lee is an engaging figure and a great host. All of these subjects so far have been bassists who came along after Rush and in some cases there was overlap between their band and Rush, but I think it might be interesting if the next season was bassists who pre-dated Rush. As a huge fan of Novoselic and Auf der Maur, and very familiar with Claypool and Trujillo, I of course was fully engaged in their rapport and conversation. Novoselic showing Lee his grange and flying with him on his plane is something I could watch all day! In some instances, it's Lee discovering things he hasn't done before like surfing with Trujillo. This is a cool show for music geeks, but beyond Paul McCartney the average person can't name too many bassists, so it's nice to see bassists talking shop and then some!

John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial

The December 8, 1980 murder of John Lennon outside his NYC apartment building at the hands of deranged "fan" Mark David Chapman is one of the great tragedies in that he was such a tremendous talent taken from us at age 40 way before his time. I was only about 4 when it happened, so I don't have any "where were you when Lennon was shot" memories (although I was into the Yellow Submarine movie). In later years as I got into The Beatles and Lennon's solo work, I saw many documentaries and specials about that tragedy. Not only was Lennon in a good place and happy with wife Yoko Ono and raising his 5 year-old son Sean, but he had just released a new album Double Fantasy, his first in five years and you got the sense it was the start of a big comeback. I've visited the Lennon memorial Strawberry Fields in Central Park many times. But I digress. The tragic murder is now a 3-part documentary mini-series John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial, which just premiered on Apple TV+.

TV poster

Narrated by Kiefer Sutherland, this is a deep dive into the day of the murder (what Lennon was doing leading up to the assassination, what Chapman was doing), the investigation, the trial and outcome.

Anyone who reads this blog, knows I am a lifelong Beatle and Lennon fanatic. Just recently, I got to review the documentary The Lost Weekend: A Love Story about May Pang’s relationship with Lennon and I also got to review the re-release of The Beatles’ Red and Blue albums. So I went into this very familiar with the subject. The thing that impressed me most was the depth of interview subjects, i.e. cab drivers that night, police and law enforcement that night, Dakota employees and residents, hospital staff and more. Hearing their recollections and some of the archival footage are quite impressive. But the thing that Lennon fans needs to understand going into this is that this is more of a true crime doc than a music or celebrity doc. I say this because there are very few Lennon musical collaborators other than producer Jack Douglas, and Yoko and Sean are shown in archival footage. There have been some fantastic Lennon docs in the past, notably Imagine: John Lennon (possibly the best Lennon doc there's been), The U.S. vs. John Lennon, and LennoNYC. This one is very much looking into the crime itself, the legal ramifications and the outcome. Do not expect to learn much about Lennon himself here if you're a fan, but you might learn quite a bit about Chapman (not that you necessarily want to know more about that monster). As a documentarian I can appreciate this doc series, but as Lennon fan I wanted a little more about Lennon, his family and the recording he was doing at that time, and it only scratched that surface.

Not-So-Micro BL Reviews

This is mostly me doing catch up on all the things that I have been watching/was watching and then abandoned when I found Midnight Museum and fell like a ton of bricks (this is still something that confuses me but what can you do, really?) It will be long - I missed or ignored a LOT for a while.

Catch Up Dramas:

All the Liquors - This one never did anything revolutionary, but I have to admit that I liked the awkwardness of Chef. I really liked BFF cutie though. He was seriously the highlight of the entire show for me. Cute, if mostly predictable and not really plot heavy. Very KBL kiss. 7.5/10

Our Dating Sim - This was just a little gem of a series. The chemistry was on point and the conflicts made sense from what we were given of the characters. For how short it was, the emotional arc was satisfying. It's a solid little drama, and I quite enjoyed it. Good kisses, too, and not just for a KBL. 8/10

A Shoulder to Cry On - I just don't think that this one was for me, and that's okay. Part of me feels like if I were younger it would have landed better - it's dealing with some pretty serious topics and yet something about it feels a little too OTT for me, like they're kids playacting at adult emotions rather than it being genuine. IDK. I wanted to like it more than I did. This is one of the ones where the time skip actually worked in its favor though. 6/10

The New Employee (I know, don't look at me) - you know, I don't know why I randomly stopped watching this. It's adorable, and it actually does manage to convey the business drama pretty well on top of the cute, which I didn't expect from such a short drama. They also made me really dislike Manager Park, so kudos to them for that. I do like that Jong Chan genuinely believes in Seung Hyun's ability, and that he encourages him in that capacity. Overall this show was just cute, okay? It was. 8/10.

Bed Friend - I had such high hopes for this one. High apple pie in the sky hopes, even. I love me a FWB that gets serious (even if King was clearly pining for more from like, day 1 I don't even care. I've been wanting that fix since Between Us (another one where at least one of the FWB was clearly ready for more almost immediately, but hey what can you do). And these two are very, very good at selling that they want each other so kudos for that (and they clearly still want each other after the feelings and do not turn into blushing maidens who apparently haven't heard of kissing before, Team)). But around the time the gross boss Krit decided to invite himself over for family dinner with worst mother and SA stepdaddy and worst mother was like "oh yes he's perfect for you, son" I tuned out and didn't bother tuning back in until recently. I feel like there's only so much misery you can pile on one character before I either stop caring or start finding it unintentionally hilarious. I have to keep reminding myself that I am a Westerner so I don't understand the family dynamics in these things, that's all. Honestly Uea's inability to cut his awful mother out of his life is just not something that I can resonate with. It does amuse me though how often parents in these dramas are either amazing or awful, with not a lot of in between, normal sort of hey, sometimes parents do dumb things too because they are fallible and human. I guess that doesn't make for good drama. King and Uea are very cute, though, and I do really like them when they get to just chill and be boyfriends with each other, although I have to admit the end got a little too saccharine for me. I swear I can be so picky, sigh. The show might not have fulfilled all my hopes, but once it got off the misery train it was fine. 8/10

Moonlight Chicken - I loved this drama. And the funny thing is that it was low on my radar - literally the only reason I was planning on watching at first was due to First and Khao. That was it. The plot wasn't even really my thing, I figured I'd just be waiting for those two to show up and that would be that. But nope, I loved it. This felt like just the kind of grown up drama I've been aching for, one that was ultimately less BL and more, well, life, with all of its complications and messes. It just so happened that the main characters were gay. More of this, please, Thailand. I promise you that there is an audience for it. I liked how messy it was, and in such a believable way. From Wen and Alan's extremely slow breakup to Jim's trauma becoming a sort of shield for him against opening up to people to Heart and Li Ming's wholehearted jump into a first relationship, the characters felt real and grounded and i loved it. No one was perfect (well, except Gaipa who is honestly a sweetheart too good for this world - I loved his huge crush on Jim even though I knew it wasn't gonna go anywhere, he was so sweet and unassuming about it, best unrequited love ever). Jim especially won my heart, because the way his walls worked was so relatable to me. I think that some people don't quite get how easy it is to shut yourself off, and how once you do it it is so much easier to just keep letting past trauma keep you from moving forward, not necessarily in ways that hinder your entire life, just parts of it. Jim's utter reluctance to let Wen in and his worry about Li Ming made so much sense to me. He'd been burned and burned hard, it's only natural that he'd want to protect his beloved nephew from the same pain, even though he went about it in the worst way possible most of the time. :D But that's not how it works for the young, and that's a good thing. Yeah, Li Ming might crash and burn, he and Heart might not be forever, but that's okay. I have heard people complaining that Earth is way too young to play Jim, but I honestly thought he suited the role, actually. It might be my favorite role of his yet. Final Verdict: 9.5/10. This was almost my perfect drama and if I could have more of this I would be delighted.

New (to me) Dramas

A Tale of a Thousand Stars - watched because of Our Skyy2. I wanted to be looking forward to more than just The Eclipse and Never Let Me Go, haha. It was fine. I really liked Tian, even when he was being a spoiled shit. There's something about Mix, I think, that makes him extremely watchable. I do not really feel that way about Earth and I was mostly annoyed by Phupha. *shrug* I wanted him to actually talk to Tian rather than making decisions for him - sure Tian was impulsive but so much of his problem was with his parents running his life, he didn't need that in a lover, too. Once Phupha pulled his head out of his ass it was better, but my goodness that took a while, didn't it? Also what is it with this pairing and these weird "does he love me or my sister/the woman who's heart I have" plots? Glad Moonlight Chicken moved away from that kind of plotline, even if I do actually really like Cupid's Last Wish (more than this one, actually - I get the sense that is unusual but I don't care, I love it). Overall though this wasn't bad, even if I felt like it dragged a bit in places. Am genuinely sad that they put Khaotung in a Earh/Mix vehicle and didn't have him gently pining over either of them. He did it so well in Moonlight Chicken, after all. Final Verdict: 8/10

Star and Sky - Star In My Mind & Sky in Your Heart - these were fine. I felt like there was a lot of drama over very little, but they're decent little slice of life kind of dramas. Easily consumed, easily forgotten. 6/10 for both.

Rewatches (because why the hell not right)

The Eclipse - I just love this drama. *shrug* It's so incredibly rewatchable. Plus, you know. I love Akk, he's exactly my kind of character. I honestly can't wait for the Our Skyy2 episodes but they look a little nuts. Honestly though I don't even care so long as we get some cute - I think that there were enough tears during the show proper. Yes both First and Khao cry well but still.

Cupid's Last Wish - You know, the first time I watched this I think that I said I was pleasantly surprised because I expected it to be a lot less obvious that Korn was so gone on Win that no one else even entered his big, dumb head. I was worried that it would be more of a "oh, I fell in love with you as a girl but it's still you" thing, and it...was very much not. I thought they also did a real good job walking the line between showing Win and showing Lin, and I have to give a lot of credit to Jan for her portrayal of Win as Lin. Pitch perfect, really. I say again, there's just something about Mix that is likeable - I've enjoyed him in ever single drama I've seen him in thus far, although Earth as Moonlight Chicken's Jim has my whole heart. He really shone in that role. My one quibble with this is how everyone just forgives the mom for being awful. I don't know, I guess I'm just a grudge holder. Anyway I originally rated this at a 7.5, but due to sheer rewatchability and how much fun I actually do find it, I'm moving it up to an 8.5/10. It's fun, I like it a lot, I will probably watch it again at some point.

Looking Forward To

I'm honestly kind of out of the loop with this! I don't really know what is coming up, so my list is very short:

Only Friends

Dangerous Romance

Both of them seem messy, messy, and i am ready for it. I also can't wait for the Utsukushii Kare movie but I'm going to have to, so.

I'm also excited for whatever comes up for the renewed drama shower slot for MBS. I wasn't a fan of all of them last year (I loved one of them beyond all reason, liked two, was meh on two and DNF one), but I love that I can look forward to at least one drama coming out of Japan for a while.

Whew! That wasn't so bad, was it?

Winter 2023 Anime Review

This has got to be the longest season ever. I swear I stopped watching anime for a good few months and came back and the season's still going. I definitely cut down the amount of shows I watched this season since I burnt out but the upcoming Spring season should be a banger. My top 3 for this season: Buddy Daddies Sugar Apple Fairy Tail The Vampire Dies in No Time Season 2 Here's this seasons final reviews:

Giant Beasts of Ars - 12 Episodes Definitely one of the better anime originals I've seen in a while. This is a new sci-fi fantasy concept that felt a little reminiscent of Ghibli content. I was satisfied with the story but was a little disappointed they didn't end it off with 1 season. 8/10- Very Good

Trigun Stampede - 12 Episodes I honestly loved this. Studio Orange killed it with the 3d animations (they did Beastars) and the story is well rounded. I think the series is definitely underated and many people skipped it due to the animation style but it's 100% worth a watch. 8/10 - Very Good

Vinland Saga Season 2 - (Still airing - 12/24 Episodes) Who knew we'd see Facebook's farmville be animated in such detail. But honestly, the first half of this season is absolutely brutal. I know they're keeping it real and the slow pace makes the rest of the season stand out all that much more but damn. Doesn't pick up until episode 9 but somehow I still have high hopes for the rest of the season. (Side note - Mappa is killing it as usual with this take-over) 7/10 - Good

Blue Lock - Part 2 (Episodes 13-24) This is definitely still one of the best sports anime I've seen in the last few years. All the characters are unique and enjoyable to watch, the art style is solid and well executed and the story progresses at a decent rate. I honestly don't have many complaints about this series. (of course other than the usual butchering of english in the last 2 episodes) If you like sports anime, soccer or just want to watcha battle royal, this is one to check out. 8/10 - Very Good Endo and Kobayashi Live! - 12 Episodes This honestly didn't feel like a novel concept but I had a lot of fun. It's 2 romance stories in 1 but with all the fun of shitty otome game intervention animes. (I can't believe this is a genre now). Just overall wholesome fun. 7/10 - Good Revenger - 12 Episodes I really thought this series could've been better. While I did enjoy it to some extent, the story ended up feeling very superficial and didn't feel like it really went in depth on any of the characters and just floated along the surface story for the whole season. 5/10 - Average Tomo-Chan is a Girl - 13 Episodes I nearly stopped at the first episode. I'm still not 100% sold on the concept where this strong girl just wants to be seen as a romantic interest and a lot of the gender stuff was really on the edge but I think they managed to walk around it. The story did end up being cute without it stepping all over tomboys. Was fun to watch but not as good as the hype behind the manga. 6/10 - Fine Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill - 12 Episodes I really enjoyed the manga for this series and I was stoked that Mappa picked it up. I found that as long as you don't try to look for a serious story from this series it's a fun lighthearted watch. Definitely made me hungry while watching. 7/10 - Good The Eminence In Shadow - Second Half I think this show was actually pretty fun. Definitely more of a fantasy than isekai since it has nothing to do with his previous life. I had fun with Shadow's character but found that it got boring for a few episodes until the end. If it continues I'll likely still check it out. 7/10 - Good

The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague - 12 Episodes This was really cute and I liked the change of pace from other romance series where they're all workforce adults, like in Wotakoi. Still felt that it didn't really go anywhere. Enjoyed it but likely won't continue to watch if there's a second season. 6/10 - Fine

[telly-tell-alls]

Five days at Memorial

A+

A plus plus actually.

Before I start let me refer back to a previous review as this show has an intro that will bring the whole family together. The introduction music gets stuck in my head every time and I find myself singing in the accent in which it is sung long after the introduction has ended. It has became my favorite part of the show. I recommend this show to someone and they are hooked.

I was on the phone with them while the introduction was being played and it was back stuck in my head. I watched this show awhile ago but it definitely needed to be highlighted

You can stream this fine piece of work on Apple TV , The show is a true story about Memorial hospital in New Orleans Louisiana when hurricane Katrina flooded the city and what ensued after like the levee system breaking and I’ll leave it there for you guys to pick up. They were stranded with no power and there were some decisions that had to be made by doctors that were between life and death. Being I work at a hospital this show absolutely had my attention from start to finish, it’s a mini series so I think like 8 episodes. Definitely recommend it.

Sony Bravia 55 Inch 4K UHD Smart TV 2023

Many of the TV brands available on the market simply offer sufficient features and efficient performance. Televisions are among the many electrical gadgets made by the well-known technological company Sony. The Sony Bravia 55-inch 4K UHD Smart TV 2023, which has two screen sizes of 55 and 65 inches, was recently introduced by the electronics giant.

We will carefully examine the Sony Bravia 55 inch 4k UHD Smart TV 2023 in this full-depth blog post to determine whether or not it is the greatest gaming TV on the Indian market.

Highlights: Best TV Under 60000

Fantastic HDR performance

Deep blacks with great details

Seamless PS5 Integration

In The Box

1 LED TV

1 AC Power Cord

1 Remote Control

1 Table-Top Stand

1 User Manual

2 AAA Batteries

Design and Build: Sony Bravia 55 inch 4k Android TV

Remote

Sony Bravia 55 inch 4k smart TV’s remote control has been improved over the models. Sony used to provide a long, heavy remote control with the TV, though this time the tech giant has significantly cut the remote’s size.

Bezels

The Sony Bravia 74L maintains the same design as the Sony 74K and Sony 74L 2023, the company’s earlier televisions. The TV’s medium-sized bezels give it a fairly modest appearance.

Body and Back

The body of the Sony Bravia 55-inch 4K smart TV is entirely made of plastic, just like the older Sony 74K and Sony 74L 2023 models. The TV stand is also made of plastic.

The Sony X74L TV is protected by X-Protection PRO from unexpected circumstances and unexpected occurrences such as dust, moisture, power spikes, and lightning strikes.

Stands

A desktop stand is already included in the box with the Sony Bravia 55-inch 4K smart TV. After reviewing, we discovered that the TV stand is sturdy and composed of plastic.

Connectivity Options

With a variety of connectivity options, the Sony Bravia 55-inch 4K Android TV lets you easily connect it to other devices.

3X HDMi

2X USB ports

1X ethernet

1X AV input

1X antenna

Bluetooth 5.0

Dual-band WiFi for better connectivity

App

Many apps, such as Netflix, YouTube, Zee5, Prime Video, and others, are included with the Sony Bravia 55-inch 4K Android TV.

Software/ Tech Features and OS

The Google TV OS, Android 11, is pre-installed on the Sony Bravia X74L. The Google OS, which contains panels of suggested content on the home screen, and the Play Store, which offers more than 5000 apps — the most of any TV OS — are also available.

Casting

The Sony Bravia X74L has built-in Chromecast and Apple Airplay for screencasting, making it simple and seamless to cast your Apple and Android devices to the TV.

About Panel

The Sony Bravia X74L’s panel has not been improved over the Sony 74K, which it replaces. Although the features are completely different from those of the earlier televisions, it still includes an IPS screen — more specifically, an 8 Bit FRC IPS DLED panel.

Brightness Test

We carefully investigated the panel’s brightness using two separate techniques. We discovered that the peak brightness was 440 nits after finishing the brightness test.

Picture Quality

Colour Optimization

Red, green, and blue are all part of the colour gamut, which is where the natural colour profile shows you the colours as they are. The panel has motion flow XR100 technology, an X1 4K graphic processor, and a 60 Hz refresh rate.

Colour Saturation

The Sony Bravia 55-inch 4K Android TV’s display and colours have been greatly optimised by Sony, and the colours look fantastic.

Blacks

Compared to the Sony 74K, the Sony Bravia 55 Inch 4K UHD Smart TV 2023 boasts richer blacks. To maximise the TV’s performance, two more technologies; frame dimming and dynamic contrast enhancer.

HDR Brightness

We have no issues with the visual quality of the Sony TV; its HDR performance is superb. The TV still has outstanding HDR capabilities even if Sony has lowered the max brightness by 30 nits.

OTT Performance

Speaking of the Sony TV 55-inch X74’s OTT capabilities, we watched a series on Prime Video, and the TV’s HDR performance was excellent across all video formats. This TV does not have Dolby Vision, however, it does support HDR 10 and HLG.

STB Performance:

We reviewed the KD-55X74L TV’s set-top box performance and discovered that it upscales and presents the material well.

USB Playback

Outstanding visual quality is provided by the Sony Bravia 55-inch 4K UHD Smart TV 2023 when viewing any type of HD, Full HD, or 4K material.

Other Features

Concerning the extra features, we evaluated the gaming capabilities of the Sony Bravia KD-55X74L, and the findings are as follows.

Gaming

For gaming performance, the Sony Bravia 55-inch 4K UHD Smart TV has a special feature, an HDMI ARC 2.1 connector, and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode).

Audio Quality

The audio output of the speakers has been improved by Sony over the previous models, and it is suitable for a 200 square foot space. Average audio output can be produced by the speakers; a soundbar is not necessary.

Warranty & Guarantee

How Apple TV’s Dark Matter Gets It Right About Alternate Realities

There’s a lot to like about Apple TV’s mind-bending series Dark Matter. Indeed, a lot of people are raving about the show. It enjoys a solid 83 percent on Rotten tomatoes and IMDB rates it at a very near 8 on its user-review scale. 

Admittedly, I’m only at the first season’s fourth episode. Still, the story is well-grounded in excellence. The writing and acting are great. I’m enjoying the storytelling too. But what’s blowing my mind so far is how Dark Matter’s creators have nailed the process of visiting infinite dimensions comprising what they call the Multiverse.

And while the series’ story, acting, writing and technical aspects merit accolades, I believe the series’ success rests largely in another aspect of the show. That is, Dark Matter resonates with deep knowledge humanity possesses. Its creators, consciously or not, are urging humanity to expand beyond its limiting beliefs.

There’s a lot to explore here. Let’s jump in.

What is Dark Matter (the show)

Before we get to the fun stuff, I realize some may not have seen Dark Matter yet. It first aired on May 8 this year, so even I’m late to the party. I didn’t know about it until a client raved about its premise.

Like me, the show surprised her. That’s because the show’s “technical” details of alternate dimension travels accord very much with what she’s learning in her Positively Focused practice.

She said I should watch it. I just started watching this month. So if you don’t know about the show, here’s a brief, non-spoiler explanation. At least as far as I know it.

Dark Matter is about a science teacher in our present dimension. An alternate version of him succeeded in traveling through alternate dimensions through an invention the science teacher imagined, but didn’t follow through on. When the teacher chose not to follow through, physical reality forked to where a version of him did follow through, thus creating the breakthrough in an alternate reality.

But the version of the teacher who made the breakthrough is unhappy. He regrets decisions he made. So he travels to the science teacher’s dimension and abducts him with plans to replace him in our dimension. He leaves the teacher in his reality, bewildered and alone and surrounded by people demanding his genius.

That’s all I know so far.

Evidence proves it accurate

What you just read already reveals how accurate this series is. For indeed, every move we make in this reality creates multidimensional forks in “time”.

From that fork, infinite versions of what happens next come into being. Each of those versions include choice(s) we didn’t make, thereby allowing All That Is to explore all possible versions of reality.

Now, I know, it’s hard to accept what you just read as actually happening without evidence that it’s happening. That’s why, in the Positively Focused practice advanced sessions, we introduce meditation and dream work. Through meditation and dream work, we’re introduced to all these alternate versions of ourselves. We get to experience those alternate dimensions forking from our actions. With practice, we can visit those dimensions at will.

Doing so requires pretty heroic focus. It takes an unusual desire to get this far in the practice. Several clients are at the beginning stages of that level and what they’re finding is astonishing them.

What I’ve found astonishes me still. But that’s another story.

A deeply satisfying adventure

Dark Matter astonishes me too. It’s astonishing to me because it puts out there, right in the open, an invitation for human beings to expand beyond what they are. I write about this all the time and tell my clients the same.

Those ready to receive the invitation don’t see the show the same way those not ready to receive it do. The latter group just finds the show an engaging escape, an entertaining sci-fi drama that delivers. For the former group however, they find themselves inexplicably moved. Some of the moved ones will dismiss what’s happening.

But a small number of those might question what they’re experiencing. They might go so far as to try out for themselves perceiving their alternate lives. When they do, they begin a path that is irreversible. Irreversible and deeply satisfying should they continue.

And I believe this is the deeper message behind all good art. Artists offer themselves as conduits for All That Is. And their art communicates deeply accurate messages about reality, the Universe and ourselves. Moving pictures are some of the most powerful art.

Dark Matter offers a highly accurate communication. Its premises are real. As are the possibilities. But like all communication, distortions exist in the show. I want to look at those next.

They’re not fatal

Remember, I’ve only seen four episodes. So there’s probably more in store for my experience. Still the distortions, once understood, can be dispensed with. Do that and the message becomes far more accurate.

Many distortions in film, for example, involve good intentions of the creators. They’re making entertainment after all. So they often overly complicate the story to keep it engaging. They also include a lot of violence that’s not as reflective as what’s really happening. Another thing they do is include random acts that don’t make sense in the context of what’s really happening in the world outside of the show.

For example, it wouldn’t be possible for an alternate version of me to come into my reality, abduct me and take me back to his reality. Many reasons explain why this is so.

Firstly, subatomic particles comprising our bodies are the same ones comprising our alternate versions. Such particles not only vibrate, but also blink “on” and “off” in our reality. When they’re “off” here, they are “on” in our alternate realities. And when they’re “off” in those realities, they’re “on” here.

So it wouldn’t be possible for an alternate me and me to exist physically in the same reality. And that’s where things get really….interesting.

We are conscious energy

It gets interesting because if that’s the case then the alternate reality in which I meet myself must not exist, which means not all alternate realities happen.

But hold on, partner. That reality does exist. It just doesn’t exist in such a way that we can do what the Dark Matter characters do in the series.

[So I’m getting more and more exited writing about this because doing so is opening so many avenues to explore. I realize I must keep this post as short as possible, so I’m doing my best not to get too excited!]

We are not our bodies. We are what Seth calls the “Gestalt consciousness” that rides in, among and through the collective consciousness that is our bodies. That collective includes subatomic particles in our bodies, each of which enjoys consciousness as well.

It has to be true that we’re not our bodies, because at death, we continue existing even though the body deconstructs.

TThis is obvious in what humans call dreaming. There, we can see, hear, taste, communicate and even think and move around. We’re obviously doing all that outside our bodies. For as we engage in what we call the dream, our bodies are back under the covers in our beds!

What we are is conscious energy. We are vibration beings living a much bigger and more interesting experience than the ones we put ourselves into through these bodies.

In the dream state then, and in other altered consciousness experiences, we can visit our alternate selves. We do that every night when we dream. And Positively Focused clients are also learning to do that consciously, while awake.

But there’s even more happening. Something that also makes the Dark Matter plot fall apart. Let’s look at that next.

Nesting doll reality of All That Is

Each of our selves, living in each of these dimensions, live there while simultaneously connected to every other self. Not only that, each of those selves are constantly communicating and influencing one another. That makes sense when we consider the nature of our Broader Perspective.

Our Broader Perspective is that part of us that gave birth to us from a fork in its experience. It is that larger part of us remaining in nonphysical and guiding us through our human experience. It is us, as we are us in our bodies. It’s just a broader part of us.

That broader part of us also has a Broader Perspective. Like Russian nesting dolls, this lineage of Broader Perspectives run incessantly, all the way “back” to the original being that got all this All That Is started. Of course, there was no beginning. All That Is has been and always will be.

The point of all this is that there’s no need for one of our selves to come take over another of ourselves. That’s because each of us experiences viscerally in the dream state and other consciousness levels all that the other selves experience. We literally can feel their experiences. And that’s why living positively in this experience has such huge ramifications.

How we be in this life affects every other “life” that is ours in these other dimensions. And when we live this life positively, not only do we enjoy positive experiences as reflections of that inner state, we also influence all our other selves in their dimensions. Indeed, they affect us too, which is why sometimes we might find ourselves inexplicably sad, or pensive…or happy.

Thoughts are powerful, but momentum more so

There’s another distortion that happens I’m almost sure was because the show creators wanted to make the show exciting. In another part of the show, the teacher and a mental health practitioner begin exploring alternate dimensions through the device the other version of the teacher created. Their travels are chaotic and harrowing. Every alternate reality they find is a post-apocalyptic rendition of Earth.

The characters realize at one point that their thoughts just before opening a door are what causes them to enter said renditions. This is hogwash. To understand why, we must consider momentum.

Momentum is the basis of thoughts turning to things. That includes any kind of thought about experiencing supernatural abilities. Everyone naturally understands momentum. We talk about how it takes a long distance to stop a freight train, or how a cargo ship can’t “turn on a dime”. In other words, the more momentum an object has, the less likely that object will change direction.

The same is true with thoughts.

Since every human is first a pure, positive energy being, each enjoys an extremely strong momentum of positive orientation. This especially holds when considering most of us have lived very large numbers of previous lives. Our thoughts and intentions have a lot of momentum therefore.

This includes beliefs about whether it’s even possible to visit another dimension. Most of us don’t believe that’s possible. That explains why most don’t recognize having such experiences.

So a blithe thought one moment isn’t going to have enough momentum to move someone into another reality, especially one that is frightening, like a post-apocalyptic alternate reality.

But there’s a caveat.

Thoughts and momentum work together

In nonphysical, where alternate realities intertwine, very little resistance exists. As a result, it is very easy to get momentum going within the relatively small resistance levels there. But even then, it would take more than a passing thought, while in that altered state, to manifest or draw to us a harrowing alternate experience.

We can experience such experiences, but they usually happen after we’ve focused a bit on an unpleasant scenario. Another way such an experience can easily happen is if a lot of negative momentum exists around dominant negative thoughts and beliefs. This explains why in our practice we strive to live as positively as possible. Because when we do transition, whatever thought-momentum we possess we take with us in our return to nonphysical. That can be a problem.

For example, a Christian who fears going to hell and is unsure whether they lived a godly life will experience the content of their focus: hellish conditions. Someone who believes strongly that there is no afterlife, that life just ends and we blink out of existence when we die, will experience that too. They will have no experience of an afterlife.

The good news is, this is temporary. After a time guides will come to assist such people out of their torment and beyond their limiting beliefs.

The point is, it’s not possible to visit a hellscape version of reality off the bat. Unless the explorer already has a lot of thought-momentum about such realities. Thoughts alone can’t buck our existing momentum. And both characters seem to be somewhat positive people.

A gift All That Is inspired 

As you’ve read, there’s no reason for one of our selves to take over another self’s life. Even if it wanted to, which it doesn’t, it can’t. But it sure makes for an engaging show!

Each self enjoys an intimate, visceral experience of every other self. Those selves also are in communication. That’s right, even though we don’t usually have conscious experience of this communication, it’s happening constantly.

In the Positively Focused advanced practices we learn how to hear this communication. With practice and tests, we can come to trust such communication. Indeed, it’s that communication that has me living the life I currently live, free from working for a living and enjoying the spiritual life I enjoy as a spiritual “teacher”.

Thoughts, beliefs and momentum are, in a sense, the basic building blocks of All That Is. We enjoy this reality because of them. But there’s so much more we can explore!

There are many other distortions we can talk about in Dark Matter. But I think it’s more important to enjoy the show for entertainment’s sake while paying attention to any cues one might have urging one to lean in the direction of exploring alternate realities. Those cues are not only important, they can be an immense source of deep, profound satisfaction.

Dark Matter is a gift inspired by All That Is consciousness. It gets a lot right about what’s really going on in the multiverse.
