So Here’s a Thought That Wouldn’t Leave My Head:

Posted on November 17, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Is “Sex Education” Just “Glee” on Steroids? This thought was especially prominent during the song numbers. (Ignore that Spanish overdub of dialog, I couldn’t find a clean song on the YouTube English channels.) And this one, from Maeve’s mother’s funeral: … Continue reading →

Those Who Can, Do; Those Who Cannot, Teach

Posted on November 10, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Sex Education (2019-2023) Yet another suggestion from Susan’s family: this Netflix series would have completely flown under my radar, mainly because its themes are so adolescent. But, like Firefly Lane, some 50-year-olds are looking ‘fondly’ on their high school years, … Continue reading →

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) We tried watching the new Netflix show “The Fall of the House of Usher” last night. We got through 30 minutes of the first episode, and then we shut it … Continue reading →

One Scene Took Me Back to My High School Years

Posted on September 22, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Firefly Lane (2021 – 2023) We have been watching this Netflix series for the past week or so. We are almost done our marathon viewing. As an emotional roller-coaster, it has been a hard slog, for me personally. But it … Continue reading →

Another Penny Finally Dropped:

Posted on July 25, 2023 by cdsmiller17

When Art Imitates Reality (MH 370 and Manifest) Sometimes, something obvious can be sitting right in front of me and I don’t see it immediately. Yesterday, the Forensic Astrology team of Ellie Adams and Brandy Burrow posted two YouTube videos … Continue reading →

Close the (Eleven Year) Loop and Save the World, Too

Posted on July 20, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Manifest (Season 4, Part 2b) Or, as Cal said, “It’s all connected!” And so it is… *SPOILER ALERT!* This is so much like the shows “Lost” and “Timeless”. I suspect it’s what we all crave: a do-over.

The Name of the Game is Hidden Meaning

Posted on July 19, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Manifest (2018 – 2023) This is my next-to-last post about Manifest, the series that’s showing on Netflix. There are no spoiler alerts here, since I want to concentrate on the meanings behind the characters’ names. Names as Religious Symbols in … Continue reading →

What’s in a Name? By Accident or Design?

Posted on July 19, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Manifest (Season 4, Part 2a) Way back at the beginning of Manifest, I wondered about some of the characters’ names. Most were obvious, but one of them made me ponder its meaning. I’d never heard of the Goddess Lakshmi before, … Continue reading →

Tearjerker: This Dog Met the 5 O’clock Train for 9 Years

Posted on April 23, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Hachi: A Dog’s Tale (2009) I should have known better: with BeBe’s current state of health (and mind), this little film was going to break my heart. I blubbered a lot of tears. In October 2009, Christopher Lloyd of the Sarasota … Continue reading →
