Crystal skulls are a real thing, and there has been a lot of questions about how they were created. It only makes sense that numerous storytellers would come up with the idea that they were made by aliens.

What time, I hear you say? Time to sign up for this season's Survivor pool. YAAAAAAAAAY! All info is on the tracker, but please ask any questions you might have.
This tracker does not involve stamps in any way - it's just for fun. (I usually get a question about that.)

Yea! Can you pick my people?! I'm so bad at it. I've tried picking people I like, people I hate, people I think others may like or hate, people that look like they'd be really good and people that I think would be really bad. I've even done a random number generator to take all those options out of the mix. All of these strategies have been pretty equally unsuccessful. Ugh.
I know your answer will be no... but you really couldn't do worse for me than I can for myself! ;)

Did anyone else watch this show the other night? I thought it was interesting, and it had some LOST-like qualities. Of course, that may not be a good thing, considering LOST's crappy ending. 😁😁

I enjoyed "Lost", even with the disappointing (as in let-down) of an ending. The interesting ending (what happened on the island, afterwards with Hurley) was on the DVD. I wanted it to be broadcast.
Anyway, "Manifest" has mystery. The producer (I think it was him quotes) said that it will still be interesting even after the mystery is revealed. The article I read said it is a cross between "Lost" and "This Is Us".

Murphy Brown

I think that they captured the old magic, of the "Old Murphy". (You'll understand when you see it.)
About half way through, they skewered Hillary Clinton (using the actual Hillary Clinton), but then they returned to their usual Left Lean. I did really enjoy how much they skewered Hillary Clinton though. It was as enjoyable (and as thorough) as when they skewered Donald Trump in "The X-Files" episode "The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat".

If the jokes aren't good enough to stand on their own, the laugh track just emphasizes it.
They've done it to several of the British comedies too.
Very distracting.
I find it interesting that the same laugh sequence is repeatedly used.
The fade out of laughter is unnatural.
"Manifest" and Weeping Angel
Board: Television: After the Show Ends
Oct 15, 2018 8:06pm
***SPOILERS***
Just three minutes into tonight's episode of "Manifest" and one of the passengers from flight 828 has seen a Weeping Angel.
Okay, it is certainly not a Weeping Angel, but it looked just like one to me. It will be interesting to see (as the episode progresses) just what it was that she saw.
Okay, 17 minutes in and the "statue" is an angel, with wings.

Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House
Board: Television: After the Show Ends
Oct 21, 2018 9:13am
The story of Nell, Luke and Theo have been told for decades. Decades. And various versions of this gothic haunted Victorian home laden with ghosts and statues have been told with some of best actors in the business, from Vincent Price to Liam Neeson--albeit, the 1999 version with Neesom was crap-yeah, I said it, but facts are facts, folks.
Considered one of the best literary ghost stories published during the 20th century, The Haunting of Hill House was originally published in 1959 by Shirley Jackson. 69 years later Ms. Jackson's story is still haunting the screen and scaring America.
We live on the edge of the property and never stay after sundown. The family in the home is alone…in the night…in the dark. (Ms. Dudley)
Taking the original characters from the novel, Netflix has now created it's own version television version of The Haunting of Hill House. This new version, created and directed by Mike Flagan, is rich in detail, extremely layered with unnerving corner of the eye material, and leaves it's audience unbalanced-almost in every shot.
I have only finished two episodes of this 10 episode "season" and already I am doubting the wisdom of watching it at night . . . in the dark. Last night, as I huddled in my blanket, mulling over this series and fearing the monster under the bed, the shadow man in the corner and boogey man out my sliding glass door, my cat thought it was wise to come out of nowhere and stick her face into my mine without warning. Startled, I almost swung.
This version's premise is as followed: Shifting between the past and present day you learn siblings Nell, Luke, Theo, Shirley, and Steven came to live in Hill House as their parents purchased it to "Flip It" so they could finally buy "The Dream House". But one night Steven, the eldest child, is abruptly woken up in the middle of this night, by his AGAIN fully dressed father and tells him that they have to make a "run for it". Then locking the door, you hear something coming towards the door and see "it" trying to open the door. The father then tells Steven that no matter he hears, don't open his eyes. Soon the two are being chased out of the home, where the other children are waiting for them in the family station wagon. All the children are screaming, demanding their mother and their father does not answer. In the present day, you see haunting fall out of their experience living there, hating their father, dealing with Nell's mental health, Luke's drug addiction and their own personal, private issues and demons.
Nellie's in the Red Room!
And the clock reads 3:03 am.
Having said enough, and only basing these Kitty Paws on the first two episodes:
Two Kitty Paws for the actor/actresses. Everyone excels in their roles, especially young Nell, and the casting of the adult daughters who all in some way resemble their mother, actress Carla Gugino, really pulls it all together.
One Kitty Paw for it's unnerving eye candy. Is that a ghost in the corner or just my imagination???? REWIND!
One Kitty Paw for it's fresh and original approach to a ghost story that literally has been over and over again and giving it a true modern day spin.
One Kitty Paw because it draws you in, bit by bit.
One Kitty Paw for because for the good, decent and non-cheap jumps. (And if you don't get startled at least once, you are not watching it right.)
And One Kitty Paw for the Easter Eggs. You gotta be paying attention and know who is who.
This is 7 Kitty Paws. My highest rating. And I could go on! Why is the Dad always fully dressed, even in the middle of the night? What's moving in the Red Room? What happened in 1948, the last time the house had staff living in it????
But if this is not enough to convince you to check it out, then perhaps this will: last night, just minutes after we finished the second episode, my 15 yo son walked passed and I let out a simple, little innocent hiccup. He in turn did a double half pike turn and stuck the landing because it startled him. And the lights were on, folks.
For scary story novices, watch it with the lights on.
For scary story masters and enthusiasts, bring a blanket.
