Dr. Wong: Why didn’t you want to come here?

Pickle Rick: Because I don’t respect therapy, because I’m a scientist. Because I invent, transform, create, and destroy for a living, and when I don’t like something about the world, I change it. And I don’t think going to a rented office in a strip mall to listen to some agent of averageness explain which words mean which feelings has ever helped anyone do anything. I think it’s helped a lot of people get comfortable and stop panicking, which is a state of mind we value in the animals we eat, but not something I want for myself. I’m not a cow. I’m a pickle. When I feel like it. So… you asked.

From “Rick and Morty” episode “Pickle Rick”. There is a Dr. Wong reply, but that’s for another day 😅.

Kid and I have been rewatching “Rick and Morty” (★★★★★) , starting at season 1, because it has been a while, and because it will allow us to enjoy the show the longest. If you have never seeing it, I recommend. It is adult animation, so, be warned.

The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come.

Attributed to Confucious, the quote above was paraphrased on the “Perfect Crown” (★★★☆☆) , a Korean series Horsie is forcing me to see. The translated caption on a text written in Seoye by the monarch on the series reads “In times of peace, do not forget danger, in times of prosperity, do not forget ruin, in times of order, do not forget chaos”. Indeed.

Now that we have re-subscribed to Hulu, we have restarted watching the ever awesome “Futurama” (★★★★★) , now on season 13. I am going to assume you know what “Futurama” is, but if you don’t, please look for it, and watch it. You will be thankful.

I took the first, and most likely only, plunge into the Black Friday shopping frenzy we all have been conditioned to each year. Last year’s was Hulu, this year is Disney+ plus Hulu. All and all it costs us $5.65 a month. That’s $4.99 for the actual service, plus taxes, federal, and local communications fees.

Can’t wait for the next season of “Alien: Earth”, even though we have now cancelled Hulu. Who knows, maybe by the time the next season comes out, Hulu would had had another “Black Friday” special. I am OK paying $1.12/month—or ≤ $5/month—for it, but not $11.99/month.

We have renewed Hulu now, which this time comes with Disney+. It is setting us back $5.65/month, which isn’t too bad, but $0.65 more than what I wanted to pay.

“Alien: Earth” just got a few notches more interesting last night. Now we wait until next week. I have to acknowledge; even though bingeing is nice, the anticipation of waiting to see what’s next can’t be beaten.

We have been watching “Alien: Earth” (★★★★☆) on Hulu and, though it is an ongoing series, I can safely rate it. I like it! Quite entertaining, offering a completely different plot twist to the “Alien” movies.

I have been watching “The Bear” with the kid (★★★★☆) . As you can see, I am liking it quite much, though at the very beginning I had serious doubts. The only reason I stuck with it was/is I am watching it with the kid. Patience and bonding paid off, alright. If it is included on wherever you get your streaming from, I recommend it. From the first episodes one of my favourite quotes:

“You’re watching the fire and you’re thinking, ‘If I don’t do anything, this place will burn down and all my anxiety will go away with it.’”

I empathise with that one so very much. It’s just, being inactive in cases like this is something I haven’t been able to do. But I digress. Watch it!
