waider_geeks_feedWe wrapped Voyager season four tonight. Another tantalising
"short cut home" followed by "oh wait, we're only half-way through
the series, we can't possibly head home yet."

for which I owe him a belated thank you as this is an
excellent piece of work. It does, however, contain much
of the same problematic background as last night's fare: you just
know that the dramatised, fictional goings-on are just
scratching the surface of what goes on in reality. Still, we
really enjoyed this, including the lovely
probably-should-have-seen-it-coming twist at the end. Chekov's
Cockroach, anyone?
Of course, the problem with a movie like this is the same problem as a con movie: you never trust anything. Was the threatening, and then deceased shooter planted by one or other sides? How come they mentioned that they had no info on who he was, but noone pursued it further?

was kinda depressing in as much as Joe Wilson's character is
utterly unsympathetic and the actual villains get away with
everything and all that stirring speech about fighting
for the Republic at the end is such rubbish from this vantage
point. So it's hard to actually enjoy this movie.

Jan. 14th, 2026 11:59 pmwaider_geeks_feedDoing a bit of ebook tinkering and now I have something that
tells me how much progress I've made in the current Kindle book,
at least for some formats. At some point I'll wire this up to
Calibre. I understand the reason it doesn't already do this is
something vaguely related to proprietary file formats and their
fragile / unpredictable nature, but since this is for Me Me Me I'm
ok with a little flakiness here and there.
DVD ripping project has not yet resumed progress since before the break. I'll get back to it this weekend, maybe.
