  • The last ship. I loved it in the beginning. It started out as high quality drama/mystery. It had some issues but was overall really good. Or at least the concept was good enough to overlook issues. But then the issues backed up like a toilet. It got to the point where you’re groaning multiple times an episode and the sparkle of the concept dies. I can’t remember how far I got into the series, but it was somewhere early in season three. And I don’t remember TOO much from it as I feel like I’ve blocked out most of it.

    They even brought in Tania Raymonde who I absolutely love, and I just couldn’t. I hated how lazy and dumb the writing turned and how quickly it happened. It should have been more of an exploratory show than action/drama. Like, it should have been about trying to find peoples and encounter new groups to vaccinate, and less about having all these big bads. Yeah some small time bad guys should be there time to time, but it should have been more like the first Star Trek series and less like the walking dead. “God damnit, that guy again?”

    And it was so inconsistent. Just about everyone is dead! Society is over! Wait, society is still there in pockets. Nah, some places were basically unscathed. It basically became an action/mystery soap opera. Create as much drama as humanly possible, and make the viewer feel like they’re constant victims that somehow overcome everything because they’re badasses, then immediately become victims again.

    It was absolute trash, and it could have been the most epic adventure show ever. If I had the reigns, I’d have made it stay hard to find civilization. There would be groups and areas that are better at surviving, and have smart solutions to things. But it would be rare. It’d use that same setting, but the feel would be more like Star Trek/fallout-the comedy. The end of the final episode would have the ship struggling with a skeleton crew finally succumbing to a really big storm and sinking. Then it would switch to a view of the earth spinning with a timelapse. The night side would be dark for a long time, 4-8 years or so. Then you see lights again somewhere. And it stays maybe a small area for a while but it picks back up exponentially as they share knowledge/vaccine, and you see society start to reestablish itself, making the ships mission having ultimately successful.

    Dude, I’ve been so confused and bored with nothing to do that Ive considered some kind of electro-magnetic anomaly. My electrical system is old as shit. But I have it rigged to high powered modern electronics. Eventually I gave up on it and figured it’s probably something mundane and gave up on figuring it out or honestly caring. It’s one fork. Big deal. Honestly at this point if it’s kids in the matrix trying to communicate with me, that’d be great lol. But I probably just didn’t notice I smashed it in the drawer.



  • I get my kid on the weekend but that was a week night. Haven’t had guests over in a few weeks. Nothing else missing or messed with. No,no, and no.

    I’m leaning into the drawer one, that it just got smashed in there somehow and I didn’t notice, but they’re significant forks, not cheap crap or anything.
