Round up 23/10/20

 

I have been on a diet for about two months give or take a fortnight. I stopped consuming alcohol on the 1st of September, and I have used a modified slim fast plan for my day to day needs. This has been boosted by a fast on Saturdays eating only after attending Chapel 

There are ructions at work. I was transferred offsite, for last month September. I returned to find the accursed rotation system still ongoing

I am looking for a new Spanish language app- Until I find a suitable free one I will continue using Duolingo

I have been listening to Audiobooks lately in the evenings. I have revisited a few old acquaintances. The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, and Infinity welcomes careful drivers, and Bouncing Back with Alan Partridge 

I have done some Christmas shopping. 

QPR lost their last match, and Celtic did worse

Covid stalks the land again. Despite assurances some wards are now red again

Today in History

 Michael Collins born

The Boys Season 2

 

I think we could have done with a bit more- There were 8 episodes to the previous series 10 

I think I might need to give this series a rewatch

Butcher is less fun when he is Moody. Also I think Homelander is too. I liked watching Homelander try to connect to his son. I thought the fact that the boy, makings Lego videos of the Blind side was a nice touch. Homelander taking his son out in Public was well done too 

Homelander gave into Voght a bit too easily- Why so? 

There are a few freak out moments, the man with the enormous penis. The dead whale, the 

Okay firstly I want to complain about Stormfront. Not the Actress-Ms Cash She did superb work 

But bloody hell, its another Nazi villain. Okay, The problem with Stormfront's plan is that and it is lamp shaded in the series. There are billions of people in the world. Billions. We can see the terrorist groups that gave us the Asian, making their own off brand superheroes Why do we expect the PRC not to be able too? Or the fact that the Boys can take down superheroes, but the SAS /DELTAs Mossad would not be able too? So assuming a race war- What do we expect say the Detroit Police Department and HBU too not be able to pull something out of the mix.

Also I did not buy Homelander as a Racist- I get we have Garth Ennis material to play against- But the being is above all of humanity in his own mind. 

We finally got to meet Lamplighter and his story arc was well done. I also liked the fact that we had A-Train triumphing despite everything. I enjoyed the Church of the Collective as a power in the Boys Universe in it's own right. 

Erin Moriaty is lovely 

I thought they wrapped everything up well at the end. I wonder though if things did not sag in the middle

Hopefully next season will be Homelander unleashed
