If you have CBS All Access^W^W^WParamount Plus, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is everything you liked about old Star Trek plus all the coolness of the newer Treks.
If you have Showtime, The Man Who Fell to Earth is fantastic. Chiwetel Ejiofor deserves all the awards.

Everything Everywhere All At Once is absolutely amazing. We braved going to the theater for the first time since "Parasite" and it was more than worth it.

Marguerite is married to my mother-in-law's cousin. She is even more delightful in person than this 35yo recipes writeup in the NYT describes. We hope to see her and Gary soon.

d.a.r.e. to get your ass out of bed
2/7 '22
Earlier this week, my calf cramped as i was waking up and i couldn't get it to release while remaining in bed, so i got out of bed to stand on that foot and force it to relax. Unfortunately, i declared victory too soon and it kicked back, tipping me to the side and knocking me on my ass, much to Kim's concern, but i was unhurt. By this point, my adrenalin had kicked in hard and, after finally putting an end to the cramp, i was awake and sweating. After that, i headed to the toilet and, as i finished up, i felt quite ill as i felt the adrenalin rush recede. I staggered back to bed and lay there nauseous and shivering, breathing shallowly until the feeling passed.
Anyway, don't do drugs, kids, because the comedown is a doozy.

It feels like aging is discovering which things that you used to do for fun are no longer enjoyable.

I've always really liked him.
But yeah, it's been really sticking in my craw, too. It feels like you're just getting started when it's time to wait for the next season.
Robbb's getting more of the fanservice than I do, but I find that fun as well when I pick up references and in-jokes.
Also, TBH, a lot of TV for me goes in one ear and out the other. I can't remember the particulars of stuff I've seen, almost nothing at all. I joke that my favorite part of any show is its sweet, sweet "previously on" in the beginning. So for myself in particular, I'm very much enjoying how "SNW" is pretty much individual standalone stories every week. Yes, there are character arcs (and we haven't seen the last 3 episodes since we were out of town) and I imagine the show will basically end up being all about Pike and his premonition of death and stuff, but it's nowhere near the complexity that I had a hard time following with "Discovery."
I don't see that we have "The Man Who Fell to Earth" on our cable package right now, but on your rec here I'll put it on my list to watch for when it may come around.
