Did I just get inadvertently sucked into old time TV watching?

I'm always so far behind in everything, I figured I'd be fine. So I started watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds a week or so ago thinking it was a long way away from catching up. Well, I just reached the end of season 2 only to be greeted with To Be Continued. What the hell? I should have seen it coming when there was so much left to wrap up and only three minutes left. I've become so spoiled for binge watching, i just figured I'd click Next Episode.

AAAAARRRRGHHH!!!

There are several current or recent series that ended on a cliffhanger, and To Be Continued is just another variation.

A couple of series I've like were cancelled with a lot of loose ends hanging.

That's disappointment on disappointment.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

I thought you were going to say The Waltons.

Ah, yes. the English language. I guess I should have clarified. Old-time (TV) watching versus Old time TV (watching).

We have very happily been diving into The Rockford Files since it's been in twice-a-night reruns on "GetTV" the last few months. Even if we're not going to watch the full episode we try to catch the opening answering machine message and theme music.

James Garner was pretty close to the epitome of cool.
