Life feels strange today, so I decided to watch some good old The Naked Gun stuff. After that, life will still feel strange but I had a pretty good laugh for about an hour and a half. Leslie Nielsen will always be one of the greatest in comedy!

TV Shows - Bull VI

So, the fourth season of Bull comes to an end, and it's less spectacular than I thought. I'm not sure why, but somehow I was expecting a bigger bang. The second season ends with a severely battered Jason Bull lying in front of the courthouse because, due to his lifestyle, he suffered a heart attack. The end of the third season is a bit exciting but not quite as spectacular, so I thought there would be another big finale, but that wasn't the case.

I don't want to say that the episode was harmless because it absolutely wasn't. Taylor had to endure a lot, and that was already the second, if you count it, maybe even the third episode where a case puts her in the spotlight. No one else on the team has received so many cases and episodes. As always, not a complaint, just an observation.

However, I'm also torn here because one part of me would like to see more of Dr. Jason Bull and his team, while the other part is quite satisfied with these four seasons. Both sides are actually quite balanced, which rarely happens to me.

I'll leave out my usual points here; thanks to the other posts, they should be well known. A new addition is that sometimes I wish they would integrate Izzy and Little Bull (I can't remember the baby's name right now) more. A mix of Papa Bull and the Bull from season one, I'm starting again, would be something exciting.

But otherwise, I really enjoyed the series and liked watching it. A big point is that it's not so long. I don't know, CSI: Las Vegas was somehow intense with its 15 seasons, and since then, I've been a bit scared of such long series. At some point, it feels like a strange burden, and you "have to" keep watching. Of course, I'm only talking about myself, but I still find it strange. On the other hand, you don't have the long search in the streaming services when you want to watch something else or new. That's sometimes even more exhausting and stressful than the mentioned burden.

I'm curious when the last two seasons will become available. I calculated over the weekend that I pay 30€ for streaming services, and that's definitely too much for me. I'd like to cut something there, but I'm not sure what. This is making me wish for a service that has everything, but with all the chaos of licenses here in Europe and Germany, that dream will probably always remain just that, a dream.

At the moment, due to May 4th, Star Wars is still predominant. I've watched the movies and am considering which series I might still watch. I think I'm missing a season of The Mandalorian, and otherwise, I haven't seen anything from Ahsoka, Andor, The Bad Batch, Rebels, and Clone Wars, and I think there are still quite a few series missing, but those are the ones that come to mind right now.

For this reason, I'm not exactly sure what will come next here. I have to admit, Dr. House has been the most fun and has also generated the most resonance. Voyager was also good, but at the moment, I'm lacking a bit of the nerve for it. However, Deep Space Nine would also be due again because especially with all the Star Trek stuff that has come and is coming, I like to refer to DS9 again and again, but I haven't watched it in a long time.

TV Shows - CSI: Las Vegas X

I can now report that I have survived and completed the CSI: Las Vegas rewatch. I haven't watched the two new seasons yet because towards the end, it felt more like an obligation than actual enjoyment. I'll catch up on those when the third season is released.

What can I say? There were highs, there were lows, and in the end, there was even a tear when Nick puts his "solved" sign on his name. I think it's a nice ending because you know what the character will do in the future and feel he's in good hands. Now, one could say that it calls for a spin-off, but I don't think so. Sometimes you just have to let characters, especially such prominent ones like Nick, go.

Found some nice records at a pretty good store in Darmstadt! But I think I'm cursed, because this is my third record of Invisible Touch with some minor scratches that my player can't "ignore". On the other hand, it wasn't that expensive, and Land of Confusion is very good!

On the other hand, listening to In the Ghetto made me realize that I might need a new record player. The pressing is quite good, but I noticed that my turntable, which cost 45€ on Amazon and is nothing special, can't cover the full range of sound. Some parts sound a bit scratchy because of this. However, I don't want to spend too much money on it. I like it when things sound a bit "rough and dirty," as it gives the nostalgic feeling a nice boost, especially with older records.
