What's happening to me?!
Apr. 6th, 2019 08:01 amSo, after watching Star Trek: Discovery last night, I had a little look around Netflix for inspiration and came across The Defenders. Now, I loved Jessica Jones and loved Luke Cage in that (although I haven't watched his separate series) and... suddenly I'd watched the first two episodes and had been amused by some of the lines ('My friends call me Foggy' - 'and you let them?') and was frustrated by the ending of said second episode. But I resisted the urge to watch another episode because it was getting late.
Seems I'm a secret superhero fan - who knew?
There's also a mural of The Umbrella Academy on a wall in town and I am secretly rather pleased with myself for knowing what it is :D
I've added the LOTR films to my list, since I'm currently reading the book, but at 3 hours each they're such a commitment. I think I'll have to watch them in sections!
In other news, it looks like our Hillsborough vigil is going ahead. I did get really nervous because I didn't know if there was ANYTHING going on but the Cathedral are doing a service in the afternoon, so I feel better about it. Theirs is timed to coincide with the timing of the actual event, whereas ours will be in the evening.
Duckenfield is likely to face a retrial after the jury couldn't reach a verdict. I am confused by this because I believe I 'know all the facts' but I don't know how the evidence has been presented. And it must have been so hard for the jury to be objective. They'll have heard and seen all the things I've heard and seen but had to try to put that aside and weigh up just the evidence. What I think, however, I won't write down. I am so nervous that I could in some way jeopardise the trial. It seems incredibly unlikely - and potentially egotistical! - but I don't want to run ANY risk.
The person who was Secretary of Sheffield Wednesday at the time, however, has been found guilty of failing to discharge his duty under the Health and Safety Act. And the other trials continue.
I have a day out to Lancaster for work on Monday, so there's that to look forward to.
And the weekend holds cooking, cleaning and gaming - not necessarily in that order!
