Let’s talk about that wild ‘Westworld’ finale and why I never got around to blogging it.
You can now watch some Netflix shows offline, making that long flight or that visit to Grandma’s house a little more bearable.
Let’s ease back into this work week by talking about ‘Gilmore Girls’ and vampires instead of doing any real work.
Good morning and welcome back! While you were good and didn’t go online over the holiday, I was busy catching up with American Horror Story (“Chapter 9” and “Chapter 10”) and The Walking Dead (“Service” and “Go Getters”), in case you want to avoid doing any real work this morning.

Fellow citizens & compatriots –
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna—I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man—I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch—The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country—Victory or Death.
Lt. Col. William Barret Travis

Wyatt questions dropping into Nazi territory and blindly bumbling into a tavern that may or may not harbor Allied resistance – with a black guy.
More ‘Game of Thrones’ spoilers that have us so angry that it is not summer 2017 already.
How about we spend the day looking at Halloween costumes instead of thinking about the election.
Let’s spend our sugar hangover looking at Halloween costumes:

Is a date that holds no meaning for Lucy. Which is unfortunate, because that’s when Luka is. After several hours of sciencing, Jiya finds him. It turns out the “negative mass energy” that’s so inconvenient to loose papers has a signature that can be tracked. She puts the Heart of Gold somewhere in the desert within a 50-mile radius of Las Vegas.
Lucy provides the why for the where. She says President Kennedy was in Las Vegas on that date for a DNC fundraiser at the Sands Hotel. Sinatra was the headliner and the room was full of politicians, celebrities, and waste management consultants. Any or all of them could be a target.
The Time Trio suit up and board the Omni. And I kind of love how analog the controls are, with the pushing of buttons and flipping of switches to initiate the launch sequence. It makes the craft feel solid and real in a way that a bank of sleek flat touch screens wouldn’t. The pod’s interior also reminds me of the Millennium Falcon’s cockpit, which I’m sure is no accident.
