*We note the dramatic beats & Natural cadence in his dialogue mixed with his quirky charisma)

*Was ventriloquist comedian Otto Petersen the best at doing impressions of Nicholson?

We get to sum up our favorite quotes, character studies, battles & recurring mysteries on the spin-off Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

In this Minisode, I reflect on a special kind of spy/mystery show you might'be encountered on Masterpiece Theater:

THE BLETCHLEY CIRCLE.

The premise involves some British code-breakers who must track down unusual serial killings during the '50s. Is it going to appeal to those who want some first-class TV or only the cozy viewing crowd? Find out in this quick reflection on one of the many recent small-screen hits.

In this re-edit, I had the podcasting duo the Asher Brothers on to discuss our favorite moments of the TV classic NYPD Blue.

Why do so many people take the show out of context and not get the blunt discussion on getting over one's bigotry?

What thrilling and dramatic moments perfectly reveal societal imperfections?

And which characters had some of the best plot arcs in TV history?
