While Riley was away celebrating Pascha, Grams watched the short documentary “Religions Around the World - Eastern Orthodox.”

If you’re interested in the origins of the word Pascha, there’s an Orthodox Christianity website that has an article about it.

The Brittanica.com website Easter | Origin, Name, Facts, & Dates has a wealth of information.

We watched the special edition (extended version) of the 1989 James Cameron movie “The Abyss” (the special edition DVD was made in 1993). The special edition is a half hour longer than the theatrical version, so you might want to plan for an intermission.

This movie is rated PG-13, but it has a LOT of swearing.

The breathing fluid is a real thing but not the way it was used in the movie.

We watched “The Hunger Games,” the 2012 movie based on the book series by Suzanne Collins. Wikipedia claims it’s the best movie series ever.

We watched the second episode of series 1 of Doctor Who, “The End of the World.” The Doctor takes Rose into the distant future, and she has a bit of a wobble. But she survives and still wants to travel with the Doctor.

We watched “Nanny McPhee” on DVD. (Hey that rhymes!)

The movie “Nanny McPhee” was released in 2006 (in the U.S.) and was based on the Nurse Matilda books by Christianna Brand. The original Nurse Matilda book was published in 1964, the same year as the “Mary Poppins” movie! “Nanny McPhee” was set in Victorian England in the 1880s; “Mary Poppins” was set in 1910.

We watched the first episode of the first new series of Doctor Who from 2005, “Rose.” Rose is smart and funny, Mickey - not so much - and the Doctor is fantastic!

We watched “Mary Poppins” (the original musical), “Saving Mr. Banks,” and “Mary Poppins Returns.” Emily Blunt was an excellent Mary, but Emily Mortimer was the one Grams was trying to remember. Also, great work, Lin! :)

We watched the tenth episode of Doctor Who, Series 11: “The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos” on Saturday, December 22, 2018.

The season’s over, and the show won’t come back for over a year. Outrageous!
