    What's the point in making a movie or TV series with the same name but totally different from the book? It's just cashing in on the reputation of the writer or his work.

    So, the writer is to blame because he/she has to agree with the movie script, right?

    Btw. Is a movie not always different from the book, the book is interpreted by your minds fantasy while the movie let's no room to fantasize ...

    I'm sort of a Star Trek fan. The recent offerings have been lackluster at best. Picard was unnecessary (to be kind), Star Trek Strange New Worlds was a little better, had much of the original Star Trek feel, but it doesn't really seem to know what it wants to do with itself. Discovery was the biggest disappointment. I found the first two seasons unwatchable. But they managed to right the ship and the last two seasons, particularly the one now ongoing, have been quite entertaining.

    What Discovery concerns is it for me the other way around, 1st 2 seasons ok but then the woke S$%t went into the extreme ... Hope season 5 will be better again.

    Cold Case Investigators: Solving Britain’s Sex Crimes

     

    A remarkable new series, which follows major crime unit detectives as they reopen cold cases using new DNA technology.

     

    We see some of their successes in catching and convicting perpetrators for crimes as far back as 1983, in what are both monumental and frustrating feats – as shown when one man, who was raped in a park when he was a teenager, doesn’t know how to react to the news.

    The priests are shaking ...

    I spoke to a pharmacist and received some information regarding Melatonin, which explains why it's no longer available for online purchase. While it hasn't become illegal, its status has changed. In Thailand, Melatonin is no longer considered a supplement but rather a medicine, so it can only be bought from a pharmacy.

     

    This change makes sense since medicines typically cannot be ordered online; they must be obtained from a pharmacist. This shift benefits pharmaceutical companies, allowing them to increase prices for Melatonin products that were once inexpensive. Therefore, if you want Melatonin, you'll need to purchase it from a pharmacy.

    My farmacist says that you can buy only Thai brand melotonin, max 2mg strenght.

    I've watched the entirety of 3 Body. Thought the scenes of the Cultural Revolution quite good. Unfortunately, there is the rest of the series. Yes, they're casting for diversity. And somehow they've managed to find almost an entire cast that can't act, including Rosalind Chao. Terribly dull. Seems written to appeal to teenagers, with angst ridden "deep thoughts" being passed out in bars and bedroom conversations. This is what a 15 year old thinks is serious and important. Usually dark and gloomy photography that passes for "art" these days. And the conversations consist of growls, mumbling, and grunts. Can't hear vast passages. Need subtitles for the English.

    Thx for your opinion. I am not p

    Thx for your opinion. No plans to watch it. Have seen the orignal Chinese 30 eps version and I like it very much. Not want my memory distorted by this HollyRock crap ...
