Numb3rs

 Numb3rs

  • had interesting dialogue in the police procedural
    • "common sense to not wave stick in front of crocodile" (Ash's Totodile biting Ash on the head - it's on my social media accounts - should help you remember)
    • calculating stopping distance from mass and velocity (Charlie described as math problem while I thought it was physics problem too) from the train crash episode ("36 hours")
    • was talking about script writing software which one of the leads, Rob Morrow, has been working on ("Where's Credit Due")


For "36 Hours", I pointed out a train crash did happen in real life in California - Metrolink crash in 2008 in September.  Airing an episode about a train crash when a train crash happened in real life is probably not good idea, so the episode was pushed several episodes later.  One of the actors did film a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode. 

I wished my mom who passed away understood trains - like Amtrak - have long stopping distance.  Heavier items going at certain is going to have longer stopping distance.  Trains weigh more than cars and trucks and reportedly take a mile to stop.

About Pokemon

Pokemon  is a billion-dollar kids' franchise ($92 to $94 billion)  is the highest grossing franchise in the world had 25 seasons is currently in 26th season - Pokemon Horizons has 1164 Pokemon Totodile is a favorite  of mine because Ash's Totodile liked to dance.  I even have the Totodile plush and trading cards featuring the Johto's water starter.  I am an older fan.  I posted a lot of Totodile pictures on Instagram and Facebook. The theme songs I didn't like for Pokemon were Pokemon Advanced Pokemon Battle Frontier Pokemon Battle Dimension (TV version) Pokemon Black and White Pokemon Journeys the Series Pokemon Masters Journeys Most of the theme songs I disliked were after 4Kids got replaced as the production company.   I tended to scroll past Team Rocket trio's motto.

Rewatch of "Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon"

 I first watched The Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon  special in 2006 and hated the voices. Yesterday, I rewatched the special, and these are my impressions I can tolerate most of the changes in voice cast except May's because I been watching the newer episodes with the newer cast for some reason, May's voice change bugged me the plot was interesting the special was dark the death of a Pokemon, Mew the assumed death of Dr. Yung I kind of wish Corphish had some dialogue
