Two more episodes after this one.  Speaking of Captain Jack clones, it would have been interesting if that was Captain Jack (perhaps recast) instead.  Although I guess that wouldn't have worked with the way the episode ended.
I watched:
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (4K disc) Slowly working my way through another Sony Classics box set, and working my way through some Sidney Poitier movies, I kicked it off this this 1967 drama starring Poitier as a young man who meets his fiancé's parents (Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy in his final role).  The movie was mostly background noise with a pretty good commentary track full of lots of trivia I didn't know.  For example the actress who played the fiancé was Hepburn's real life niece.  And while others were probably well aware of this, I think this was the first I realized (also thanks to the commentary track) the family maid was played by Isabel Sanford (from the Jeffersons).
The Watchers (theatrical) New horror movie written and directed by Ishana Night Shyamalan (her father M Night Shyamalan's also produced) based on a novel.  The movie stars Dakota Fanning as a young woman who gets stranded in the middle of a forest where she finds a cabin in the woods with three other people inside.  She is told every night she must stand in front of a large two-way mirror so the mysterious creatures outside can watch her.  She must also follow the "rules" and escape is impossible because the forest won't let them, and the creatures will kill them if they are out after dark.  I guess it was OK.
