A 'How the Universe Works' rerun about dark matter and dark energy. Basically we haven't got a clue what either one actually is.
 

Sure we do.  They are the signs of a technologically advanced civilization that's beyond our understanding.  Either that or what's left after Galactus eats a solar system.  One or the other, I'm sure. ;-)
I watched:
Chucky (SyFy) - "Death Becomes Her" - Season 3 resumes with episode 5. Chucky is still on death's door thanks to being inflicted with Christianity and is slowly withering away.  But he decides to go out with a bang.  There was a nice moment when Chucky was watching TV, flipping through the channels and watching all the other "doll" horror movies and riffing on them especially M3gan.
Chucky's comments are NSFW

Law & Order - "Family Ties" - I already forgot what happened! I know it had something to do with a congressman and that's it.
Star Trek: Discovery (Paramount+) - "Jinaal" - This was mostly a filler episode as team Disco visit Trill for their quest to find the magic alien device.
Civil War (theatrical) New war movie written and directed by Alex Garland.  The movie is set in the near future where the United States is at the end of a brutal civil war.  The plot follows 4 journalist as the make their way from New York to D.C. for what they hope will be an interview with the President.  I went in not knowing what to expect other than it was getting great reviews.  I was taken aback by just how intense this movie is.  It's like the opening of Saving Private Ryan mixed with the opening Farm House scene in Inglorious Basterds or pretty much any Tarantino flick where you are on the edge of your seat waiting to see who will die.  This is almost non stop action and when the action does stop, then it becomes an edge of your seat thriller.  I think this movie probably gave me PTSD!  I also noticed, and I almost never notice this, but the sound mix on this movie is one of the best I've ever heard in a theater.  This movie is definitely one for the theater, in the biggest screen with the best sound possible.
