What did you watch?

 Hey, thanks for asking!
 Another absolutely terrible episode of the new Law & Order. I don’t know
why the DVR won’t let me cancel the recording of it. A celebrity chef gets
murdered and they try the wrong guy and realize he must be innocent without
having any idea who the real killer is so they tell the judge to cancel the
trial and let the guy go and then as he’s walking away, the DA has a
literal lightbulb go off over his head, and suddenly knows for no possible
reason they Told us who the real killer is and they arrest her. With no
evidence at all. And it stops dead right there.
 

You liked the episode a lot more than I did!
I was about ready to throw something at the TV during the trial scene when the defense had a monitor set up and proceeded to show images that the DA had never seen before.  So why exactly did the DA think there was a TV in the court room for?  Why didn't the DA object *before* he started to show the images?  And once the surprise pictures were shown, why did the judge let them in?  We just got the pictures last night is not a reason!  And we just got them the night before doesn't mean the pictures aren't fake!

The NCIS 1000 behind the scenes special. It was way more interesting than
the actual episode.
 In the background I watched some NCIS episodes I never seen and some CSI
Horatio reruns. The streamers are really ugly for trying to watch the
stuff.
  

I watched:
Star Trek Discovery (Paramount+) - "Face the Strange" - As the crew continues what will be a season long race against time to find the McGuffin device before the two villains, Burnham is stuck in a time distortion field that causes her and two others to be unstuck in time on board the Discovery.  Pretty good bottle episode and excuse to bring back people from previous seasons.  I especially liked the clash between old and current Burnham.  The two of them really didn't get along at all.  :-)
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (theatrical) New World War II movie written and directed by Guy Ritchie based on true events.  The movie stars Superman (Henry Cavill) and Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) as two men recruited by the British government (Ian Fleming and "M" played by Cary Elwes) to recruit a team of Inglourious Basterds to hunt and kill Nazis as part of a plan to disrupt Nazi U-boat operations in the Atlantic.  If you don't like Nazis and want to watch a movie where Nazis are gleefully slaughtered left and right, then this is the movie for you.  I absolutely need to pair this movie with Inglourious Basterds which would feel almost like a sequel.  They are in the Killin' Nazi business and business is a boomin!
