I almost forgot about this, but I was able to watch as it comes on right before Falling Skies.  We enjoyed the first episode and will definitely be watching this show for the rest of the season. Did anyone else watch it? If you missed it, I think you can watch the episode at the link here. http://www.tntdrama.com/shows/the-last-ship.html http://www.thelastshiptnt.com/

What's the last movie you saw?  Doesn't matter if it was at home or at a theater. Last one I saw was Captain Philips.  I thought it a pretty good movie, especially since it was based on real events.

Star Wars Celebration 2019 is happening next week in Chicago. My guess is we will get the first teaser and title for Episode IV. I would imagine we'll also hear more about the Star Wars shows coming to the Disney streaming service. What Star Wars new are you expecting to hear about? https://www.starwarscelebration.com/
