I loved it, bonkers though it was. So many unanswered questions though. And was that villain brought back in that way just so they could make a joke that the whole British end of the internet has been making for weeks?
I can't rule that out. I confess that I did laugh out loud at it.
Cheery daughter just alerted me to the fact that Netflix has a non-animated version of Cells at Work, showing in Oz currently. Cheery son and I have loved the animated versions, so think we will give this a go. There is also Cells at work black, which I might watch by myself, as perhaps a bit too close to home for Cheery son.

I watched the "human done" version yesterday, it was great, but it actually turned out that it was a film not a series, and it appears I mixed up what Cheery daughter was telling me. Interestingly the bit that made me tear up was different to the part that impacted her, so that was interesting.
If anyone else watches it, I'd be keen to know what you think
Last night, Mrs. Gramps and I started watching "The Rise and Fall of the Vikings" on the National Geographic channel. I believe it must have been a British production based on the accents of the commentators. We watched to the discovery of how they traded for glass beads from possibly India but ended up recording the rest of the series. Learned quite a bit, looking forward to seeing the rest of it.
I have also heard "Walking with Dinosaurs" is a great series. Next on our watch list.
Last night, I watched Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny a part of the American Masters program through PBS. It talked about how Ms Arendt, as a young Jewish correspondent was tasked with documenting how the Nazi regime started to propagandize against the Jewish community in Germany. She eventually escaped to Paris and then Marseille where she booked passage to the United States. She wrote a book, The Origins of Tyranny, on what she learned. Of note, she attended the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem and wrote for The New Yorker about how the Nazis actually used Jewish Community leaders to determine who would go to the death camps. Many Jews turned against her because of this observation. She lived on into the Vietnam War era and pointed out how the Johnson and Nixon administrations were using propaganda much like the Nazis.
One thing she liked about the United States was the consent of the people to the ideals of the Constitution.
I cannot help but wonder what she would think of the Trump administration.
There’s a new one as well I need to see. We loved the whole series from the early 2000s—Walking with Dinosaurs, with Creatures, with Sea Monsters—there were some silly things in the Early Man one (suggesting earlier hominids didn’t have the same emotional levels that dogs or cats, much less other primates, have, struck me as very odd). But overall they were great.
I often watch an episode of Law and Order in the late afternoon, and for months its featured Sam Waterston, an excellent actor. But today I flicked it on and lo, here was the radiant Vincent D'Onofrio, a mesmerising actor. So maybe we have a few months of the radiant one. He is well weird.
Sorry for the double post, the edit time closed before I remembered to add good thing Q comes with English subtitles on Netflix. Hard to follow the Scottish accent.

My initial take on Dept Q was: "what would happen if Dr House was English and solving crimes in Edinburgh". I enjoyed the series but the geography was certainly... interesting. It's like they bumped Arran or maybe Bute to the other side of the country. It also flummoxed me that the subtitles said Mhor (i.e. Vor) but everyone pronounced the island name as Mòr. Either way it just means "big" which is a strange name for an island.
