I watched both seasons last year and really got into it. Can’t wait for the next season - I think it’s out later this month?

The Big River Watch with links to download the apps.
Me too! 😆
Edit: Nevermind. The Empty Man is only on Apple and Fubo and I don’t subscribe to those, nor do I want to.
I watched it on Amazon Prime recently if that’s any use. (Just checked, it’s still available to rent or buy).
Well I for one welcome our new fungoid overlords…
Doesn’t look particularly chilling to me. Just looks like a regular person!
Odd. Works for me.
I know right? I’m just posting this for it’s entertainment value 😁 Maybe I should’ve posted it in ‘And Finally…’!
The last bit of the article (written by David Clarke I think) is pretty level-headed:-
"So should we all immediately drop what we’re doing and head to the hills?
Perhaps not just yet. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and it remains the case that senior US ‘whistleblowers’ have been making similar allegations for decades but never managed to back them up with proof, asking us instead to believe their incredible stories based on trust in their credibility.
When pressed to produce evidence for their fabulous stories they often fall back on security oaths that prevent them from telling us what they know – or threats from the ‘Men In Black’.
Elizondo, who certainly doesn’t back his claims with definitive evidence, has already been proven to be unreliable – he is on record as promising that official disclosure about the existence of UFOs was imminent way back in 2018.
In Britain, Nick Pope, who worked for the MoD’s UFO desk for three years, broke ranks in 1996 to proclaim that ‘extraterrestrial spacecraft are visiting Earth and that something should be done about it urgently’. Much like Elizondo, Pope claimed to have seen evidence in then secret files that convinced him that something bizarre, and potentially hostile, was visiting us.
But when in 2008 the MoD began to release those files, the ‘evidence’ was conspicuous by its absence.
Critics have noted that for a man who should know he has a struggle on his hands to be taken seriously, Elizondo hardly does his credibility any favours when he admits to some deeply weird beliefs that sometimes veer into the supernatural.
As well as his mention of the ominous floating green balls that he claims appeared on and off for seven years, he describes working telepathically with colleagues in so-called ‘group remote viewing’ to disturb the dreams of a terrorist thousands of miles away.
He also alludes to the idea that aliens are possibly angels or demons visiting Earth, and claims his former boss at the Defence Intelligence Agency – who he does not name – believed UFOs didn’t need further investigation as they were ‘obviously’ the work of the Devil.
Sceptic Mick West, who specialises in analysis of UFO videos, told the Mail that Elizondo’s bizarre anecdotes ‘suggests that he really believes a wide variety of unusual things that deeply involve a supernatural interpretation of reality not yet based on any verifiable facts’.
So are those who stalk the corridors of power – even in the West’s most powerful defence and intelligence agencies – just as prone as the man in the street to being gullible about flying saucers and little green men?
Without concrete proof – the ‘smoking gun’ that remains elusive in the UFO world – it seems that might well be the case.
After all, even Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, who led the RAF to victory in the Battle of Britain, believed in fairies and insisted that UFOs came from Mars and Venus. It looks like we can wait a little longer before we press the ‘Invasion Earth’ panic button."

From what I’ve read of and by him, he’s more into the extra-dimensional/ultraterrestrial hypothesis, like Keel and Vallee. His new book looks interesting.
Got it on my Wish List! 👍
Meddling Kids was an enjoyable romp! I’ll go check out What the Hell Did I Just Read.
And very few folk like the old.
I know you need another…
The people inciting race riots deserve everything they get.
Rare? Or will it become the ‘new normal’?!
Totally loved Hill House. Spookiest thing I’d seen in years.
Loved Midnight Mass too.
