These wave attacks are similar to World War One tactics,
It's horrible that these things are happening again.

Rewatching the Amy-Leigh Hickman episodes of You season four, which if I remember correctly means that I can skip some of part one, but that in part two it really kicks off.
Episode 4x01 has a nice scene introducing Nadia. Episode 4x02 has several scenes including her doing the explaining thing. Yes, Nadia is very much like Ellie with regard to her place in the story.

Episodes 4x09 and 10 are where the Nadia situation gets really intense. If you want a quick rewatch of Amy-Leigh Hickman in You, episodes 8 to 10 of season four are it, the same as for a quick rewatch of Jenna Ortega in You season two, you'd also do episodes 8 to 10. Though I would recommend the whole part 2 (episodes 6 to 10) here.
It's clear to me (or my imagination) that this Nadia storyline in part 2 was intended as an Ellie storyline until Jenna Ortega was not available, stuck in Romania doing Wednesday. Amy-Leigh Hickman is the only actress I'd trust to take over such a big thing and she does so amazingly.

Saw Midsommar on Netflix. It's not quite a traditional horror film despite some gruesome scenes, but it relies more on what people do and why rather than on shocks. It doesn't really convince me because that 'why' aspect is not clear enough and because some of the themes I had already seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes. It didn't help that Netflix didn't have English subtitles, including on the Swedish dialogue, and that the beginning of the film was filmed so dark that I still don't know what happened.
Some reviews I read afterwards mention some more troubling aspects of the story and they could be right. Some also mention the film being way too brightly lit and that's totally not the film I saw.

It's weird but a lot of great actresses had really great films around that age already:
- As mentioned Natalie Portman was 12 during filming Léon
- Jodie Foster was 12 in Taxi Driver and got an Oscar nomination; the lesser known but maybe even better performance in The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane was in the same year
- Chloë Grace Moretz was also 12 in Let Me In where she did a very complicated character very touchingly
- Ivana Baquero carried Pan's Labyrinth at 11
- Dafne Keen was 11 when she drove everybody in Logan to up their game
- Alexa Nisenson was 11 when she put in a multilayered performance in Fear The Walking Dead. That's a tv series, but her performance is on a par with the above
Obviously they've done (or will do) great stuff later too and some like Chloë and Jodie did even earlier, but these are all goosebump performances.

@Matti Järvinen There must be, but I can't remember one...
There's an episode where the person investigating pretended to get poisoned to out the killer, but that wasn't tea.
I felt I underutilized Dove in season 1--she was amazing, but deserved more. So we gave her a much bigger part in season 2--more songs, a much meatier character, and she delivered IN SPADES. I cannot wait for you to see her chair-ography in "Kaput"! @DoveCameron #Schmigadoon
Another random KY-TV line from the archives of my memory: they did a pretend bit of a commercial tv station where the 'still to come' bit was its own thing, resulting in the announcer saying 'Still to come, still to come. But first, still to come.'
Decades later I'm still laughing about that one.
It was a fictitious new commercial tv station, owned by Sir Kenneth Yellowhammer. They said they tried to call the station SKY-TV, but that turned out to be already taken.

Watching Jessie Buckley in Men. I don't see many films in the cinema, most only when they come out on streaming, but by that time the buzz and the marketing has gone and you're not reminded of it. So that's why I only see this one from last year now.
I've seen Jessie earlier in the tv (mini) series Taboo, War and Peace, The Woman in White and The Last Post, where she always impresses. Especially maybe Taboo.
An A24 film, available on Amazon Prime.

It started off so normal, like a nice stroll through the English countryside.
I like how films can be different like this, using all the tools in the box to tell their thing, without constraints of expectations.
On a side note, it struck me that she did nothing wrong: leaving unhealthy situations, drawing lines. To the extreme the film has her always make the wise choice. Except maybe the one thing that she went to the countryside to deal with her grief.
Jessie Buckley is amazing in this film.

The Waffle House is also great. It's just so random.

US people: Jenna Ortega is hosting Saturday Night Live tonight!
In trying to find out whether I could see it in Europe (answer: no), I found that Jenna's appearance on Fallon (The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon) is repeated today and tomorrow on CNBC Europe (one of her two visits). So set your recorders! (Yes, I'm old. Yes, I have a recorder and have set it.)
I also found that old seasons of SNL eventually end up on HBO Max, so I've already set my alert on Jenna's episode.

What I do like about the BBC though, is that you can go to the BBC news site and get a fair overview of the incredible mess the BBC is in at the moment and how they are mishandling things.
I think the problems started a few years ago, when the policy was introduced that BBC employees were not allowed to voice their own opinions on their own social media. Some incidents have happened since that didn't get the attention it gets now. But I guess the major presenter of a major show (and a white man) being fired for running foul of the policy finally has everybody up in arms. I'm glad to see other presenters pulling out of their respective shows in solidarity.
The opinion in this case was as I understand that the government's asylum policy is cruel. Which it is.
Part two of the fourth season of You is now available on Netflix. Also, I have no volleyball to go to this evening. These two events nicely combine.
Amy-Leigh Hickman was already great in part one, I have high expectations for part two...
