Watched "Good Eats: The Return" The House That Dripped Chocolate from Food Network | SlingTV

A cook (Alton Brown) buys an old candy cookbook only to discover that it's cursed. Every time he makes a treat, the tricks get weirder ... not to mention more painful.

Recipes on the episode include:
* Pistachio "Butterfingers" 
* Peppermint patties

The method for making Butterfinger-like candy was pretty cool, though it appears to be a lot of work.
Watched The 2020 Vice Presidential Debate | Special Coverage & Analysis from PBS NewsHour

The first and only vice presidential debate of the 2020 election kicks off Wednesday, October 7 in Salt Lake City, where incumbent Vice President Mike Pence meets Sen. Kamala Harris.

The 90-minute debate will consist of nine 10-minute segments. Special coverage and analysis continues after the debate with NewsHour anchor and managing editor Judy Woodruff.

My takeaway from tonight’s debate with regard to Pence and the current administration: “Your time is up.”

Watched "Hinterland" Episode #2.2 from Netflix
Directed by Julian Jones. A solicitor is found murdered. There is hostility in the community towards Daniel Protheroe. Mathias needs to find him before the vigilantes. Mathias knows that the relationship between the daughter of the gang's leader and Daniel is key.
The pace of this show is sometimes unbearably slow. I’m sure it’s a cultural thing between American TV and Welsh/British TV. I’ve been remedying it by watching on mobile at 1.25x. Sadly this functionality doesn’t seem to exist on any of my other apps or TV modalities yet.
Watched The Glorias (2020) from Amazon Prime
Directed by Julie Taymor. With Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Janelle Monáe, Ryan Kiera Armstrong. The story of feminist icon Gloria Steinem's itinerant childhood's influence on her life as a writer, activist and organizer for women's rights worldwide.

Rating: ★★★½
An interesting contrast with the smaller presentation of her in similar contexts in the recent FX 10 part series Ms. America. The narrative construct of the bus ride with the Glorias at different ages was interesting though a bit forced at times. 
 
I was a bit shocked to have said, “That seems like a younger Bette Middler” only to be surprised to discover that it actually was her in the credits. These sorts of performances always make me so happy.
Watched Enola Holmes (2020) from Netflix
Directed by Harry Bradbeer. With Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin, Helena Bonham Carter. When Enola Holmes-Sherlock's teen sister-discovers her mother missing, she sets off to find her, becoming a super-sleuth in her own right as she outwits her famous brother and unravels a dangerous conspiracy around a mysterious young Lord.

Rating: ★★★★

A bit facile in places, but generally well done and well executed. It’s nice to see some better representation showing up in the Sherlock Holmes oeuvre. 

Watched "The West Wing" Talking Points from Netflix
Directed by Richard Schiff. The president and staff are about to head for Brussels to sign an international free trade deal that Josh has just spent a lot of time and effort negotiating, to nearly everyone's satisfaction; at the 11th hour, the CEO of an IBM-like company tells Josh that the first effect of the new agreement, of which his company is a huge beneficiary, will be the immediate transfer of 17,000 programming jobs...
