(1713) Evening all.

 

17. Sigh … DEI (2142)

For some strange reason, not as weary at this time of evening as usual … even seeing Steve posting at NOWP. There was an exchange with this narrowboat gal on X who, if not psychic, certainly feels changes to the atmosphere:

There is that feeling about and it’s been a weird day, from structural mini-calamities in our abode to zero really new political things to report on, to going into X this evening and the timeline being flooded by people seemingly losing their minds … just as Yuri B predicted in the mid-80s.

Think it was compounded by massed, paid-for, bussed-in protesters which even “our” side seemed to think needed covering … I just clicked out. What I was doing instead was checking out possible films and even some Van der Valk … there were two possibles but then I thought I might check out the very late episodes before Thames lost its contract … in fact the last episode of all.

It certainly showed far more of Amsterdam, the plot was more complex, the cast varied, the issue of water barriers and corruption in high places was prescient … however but but but and it was a big but, a deal breaker … they had someone brought in to work with VderV, which was all right in itself by me … I knew, despite the spelling of the first name, they were trying to disguise it … that it would be a young woman … that much DEI I can handle if she’s good, plus it fits to a point.

So I kept watching this movie length finale until the supergirl would appear. When she did, I clicked straight out … she was not even half Dutch nor Euro in the least and a Dutch senior officer would have been in February, 1992. She simply did not fit, was quite miscast … full-on miscast.

It was not unlike if, say, they were making a film about Joe Louis … you’d not expect Bruce Lee nor Riley Gaines in the role, however well those two might play characters within their own fields. You’d not cast me as Snow White.

Yet that’s what they were starting to do … the politics was intruding far more … it had deep left overtones which were sickening, they made it unwatchable in 2025, given the current state of the west.
