Alias #1.1 to #2.9 (2001-2) [/] TV action/spy series. Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) is a field agent for a secret branch of the CIA… until she finds out she’s actually working for SD6, a criminal organization. She turns herself over to the CIA who use her as a double agent and her only support is her handler Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan) and her father Jack (Victor Garber), who is also in SD6 as a CIA double agent… I have fond memories of watching this series but on re-watch it’s a bit dated. I’ve been going through the motions watching s2 so I guess it’s time to stop this trip down memory lane.

Who is Erin Carter? $1.1/#1.2 (2023) [-] UK drama/action series on Netflix. Erin Carter (Evan Ahmad) and her daughter Harper (Indica Watson) are hiding out living in Spain when Erin’s former crew finds out where she lives now. Can she keep living as a substitute teacher with a normal boyfriend or will she be forced to do violence (or one last heist, I didn’t get that far to find out)? The first two episodes were very uninteresting.

Real Science Adventures - The Nicodemus Job (2019) [/] Set in Constantinople 1095 CE. A group of rogues are going to do a complicated heist in order to frame a corrupt official. New characters so we get their backgrounds as the main story progresses. I liked the non-modern-day-heist aspect and because the characters have backgrounds they’re somewhat interesting. The story is complete though the end sets up a sequel that has yet to appear.

Gourmet House, Fremont [/] Chinese restaurant. Perfectly fine food. They have dim sum though we were there for dinner. Beef chow fun was good. Steamed fish I didn't like the fish. Salt and pepper fish (fried fish nuggets) was good. Would come again.
