Friday is a very special day now, somhow do you watch a new episode of Picard? Do you have any rituals or similar, for watching the show?
I don’t mind waiting a day or two before I watch a new episode although I prefer watching on the day of release in case I die before getting a chance to watch it later on.
In the morning, I meditate, go to the gym, have a light lunch (one should never watch Picard on a full stomach) and ensure I’m alone in the house, checking under beds, the sofa and the cloakroom in the hallway.
I ensure the postwoman has been and any Amazon Prime orders have been delivered, so after 2pm is about right.
I brew a pint of tea (Yorkshire tea) and procure a two finger Kit Kat and an orange Kit Kat to consume whilst drinking and watching.
I ready the new episode and engage the subtitles (Many of the American actors have poor diction, mumble their dialogue or get it lost in the background, so it’s a necessity for me at least).
I press play but find I can’t sit still all the way through. I rewind, to watch critical segments again, enjoy a witticism or funny moment or perhaps get up to ‘osmoregulate’ (pint of tea, you see).
Thus it takes me about 60 mins to watch a whole episode.
I tend to watch them again the following week and notice subtleties I missed the first time.
I used to burn incense, ring bells and incant the name of Ishal ma Haq, but it became a bit tiresome and I made up Ishal ma Haq, so I began feeling a bit silly....
Now... your turn......
