Did I See That?

Sunday morning show . . . a panel show, aimed at adults. And the ads are running.

This one was for a copier. So they're running stacks of copies, passing them out in a conference, more stacks, passing them out here and there, and the final stack is shaking hands, grey suit and brown suit, etc. etc. (all business men, but different ones on each sheet) . . .

Except there was a single one with Chewbacca's paw clasping an elegant woman's hand with a bracelet.

And more suits and men's hands.

I'm not sure whether that odd hairy paw and female hand was simply to wake up the viewers, or perhaps it was some kind of counterculture message? Buried in the middle of the standard commercial?

Did I really see that? Or am I imagining things? And what does it mean?

Chiritotechin 3/17-22

This was the next-to-the-last week (3/24-29 will be the last week!), and I'm afraid it was kind of floppy.

I think the writers were trying to do some short bits and fill time, maybe tie up a few loose ends, before we do whatever the grand finale is. So we had fun, a bit of comic confrontation between the writer and the uncle, more talk, another comic scene, a bit of set up, and a swerve into the last performance in the old house, which was the big scene for the week.
( more details . . . )

Now, Saturday was great. Part of what I really appreciated was the interlaced grinding of the chopsticks, with no voice, just action. But . . . most of the other scenes this week were fun, but didn't really move things forward? My wife kept asking me, "Are they still filling time?"

Well - on to the last week, and we'll see what the finale is. Apparently we're going to build a practice hall for Osaka.

Stay tuned. One more week.
