Star Wars Youtuber gives detailed response to my question

My question was in response to a previous video in which he ascribed weird motives to people who enjoyed "The Acolyte" series.

Diana Muldaur


I am always astonished at the passage of time.

Diana Muldaur played three different characters on Star Trek.  Right now I am watching an episode of the original series, Return to Tomorrow, where she is referred to as a young woman.  She was 29.5 when the episode aired.  I remember seeing this episode a very long time ago.

Twenty years later when she played in the second season of Star Trek The Next Generation, she was 50.  Her character, Doctor Pulaski, was interesting but the character had mixed reactions from the fans.  She was not invited back for the third season.

She stopped acting in 1993.   But she has come out of retirement to play in an upcoming film called Finding Hannah.  She is 86.

Time has a way of speaking up on all of us.

The Story of Chunk the Groundhog. Narrated by Gardener Jeff.

Been watching this guy occasionally on YouTube for years. There are only so many videos of groundhogs I can find entertaining, but it is cute.

The guy fortified his garden but started putting out vegetables for the groundhogs so that he could record them for his YouTube channel.

A long time ago my father advised to never feed wild animals. You make them dependent. Animals know how to find food. However, I'm more worried about rabies, which is a deadly disease and especially common among raccoons. I've saw a video of a kind old lady feeding a bunch of raccoons. This can be dangerous.
