A rare distraction with Galaxy Quest.

This is a personal vent I need to share. Since Vickie passed I have been uninterested in watching anything in the comedy realm. I have paused on an sitcom episode now and then but lost the humor I once saw. I find humor is still in me regarding posts here but it has no relationship to my grief.
My escape is usually something in the sci-fi/adventure realm. Tonight I was in the mood and scanned some channels before going to Prime or Netflix and saw Galaxy Quest was just starting on the Comet channel so being many years I rewatched it. I had forgotten how ridiculous wacky fun it was and enjoyed seeing it again. It would have been much more enjoyable to have shared it with Vickie but I had her in heart as I did. We both shared enjoyment watching things that were escapes from reality. On the other side she new and watched and every true crime reality show and their channel in existence.
I had a different kind of screen time evening and it brought some inner peace.

I'm sorry for your loss, and how its grief has robbed you of life's joys. That's to be expected for some time yet.

Galaxy Quest has become a favorite of mine over years.
With just enough plotline to give you a sense of a mission, and an escape for 2hrs.
It's a pleasant go-to.

The signitaure comedy of Tim Allen, and his band of earth amateurs, trying to wrangle a real starship and the perils of intergalactic battle is good fun.

Comedy, A Knight's Tale - with Heath Ledger may also deliver the same kind of escape, depending what you're looking for.
