The "Despecialized" editions are the best right now. I appreciate what Lucas wanted to do in the 90s but I wish he'd just left the originals alone.

 

Spent a few hours digging through my tub of pieces and managed to find almost all the right parts for this set. Some adjustments were necessary to accommodate replacement parts and there is some recoloring going on, but I think it just makes it look battle-worn.

I haven't seen Slow Horses, but Dept Q was phenomenal. Reminded me of Luther with a bit of Broadchurch.

Starter Villain might also scratch that itch for you, but to be honest, I'm just a big Scalzi fan. Kaiju Preservation Society and When the Moon Hits Your Eye were a lot of fun too.

Might not be an exact fit, but maybe Old Man's War by John Scalzi. It's not a mystery per se, but there is definitely an element of "what's actually going on here" for the main character to sort out.

Are you thinking her Bond movie, The World is Not Enough? I don't think she was cast because of her ability to accurately portray a scientist...

That's exactly what I'm hoping for

Lol, the lawn only looks so nice because it's not in focus. It's actually pretty patchy right there.

It's just a store brand from Lowe's. Honestly I didn't know nozzles were such a thing until this post.

Thanks, it's a great watch. Nixon Heat A1320. Simple, digital, not smart. I love it.

 

My cheap plastic sprayer was leaking from the part that rotates to adjust the spray, so I replaced it with this metal on with fewer moving parts and frills.
