Artemis splashdown tonight is at 8:07 Eastern and there is something about that specific time being locked in for days that makes it feel like an appointment worth keeping. Parachutes open first. Then the capsule hits the water. The math behind all of it has been done and checked and trusted by people who know what they are doing.

When was the last time something made you stop and gather around to experience it in real time with other people? Not catch it later. Not see the clip. The actual moment, as it happens. Chris Hadfield told CKLW what goes wrong if the reentry angle is off: the capsule either bounces back into space or it doesn't make it through. The people who calculated the right angle did it with math and tonight we find out together whether it held. That specific experience, of finding out together, is rarer than it used to be.

The Four Nations Cup. The 2010 Golden Goal. Election night. Tonight adds to that list.

Tonight We're Gathering Around the Radio. When Did We Stop Doing That?

Federal by-election Monday has three ridings up and Terrebonne is the one nobody is calling easy. Supporting Liberals there has historically been like wearing a Leafs jersey at the Bell Centre. Andrew Caddell is on the ground in Montreal at the Liberal policy convention and says the ground is telling him 10 to 1000 votes. He is calling 500 for the Liberals.

Picture being in that room when Justin Trudeau's video plays. Three minutes. Ten years as leader. Prime minister. The applause when it ended was described as deathly by the people who were there. Wayne Easter told Andrew Caddell directly that without removing Trudeau the party would probably not have party status today. Four thousand five hundred people filled the convention centre, half of them for the first time in their lives. The man at the centre of all of it wears blue suits and blue ties and is being quietly described as a progressive conservative. That is the party asking for a majority government on Monday.

The Blanchet and Plamondon have staked their careers on Terrebonne. They have been there almost every day. Monday is not a formality for everyone.

NEW - Justin Trudeau Got Three Minutes and Deathly Applause at His Own Party's Convention

Stories you absolutely did not need to know are arriving twenty minutes before Artemis splashdown and they are exactly the right warm-up. A small bird with a giant needle beak is filling Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan every single day. New Yorkers are showing up on purpose. The bird meeps.

The North American Woodcock is grapefruit-sized, has been the subject of internet memes for decades, and the males meep before flying high and erratically into the night sky to attract a mate. This is a documented strategy. The Blue Jays sold 77 cent hot dogs to mark their 1977 inaugural season and moved 102,202 of them before the game was over. Gen Z calls hot dogs glizzies. Engineering students in Squamish painted a hollow Volkswagen Beetle with a Canadian flag, put a letter E on the roof, and hoisted it onto a cliff face called the Pooh Poohs. They have done this kind of thing before. It does not always stay up.

Tonight it is all leading to Artemis. That is the actual programme.

SHIFTHEADS: New York Is Losing Its Mind Over a Grapefruit-Sized Bird. We Need to Talk About This

Your weekend streaming options just got a verdict. The Boys is going out swinging. Malcolm in the Middle came back. Darth Maul has eight episodes and a cliffhanger, and Steve Stebbing is not here to tell you they're all worth watching.

Three shows, three very different verdicts. One is ending everything it built and doing it without a safety net, nobody safe from dying. One came back and, according to Steve, maybe didn't need to. And one gave Darth Maul a forest, a mission, and eight animated episodes that end on a cliffhanger with Wagner Moura's voice along for the ride.

Next time a beloved show announces a revival, the question worth asking is whether it has something new to say or just familiar faces to put back on screen. That question lands very differently depending on which show you pick this weekend.

Topics: weekend streaming picks, The Boys Season 5, Malcolm in the Middle revival, Star Wars Maul Shadow Lord, Disney Plus, Prime Video
