I think I get some sort of demerit for my first thought on reading this was "Mad Men?"
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
In your defense, it is kind of wild that there are two of them in relatively close pop culture proximity.

I appreciate the benefit of the doubt
I don't have a sense of how far AppleTV can be trusted. I think all I've watched has been Ted Lasso and Severance. Those were both better than they really had any right to be, is that the expectation to have?

Silo isn't perfect but it was interesting. Same with For All Mankind.

I haven’t watched Silo because all I remember from reading Wool is that I was mad at it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I watched all of The Morning Show in the last couple months and was really surprised at how good it is. It's got substance.

Dang, I just canceled Apple TV last month! Guess I’ll have to sign up again when this happens

That's been my experience too - their shows aren't GREAT most of the time, but they've got a solid track record of putting out shows that are PRETTY GOOD.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I always thought of MurderBot as a Brienne or Bobbie Draper sort of physical presence, even if it's actually genderless.
Yeah, Frankie Adams [link] would have been my choice, too.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yeah, this will get me to sign up for Apple TV+. Might watch Ted Lasso while I’m there.
