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

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."

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

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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?
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.

Yeah, this will get me to sign up for Apple TV+. Might watch Ted Lasso while I’m there.

Definitely worth it to binge Ted Lasso if you get the channel!
I just re-read Best of All Possible Worlds and am shocked that when I went on AO3 there is zero fanfic. Like, I get that it is in itself rather fanfic-y, but I still might’ve thought there’d be a couple of things?

I really want ART to be played by David Hewlett.
I do not think I will get my wish!

Interestingly talking to a friend who just started reading the Murderbot books, I let her know they’re doing tv adaptation and she was shocked Murderbot wouldn’t be played by a woman. I thought that was funny since that wasn’t at all my assumption (though the casting maybe isn’t what I’d expect either)

I can see that.
I had a complete and total mental block about who could possibly be cast to play Murderbot. Just refused to think about it. I'm ok with Skarsgard, though, at least until I can see it on screen. Then I will judge.
