What is even happening?

Watchmen, on the other hand, was awesome.

It really was. My only complaint is that it ended. That ending is * ANGELA'S ORIGIN STORY, * so I really want what comes next.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yes, I was extremely disappointed in the new showrunners of AG making that move. Anansi is a long-haul character, and you have the perfect vehicle for a spin-off with Anansi Boys. It really can't help but seem inherently racist.

Hey. New board.

I liked the idea I read that Watchmen Season 2 would focus on Nite Owl with Laurie as a major character, and Angela heroism mostly taking a background role.

Barry is ... weird. It's a weird show.

Is anyone planning to check out Lovecraft Country on HBO tonight?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ooh, I didn't realize it was starting so soon. I'll have to check my hbo access status, I think I had some kind of free offer that might still be in effect...

Nope, I'm going to have to catch up on it later if I finally throw over Showtime in favor of HBO.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm going to try to convince TCG to add it into the mix.

Boy, I was not expecting to hear the theme from The Jeffersons on Lovecraft Country!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

So, we finished Lovecraft Country over the weekend. The finale was kinda anti-climactic...but the season was quite good, if falling into many of the genre frustrations ("Have you people considered talking to each other? PLEASE?").

Not sure how I feel about S2...I kinda hope they don't bring in another couple guys, but I'm sure they will.
