I just figured out that the reason I don't have the attention span for hardly any TV but I can read is that when my mind wanders during a show I just miss whatever happened, even with being able to rewind a bit I fall out of my audience state or something, while just realizing that I have no idea what the last paragraph said and reading it again doesn't disrupt me at all...30 minutes is more likely to be doable than an hour, though, for sure
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Are you watching Station Eleven, sumi? Other Buffistas? A Twitter mutual recommended it to me today. I might check it out and was wondering what you all think of it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Not watching it yet, but plan to. Really enjoyed the book. Trying to coordinate viewing with friends.

I am finding myself strangely reluctant to watch it. I don't think I have a reason for that. I know I was also strangely reluctant to read the book but I did end up liking it when I got around to it. Maybe this is just some weird mental block that doesn't come up very much. Or maybe it's the pandemic. Dunno.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I think if I'd watched Station Eleven in 2018 I'd have loved it. Right now, it's really really good, but OOF. Pandemic.

Station Eleven
We ended up watching the first five episodes on either Christmas night or the next day. I can't remember. It really is an OOF, Jess. The latest episodes 1.6 and 1.7, * especially, really hit me hard. I think because I watched them yesterday, knowing Omicron doing its damndest to cripple our healthcare system. And I guess none of this is a spoiler, but I'm just going to let the spoiler font stay. * I was surprised HBO released two episodes in one week.
Also, is this the right thread for this (as opposed to the streaming thread)?

If anyone's up for a round of housekeeping on the board, we could probably combine these threads - the only real difference at this point is that HBO's been around longer than cord-cutting, right?

I just started watching it. I have to admit that right now what I can handle right now are British gardening & home makeover shows so I’m kind of behind on most shows.
