I know! I just watched the first ep, and it's very hard not to mainline them.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, I feel like I should at least make an effort to do something else between episodes...we'll see how that goes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm six episodes in, and the show's still got it, and mainlining is the way to go, honestly, because the whole story is so dense and callback-y. I'm having a little trouble keeping track of the whole timeline, so it's good to have all the connections so fresh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fuck! I was wondering what I was going to watch today! I'm so glad I caught up on this thread, because I forgot it was the 26th today.
Must behave and also listen to the online course I'd promised myself to, but...whoo!

Just finished! I feel like I need a wiki to put together what the hell just happened.

That was totally a cameo by Dan Harmon, wasn't it?
(I feel like we should whitefont here, but it could also go in Premium where it wouldn't--does that make sense?)

YES IT WAS!
I guess technically Netflix would be Premium, but it feels weird not to talk about AD in here. Maybe follow movie rules? Whitefont for two weeks?

Oh, yeah, I hadn't really thought about it, but yeah.
But it's so Comedy with a capital C, it should be here! But I'm only halfway through and don't want to dodge spoilers. But will I avoid reading discussion wherever it happens? Unlikely.
I was actually kind of underwhelmed by the first episode, but it's certainly accumulating nicely. I find that I am already looking forward to the commentary tracks where I hope to find out what decisions were to make production easier/possible, I suspect that will be extremely interesting.

That's what I told Juliana yesterday--the first new ep was kind of weak, but since then it has gotten a lot better, and did so pretty quickly.
I am about half way through, but I may need to finish it today before I fall into the work rabbit hole
What ep was Harmon in?
