Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yeah, I remember that. That was great.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

And now I wonder if the Writer's Room had a Wishlist of cute things they wanted to shoehorn in while they still could.

Started listening to the B99 podcast and it's got me rewatching season 1 episodes. Kinda fun to notice how much of the title sequence bits are taken from the pilot, and specifically from Terry telling Holt about the detectives. It really is a cleverly constructed show, I think the podcast is going to be interesting.

Particularly good B99 this week. I did not expect it to make me cry. I was thinking it was particularly good before that,even

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was really glad that they nailed the ending.

Yes.

I'm choosing to believe that all the Claires were a reference to Fleabag

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OMG yes!

They'd better wrap up the Jake/Amy storyline soon though, because wow is Melissa Fumero very pregnant.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (it's a Comedy, right?): if I didn't already love Mo, "either way it's trouble, says so right in the song" would have gotten me there

Our wings are not tired.

I have been enjoying Zoey quite a lot. So many developing story lines, plus music, and dancing!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm also watching Zoey. More for the songs than the stories. Any show that can dig up "The Great Pretender," never mind using it as a springboard for an entire episode, gets my attention.
