Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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 was really glad that they nailed the ending.

Yes.

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

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

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.

They've got a fun assortment of songs. I'm not so sure about the plots, but that's okay.

They seem to have at least one plot per character. It looked from previews that Zoey is going to confide in Max about her new ability. I'd like to see that happen. For only a handful of episodes and taking time for all the delightful music, they have quite a number of interpersonal dynamics going on there. This is the first show in a while I have watched that is a week by week thing. I've only done marathon viewing for ages.
