Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I saw his name in the credits and got all excite...

He's a damn monster.

And they keep naming him Rupert.

I am watching Ted Lasso right now, AIFG.

It's my favorite new show, and perhaps in my top 3 ever.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Lasso is so awesome. I’m rationing episodes.

What gods do I need to make a sacrifice to to make sure that doesn't suck?

I appreciate the attempts to stay true to the original credits but this just looks cheesy. (And Vicious looks like an emo Viserys from GoT.) I'm really hoping the show itself works better than the credits do because oof.

Is it meant to be a series or a one-off?

My understanding is it's a series and they don't intend to follow the anime exactly.

ETA: Though with Netflix's track record I'll be surprised if we get more than two seasons even if it's good.

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

What gods do I need to make a sacrifice to to make sure that doesn't suck?

For Sandman, I would not recommend this tactic as it will almost certainly backfire (in a narratively satisfying way, but still).

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

Not gonna lie, every time there is a new piece of news or image or trailer or whatever for Sandman I brace myself, thinking "is this where it all goes wrong?" and so far it has all been better than I would have dreamed possible if I had allowed myself to dream about it

Very similar to how I felt when Peter Jackson was making LOTR except I had some very specific requirements for that (which I am happy to say were met) and I am much vaguer about Sandman

Cowboy Bebop I have no prior attachment to so I can just enjoy looking at it. That is very enjoyable!
