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!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Well, Faye Valentine is more clothed than she might have been, given the original material. So that's promising. The actors for the main cast look good. No sign of Ed? But there's a corgi, so I'm assuming they'll show up. It's fun to play "Oh, yeah, that episode" with the secondary characters.

Only Murders in the Building

I didn't like some of the early episodes, mostly because Martin Short's character was so irritating, but the last two episodes have been very impressive.

Oh, good to know, I was wanting to get someone's opinion on that after seeing ads

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'm enjoying it a great deal.

We have a stupidly-younger-but-unmentioned romantic interest for one of the men, but when don't we?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Yeah, I thought they did really good job with Faye's costume; it clearly references the original while being far more practical. Of course the neckbeards are being unsurprisingly neckbeardy about it.

I don't think we're going to see Ed in Season 1 at all. The showrunner said they'll get to her eventually, but there's been no casting information for the role. I'm sure at least we part of it was the delay from COVID and then Cho getting injured. Anyone who they would have cast likely would have aged out of the role in the time it took to finally finish filming.

The person that surprised me most to see in the credits was Perot Le Fou. He's just so bizarre that it will be interesting to see how they translate him into live action. But we're definitely getting him, as well as some version of Asteroid Blues, Stray Dog Strut, Ballad of Fallen Angels, the Teddy Bomber and the family of eco-terrorists.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I want to SCREAM ALL DAY about the latest Ted Lasso (this is where we discuss it, yeah?)

Happy scream or angry scream or something else?

Our wings are not tired.

Seriously my friends, I know you told me I needed Ted Lasso in my life, but it is even more delightful than I anticipated. I am only on episode 4 and I am enthralled. So much love.
