It blows my mind to think that Matilda is old enough to have genre TV woobies until I remember she's older than my son and he's already a teenager. "Time is a weird soup" and all that.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The Expanse
s6e6 had a nice Firefly style crew-gathered-at-the-dining-table scene.

Our wings are not tired.
I’m in the 5th book of The Expanse now and can’t wait to watch the series. I’ve only seen 3 episodes. It will help me endure when I no longer have any of the novels to read.
Also wondering when we will ever get the next season of Umbrella Academy! I may have to rewatch at this point.

Sometime this year, but they haven't given an exact date yet.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
The Expanse - now I need to back to the beginning and watch it all again. So, much happened!
WoT - just finished a slow re watch, I didn't read the books, but I really was impressed with how much all of the actors conveyed without words.. Some amazing acting there.
I guess I need to watch the Book of Bobba Fett now?

The first three episodes of Peacemaker are out. First of all, BAT-MITE CONFIRMED. Also, I didn’t think it was possible for James Gunn to come up with an even worse Bad Dad than he did in GoTG2, but I was wrong.

I absolutely love the casting. Even if the actors don't look exactly like I pictured the characters in the books they convey them incredibly well. Rosamund Pike and Daniel Henney are amazing, which is to be expected (I love how you can tell every time Moiraine wants to say something that runs afoul of the Three Oaths and has to rephrase it) but the rest of the young cast is really embodying their characters. Even the side characters like Liandrin, Alanna and Logain are fantastic.
Special props to the actor playing Loial, he looks nothing like the character in the books (Ogier are all 8-10 feet tall with long, tufted ears that help convey their emotions) but his speech and mannerisms are so spot-on that I don't really mind.

I haven't seen The Suicide Squad or Peacemaker yet, but my only familiarity with the character is from the first Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle run, so the self-righteous douchebag version of the modern DCU just seems wrong to me. (Though my friend who is more familiar with the 80's version of the comic book character says this version is pretty accurate.)

Same. I might need to re-read my Blue Beetle TPBs.
