Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

WWDITS: Guillermo's first pride parade! And Laszlo got to go to the beach!

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

I was really worried about Laszlo wading in the ocean and losing his magic sunblock. I don't know where they are going with Guillermo's sort-of-turning and I don't know what I want to happen, but that smile when he decided he was going to enjoy himself in the parade was pretty great

The Bear: I went ahead and watched both seasons over the weekend and while season 2 was indeed pretty life-affirming or whatever I'm gonna need another season stat to clear up pretty much everything right at the end

The little baby wings! So cute!

That took me a minute to understand what I was looking at.

I seem to be pretty invested in Guillermo *not* becoming a vampire. I guess I don't think it will make him happy? I am wondering if his Van Helsing heritage as something to do with the weirdness

I was wondering that, too.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That seems to be the general consensus. If it were just a matter of a doofus vampire improperly turning someone, Baron Afarnas would have heard of it happening before now. Hell, he'd probably have witnessed it firsthand—Nadja, Laslo, and Nandor were his minions.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Good Omens season 2 is off to a good start.

I am resisting the temptation to binge-watch.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Neil has asked that, in order to get the viewership numbers up, even if you aren't going to binge, you let your device binge without you in these first few days because that's what Amazon cares about.

My empty living room overnight has seen the whole season. I will be holding off till I'm on Mat Leave.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I've seen it all and I have many thoughts and feelings! Would love to discuss it here once more folks have watched the whole season.
