Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

About Good Omens, I will say I was charmed by and 100% invested in Gabriel and Beelzebub, and if you’d asked me before S2 if I could feel that way, I would have snorted in disbelief. So well done there.

The show also reminded me how much I hate the story of Job, so I’m willing to replace the Bible version with the Good Omens version entirely.

Also, David Tennant and Michael Sheen are unbelievably good at making me feel ALL THE EMOTIONS. Gentlemen, what gave you the right.

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

I’m a little embarrassed at how long it took me to realize who was playing the part of Job.

I didn’t even notice he was someone I should recognize until you said that. Huh.

I just looked him up and I still have no idea who he is.

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

Peter Davison played the Fifth Doctor, after Tom Baker. He is also David Tennant's father-in-law. Also, the oldest of Job's children was played by Ty Tennant, David's son.

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

Steph, he is Peter Davison, a.k.a. Tristan Farnon from All Creatures Great and Small. Also the 5th incarnation of Dr Who. Also-also, David Tennant's father-in-law.

Oh, that's pretty cool!

Well, season 2 of Joe Pickett has wrapped up.

There were several difficult painful interwoven storylines. I was actually disappointed that they all had fairly happy endings. It was all a little too pat.

The locations they filmed in were again stunningly magnificent.

They did throw in a disturbing twist right at the very end. If it forms the basis for season 3, that's going to be the continuation of a painful storyline from season 1. But I'll still watch it. The scenery and the impressive acting by the cast so far makes up for the problems I had with the storytelling.

ST:SNW did a musical episode.

I have mixed feelings, will have to mull them over for a while.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is anyone watching American Born Chinese? Is it appropriate for an 8 year old?

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.

Ahsoka was decent. I'm not really digging Ahsoka the character we've gotten in live action so far. I realize she's older and been through a lot, but I really miss the spunk she had in The Clone Wars and Rebels.

It took awhile to warm up to this version of Hera, but I'm all in after the ship chase scene with her and Chopper.

Interestingly they've really reduced the vocal effects on Chopper's dialogue to the point he's almost completely intelligible.

I'm very curious about our two Darksiders. Skoll seems to have a love/hate relationship with the Jedi order and his apprentice is wearing a Padawan braid.
