Wait, I have a subscription to WaPo but I did not know they had puzzles...
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Mostly crossword, but also sudoku and some other puzzles.

Our wings are not tired.
The WaPo Hurdle is like Wordle on steroids. I do all the NYT dailies except the big crossword. I'm getting really good at the letter box, but I still suck at Connections. I am working on the archive to try and get my brain better at those. Spelling Bee I just do 10 words and go on because there are only so many hours in a day.
That said, we have to wait a year for more Nobody Wants This. Sad face. Mostly I watch shows that have multiple seasons in the can to avoid this issue.
eta: More seasons will result in more depth with the characters other than Joanne and Noah, which I want, a lot. I love Sasha and am still on the fence with Morgan.

"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
My issues with the show were mainly that
1) Noah is so keen to become wunderkind head rabbi of a congregation that includes his parents and domineering sister-in-law, who are clearly not going to respect him enough to take guidance in matters spiritual or communal and will undermine him at every turn, and
2) Noah took a girlfriend he was trying to hide to a camp where he was known as "Hot Rabbi," thus ensuring that gossip about it would travel back to his congregation at the speed of light.
Bell and Brody do have great chemistry though.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My favorite comment I read about the show — on Tumblr, of course — was "I haven’t shipped straight white people this hard in a long time."
HA. There is definitely a loophole for 00's Xennial nostalgia working in their favor on that.

That is the damn truth.

Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld is more or less a Buffy clone. I wanted to like it more than I did. The early episodes at least have too much cringe humor, and not enough ass-kicking.
I am enjoying Black Doves, even though the plot is absurd almost to the point of camp. (Also, episode 4 LDBed me!) Keira Knightley especially is playing it straight enough to make it all work.

Is anyone watching Cross? I kinda want to for Aldis Hodge but James Patterson really isn’t my cup of tea

We watched it. Aldis Hodge is great. The show is meh.

Ah well. I’ll keep it in reserve in case I’m in the mood for that.
