I finally caught up with Severance. I thought it was good! Don't have a lot of complicated thoughts I guess. But I did laugh out loud when iMark accidentally shot Drummond in the neck
Also, Gwendolyn Christie continues to be amazing.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I still only know Severance through gifs on Tumblr. And while I never figured out what the goats were about, I was like, okay, the show has goats; I accept that. But now there's a marching band? That's legitimately more baffling than the goats, and it might be what gets me to actually watch the show. (From the start, I mean; I wouldn't just watch the S2 finale, because that would be crazy. Although my introduction to Farscape was the last 4 episodes of season 3, which in retrospect was a pretty fucked up way to start that show.)

Steph, my first Farscape episode was Green-Eyed Monster, which makes almost no sense without the backstory. So I get it!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My second Buffy episode was Superstar. I win. (My first was Fear, Itself but since I started during a break the reruns weren't in order.)

My first (and only) episode of Game of Thrones was "The Rains of Castamere."

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.
My first Buffy episode was Once More with Feeling at a convention. I then started watching wherever FX was in their reruns at the time (middle of Season 5, maybe?). I think I also jumped into wherever they were in Season 6 on broadcast. I know I for sure watched Season 7 live.

IIRC, Victor and Thessaly's first episode of Buffy was The Zeppo, which totally confused them. I honestly don't remember what my first episode was. I think my first episode may have been Tabula Rasa, and I thought Giles and Anya were a cute couple.

Am I the only one still watching Wheel of Time? I think it has steadily improved since the first season and really hoping they get picked up for more. I feel like the showrunners are doing a great job of modernizing the characters/relationships (OMG, so many conversations happening in this show to resolve things that would have dragged on forever in the books because no one seemed capable of talking to one another) and leaning into the queer subtext that was in the books and making it text.
They're also doing a fantastic job of humanizing multiple villains that were kind of one note in the books.
Plus you've got women of all ages being badass in various ways. Deciding to ditch the book concept of all Aes Sedai appearing ageless and just saying they age slower really opens up their casting. (Plus saves money on a bunch of CGI/makeup that would probably just end up looking uncanny valley anyway.)

I'm not watching it, but you're kind of selling me on it.
I am a big Rosamund Pike fan.

Rosamund Pike is fantastic. She's completely replaced the image of Moiraine I had in my head from the books. (She apparently does an amazing job with the audiobooks as well. So far she's recorded the first three. I'm not an audiobook person so I haven't heard them myself.)
I honestly love the whole cast. They're excellent and the people playing some of the bigger villains seem to be having the time of their lives.
