Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Wasn't that another Skarsgard (Alexander, IIRC) in Generation Kill?

Alexander is playing Murderbot

There are several of them, though. I had to check to confirm.

Bill's been in so many things I'm sick of seeing him in trailers, even though I thought he did a good job in the IT movies. (Not as good as Tim Curry in the same role, but that's an unfair standard.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I watched the first episode of The Pitt, and it turns out that medical dramas still do not mix well with my anxiety, which is a fucking shame, because I really liked the characters. I just don't handle medical stuff well at all. I'll have to stick to Leverage: Redemption for my Noah Wyle fix.

It does not get *less* intense. Good job looking out for your own well-being.

I have been seeing promos for some sort of Librarians sequel or spinoff or something, btw, but I don't have any reason to think Noah Wyle is part of that...

So many Skarsgards! I was thinking of Gustaf--Vikings' Floki, or Bill--It. But Alexander did Generation Kill, True Blood, and now Murderbot. And Daddy Stellan did Thor and other MCU movies, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mamma Mia, and my favorite, Wind. SO many Skarsgards.

ETA: AFAIK, Wyle is doing something as a doctor again. So no Librarian.

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

Someone else remembers Wind ? Wow.

Yes! My Whomper! You tie it on, it goes whomp, and we're back in the g*ddam race!

I still laugh myself silly at Skarsgard's character sitting in the hangar where they're trying to build the boat and playing "Skye Boat Song" with understandable melancholy on the cello. I and my DH were almost certainly the only people in the theatre who recognized the song and it's relation to the situation.

The hook for me was the sailplane. I was instructing in them in Colorado at the time.

Agreed. My anxiety responds to watching high-anxiety things sometimes. But not action movies. Captain America: Winter Soldier killed me when they were destroying all of the parked cars because all I could think of was having my car destroyed by a superhero and having to go through the insurance claim. But I find L & O SVU soothing.
