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.

I loved how they wrapped up season one of Murderbot, and I love even more that we’ll get a season 2!

Yes! It feels like the people making it love it like I do which is SUCH a TREAT (on top of being a really good adaptation which is great on its own merits)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The last episode in particular was a brilliant way to adapt the end of the novelette for the end of a TV season.

I had forgotten how much it can matter what the document (there is probably a better word but hopefully you know what I mean) that we are reading actually is (ie, letter to Mensah, ReadMe for SecUnits, documentary transcript excerpt, etc) and whether we know that while reading. If I had thought about that prior to watching the show, I would have been worried about how they could possibly handle it

I just finished watching Ballard. on Amazon Prime.
Enjoyed it. Some good puzzles. Excellent cast, excellent acting. Some delightful cameos by characters from Bosch.
A very good hook at the end of ep. 10 to set up season 2.
eta: Leonard Roberts (a.k.a. Forrest Gates from BtVS season 4) had a part in one episode, as a detective.

I am so goddamn conflicted about watching the rest of The Sandman. I enjoyed S1, I mostly enjoyed the first half of S2, but the news about Gaiman has, of course, retroactively tainted things for me.
With that aside, my complaints for the first half of S2 are:
1. Delirium should be weirder. She's too manic pixie dream girl in this, not the "seems nice, but obviously not tightly tethered to this world" she should be.
2. The fae should have been much more unsettling/uncanny valley. Not CGI everything, but less Renn Fair than they were. I'm sure budget was part of the issue, but they could have used the Charles Vess illustrations for that issue for more reference.
