I loved how they wrapped up season one of Murderbot, and I love even more that we’ll get a season 2!
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.
