If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The media embargo on Dark Crystal Age of Resistance has lifted and I am ready to report that I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I want to skip work today and spend hours putting screenshots of it next to screenshots from Farscape because wow, the Henson Company sure is committed to a very specific visual style.

It starts out a little slow but there's a point in ep 5 where we all just sat up straight and gaped, and when it was over my 12 year-old said it should be called Game of Thra'ns. (No, he has not seen or read any of GoT, but cultural osmosis in middle school is a thing, you know?)

The writing throughout is earnest and funny and warm. The mythology is lovely to soak in. It's family-friendly without being childish or simplistic. The puppetry, naturally, is amazing.

Mark Hamill doesn't voice the character you think he does, but he's great anyway, as are all the rest of the cast.

Oooh, that's exciting, JessiMoon!

Does Fizzgig appear in it?

Yes, kind of - fizzgig, at least according to this show's canon, is the name of the species. So there are a few of them here and there, and also it means that Thra's ecosystem and culture were devastated by this war to the extent that about a century later, Kira named her dog "Dog" and nobody thought it was an odd choice.

Has anyone watched Carnival Row yet? I've seen some terrible reviews, but the pictures I've seen look very pretty.

We finally started Black Mirror this week, and it is like nothing I have ever seen before.

Cara Delevingne as the female lead told me everything I needed to know about that series.

Matt, in a good or bad way? I don't have an opinion on her one way or another.

Bad. I assume that producers who didn't veto her casting are suspect in other areas as well.

Well, 7 episodes in, Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance has a helluva lot more body-horror than I expected a puppet show to; on the other hand, this is Henson, and they made Farscape.

Definitely gonna have to watch the original movie after this.

Speaking of Farscape, anyone else notice that Aughra bears a striking similarity to Noranti?
