You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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?

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

Totally.

Although it occurred to me last night that it's the other way around: Noranti looks like Aughra, since the original DC pre-dates FS by 20 years.

I'm 3 eps into Carnival Row and I've decided I like it enough to continue. It's like a big bowl of fantasy trope soup.

Netflix just made the worst TV show of all time

It's like if you were forced to watch The Prisoner underwater—you're vaguely aware of a sci-fi conceit, but everything is blurry and you can't understand what anyone is saying because you're underwater.

It's like if you had to watch The Blue Lagoon—which already has a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes—completely out of order, while someone whispers non-sequiturs in your ear.

It's like if the cast of Love Island were told on day one of filming that they had 24 hours to make a TV show using only the props they had on them.

It's like if you ran the script of Robinson Crusoe through Google Translate into every language on Earth, converted it back to English, and then asked a high-school drama club to perform whatever was left without a single rehearsal.
