Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

It's got more of the Marvel movies than they originally said they would launch with. It doesn't have The Incredible Hulk, which is still controlled by Universal, or the solo Spider-Man films, which are with Sony, and Black Panther and Infinity War are still on Netflix. But every other Marvel film is there, which is nice.

OK has anyone seen The Mandalorian yet? Because OMG that baby critter. (Which isn't Yoda, and we don't know what species Yoda is, but he's hella cute. Did they get Henson to do the work?)

Adorbs.

Still waiting for Gina Carano to show up, though: this show has a lamentable shortage of female characters so far, which is weird given Dave Filoni's involvement.

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.

Gina Carano and Ming Na Wen are both supposed to be a part of it, though I don't know how much.

Speaking of Filoni, I want my Asokha and Sabine road trip show, damn it.

Word, Kalshane. Really want to see more of their stories.

And really, shouldn't someone have found Ezra by the time of TLJ?

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

I don't want to discuss Star Wars on the public internet, but I am having a very hard time accepting Baby Yoda as 50 years old. Longer lifespans in animals do not imply extended periods of infancy. Fucking sea turtles are independent within minutes of hatching and fully mature by age 10.

THIS IS THE MANDALORIAN HILL I WILL DIE ON

LOL, Jessica. You are not wrong! Extended infancy is a pretty bad evolutionary strategy.

In other news, I'm watching For All Mankind, and is almost the Mercury 13 AU I wanted, but with too many square-jawed white dudes. And not enough lesbians. And they just killed off the cynical middle aged female pilot I was rooting for, damn it.

I watched the first two eps of FAM and wasn't impressed. I kept waiting for the AU to get more...A. It almost felt like Moore's research ended in July 1969 and after that he just sort of winged it and accidentally wrote a plot that follows actual history almost exactly?

In episode 3 they bring back some of the Mercury 13, which makes me happy. There are choices I'm not loving, but I'm finding it fairly interesting. Not compelling, though.
