Was anyone else ultimately disappointed by DEVs?
No, but only because I'd run out of fucks to give about three episodes in? It was so so pretty and so so serious and so so not as clever as it thought it was.

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

That sums it up.

Plus. DEVs was another story driven by a rich white man's pain and in the end rewarding him by giving him exactly what he wanted, never mind the awful things he did to get there or the people who died in his wake. I wish I hadn't gotten my hopes up in the beginning.

Thrive to spite them
We just finished ep 6 of The Witcher. I'm really enjoying it. I mean, there is stuff that is obviously missing and that if this were a long series it could be fleshed out more. Like how much time is going by between the episodes (not in relation to the different timelines). There are a few things like when Yen talks about decades or makes a crack about Jaskier's crows feet but that doesn't really show you time moving and why Ciri and Dara went from just seeming to meet to being family to each other, that seemed quick.
Oh and I'm confused about how long Yennifer and Geralt had known each other by the time the dragon hunt happened.
I'm reading fanfic so I'm seeing things referenced (or rewritten) showing up in the show but I read this really long sort of AU world building thing that has colored my preception of the characters. (An Accidental Warlord and His Pack.. which doesn't have any werewolf elements to it)
Also does anyone have any recs for The Witcher? Fic or vids.

I haven't seen so don't read it, but Dira Sudis has been writing Witcher fic.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just finished S2 of Umbrella Academy and I loved it. It's been an excellent distraction for me. I adore Klaus (even though he looks a bit like an old BF).

I wanted to watch Doom Patrol but I don't want to pay $30 for something I'm not sure I'll like and can't return.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I adore Klaus (even though he looks a bit like an old BF).
Klaus is Matilda's woobie. "My poor baby!" she cries out when he's in danger.
Eric on Sex Education is her other Woobie.

I watched both seasons of Umbrella Academy over the last couple weeks. That was fun.

Hey. New board.
Zen Could you subscribe to HBO Max or DC Universe for a month? I'm not sure what those cost but surely it's less than 30 bucks...
