Oh, good. I should watch more of that.

Anyone else watching S3 of Star Trek: Disco? I'm enjoying it quite a lot. The last episode was really interesting: I wasn't as into the character stuff with Burnham (I think the narrative rewarded her too quickly), but I loved the stuff they're doing with Vulcans and Romulans.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I agree she was rewarded pretty darn fast - but I love how they move things along
Orphan Black did that too.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Star Trek Discovery has been my ultimate TV comfort food during all of this. This season is so different and it's taking me a while to get into it, but I'm getting there.

Posited: In ST:Disco Season 3, Starfleet isn't the US Navy (or the British Navy, or whatever); it's the Coast Guard.
Saving lives, keeping the lines of communication and transportation running, stitching together a far-flung network of peoples with limited resources and limited military power. Sounds more like the Coast Guard than the Navy to me...

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Head canon accepted!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Having found a small Tumblr community and a DW comm for The Untamed meta discussion, pics, vids, and fic, etc., and having completed my second rewatch of the series, I have now slid laterally into Guardian, The Wolf, Joy of Life and Nirvana in Fire. cdramas FTW!
So far I'm three eps into The Wolf--I deserve hairpats for watching past ep.1, with the chirpy ingenue and the bad take on raised by wolves. But by ep.3 that's all better now. One ep into Joy of Life, and no judgement yet, except, wow, pretty! Sets, locations, atmosphere, etc. I have a dozen or more recs for NiF, and Guardian looks amazing, from the trailers.
Now returning you to your regular streaming fare...

Thrive to spite them
The Mandalorian! There are only 2 more episodes left and so much story to tell but I can sort of see how it might play out (recruit to rescue next episode, rescue in the finale, then a Jedi shows up--cliffhanger until S3). But I don't know.
I'm a little torn about Boba Fett. On the one hand Boba Fett is cool on the other hand he seems less mysterious but very bad ass.
Also I liked how you could clearly see that Mando (I know he has a name ) is really attached to Baby Yoda and is reluctant to let him go.
I also discovered today that Pedro Pascal is often not on set and so often those are his body doubles we are seeing. And in one episode in Season 1 Pascal only voiced the character. It really amazes me how seamless the whole thing is but I also feel that they all should get credit for the character not just Pascal

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Since we're always behind the curve, we just finished S1 of The Umbrella Academy. I am utterly bemused by the absence of some modern technology in a fictional world set in 2019 where Grace/Mom exists. (I've read articles about that deliberate choice, and I have no quarrel with it, narratively; it's just really jarring once you're aware of it.)
I have a whole lot of other thoughts about the show, but they really all boil down to "Reginald Hargreeves WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK."

Thanks y'all for the recommendation for The Repair Shop. It's been fascinating, both the history of the various objects and the repair techniques involved.
