I did watch the pilot for The Bad Batch; it wasn't terrible, but it's trying to be both a children's show and good for adults, and I don't think it's treading that line very well. It continues to treat the programmed Clone Troopers like cannon fodder, even when they're the genetic siblings of the heroes.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Is anyone else watching Debris? It's chock-full of Fringey goodness.

Ooh, I meant to watch that when I first heard about it but then I forgot. Thanks!

Our wings are not tired.
My sister loves Debris. She was surprised that I wasn't watching it, but I promised I would get on it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yep. One of the nice features so far is that the story is getting advanced by the leads communicating, even when they are not supposed to.
I get so frustrated by stories that rely on miscommunication or lack of communication.

It took me a few episodes to realize the audio over the end credits is different each time and seems to be a hint to some backstory.

Thanks for mentioning that, aurelia, so I knew to pay attention. I think this weekend was the perfect time to catch up on Debris because the first several episodes had me not sure how much I really liked it/could follow it, but these last two were terrific so now I am IN

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
We are watching Farscape with the kids and have finally gotten over the hot mess that is the first half of S1. (Not that the individual eps are all bad, but the episode order is so bonkers that the relationships do not track at all from one ep to the next. Now we just need Chiana's accent to stabilize and we'll be all set.)
Anyway, Aeryn (my daughter) has confidently stated every time it looks like Crichton's in danger that she's not worried because he's a main character so he has to survive and I truly cannot wait for this innocent child of mine to get to S3.

Oh, wow, watching your kids watch Farscape sounds like an amazing journey

Don't let her watch The Magicians. (Still not over that bullshit.) (Also laughing my ass off about Farscape, though.)
