We finished watching The Expanse tonight. The show eventually grew on me, but I wasn't really fond of how they ended it. Also, why do the whole B storyline with the girl bringing her brother back from the dead without actually connecting it to the rest of the story somehow.

I really really liked the first three episodes of Andor ! It's written by Tony Gilroy, who wrote Rogue One, the Bourne movies, and... The Cutting Edge. !!! Anyway it's very well done and so far after three episodes there are no space wizards.
I am struggling with The Rings of Power, as they are playing very fast and loose with both the timeline and the mythology. But it is very pretty.

It is so important in the books, but they just don't go that far in the series. That was a huge disappointment for me. I was watching with DH and a friend and had to deal with controlling myself from saying ....but but but in the books... nonstop.

The actors who play Holden, Amos, and Fred were at DC this year, and a couple of times when people asked about the end of the show, they were like, "What makes you so sure this is the end?" No plans for anything concrete, but it sounds like they're still pushing for a continuation or a wrap-up movie.

I look every once and a while as it is tragic they didn't get to the later books, but it sounds like no one wants to pay for it. I'm confident the production costs were considerable.

Interesting. I guess I should read them at some point.
I was talking about the finale with TCG, and we both felt the they should have wrapped up Marco's storyline in the previous season and spent the last season on the ring and proto molecule stuff.

Is anyone watching Reginald the Vampire? I’m finding it entertaining so far.

I'm loving Reginald. The writing is snappy and the leads are just so Ted-Lasso-endearing.

Doctor Who: So, I realized that I had never gotten around to watching The Legend of the Sea Devils, so I finally did that (and liked it!) and now I see that the new episode or special or whatever you call it is 2 hours long and I don’t feel up to that so I’m putting that off a bit longer but it has been impossible to avoid being spoiled meanwhile. Not by any of you, of course, but bah. And possibly humbug.
