I did not know there was a British version. I am way behind the times, it seems.
Can I say, I love that there are new posts in Boxed Set every time I pop in today? Such a joy!
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Ghosts is delightful! The British version is on my tbw list.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I love Ghosts! Both kinds
I wasn't going to keep watching Strange New Worlds after the crossover episode (so good!) but then they did the musical episode (I loved the mention of bunnies and the line "I've got a theory") so I just kept going.

I'm trying to figure out where I can access British Ghosts. I expect I'll enjoy it if I see more than a 2 minute clip. I know I like the female lead (even though I can't remember what I know her from).

I like both versions of Ghosts! I was ready to dislike the American one on principle, but then I watched a few episodes and fell in love with it. I am impressed with the ways the writers modified the premise rather than just rehashing it, and I've enjoyed watching the characters grow.

Thrive to spite them
I really liked Rose McIver in iZombie and it's nice to see her again another show.
It seems like it's just a fluffy little show and then it has moments like Thor singing to Hetty.
I thought the world building rules about possession were well done amd a good way to keep the ghosts isolated and secret.

Unfortunately, no. But IIRC, they're planning to air it here soon (as a consequence of the strike?), so I should be able to catch it then, since I still have regular cable.

This, and Utkarsh Ambudkar (who I'm fond of from Pitch Perfect ), are why I tuned in to what, on the face of it, sounded like a dumb premise. The charming is why I've stuck around!

Compassionately intolerant
I had a great conversation with someone about Strange New Worlds this morning! I was talking about how much I loved Hemmer and that his character felt like a mashup of Bones & Scott with a dash of Chekov to me.
