Except the Season 5 Expanse trailer dropped and after the first 3 episodes drop, they will be going to weekly, so I'm thrilled.


So it looks like we're going to get some variation of the "Don't call me Chrissie" and "I think she likes me." And honestly if we don't get that epic encounter from Nemesis Games nearly word for word, I'll cry.  Also, interesting and sad that Cas Anvar is so de-emphasized in the trailer and wasn't included on the NYCC cast panel.  I assume the reason is the ongoing investigation into the many reports of his harassing conduct at Cons.

The Mandalorian is coming.  Also, I really enjoyed Enola Holmes.  It's super fun and on Netflix and there's a new series of GBBO. 

And of course The Old Guard on Netflix which is very much this season's favorite fandom flavor.  I loved it.  I've watched it about 5 times and that scene where the team is going through Merrick?  Yeah, I've watched that as many times as I've watched opening sequence of Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing, now on Amazon Prime.  20?  30?  I kinda start my day with it.

And then there is Dune.  I'm one of those people who read Dune right after being bitterly disappointed in the Foundation Trilogy probably 40 years ago.  I loved the book, hated the sequels, and it's one of those books that I'm frightened to go back and read because I might not love it and I know that whole white savior thing would really bother me now.  Still, the trailer looks amazing and gender bend Liat Kynes, YES PLEASE.


 

Also, my old story Food for Thought got recc'd on fanacke by the lovely [personal profile] beatrice_otter so that was super nice.
And Snapes on the Astral Plane is back with this piece from Jezebel, a lot of which I don't agree with but it's fun to revisit a favorite wank and I 
guess some Kylo Ren fans are upset with the comparison.  I'm not touching that one.

Are you reading or seeing anything fun?  What's made you happy during these grim times?

Me, my spawn and our run-ins with the Purity Police (like mother like spawn) skip if you don't want to read wank )
