the wildest thing about Chernobyl is that it was, to my mind, a pretty accurate and severe indictment of hierarchy and careerism, but everyone watched it and said "golly I'm sure glad I don't live in a communism"
then like six months later, covid!
Yes but a lot of people think communism is that thing where one guy says what you can and can't do. Also they think face masks work pulled down below you nose or that covid isn't real at all. This last year (4 years?) has really lowered my expectations of intelligence for the average person.

The wildest part about Chernobyl is how many people there were exposed to incredible amounts of deadly radiation and remain alive to this day. Some of them even in good health!

there are plenty of people who aren't anti-maskers or otherwise dumb about covid, but who did have the same lazy read on Chernobyl, is the thing

Turns out the problem was idiotic despots and conservative bureaucrats.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Watched Manifest Season 3 Episode 1. The show's always been about belief but I think it's making the turn into a secret jesus show. When the biggest logic and evidence and "there's an explanation for everything" character suddenly decides maybe it's actually god it feels weird.
I have to admit, everyone was right about the last few episodes of Lower Decks being much better than all the rest. I decided to power through the last half of the season, and by the end I think I'd say I actually like the show. If a second season starts at that quality level, I'd definitely give it a shot. Although I do still have issues with it.
The best way I can describe it is, it feels like someone consumed all of the same media I did, and loves it just as much. Just for entirely different reasons. Although it could be worse, like the Heathers remake.
The scene where Jared Harris just offhand explains that he and Skarsgard are actually already dead and then lists all the ways they could die was amazing.
Jared Harris might quietly be one of the best actors working right now.

Re-watching Stargate SG-1. I wonder why the writers changed the Spelling of Jack's name from O'Neil to O'Neill. It can't all be for that one joke in season 2.

Even in a cast as filled with the exceptionally doomed as 'The Terror', Jared Harris still manages to play the most "doomed".
I'm sad he hasn't shown back up in the Expanse despite being referenced.
The podcast actually explains they've tried to get him back multiple times, but every time they try he's already doing several projects. So they had to transfer a bunch of Dawes story to Anderson and Ashford.

I didn't actually pick up on that being a thing. they make the two Ls joke a few times that I remember though

I think it was an intentional in-joke about how his personality is so different from the movie character.

I’m assuming you meant Johnson?
And yeah, is there any Dawes stuff left to tell at this point of the show? I haven’t read the books, but I’m interested as to how much of a presence his name would even have in the final season, after everything that’s happened

Yup, Johnson, sorry mixed up there.

Dawes represents the more independent Belter factions that end up more or less aligned with Johnson against Inaros, so I don't think he does all that much more.
Finished Infinity Train over the weekend. Really good show, rolls a lot darker over time than I expected.
Since each episode is only 11 minutes it kind of makes it so each season can work as a standalone 110ish minute movie.
Was curious when that last season was due and it's just in a couple weeks, so that works out nicely.

and using the game to tell the audience that "hanna has died" is perfect. It's foreshadowing that the audience will likely miss, especially if they played the game.
Yay for more Paget Brewster, but going by the first episode it would seem they somehow don't have the rights to use any Hanna-Barbera characters?

Annnnnnd I just now realized that Phil Sebben is a pun on Falcon 7.
God dammit.

I mindblanked on Phil, though he only appeared in photographs.
Birdgirl was an original creation for the Harvey Birdman version, and the rest of the Birdman and Hanna-Barbera stuff is gone (at least for this episode), aside from a new character that's probably related to a character from the original series.

I did a video chat with one of the guys that takes care of all the Chernobyl pups. They’re all very well fed and taken care of, as they should be.
