TV: What Are You Watching?

Wife and I started The Expanse Monday. Got current up to season 5 on Thursday. Great show, and love that it's scifi without being too far out of the realm of possibility.

Jokes aside, I love the show and books. I hope they find a way to get the last 3 books adapted. I can't wait for the last book to come out. The way book 8 ended was just too tasty. It is really cool to see humans in space, and the most unrealistic piece of tech the humans have is the Epstein Drive, and that isn't crazy.

While channel surfing at 8 AM this morning I come upon a BBC America description of a Peter Capaldi Dr. Who episode called "The Girl Who Died" from 2015. Since it has Vikings in it I decide to take a look. Now, I haven't watched Dr. Who in years, and never seen Capaldi at all in the role. This is only one of a marathon of many Dr. Who shows they are running for the holidays, all of which I am not viewing.

And who do I see as a familiar face guest starring?

Why, its Masie Williams playing a gutsy Viking teen--who else would she be playing, after all? (that's Arya Stark from Game of Thrones, you know).

How about that?

Cool, I am an old school Dr Who fan. Watched most of the new stuff up to Capaldi as well. He reminds a lot of the very first Doctor.

I just watched a Masie film, Sunstroke 2014. Not too bad, way better than I expected.

Maisie is also in the next episode, for a quite interesting reason, as its set 800 years later.

And the Doctor's Assistant later played in the PBS series Victoria...as Queen Victoria!

I've watched the first 2 episodes of WandaVision and have really enjoyed it. Very different than anything Marvel has done. I love the setting and style as it's presented as an old 50's and 60's show like Bewitched, I Love Lucy and Dick Van Duke show.

With me being 53, I very much remember watching those shows when I was young. I watched the reruns of course, as the first airings were even before my time, but those were some fun shows.

Enjoyed the second season of The Mandalorian and the third of Star Trek Discovery. Don't know if I'll be able to keep up with all the spin offs of both! (not on HBO Max).

Going through HBO Max means not only checking out everything A to Z, but doing the same for the "HBO Hubs" that act as gateways to other offerings! There are a half dozen of these, although one person won't be interested in all of them.

Surprise discoveries await...

Woof, I watched the first two episodes and just could not get into it. Just not my sense of humor, I guess.

Just finishing Season One of the fairly recent super popular Anime Re: Zero, which is an odd combination of Displacement To A Fantasy World and Groundhog Day! Enjoying it. A Second Season also exists. HBO Max has a Crunchy Roll hub, among half a dozen others.

Apparently there's an Invincible show coming out, I should probably start reading those comics.

My favorite comic of all time. It's seriously the best. Can't wait for the show.

Karl Urban is so great. Hope he gets to be Dredd again someday.

...And I still can't decide if I like or hate the Boys comic. It's soooooo gratuitous. And long winded too often. But the underlying plot is very good. I'd still like to check out the show sometime if I find time. But yeah would love to see a Dredd sequel.
