ironymaidenwhat are you currently consuming?
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Nirvana in Fire.
this week CxG did almost an entire episode of dream-sequence/AU (because apparently they can do anything they want) where Nathaniel was the protagonist in a romantic comedy. as much as i appreciate the character growth for N, i am having trouble with the hand being dealt.*
NiF is so good, and C has been wonderful about us watching together. we're now about 17 episodes in. my major frustration is that i learned to my despair that i can't look up much of anything online without spoilers. is there something like Mars Investigations or The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5 for NiF out there in English?
what did you recently finish?
Nothing since last week. (I did not actually finish The Good Place. I thought it was done, but there was actually one more episode that aired on Thursday. I haven't watched it yet.)
what will you consume next?
MOAR NIF, that last episode of The Good Place. maybe The Orville or Brooklyn 99 if i watch something that isn't NiF.
*it doesn't help that there was a casting change for the character of Greg. part of this was due to scheduling conflicts with the actor, but there is some great writing about how emotional distance can completely change our perception of a person. having Greg played by a new actor makes some sense story-wise. the problem is me, in that Classic Greg is striking but not handsome, and New Greg is more conventionally pretty (and therefore less appealing to me). Classic Greg is a true triple-threat; i haven't seen New Greg really dance, and his singing is serviceable.
