Star Wars Andor S1E4: Aldhani
I've mentioned that I don't like beards, I think? Well, I don't, and without his Cassa is pretty bangable I must say.

The Apothecary Diaries S1E1-3 (continued)
The atmosphere is excellent, the characters are excellent, and the mysteries and detectivework could be really engaging if they got more focus.

The Apothecary Diaries S1E1-3
Before being captured and sold into slavery, Maomao's main hobby was doing medical experiments. Mostly on herself, for want of other test subjects.

Star Wars Andor S1E3: "Reckoning" (continued more)
Now that there is thinking like an insurgent!

Star Wars Andor S1E3: "Reckoning" (continued)
I find myself caring about Wars in a way I never did previously. All these names and bits of trivia that I absorbed by osmosis and have been more or less dead weight in my brain for decades are suddenly lighting up and forming patterns.
It's honestly a kind of surreal experience.

Star Wars Andor S1E3: "Reckoning"
That's another quirk of Star Wars, isn't it? People are really extemporaneous in their landing sites.

Star Wars Andor S1E2: "That Would Be Me" (continued)
If Linus is playing saboteur, he's good at it.

Star Wars Andor S1E2: "That Would Be Me"
Younger mugshot Cassa without the facial hair is pretty bangable, ngl.

Star Wars Andor S1E1: "Cassa" (continued)
Isn't he supposed to be blue with antennae, though? I feel like there must have been a mixup in the costume department.

Star Wars Andor S1E1: "Cassa"
He made a mistake just now. He went into a bar. In Star Wars. Bars aren't for drinking at, in Star Wars, they're for finding people to fight to the death. The instant any character ever sets foot in a bar, one or more blaster-wielding thugs will become determined to murder them and them specifically for no apparent reason.

Katalepsis VI: "And Less Pleasant Places" (part 5)
It turns out that yes, the occult underworld actually IS dangerous, and you CAN'T just have young adult fantasy adventures in it without consequences.

Katalepsis VI: "And Less Pleasant Places" (part 4)
I swear to god, if Heather mentally refers to Raine as a "sociopath" ONE MORE FUCKING TIME after this...

Katalepsis VI: "And Less Pleasant Places" (part 3)
I don't know if Raine, who Heather describes lovingly as a "sociopath" at least once every other chapter, would have done that.

Katalepsis VI: "And Less Pleasant Places" (part 2)
The Eye is unambiguously manipulative, malevolent, and cruel. No more benefit of the doubt can be extended to it after this point.


Mindwave (demo)
I feel like it's the beginning of an interesting story, but the demo shows too little for me to be sure.

Chainsaw Man #39-43 (part three)
There's some really mystical imagery going on here. Which is, again, made tragically ironic by how insincere Reze's performance actually is.

Chainsaw Man #39-43 (part two)
Will this end up being a test of the heart that Denji is so proud of himself for having? Or a test of the brain that neither he nor the reader has any reason to put faith in? Possibly both.
