i earnestly love and admire that, in this particular political moment, Riverdale chose to bump up Kevin's screentime and focus on his new boyfriend, as well as continue to focus on Toni/Cheryl, and to show them kissing as much as possible. It's important and cool.

i know most people have probably abandoned this show (idky, it's always a batshit delight) but it's still cool that the writing team did this (maybe more cool)

did two characters living IN the 1950s just say, "you've really captured what it's like to be in a queer interracial relationship in the 1950s"? ...yes

did a young man in the 1950s just say the words "my mental health"? ...yes

which. lol. but, i mean, it's not a documentary, it's a show for teens in 2023, so fuck it

I've been too exhausted to post about the show here, I mainly chat about it on the 18+ CBSG Discord server. But here's a bunch of quick disorganized thoughts about both episodes, long after I've watched them:

( contains horny spoilers )

( MAJOR SPOILERS )

I realized I have not been posting about the recent episodes of the show that has completely eaten my brain!

( spoilers for S2, episodes 2-7 )

NEW GHOSTS NEW GHOSTS NEW GHOSTS NEW GHOSTS

( spoilers for the ep as well as speculation about what's coming up this season based on what's been teased by the crew and CBS, and spoilers for Ghosts UK )

I was posting pretty steadily about Picard and then kinda just dropped off.

( spoilers )

Ghosts (CBS) comes back Sept. 29th! *high-pitched screams* YAY, MY BLORBOS.

This show is so cute and comforting. I like that it's sweet and cuddly, with a little bite to keep it from being cloying. The ghosts are petty and bored from having been stuck with each other for decades, which drives the comedy, and some were terrible people in life, but in death, they're at least trying to be better, even if it's often two steps forward, one step back.

Also, there's a canon m/m couple, if that's something that draws you to shows. <3

It's definitely cuddlier than the UK original (which is also excellent), but I think they each have their own appeal, and the remake does some interesting things with how it adapts and remixes the UK version.

The show airs at 8:30pm EST on CBS and all of s1 is available to stream at Paramount+ (aka where all the Star Trek content is now). But if you'd like to, cough, preview it, PM me.

( spoilers for both the episodes and some stuff I saw on the internet that could potentially spoil upcoming episodes )

( spoilers! )

I wish I had more to say about Our Flag Means Death! I really enjoyed it. I was all set to become fannish about it, but it's gotten so huge so fast and big fandoms tend to be too overwhelming for me. :( ( cut for length )

Anyway, I liked the show a lot. It kind of gave me everything I need so I don't really feel the need to seek fanfic out... or maybe because the fandom is so large, I know I would be overwhelmed by the amount of fanfic, so that made me feel like I don't need it. I love Rhys Darby, I love Taika Waititi. I love Lucius. I didn't like Black Pete but then when [SPOILER] happened I thought that was very cute. Izzy Hands is great.

I've seen it described by a few folks as a "light romantic comedy" and... hmm. I guess my description would be more "strangely cute"? On a scale of Schitt's Creek to It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, I'd place it squarely in the middle. I mean, guys, ffs, ( SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER ) That's a scoche more intense than the pranks Jim played on Dwight in The Office. People get stabbed through the eye and set on fire. It's not Notting Hill, lol.

But it is funny! And weirdly cute! If you don't know what it's about but have seen it all over your dash/tl/whatever, it's about a fancy rich dude in the ye olde pirate days who decides to become a pirate, but he's very modern/anachronistic about it and is trying to make his crew more progressive/gentle. Around halfway through, he meets a famous, allegedly bloodthirsty pirate and it becomes about their relationship -- Fancy Dude trying to learn to be more ruthless (sort of) in order to survive and Famous Pirate learning to be more fancy (sort of). They get to know each other, things happen. The first three episodes are more episodic and the rest are a little more serialized, though still self-contained. If you liked Flight of the Conchords, you'd probably like it (it stars Murray!) and I hear that if you liked What We Do In The Shadows (movie or tv), you'll like it. (I wasn't into the movie (I mean, it was fine, it just didn't really do it for me) and haven't tried the show.)

Anyway.

Pirates!

I don't really have anything of substance to say, but I guess I'll still put it behind a cut since spoilers (including some big ones).

( spoilers )

I don't have a lot to say about this one, but it was good!

( Spoilers for 2x03 )

( Spoilers for John de Lancie's interview on The Ready Room )

/end of Ready Room spoilers

( back to episode spoilers )

Anyway, I am really intrigued to see where the season goes from here.

My girlfriend got me into The Walking Dead. I thought, "Well, I could keep complaining about how fandom's moved to Twitter when Dreamwidth is still right here but not actually post anything... or I could actually post something."

If you've already seen the show, would love to get your thoughts in comments, though I'm unspoiled (this is my first watch and I haven't read the comics). I have been spoiled for the following things:

Anyway, here are my very obnoxious thoughts:
