Oh, I completed the newest season of Voltron a couple days ago. I thought it was pretty good. The gay representation was non-existant as you already know. However, I was glad that I was right when I heard people say the straight couples all got a happy ending...while that is true-ish there really aren't any romance scenes in the show at all. The only real notable relationship is between lance and the princess-and honestly it's been super subtle as to the point you could ignore it 90% of the time. I'd still say Kieth and Shiro's chemistry is still winning the day for me personally. I just pray they don't do anything to discredit the ship in the last season so I can head cannon all the gay I want.  |

The Handmaiden's Tale S2. This is really an amazing show. I read the book when I was a teenager and don't think I really understood it. Now, though, it's some scary shit. I fear for any woman who'd have to live in a world like that.

Glad that it was saved and it's a reminder to get back to watching season 2.

Watching this on Hulu. I don't know if the show is even on anymore but it seems kind of interesting.  |

I hope I can see the show eventually though.  Oh Rouccoco What did you think of the finale of Adventure Time? I was a little disappointed, but I was really glad that Bubblegum and Marcy finally kissed! Also glad it was mostly a happy ending...yet I wanted something more-not even sure what. |

It's not bad, quite lighthearted, things almost always end well tm, which is refreshing for a show in this day and age... but it makes the plot a bit lame at times. It got cancelled after 4 seasons tho. |

I've just watched it (man, finding a stream was hard, a lot of fake ones) It's kinda happy, but also not, as mentioned by one of the creators. This is probably set a bit before Graybles 1000+ (or after, the Guardian got smashed in that one), and that showed that another cataclysm just happened. It's in a weird place. PB and Marceline were supposed to be immortal, yet the Prize Ball Guardian is in both episodes carrying "hibernated" candy people. Shermy is supposed to be another Finn reincarnation (just like he was Shoko's). I don't know, it wasn't bad, but since season 6, and that comet reveal, I've been hoping they'd go to this place again, and the end was just "they lived their lives." And then died and got reincarnated again. Kinda anti-climactic. Also, I was hoping Prismo, Mr. Fox, and the Cosmic Owl would say something. And that Fire Wolf Pup would appear. But yeah Marci and PB happened, and that was great, and I wasn't sure it would. CN has been sidelining both AT, and Steven Universe, another show with gay couples, and I'm side eyeing that hard. I have to mull it over a bit. But I was worried it would be another Dexter and it wasn't, so at least that. |

I think overall I'll eventually be okay with the ending, but I guess the truth is ending the show will always feel like a bummer since I will always want more. I really hope Steven Universe airs new episodes soon. They keep teasing that one episode that they showed at one of the cons, but it hasn't aired on tv yet. argh. |

I'm basically waiting for SU to end before I begin. I don't want those huge gaps between 4-5 episode sprees. Yeah, it will be weird to not have it anymore :/ |

I stream it from totally 100% legitimate places, so it doesn't matter either way. Also, I saw something in the new AT intro Next to Marceline's house there are toppled statues of Finn and "Jer.." so probably Jermaine. Which means they died before Jake  There's also someone in a space suit that looks maybe like Jake. That would be depressing. |

I remember Jake saying those kinds of dreams always come true eventually. |

Also, I know "Come along with me" is Adventure Time's outro and all, but this would probably have been a better fit for the finale

If things are literally not available because of location, nation or whatever, I don't see a tremendous problem with using other sources. I know it's a fine line but I'd be okay with it. There is music out there that is only available in the UK (dance remixes) that I'm attached to. It's outright unavailable outside the UK. I don't have any major reservations about using other sources to get it. |

I've been watching a lot of "Castle Rock". It's got some creepy stuff and it's hard to really know what's going on. Time seems like it might be a bit wacky there but it takes a while to start seeing it.

Ah, i didn't notice Iron Fist season 2 came out on Netflix.
I mean I should probably watch it. Just so I'm up to date on the Defenders in general... but ugh.
I'll give my impressions if I can recall having any at the end of it all. Seriously, surprise me here Marvel.

Well, I'm done with Shield till it returns (apparently next summer). I guess it'll be a shorter season than usual with 13 episodes. I wonder if they are ramping up to cancel it-cause that happens a lot when seasons get shortened. As bad as the first half of that last season was, I was shocked it ended as well as it did.

Wish I could keep up with, well, anything. Castle Rock is easy because it's a weekly and I'm rarely more than two episodes behind. Extremely disappointed by the lack of Runaways. I'll eventually get to Iron Fist S2.
