Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

[Dark Soul # 7]

I happened to watch a video essay about it they basically said "there's a good show in there and it suddenly can get very good for brief intense spurts,"

Also since Joss Whedon is leaving the project it might actually improve going forward.

I myself have not watched it.

Hasn't Whedon already left it?

I remember hearing that was at most involved with the first episode but hasn't really done anything with any of the others.

Has anyone else watched The Nevers?

I’m most of the way through the first part (it’s not a ‘season’ as such, as they only managed to get as far as episode 6 so far due to COVID).

It shouldn’t be relevant today. There’s been a vast excess of Victorian London supernatural and semi-supernatural drama recently, steampunk is a bit… 90s, and the underlying plot conceit is positively dripping with overused tropes.

But somehow I think I might actually be enjoying it. Interesting characters, good dialogue and great acting.

I’ve watched it.

It is better than one would think it should be.

He was on it for the first season apparently but departed last year at some point during production of the upcoming second season.

Ah yeah, when writers interpret peak human strength as doing the impossible.

That is… I mean… wow. Just wow.

That is… I mean… wow. Just wow.

You disapprove of 'MERICA?

You disapprove of 'MERICA?

Umm… errr… no…? I mean of course not. I was merely expressing my amazement at how awesome ‘MERICA is.

Yeah, that’s it.

To be frank, I just find Fury's quick reaction from utter disbelief to "oh yeah, this is a comic" to be unintentionally hilarious.

Yeah, that’s it.

Good.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take my Freedom Bear down to the Eagle n' Deagle for some grub.

Anyone here [aside from me] familiar with the Webcomic Sleepless Domain? The talk about Magical Girls makes me think of this, makes me wonder about how it matches up with other Magical Girl Worlds.

......Well, okay there, Clint. Just push that car out of the way.

First Savate and boxing sparring since October today. Clearly feeling rusty as far as Savate is concerned (couldn't go to the "fitness boxing" sessions due to curfew bullshit). Boxing did feel a bit better (maybe the Savate session just before helped a bit though).

Nice! Congratulations about getting back into it!

I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get started with the interactive stuff with my own group soon. Frustrating!
