After watching two video deep dives on GRRM and Patrick Rothfuss' writing progress, this does not reassure me at all
You know, you're allowed to check calendar dates and compare them without watching 4 hours of YouTube
Yeah but then I wouldn't have seen them cross reference Wordcount updates in blogs proving they haven't written anything in a decade!
So it's only going to take 2 and a half years 😭
Netflix did a fantastic reboot of "Lost In Space." They started in 2018 and lost a lot of time to Covid. They leaned into it and set the last season ten years after the end of the second.
To get the full experience, watch the 1960's pilot first, because the creators managed to take everything that was silly in the original and make it smart. Also, Parker Posey is a fantastic psycho baddie.
I'm watching season 2 right now. It's pretty good. I'm always happy when Stiller does good stuff.
And it's not funny, on brand for Stiller, albeit on purpose this time.

Thanks. I really like these and hadn't seen this one.
I've actually met his parents. They were sweet and funny. But yeah that comedy zinger was great lol

If you like this show, watch it's grandfather for free.
The Prisoner.
After resigning from his government job, a man awakens in a mysterious village where everyone has a number.
The Prisoner is arguably the grandfather of like 90% of modern television, not just Severance. Phenomenal show
Imagine a time before tv shows had antiescape spheres. How did writers get by. :)
And yet, someone decided to down vote my comment.
I actually wish they'd left a reason, it might have been an interesting discussion.
It's probably a twin peaks fan
Am curious as a fan of both series, is there a beef between The Prisoner and Twin Peaks? I couldn't imagine a fan of one not loving the other
I don't think it's beef, so much as the Prisoner is less popular and most people are exposed to Twin Peaks by a friend or podcaster who says 'This is the show responsible for modern television like x-files, sopranos, and breaking bad' - which the downvoted comment contradicts.
I'm just guessing though, making a lot of assumptions
That actually got a laugh out loud.
Take these suggestions.
"Night's Master" by Tanith Lee. Back in the time when the Earth was still flat, a demon prince used to ride the skies nightly, looking for humans to seduce and/or torment.
"Dark Voyage" by Alan Furst. In 1941 a Dutch sea captain is seconded to the British Navy. His freighter and its motley crew are going to transport spies into enemy ports, disguised as a neutral ship.
Enjoy your afternoon.
Sure, but question: are you a number?
