I'll chime in with the others and ask... "Why don't it tell us what this Claritin does?!"
Because if I take it and I don't have an ego death mind trip... I would feel so confused.

Also. That hand holding a lightning bolt behind them. I guess it's supposed to be Thor. But I'm getting some serious Lisberger backlit animation vibes from it:

So.. in the end, I'm saying. Is that I wouldn't mind a spinoff show that's a kind of SW Battle of the Bands Tournament Arc. Not a reality TV show. But a mid budget drama with at least one full music performance per episode.
And a special cameo with Bill & Ted of course

I guess maybe Galactic Dreamer does fit the sound better for what usually ends up as a Sommarplåga.

I mean (yes, I start a lot of posts with that phrase). I mean. The closest I can think of is that one time Jefferson Airplane was in The Holiday Special.

I mean, we've had the Star Wars Disco version. But as far as I know, it wasn't in universe. It was only for us earthbound humans to enjoy.

And as it's also in universe music. Diegetic, if you are so inclined. It makes me wonder what other synth club house songs might be lurking in the canon.

I mean. From the first scene it's heard it somehow just sends shivers down my spine. Because like a Pavlovian association, I know things will go down and it's a kind of a siren call to for a moment forget all troubles.

The straight translation of Sommarplåga would be something like "Summer Torment", because of how sick of it everyone is by the time summer ends.
I'm sure other countries have their own name for the phenomenon. I just could only think of this one.

So if I randomly followed dear reader, don't be alarmed, I just want to see more of what's happening around me. Oavsett om det är på svenska, jamsk eller englesiska.

In 2002, I was in the swedish equivalent of a High School... We were loaned brand spanking new thinkpads...
It hurts that I now have to accept that it is that old...

Tony Gilroy becoming the Tolkien of Star Wars...

Does this mean we have to go by medieval naming conventions and call him by his full name:
J.D. "Fancier of Furniture", "Popper of Popes", Vance?

My question would be on how to enforce it. I guess it's on the honor system.

Apparently, if you have a domain you can speed it up somewhat.

Yup. If it's optional for one, it's optional for all.

Now... if only they could get that level of animation for an actual anime adaptation.

it is quite an interesting thing to see these images after the whole AI-Ghiblifying debacle.
And yes. It does look way better when done by humans
(bracing myself for the reveal that it was AI all along)

I mean, yes, the ones that are just stills superimposed on the screen are straight forward enough. But the animated crawls. I'd love for someone to show the process, from these first printed pages to the rig used at the animation stand and finally to the final print spliced into the reels.
comment in response to

This reminds me... That I haven't seen a video showcasing how end title crawls used to be created before the advent of digital tools.
And now I want to see it.

Is it just me or wouldn't "rewarding the lazy" be a favorable alternative to "rewarding only psychotic greed and narcissism"? I'm preaching to the choir here, though. :)
And yes. I'm doing my third watch through while waiting for S2. The Prison Arc is up next tonight. It's so friggin good.

I have not heard/read someone describe the old lady with tiny aliens episode as a funny one before
Though. Yes, having an anthology show that doesn't explore humor is a lost opportunity. Even strictly horror anthologies like ABC's of Death had great funny segments.

Life sure was weird in them days. The days before ubiquitous phone camera access.

Yup. As someone who's neither black nor queer... Their inclusion hasn't stopped me from enjoying a good story.
I consume stories to experience lives outside my own. When I see a protagonist that's "just like me", I feel like an opportunity was lost.

the US saw the sci fi action epics of Paul Verhoeven, and thought, "COOL! I wanna make THOSE worlds!"

Oh, and to predict the future... If any of it gets a spinoff because they want to continue past S2 despite... Yknow...
I could very much watch multiple seasons detailing the further tragic adventures of Bix.
If she makes it through S2 that is.
We'll see soon enough, I suppose.

A... Whaaa?
It feels so weird... In all media... In all my life... It has been argued... Successfully. That acting like this president should land him or her in timeout. Just to contemplate on how bizarrely, enragenly, out of touch with reality he/she is...
But... I need to take him seriously?
