pickI hadn't watched since it first came out. Had forgotten how good it was.
Favorite things:
Matt Smith as Parson Collins
I want boots and thigh holster for cosplay.
And Lizzy. Such a badass. ⚔️🎩🧟♂️

pickCatching up with books I‘ve finished this week.
This took me a while to get into, and I wasn‘t sure that I liked it, but after few days after finishing it, I‘m remembering and chuckling at bits of it. I do think something is lost in not being familiar with the books it was parodying, though.
Book 25/60 #Read2025 @DieAReader
pickLots of fun for Trekkies/Trekkers - fun twist to the phenomenon of a "red shirt". Wil Wheaton is always a wonderful narrator. But this author MUST find synonyms to "s/he said". Every line of dialogue was followed by "s/he said". Good grief, that was annoying.
⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I use the Rise app to keep track of my sleep debt. I‘ve never been a good sleeper, but it‘s been really bad the last two weeks. I‘m working on getting my sleep debt down in the coming days.
On a positive note, at least I‘ve kept up with my exercise! 😆
pickFunny! Only a little too meta at the end. Definitely a reminder that main character energy is bad for your health and the health of those around you. There's an "aw-shucks" vibe to all of Scalzi's main characters that I'm beginning to grow tired of, however. #LitsySciFiBookClub
pickEnsign Dahl is newly assigned to the starship Intrepid. When he gets there, he learns that ensigns die on away missions. A lot. What he discovers will change everything about his world.
This was so meta, I strained my eyes rolling them. I also laughed harder than I have in a while, so 🤷🏼♀️. This poked loving fun at sci fi tv, but also turned into a moving story about taking control of your own destiny. The codas did feel unnecessary.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
