I was recced "Black Sails" multiple times (most often by rydra_wong) and always thought that I would watch it one day, but it sounded a bit too dark for my current preferences. But DD decided she wants to watch it, so I started watching it with her. We were both told that season 1 is bad (but at least short) and that the show gets a lot better later.
We're now halfway through season 1 and we both like it? I don't think it's bad at all so far. Now we're both very nervous about how the second half of season 1 may screw things up. I already want so many of these characters to succeed but there are so many things that could go very wrong.
A new TAZ:Balance live show was put online, and man I missed these characters. Even though I tend to forget how often they are jerks, and sometimes (like this entire episode) it's just silly, they're also so much fun. My favorite parts of the Dallas show were Taako immediately burning someone and later casting Irresistible Dance on a driver, Travis remembering magic items Magnus has and Griffin being so surprised, Merle being generally competent including casting Gate (I'm almost sure he shouldn't be able to, it's a ninth-level spell and I'd be surprised Merle can cast those but whatever) and sending someone straight to the Astral Plane, "and then the T-Rex explodes", and Magnus using a grappling hook like Batman and then taking over a plane.
I'm not listening to TAZ:Amnesty yet because in my experience TAZ works better for me when I binge it, but I'm planning to catch up soon.
I'm also not caught up with Critical Role, I'm a few episodes behind (in the middle of 15) because the episodes are long and I don't do as much other stuff where I could easily listen to it in the background and it's (unsurprisingly) not as captivating yet as the finale of a multiple year campaign was, but it has a lot of potential.
I am caught up on "The Bright Sessions", which seems to alternate between really emotional episodes and those that are a bit lighter/quieter.
Ep 52: aww, Caleb and Adam :)
53: Mark how about you give her more time to think about moving the place where she lived her entire live.
Sam trying to travel back to see her parents again, but it doesn't work :(
Mark and Sam never time-travelled together? Mark being afraid makes a lot of sense, but I was focused on Sam finally having someone she can share her ability with.
The AM wanted to change the past?!! Uh-oh.
Uh, yeah, Sam you spying on the past is kind of problematic. Calling Damien, also not a great idea.
Sam confessing to Mark that she watched the AM was good, but, uh… Of course Mark needs some time to think it over.
Ep 54: We finally heard from Chloe again, good to hear she's doing well. She even had a civil conversation with Damien, who apologized for hitting her, huh.
I hope Mark is okay :(
