recycle that media!

Currently re-reading Meagan Spooner's Sherwood. I'm going to buy a physical copy of the book at some point; right now it's a digital library loan.

Watching Burn Notice for the first time; it's an older show, but [personal profile] ladytharen has been watching it for the first time as well, and her positive reaction persuaded me to give it a try. We agreed that people should have tried pitching us the show by mentioning that there's a lady criminal in it. And there is! Granted, the leading man gets more screen time, but all in all, it's just about perfect for right now: not too stressful, pretty scenery and people, a case of the week (so far, anyway) with a bigger, long-term storyline happening a piece at a time, too.

I'm not watching at a fast pace; it's interesting enough to keep going but I haven't felt like binging it. At least not so far.

To complete this feast of engaging or re-engaging in comfort media, I've been re-reading some of my older posts about Battlestar Galactica. Most of what I wrote was over a decade ago; it really does feel a bit like excavating a time capsule. Especially when I see so many user names in the comments who have disappeared over the years.

(Can you believe that more than a decade after the show ended, people are still out there posting outrageously bad takes about Dualla?! I mean, yeah, you probably can.)

Burn Notice is great trashy summer TV! My friends and I still riff on the "when you're a spy..." monologues.

I haven't watched Battlestar Galactica, but speaking of old shows, I've been rewatching some of my favorite episodes of Community.

+1

I was thrilled when the whole show turned up on Netflix.

Burn Notice is cute indeed! I should continue watching it at some point. It's really a good fit for the current time.

Dualla! Dualla ftw! She was amazing.

Comfort-media has been a big go to for me lately. And yes, reading old posts is such a weird time-stamp. I'm really glad I have it though =)

OH god. I don't want to believe, but I can (at least on meme, there's me and at least one other person who are like "JUSTICE FOR DEE" any time it comes up)

Fiona Glenanne is one of my favorites! I just love her ridiculous glee over breaking and entering and etc. Also, eventually, Tricia shows up.
