Also, it was a strange I-guess-I’ll-just-die-now of drowning.

Just watched ep 1. Think I’ll continue in the same way I watched season 1: admiring how good it looks, but finding it frustrating.

As an example: as welcome as a naked Lee Pace fight scene is, it didn’t really establish how many assassins there were / what they were doing at any given moment.

Was good to see Holt McCallney (from Mindhunter), show up though.

I heard an interview with Genevieve O’Reilly (Mon Mothma in Rogue One and Andor) who, when asked what her favourite Star Wars film was, gave the uncool answer of RotJ, and as the interview was ending, could be heard frantically trying to correct herself - “Argh! I meant Empire!, I meant Empire … [fades out]”.

I’ve always been down on the third film because of “Death Star 2” (like, think of another thing George), and I never went to see the 40th anniversary re-release because it was the ‘Special’ edition. (Speaking of the OT and editions, I saw the ADYWAN fanedit of Empire recently - it’s the best one, IMHO).

Learning the world, by Ken MacLeod perhaps. It’s an alien invasion book, but it’s humans that are the invaders.

I’m still transferring stuff between my phone and computer using FTP, like some caveman.
