I am a little bit surprised that you've not mentioned Taskmaster!
I'm really enjoying this season of Taskmaster! It's something I watch with my housemates, though, so I can't pause it to take notes; it's a lot easier to share every passing thought I have about Lost, which I watch alone.
It's a strong panel, I think. Jenny's probably my favourite; she's hilariously chaotic. Mae's a strong all-rounder, very focused and determined. Kiell's outrage and little songs are great. Ivo's an entertaining disaster. I wasn't sure what to expect from Frankie Boyle, but Taskmaster often shows another side of its contestants, and that definitely feels like the case here; he's come across as a lot more centred and likeable than I expected. I was startled by how genuinely bad I felt for him in the most recent episode!
I am going to watch for the "this entry is retrospectively hilarious" tag on this entry, just so you know. :P
I very nearly mentioned that tag at that point in the post; it really felt like I was tempting fate. We'll see!
It is really weird when you're watching something long-running and you're suddenly confronted by aging even though it'd be more baffling if it, you know, didn't happen.
True! I wonder whether the three-year timeskip halfway through was in part done because the showrunners went 'we cannot keep progressing time at a rate of approximately one month per season, it's going to become really obvious that that is not the rate at which the characters are ageing'.
Eva sounds like a really interesting character! I just looked Monster up on Wikipedia, and I'm very amused by the quick summary on the first volume's cover ending with 'That's how this horrible story begins!'
I spend a lot of time living in my head just thinking and my family thinks I'm brooding when I'm just like... having fannish thoughts
This is both delightful and highly relatable. Sometimes you have to spend time in other worlds!
