Might as well finish watching Dark before I start anything new.

[Foxaèr]

Was almost considering not continuing to watch Dark, but it is getting better. The whole

time concept

confuses me, but otherwise I am glad that I stuck with it. Three episodes left.

Edit:

---

Beginning of episode eight discusses "The Einstein Rosenberg bridge theory"

Due to the Arrested Development Season 4 remix being released today, I will be putting off watching Dark for a couple days. I've been interested in the concept of a more linear Season 4 of Arrested Development since I got into the show a couple years ago and the team announced they were working on it. Now they have. Dark, by contrast, I only heard about a couple months ago. Then again, given that I just got done with The Handmaid's Tale (at least what's been released so far), something lighter may be in order.

Never got into Arrested Development. Never saw one episode.

Yeah, I heard that Handmaid's Tale is freaking dark. I'm hesitating, because I'm uncertain if I can handle it.

Well, the showrunner revealed he hopes the show will last into ten seasons, and he fully expects there to be a season where Gilead has fallen:

“I roughed it out to about 10 seasons when I was first working on it. I see a world beyond [the current one]. I would watch an episode about the Nuremberg trials after Gilead falls. There are lots of worlds you think of: ‘I would love that season — seasons eight, nine or 10, where everything has changed so much.'”

Just remember: Gilead will fall. That certainly made watching it easier on me. Not sure if it will work for you.

No idea who Gilead is.

The theocracy that was once the United States in The Handmaid's Tale

Finished watching Dark.

Interesting concept for a show. Still confused about the ending,

---

my simple understanding is that future Jonas and Claudia completely underestimated their knowledge of what they were attempting to accomplish

, but I suppose they did it that way to pave the way for a second season.

Going to watch the second season of Marvel's Jessica Jones. I'll save Altered Carbon for later.

[Foxaèr]

Giving Jessica Jones a break tonight for some comedy: the second season of Disjointed.

Finally started watching Dark. Went through Episode 1 (so far so good, although it's not quite as gripping as I was expecting, no doubt because there are nine episodes left.)

Then again, it will be put on hold yet again because of the latest episode of Westworld. Then again, it's only an hour of tablet time. I only watched part of that one so far, but given that the first ten minutes show us so much about the world we didn't yet know, from the fact that one of the parks is set during the British Raj to the fact that the boundaries between the parks are thinner than tissue paper, and that Arnold's consciousness virus is apparently anthroponotic (unless they programmed the tigers as an exception to the "hosts can't actually hurt you" rule established in the pilot, and given that A: all the animals in the park are Hosts, except for the flies, and B: there is no way in Hell even Delos would be allowed to put a real endangered apex predator in a position where it can kill humans or be killed.)
