I'm bummed that Scavenger's Reign wasn't renewed for season 2. Definitely one of the best shows I've seen in a while. But glad we got that first season!
Piggybacking on this to agree that Scavenger's Reign is incredible and it's so stupid that there won't be a season 2. I'm hoping Netflix makes it happen!
mission accomplished, your intentions when writing to make others feel better works
hemmingway once mentioned of 3 books to take to a desert island one was a hundred years of solitude...the other 2 the bible and henry fielding's the adventures of Tom Jones...i highly recommend 2 of them keep the other in a drawer fir the next 4 years 😉
also seeing as you read anne patchett i read Tom Lake this year...very good i wont spoil the twist
The best exposition is the kind you don't even notice (or I suppose maybe isn't even there??). There are so many alien life forms in this show that I continue to think about! Especially the one that clones creatures, that was fucked (in the best way).

My recommendation is to watch anime with me
Yeah it feels insane to not renew SR.
Will consider DDD... TBD

thank you, appleton, that makes me really happy to hear I've made any impact! <3
i've actually never read any hemingway. i've never heard of the adventures of tom jones??
i haven't read tom lake either! Commonwealth was actually my first Patchett book! Which of these books would you say is your top rec?
I litttterally just finished a book yesterday and DESPERATELY NEED A NEW ONE!
Tom Lake but Tom Jones is prurient and hilarious 19th century brilliance
I read Trick Mirror during the pandemic and had a lot of big feelings! Maybe I'll revisit it!
I liked it too! I really like the author's work in general. I keep meaning to read her new article in the NYer about the CEO that got shot.

Scavengers Reign +1000. The lack of exposition, the mystery is so delightful ❤️
YES! You're right!

My Spotify Wrapped was strongly influenced* by SFB:
1. Soft & Warm* - Voxtrot
2. Take Five - Dave Brubeck
3. i wanna be your right hand* - nemahsis
4. I Miss You - blink
5. The Dumb Song - AJR
— plus three more* in my top 20!
Thanks for the music recs, Erika!
omg Matt, I could NOT BE MORE FLATTERED!
I am 1000% listening to the non-SFB songs you have listed now.
(Also "I Miss You" is perfect forever, great choice to binge).
Why do I know this Take Five song? Is it just way more popular than I ever realized or was it ever featured in something?
The Dumb Song is a bop, I love it! The horns have some ska vibes??
though I should also confess that my favorite listen of the last month has been "Here I Go."

"Piggy piggy, babe in the city. When I smell bacon, it always makes me feel giddy."
So much joy. Such a holiday gift. Makes my heart soar. And soar and soar.
(And soar.)
