🫡 Goodbye underused domain unrd.net You were a clever short version of ultranurd/unread but I really don't need more than one.

The last episode being more denouement after the fight between Agatha and Death revealed that, once again, the real villain was... trauma?

The Road being a con was interesting but I don't think they ever really explained why Agatha wanted to drain so many witches.

I think one of my favorite MCU properties? Just great design throughout, really good performances, and largely free of franchisitis even as it remained connected. The ending was a touch unsatisfying though.

I'm always a sucker for a predestination paradox and this very cleverly paid off all of Lilia's non sequiturs from earlier episodes.

It was also shot really well... everything was weird and mysterious but never unclear what was happening.

Also now I want to play Balatro.

Walking over to my mother in law's for some syrup for a recipe feels like something off by several decades.

The Macalope once again has an amazing turn of phrase that gave me a chuckle: "AI could be a great technology. It’s too bad it's currently in the hands of a bunch of sentient popped Izod collars." https://www.macworld.com/article/2589654/deepseek-apple-ai-hits-the-finding-out-stage.html

My brain reads RLHF as "rude luck have fun" which makes no sense but here we are.

Did not expect that twist losing the coven already. The '80s sleepover horror tropes were fun, right down to the TV on static in the background. Hahn is really doing some acting layers that we don't usually see in a Marvel show.

(This is extremely unfair to TMP which while a bit slow-paced and reheated Phase II is pretty solid sci-fi. And gave us the Klingon theme! But it makes the pattern work.)

Like the odd number rule it's more wrong than right, but I've got a new theory:

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)

Star Trek: Section 31 (2025)

What horrors await us in 2048?

I just... who in that long list of executive/co/supervising/consulting producers all agreed this was ready and said "Ship it!"?

I really really tried to give it a chance but oof.

Now to enjoy all the podcasts yelling about it 🤣
