HPI !!!! Season five started airing on Thursday, and I have managed to find a friend who gave the premiere to me, so now I've watched the first ep! I watched it at least twice now, mostly in short bits rewinding again and again because it's French only and there are no subs yet, but I think I understand most of it now. And it was very good! YAY new season! I am so happy!

I finished Doctor Odyssey, and the thing I had been afraid of happening did happen, so I'm likely out of there. I don't think they'll get a second season anyway, but... yeah. I might change my mind by September, but I am pretty miffed at where they took it in the end. It was very good in the middle there. Moving on.

Murderbot! I only watched the first ep, and then started rereading the novella, because I'd forgotten most of it. I think I'll finish that first before I'll continue watching more eps. I still don't like the fact that murderbot sounds and looks so decidedly male. Fwiw, I liked the first episode more than I thought I would despite that. It's really well done, great visuals, fun narration.

I tried two eps of Etoile, and while I adore the pervasive bilingualism - every character speaks both English and French and some of them codeswitch wonderfully - I actually don't like a single one of the characters. Some of them actively annoy me to a point I never want to see them again. A pity.

That's too bad about Dr Odyssey. I'm still several episodes from the end.
