Michael J. Anderson in Season 2! In the first episode I remember being self-awarely comedic too. Really makes me wish there’d been more Carnivàle.
Getting massive Professor Professorson vibes from John Savage in the Død Kalm episode of X-Files… and this may be the nichest possible toot.
The subtle skill of backtracking in micro-bursts through whole unrecognised tracts of the audiobook I fell asleep listening to, without accidentally spoiling something for myself.
I think a cat may just have been demolished and scattered to the winds by a gang of seagulls on my roof. Or a group of large, rowdy men may just live there now.
The kind of rain that a hardboiled detective would comment on.
Also Janice-from-Friends and Admiral Jarok from TNG show up! Harder to see a continuity through-line there…
I didn’t realise how many Twin Peaks reunions there were in the X-Files until this rewatch. Michael Horse and Don Davis already in the first season. Both playing suspiciously similar roles.
Turns out I may actually be able to predict a General Election.
Headaches before thunder may be the least impressive of all party tricks.
All of human endeavour as tinnitus.
Early morning heat-baked air above and the water–at this depth?–may as well be cool. Early morning white above and the water–at this depth?–may as well be night. A continuity of life, swarming things, and the background hum of men.

Clearly as apt as anything else.
I clearly have the slogan for my inevitable t-shirt merch.
We must be incomprehensibly slow to all the tiny garden things. Weirdly mobile bits of invasive house.
We are in full garden-coffee and Kindle season.
Reset the counter.
Made the rookie mistake of deciding to organise my hobby space, getting distracted with something else, and now having the psychological weight of ‘oh no, I need to finish all of that first’ preventing me from ever using it again…
Some of the golfers may have been cows.
