shadowhiveToday I ended up reading two chapters of Black Spire. I was probably hoping to read more but something about the prospect of Vi being tortured is just... ugh. It’s certain she’ll be rescued (since her appearance at Galaxy’s Edge is after the book) but I think it’ll take a few chapters at least.
I did nap and, when I woke, found that Naryu was curled up on me... but on my head. She really is a strange pup. She still walks along the small walls of front gardens as we walk now.
We had pizza this afternoon but the oven didn’t beep so it was... all burned and ugh. The rest was eatable but I just couldn’t eat the cheese. Sigh.
Roswell New Mexico continued tonight and it surprised me when Claudia Black turned up as Max and Isobel’s mum. I’m curious what will happen with Isobel now but I suspect it’ll be solved quickly. And Alex... he’s a badass confronting his asshole dad. (Also the second series is gonna be on as soon as the first one finishes which surprised me... though in doing so I caught a spoiler damnit!)
My ass of an uncle is, apparently, gonna get someone in to do the garage door on Friday though I’ll believe it when I see it.
So tonight after The Good Doctor I decided to start The Umbrella Academy rewatch with the first episode, so I’m gonna ramble on a bit about that.
You know I’d forgot just how good the series actually was. I remember last year, before the first trailer, I was really nervous about it. I loved the comics and I wasn’t sure if the adaption would do a good job. Then I saw the trailer and was instantly sold. And then it came to the series itself and I binged it over a weekend.
Everyone is just so perfect in their roles and the very first scene with them shows that so well. The intro scene shows five of the seven members of The Umbrella Academy in a montage and it just... perfectly captures them. The episode follows the comic in its own way, though it does tone down some of the weirder elements which is a little sad though it does make sense.
The chemistry between the Academy is what sells it, it has to because so much of the first episode is scenes with them together. You get a sense of the dynamics between them pretty much right away. (And of course there’s that dance sequence!). Five appears later than the rest and his introduction, and last scenes, are perfect. It must have been so hard to find the right person to play him (indeed I remember an interview that said he was the hardest of the seven to cast) and yet they found the right person. And then the reveal of Ben at the end is just perfect.
In shallow terms, Diego looks so hot in his outfit. As does Klaus in his dress. I was sold on Kliego from their interactions (I already shipped it in the comics) though you can easily see just how shippable he is with all of his brothers. There’s obviously the Ben connection (although there’s not much here of course as Ben is quiet and only in the very last scene) but there’s a sense with Luther too and then once Five appears there’s an instant thing.
I’m so gonna end up writing so much for season of kink with them. I’m not sure when I’m gonna watch episode 2, probably next week sometime.
Anyway, now I’m watching the Monterey bay stream.

Naryu is adorable.
